Sen. Rev. Raphael Warnock on Trump deploying troops to Los Angeles: “He is using the symbolism and the uniforms of our service members in a campaign to do what he's been doing for 10 years, and that is to convince us that we are at war with one another.”

“And maybe just so they look different they should wear all black shirts and like high boots and have an insignia like Super Security”

Poll workers told me turnout has been light this rainy morning. Get to the polls NJ (and NYC!) while we still have the luxury of elections.

why is the president the only person testing the limits of his power? everyone should see what they can get away with. what if zookeepers gave helicopters to gorillas? nobody has tried this

Got to meet Senator Klobuchar and Senator Cortez Masto and that was super cool but my favorite was a woman who came up and said “you speaking about your father almost made me lose my eyelashes!” Please follow the link below and help us with this terrible disease Thank you

LAPD fired rubber bullets at Australian journalist @laurentomasi.bsky.social

Another thing to mention for people who don't live in LA. Most of LA is very chill and peaceful right now. There's a huge Pride fest going on, countless farmer's markets, tourists walking around, families at the parks, people walking their dogs. It's a big place.

This is beyond delusional insanity, it needs its own new terminology for how devoid of reality it is. This man is a deranged lunatic. I live in L.A., am out doing errands. L.A. is exactly like it is on any other day, with a few hundred protestors in a couple of spots in a city of nearly 10,000,000

nearly every one of these protest riots is actually a cop riot. When police aren't around, it just looks like this

LA — immigrant-run Salvadoran restaurant La Ceiba helps sheriff’s deputies with tear gas in their eyes. ABC post: www.tiktok.com/t/ZTjgyJjKd/

Mr Homan, Don’t pretend. If you actually wanted to end the threat of violence, the easiest way is to simply stop the ICE raids immediately. But you, Trump, Miller, and Noem are intentionally terrorizing immigrant communities to deter non-white immigration. Violence helps you do it.

Is this just kind of like repeat it until you believe it yourself? Your boss pardoned everyone who assaulted law enforcement on January 6th. Ass!!!

“Anyone”

The Israeli defense minister is openly threatening the life of GretaThunberg and other unarmed peace activists on an aid ship. Where the f**k are the world’s leaders? The world’s media?

We’re taking the acela down to DC today and remember in PEELING THE ONION when he’s on the train heading into Berlin that’s on fire?

I’ve only been here a couple of three days but nyc traffic is better than i ever remember it being

This is an important and overlooked dynamic. A lot of what the Administration says and promises to do is based on lies. And to quote Craig Mazin’s “Chernobyl,” “every lie creates a debt to the truth.” Eventually that debt has to be paid. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/08/u...

Kristi Noem in Feb 2024: If Biden federalizes the National Guard [to handle border issues], we’ve got a war on our hands.”l Kristi Noem in 2025 as DHS Secretary: …federalizing the National Guard.

Really didn't take long at all for the darkest predictions to come to pass. And I'd wager a good majority of his voters still don't even know, thanks to a media very dedicated to processing reality for them.

Undocumented immigrants pay almost $100 billion in taxes each year. The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes each year. Stop pretending that immigrants are the ones taking advantage of taxpayers.

If you are National Guard or Active Duty military and you are being ordered to violate the constitutional rights of US citizens then this is the number to the GI Rights Hotline. There is support. You don’t have to go through with it. 877-447-4487

What happened to states’ rights, Kristi?
