Ahead of the No Kings protests, @aclu.org is hosting a Know Your Rights training

LAPD eventually showed up and rescued ICE by attacking US citizens, ICE joined them in firing tear gas and pepper rounds at people. (🎥 @pplscitycouncil.bsky.social )

LA doesn't play

🚨🚨 BREAKING: Protesters have surrounded the federal detention center in Los Angeles. California isn’t backing down, this is a full-blown standoff with the feds. ❤️ A FUCK YEAH!!!

Law Professor @rgoodlaw.bsky.social catches DOJ in a contradiction in the Abrego Garcia case. A major one.

Well then I'm demanding that he fuck right off. No wonder these jerks keep their faces covered.

The idiot: "Walmart made BILLIONS OF DOLLARS last year, far more than expected. Between Walmart and China they should, as is said, 'EAT THE TARIFFS,' and not charge valued customers ANYTHING." Walmart: NOT ONLY WILL WE NOT EAT TARIFFS, WE WILL ALSO LAYOFF PEOPLE. Bitch apple.news/A534Oe_kwQky...

ICE raids hit across Los Angeles today—and locals are rising up. This is what resistance looks like. ✊🏾 This was about an hour ago…

For those of you who are tracking this horrific case ... 👀

Let’s be clear: ICE injured and detained the president of SEIU California for peacefully observing. ICE picked the wrong side. The wrong state. The wrong person. and the wrong union. David Huerta stood up. And now 750,000 SEIU workers are standing up behind him. seiuca.org/press-releas...

We're no longer the leader of the free world. We're no longer a beacon of democracy and justice. We're no longer the land of opportunity. We're no longer a nation in which no one is above the law. Our myths about ourselves are killing us. What to do? davidrothkopf.substack.com/p/we-are-not...

Government agents are openly assaulting our elders with impunity. God help us all. 🇺🇸 #LosAngeles #LAPD #DHS #ICE

🚨 LAYOFF ALERT - Ohio 🇺🇸 Kohl’s will permanently shutdown its Monroe e-Fulfillment Center, impacting 768 employees. Layoffs start Sept 12, 2025, full closure by Oct 31, 2025.

"It's really hard to fathom that the guy making my pizza for 25 years is a gangster and a terrorist, and the person who shows up in an unmarked car wearing a mask and body armor comes to take him away is somehow the good guy” www.wnep.com/article/news...

Bondi DOJ has a problem. On left: DOJ Indictment and Detention Memo allege Abrego Garcia lied to officer by not revealing he was coming from Texas On right: DHS Referral Report: "Subject stated he was driving 'three days ago' (11/27/2022) from Houston, TX to Temple Hills, MD (via St Louis, MO)"

NEW: LAPD just declared ICE protesters an unlawful assembly. A few moments ago 👇🏾

Thinking of a hero I knew and admired.

Movies back on!!

DHS is now firing pepper bullets into the crowd

JFC!!!!

The Russia's Future channel, launched by Navalny's widow Yulia Navalnaya and Reporters Without Borders, began broadcasting Wednesday, on what would have been the late Russian activist's 49th birthday.

Trump said he wanted to get rid of FEMA. ahead of hurricane season, federal workers appear to have stopped that from happening… for now.

“Call your representatives and make sure these cuts are stopped.” Legendary Florida meteorologist says he's worried about 2025 hurricane season after NWS suffers loss of staff and resources due to DOGE cuts. youtu.be/bwmmPlw06_0?...

truck drivers are out of work — literally stuck sitting, waiting and in some cases going broke — because of Trump’s tariffs. here’s one of them. thank you @nicollewallace.bsky.social for the time to tell this story.

this is what having to stockpile rice cookers and air fryers and other household goods looks like for a small importer struggling to stay afloat due to President Trump’s tariffs. thank you @arimelber.bsky.social for helping us share this reporting today.

live from the huge spontaneous anti-ICE protest after the agency used military-style tactics during a series of raids in Los Angeles today.

How about some uplifting news? The LA community is rising up at this very moment and protesting en masse against the unconstitutional, inhumane, and Gestapo type raids today. This is how we fight back against fascism. We the people are more powerful than the despots.✊✊🏻✊🏾

It was my profound honor and pleasure to attend the Unite for Veterans, Unite for America Rally today in Washington DC. Veteran jobs, healthcare, and essential VA services are under attack. We can not stand by. #UniteForVeterans

The decision to pursue charges against Abrego García now, after he wasn't charged in 2022, led to the resignation of Ben Schrader, a high-ranking federal prosecutor who spent 15 years in the U.S. Attorney's Office in Nashville and was most recently the chief of the criminal division.

If clean energy tax credits are repealed, Ohio loses Tens of Billions and America loses massive Private and Public investment. We can create jobs of the future at home now, or we can give them away to China for generations. I want jobs of the future in NW Ohio—not overseas. Call your Senators!

They finna go iiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnn!!!!!

I’ve been offline a lot of the day — has there been any real follow up from Democrats and the media on Elon’s insistence that Trump is in the Epstein Files?

feel like we're in an escalation spiral where these operations are for increasingly indefensible targets with ever increasing pushback leading to even heavier responses/details

No offense to anyone, but if you don’t instantly see how straight-up evil the Trump administration is being here you weren’t raised right This man isn’t in a gang, has no criminal record, was never charged with crimes pre-Trump, and everyone involved in this *scam* well knows it

The United Farm Workers, along with the entire labor movement, stands in strong solidarity with our comrade, labor leader David Huerta. We demand his immediate release and condemn indiscriminate sweeps targeting working class immigrants.
