Trump venomously sabotages peace by urging nations to boycott a UN conference on the Israel-Gaza two-state solution, wielding a diplomatic demarche as a battering ram to crush hope for resolution. #3e

You can just feel the love

Reminder that I AM LATINA AND PROUD. I am the product of immigration - my grandmother was undocumented and entered the country from Mexico as a baby. My mother was a fierce, gorgeous Latina woman of Mexican and Spanish descent.

Morgan Chesky, NBC news national correspondent, shows Jen Psaki a "rubber bullet" that was fired by Los Angeles police and hit his producer as police clashed with protesters this evening.

Troops in U.S. cities. Talk of the Insurrection Act. Whispers of Martial Law getting louder. This isn’t alarmism—it’s the moment we’re in. Here’s how we got here, what it means, and why looking away now would be a grave mistake. www.jackhopkinsnow.com

This entire "national immigration emergency" is the fakedy-est faked fake emergency in the history of fakery That is what it was on January 20, and that is what it is now The whole thing is a steaming, fly-riddled pile of horseshit and anyone who tracks immigration trends knows it

Wow. Just wow.

I am sounding the alarm as loudly as I can that Donald Trump has turned the Department of Justice into a cog in his authoritarian machine to prosecute his political opponents.

CNN ran a clip of my interview with @governor.ca.gov from today. Absolutely unhelpful to have National Guard and Marines in LA.

šŸ—£Trump just did what no other president has ever done in the context of urban unrest: 🚨He sent federal troops to a state without a request from the governor. The president abrogatedāš ļø Governor Gavin Newsom’s Authority over his own Guardsmen.😄 #USPolitics #Lawless www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Benjamin Netanyahu torches Gaza with a merciless war, starving innocents while dodging corruption trials at home. A political charade that buries 55,000 under rubble for power’s sake. #3E

I'm dissociating myself from anyone who stood behind Trump at Fort Bragg, and in their heart and mind agreed with him...and endorsed the BS he was saying. Those folks (and I'm allowing for the remote possibility that not all of them support him) are not my brothers and sisters. We are not the same.

Minnesota was just ranked the 5th best state for child wellbeing — here’s why: āœ… Free school meals āœ… Nation-leading Child Tax Credit āœ… Paid family and medical leave

Jesus Christ... the Washington Post is so fallen from its former glory that it tacks on the name of Robert W. Malone—one of the most infamous, shameless, and dangerous misinformation merchants in the United States—as one of the Kennedy Jr. appointees without making any comment about his past at all.

More performative BS from Pam Bondi. January 6th is NOT the LA protests. Don’t let her lies stand without pushback.

Trump's EPA shreds climate safeguards, torching limits on fossil fuel filth while mercury poisons infants’ futures. A grotesque gift to coal barons, choking the planet for profit. #3E

Denmark has voted overwhelmingly in favour of a new defence agreement giving the US sweeping powers on Danish soil, including ā€œunhindered accessā€ to its airbases. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

Trump's reckless tariff flip-flopping nearly choked US defense firms, strangling their lifeline to China’s rare-earth metals vital for smart bombs, until a draft deal clawed back some stability. #3e

šŸ”„ @repstansbury.bsky.social : ā€œThe deployment of Marines against American citizens is a disgusting abuse of power. There is no legal basis for it.ā€

I’ve always hated bullies. That said, Mike Johnson is one of those guys in high school…who would have been foolish to think I’d come to his rescue.

While President Trump flexes America’s might by deploying Marines to lock down Los Angeles, one uniformed rebel shocks the nation—stepping out of rank and into the fire, marching shoulder-to-shoulder with activists in a high-stakes stand against ICE! #ThatsWhatImTalkingAbout

Gabbard wants to appease Putin. Near the end she says ā€œpolitically elite warmongers are carelessly fomenting fear and tensions between nuclear powers.ā€ Thats what this is all about.

Denmark’s sovereignty bleeds under Trump’s relentless grip, as US forces seize ā€œunhindered accessā€ to airbases like Karup, trampling local laws with untouchable arrogance. #3e

1. Amid heightened tensions in the region, the United States is: - Ordering the evacuation of nonessential personnel from the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad - Evacuating nonessential personnel and family members from Kuwait and Bahrain

Tusk slithers through Poland's political mire, clutching a 243-210 vote of confidence to mask his coalition's crumbling foundation after a brutal presidential election gut-punch. #3e

Really enjoyed this conversation today.

NEW YORK CITY

Trump's deployment of troops to #LosAngeles is a disgraceful misuse of military resources. Congress is AWOL with no guardrails. This isn't about immigration enforcement - it's about consolidating power against democratically elected officials.

Russia launched yet another drone attack on #Ukraine last night. ā–Ŗļø Kharkiv.In the Slobidskyi& Osnovianskyi districts of the city,there were direct strikes on high-rise buildings, playgrounds, businesses,public transport.Two people were killed,60 were injured, including nine children,SESU reported.

We will not cave.

āš”ļø Zelensky urges 'stronger' EU sanctions on Russia, lower oil price cap. President Volodymyr Zelensky said the upcoming 18th EU sanctions package "could be stronger," especially in targeting Russian oil tankers and the financial sector.

I just sat down with @governor.ca.gov for an exclusive interview on the military aspects of this unwanted and unneeded deployment of National Guard and Marines to LA. We discuss what this means politically and on the ground. Join us at 3pm ET/12pm PT right here! @gavinnewsom.bsky.social
