Has anyone been on hold with the VA, specifically community care for so long that the hold music and reminders all stop and it’s just dead silent on the other end? It all went silent at 1h 45m into the hold.

My team and I at the Crowd Counting Consortium (@[email protected], Soha Hammam, & Chris Shay) have a new piece out: wagingnonviolence.org/2025/06/amer.... In it, we show that through May 2025, the size and scale of anti-Trump protests have dwarfed those in 2017. 🧵

The "fuck you clowns" contempt is an effective strategy in these moments which more people should adopt.

If we live through this, I am holding out for a full-blown Truth and Reconciliation Commission to hold the perpetrators accountable, up to and including a long drop with a short rope, but of course after as much due process as they’ve shown is necessary

Fascists.

Are we really fucking doing this. Had nothing happened to Senator Padilla at all, what she was describing is a federal takeover of a major city by military force with no specified end-date, with no legal authority. Do not let the fascists talk their way out of that.

Just so we're all clear: It's not a coincidence that the first senator they've used physical force against is Sen. Alex Padilla, a Latino man representing California.

it’s secondary to everything else but i have some follow up questions about “there’s no recording here per fbi rights”

This is what Trump's government thugs are willing to do in broad daylight, to a US Senator, with cameras on. They are sending the message that anyone who disagrees with Trump isn't safe in America. This is authoritarianism.

DHS is also lying about him being repeatedly told to back away. The video shows the men who pushed him don’t even open their mouths, they just grab him and get them out of the room without saying a word.

I was chief of staff to a Cabinet secretary and vice president. I have a high opinion of the various federal protective services and personnel with whom I worked. But the fish rots from the head down. Today’s thuggish behavior in LA is just one of the many corrupting effects of Trump and Trumpism.

The state of California needs to arrest the DHS "security" forces for assault and every Democrat in the U.S. Senate needs to sign onto a campaign to impeach Kristi Noem. Right fucking now.

While I was slicing up bits of video for this thread/post, we got confirmation that the commanding officers at Fort Bragg set this up deliberately. This should be career-ending for those responsible. If not, it's "game over" for even the appearance of an apolitical, democratic military in the US.

"We are here to liberate this city from [democratically elected leaders]" You may not think you're at war with them, but they're at war with you.

NY Times is becoming hardly passable for toilet paper while they prop up the regime and pretend to take a “journalistic” stance. Nation of laws and these mouthpieces can’t even inform why these moves are illegal. Just making it the norm for Trump and his cronies.

do not install any app from Facebook or Meta on any device. Ideally avoid installing ANY social media app. Login through a browser. I highly doubt Facebook is the only company pulling this shit www.zeropartydata.es/p/localhost-...

Wild for a place like Spokane. Should continue to speak volumes at how much people hate ICE and their actions.

Remember when these guys were screaming about the existence of a COVID violation tip line? Turns out they love the idea of reporting on their neighbors (of course).

BREAKING: A few minutes ago, a vehicle of three people was rammed by a truck belonging to federal immigration authorities in Boyle Heights, CA. According to security footage shown to me, they deployed chemical munitions & detained the driver at gunpoint. All are US citizens according to the wife.
