I think we’ve found the source of the violence

Nonviolent resistance is how we win. History proves that peaceful, strategic movements are the most successful in achieving lasting change. Violence is not the answer—it only plays into authoritarian hands. Stay safe. Stay together. 💙 @nickknudsenus.bsky.social news.harvard.edu/gazette/stor...

ICE arrested 36 Chinese & Taiwanese immigrants after raiding an LA nightclub. That's them, ziptied on the sidewalk. Yo Asians—if you weren't already outraged and mobilizing on behalf of others, guess what? That "First they came for the..." poem has gotten up to us. www.latimes.com/california/s...

'I REALLY DON'T CARE, DO U?'

From a post by Bakar Jabbie: #TruthOverNoise #ResistTheLies The numbers don’t lie, but leadership sure does! $12.5 billion in lost international travel spending isn’t some fluke. It’s not seasonal. It’s not market driven. It’s the world saying loud and clear!

The deployment of federalized National Guard troops to California, without consent from local or state officials, is deeply troubling. These are tactics seen in authoritarian regimes, not in America. We want to be clear, the military should not be used to police civilians.

The Los Angeles Police Department has stated that demonstrations in the city have remained peaceful. Let that sink in.

DEVELOPING: No warning. No reason. NYPD officers rushed into the crowd and tackled a protester this weekend. His body was limp. He couldn’t move. He said, “I can’t feel my legs.” He might never walk again. For showing up. This is brutality. This is America.

Tom Homan is lying. “They arrested a lot of bad people yesterday.” They say this each & every time, & each & every time they are arresting non-criminals. It is Tom Homan who is sending in armies into our cities to make highly visible arrests. Tom Homan is the one instigating the violence.

When a Blackhawk helicopter brings weapons and ammunition to a battle, you expect that “battle” not to be against our own.

For the all the upcoming No Kings protests on June 14th This training covers the range of rights people have to protest, how people can document policy activity and avoid police surveillance, and tips for how to prepare and what to bring to protests.

Why sheriff Taylor doesn't carry a gun. Clip from 'The Andy Griffith Show', season 5, episode 23. Broadcast on March 1st, 1965.

Very strange.....

“Parents in Gaza Are Running Out of Ways to Feed Their Children: ‘All We Want Is a Loaf of Bread’” www.nytimes.com/2025/06/07/w...

All we want is healthcare.

ICE and DHS are trying to provoke rioting in Los Angeles. Where are @mayor.lacity.gov or @governor.ca.gov ???

Protect our wild life……

LOS ANGELES: Stay off the streets tonight. Stay home. Stay safe. Tom Homan says the National Guard might be deployed — and I’m telling you, he wants violence. They’re baiting us to react so they can escalate. Rule #1: Never protest at night. That’s when the worst happens—under cover of darkness.

Less than 25% of Illinois farmland is owned by the people who work the land. So if the state’s farms aren’t owned by farmers, who owns them? A Tribune analysis digs into this question.

"But, where once the tabloids ran daily outrage cycles, the country now lives inside one – a vast machine that demands constant content, instant reaction, and moral fervour at all hours. Algorithms prioritise emotion over nuance." @bearlypolitics.co.uk www.bylinesupplement.com/p/bearly-new...

Bernie: "What that is all about is that if you're rich in America, you can make campaign contributions, you are entitled to massive tax breaks because you're superhuman beings. But if you're a poor working stiff, working at McDonald's, struggling to put food on the table, you're entitled to nothing"

Wow. Caroline Kennedy breaks her silence on RFK Jr in a message to Senators: “We grew up together. It’s no surprise that he keeps birds of prey as pets because Bobby himself is a predator. He enjoyed showing off by putting baby chickens & mice in a blender to feed to his hawks.”

very fun to read frederick douglass accurately describe the problem with the pardon power in 1867

Yikes

Ground beef sold nationwide possibly contaminated with E. coli

Reminder to ICE: Do not lay hands on American citizens. Video, photos, and personal information have been recorded. Actions have consequences. If you have information to share, email [email protected]. Your safety is our top priority, never forget that.

I think we’ve reached a boiling point when it comes to ICE. Today in Minneapolis, a militarized task force raided the beloved Lake Street taqueria, Las Cuatro Milpas—and the community was not having it. Agents from ICE, the DEA, FBI, ATF, IRS and HHS rolled up looking like they were ready for war.

Last night, Hillsborough County Public Schools held its first school board meeting since letters from state officials ordered books off shelves. Two parents made particularly poignant statements that must be heard. You can watch the whole meeting here: www.hillsboroughschools.org/Page/6365
