⚠️ Warning: The Trump administration is circulating footage from 2020 to make the situation in L.A. appear more chaotic than it is. This is an intentional effort to manufacture a larger crisis. Stay alert. Pay attention. The propaganda machine is in overdrive.

Meet John. He’s an Army and Marine veteran who lives in Marlboro County. When he was stationed in Alabama, he was exposed to dangerous toxins and now, he has cancer, and he isn’t able to get the care he needs from the VA.

When people said “abolish ICE,” this is why. The politicians from both parties who called that “radical,” blindly funded them and called it “immigration reform,” because they were getting campaign donations from the corporations getting ICE contracts. And now we’re here.

On #OceansDay 🌊: Oceans hold 96.5% of Earth’s water. Over 1,000 species 🐠🦈 found with #microplastics — and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Glad to see the EU stepping up to cut microplastic pollution. #ChemicalSafetyEU #plastics #science

This is apparently what Bezos approves as "in support and defense of...personal liberties and free markets.” Support pro-democracy media. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

Reporter: There’s a pretty good chance Trump might be watching Newsom: I hope so, he might learn something— rescind this order— it’s illegal. You’re creating the conditions you claim you’re solving and you’re not

My local coffee shop is not playing around.

Tom Homan says he was taken out of context by a reporter when he threatened to arrest Gavin Newsom. "The NBC reporter that interviewed me is very dishonest. We did a 20 minute interview and he cuts out a little clip and takes my words out of context." Jonathan Lemire: "NBC stands by its reporting"

Everything that is happening in Los Angeles could've been avoided if folks had listened and voted for the sane and qualified black lady.

What sparked the chaos in Los Angeles this weekend? Community organizer Ron Gochez says ICE agents "kidnapping people" led to fierce resistance from local residents who are "sick and tired of these attacks that are dividing and separating our families."

If troops show up in our cities, we stop. No work. No deliveries. No shopping. No compliance. A general strike isn’t radical—it’s survival. This isn’t what freedom looks like. You want martial law? Then you’ll get a country on pause. We refuse to be ruled by force. #GeneralStrike

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. ☎️ 1-877-447-4487 From #veterans to #activeduty personnel.

So much this…

Didn’t Trump refuse to attend the dignified transfer of four Army soldiers who died during a military training mission—just to attend a Saudi-backed golf dinner with his billionaire Saudi donor buddies? This parade isn’t about honoring the Army’s anniversary. It’s 100% about boosting Trump’s ego.

Trump almost face plants today.

To every spineless politician condescendingly "reminding" protesters to be "peaceful," please watch as a police officer unprovoked shoots a reporter who's just reporting (and facing away from the bastard).

Arrest the ICE agents. #SheShed.

One in 35 Americans live in Los Angeles County. Los Angeles is America.

Newsom responds to Homan statement on possibly arresting him: He's a tough guy. Why doesn't he do that? He knows where to find me. Lay your hands off four year old girls that are trying to get educated. Come and arrest me. Let’s just get it over with tough guy. I don’t give a damn

It’s only a war zone because ICE Agents and Nat’l Guard are everywhere - my friend who lives in LA tells me the place is crawling w heavily armed ICE agents — she’s never seen anything like it

C'mon, America -- it is time to: #SmashTheFascists

Dozens of journalists were assaulted by law enforcement in Los Angeles this weekend. The press were just doing their job -- a sacred one explicitly protected by law. Press rights orgs will follow up collectively tomorrow. Tonight, I emailed evidence to local/state/federal officials. My sign off:

Those concerned about violence might want to start with violence against immigrants, by ICE here, by illegal deportations to gulags and third countries, the violence against so many federal departments, against the law, the climate, the public lands, waters, civil rights, reproductive rights...

If Mr. Moran worked for me, I would have had a private conversation with him about crossing a line into too much subjectivity—I would not have suspended him. I suspect if he had said the same exact words on air, nothing would have happened. Journalists have free speech rights too.

If you agree, please share!

*taps the sign*

Earlier this week, I had the honor of talking with Virginians who would be hurt by the planned GOP cuts to nutrition assistance. Heartbreakingly, their stories are not uncommon—millions more, including children, would be hurt across the country. I’m fighting against that.

Major General Randy E. Manner, former Acting Vice Chief, National Guard Bureau statement to Fox News: "This is an inappropriate use of the National Guard and is not warranted.”

The essence of fascism is government by emergencies. Dictatorship by first resort instead of a last resort. Creation of permanent crises instead of resolving them.

Thinking of Greta Thunberg (and co) and those being attacked by ICE in LA. Lot of horrible stuff going on right now but also A LOT of people standing up for what's right.

Supporting #TraitorTrump means violating our oath to defend the constitution

This is exactly what we need from all our members of Congress—SHOW UP. Thank you, Reps @gomez.house.gov , @repluzrivas.bsky.social , @ntorres35.bsky.social , and Lou Correa for showing up at the Federal Building to demand answers amid reports of inhumane conditions: no beds, no food, no water.

The city of Glendale, in Los Angeles County, announced today that they're quitting an agreement with ICE thad allowed ICE to house its detainees at the Glendale police department. mynewsla.com/crime/2025/0...

True story bro.

👀 @johnfugelsang.bsky.social : “Ever notice nobody hates other Americans more than Americans who boast how American they are? Cali gives $80 BILLION more than it takes... This isn’t even legal. The only thing he hates more than the new testament is the constitution.”

AYMAN: "Should ICE be abolished?" @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social sky.social: "I believe it should."

Senator Ted Cruz posted a dramatic video of LAPD cars on fire with the caption “this… is… not… peaceful.” What he didn’t mention? The footage was from 2020, not 2025. His post on X falsely implied it was current, part of a broader effort to spread lies and manufacture a crisis.

The National Guard was not in Los Angeles last night. Our leader has no idea what is happening around him.

Here we go again. Just like in 2020 right-wingers will be posting old videos or videos from other countries claiming it was today in the US. All for clicks and to fan the flames of division and hatred. It’s part of their standard playbook.
