ICE protecting Americans from this criminal mastermind who was brought here at age 8 so he and his mom could escape violence in Honduras

A college classmate in Corvallis, Oregon sent me this photo she took at the “No Kings” protest there. I’m sure a lot of people can relate to it.

Based on crowd-sourced records of No Kings Day event turnout, and extrapolating for the cities where we don't have data yet, it looks like roughly 4-6 million people protested Trump across the U.S. yesterday. That's nearly 2% of the U.S. pop! Mobilized anti-Trump resistance is exceeding 2017 levels

O.M.G. Check out this footage of the Trump military parade in DC. The empty bleachers. The squeaking wheels. What an embarrassment for Donald Trump. (video via Elizabeth Landers of the Scripps News service over on X)

Chicago ✊

No King protest in red Idaho. Love it. 💙

Today in Boston. Over a million people turned out. Even the drone couldn't get it all. #NoKingsDay #BostonStrong #ICEProtest

🏆 to whoever came up with and coordinated the No Kings protest at Ocean Beach, San Francisco. Don’t miss it…absolute fire.

A group of us have arrived on the Senate floor to challenge our colleagues - on both sides of the aside - to rise to this moment and jointly condemn what has happened to Sen. Padilla. Yes we still need to collect the full facts, but this appears to be a defining moment for the country.

Today they have crossed a deep red line. We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

In the past week, a union leader has been arrested, a U.S. Rep charged with a crime, a U.S. Senator violently handcuffed, and reporters shot with rubber bullets and detained. There is no ambiguity. This is a regime operating as an authoritarian. Americans who believe in liberty must oppose it.

Trampling on sanctuary, one of the oldest ideas for protecting the vulnerable.

Every day I send my kid to school by telling him to ask a good question. That's what Alex Padilla did today and he got thrown on the floor. Thank you @padilla.senate.gov for standing up for Californians, Americans, and the Constitution.

My god, a Senator on the floor.

Lies lies lies

This is a lesson the men who manhandled U.S. Senator Alex Padilla need to learn.

PHYSICAL ASSAULT OF A US SENATOR BY THE ADMINISTRATION. EVERYONE SHOULD BE IN THE STREETS.

HERO

Here’s a video of Stephen Miller in high school screaming that he’s “sick and tired of being told to pick up my trash, when we have plenty of janitors who are paid to do it for us.” This is the sociopath shaping our immigration policy and so much more

Days after NOAA released figures showing the highest seasonal concentration of CO2 in recorded history, the EPA moved to roll back emission standards for power plants. "The EPA is trying to get out of the climate change business,” says one expert. www.wired.com/story/the-ep...

Defy them then, or else hold close thy lips.

Double.

The family values party.

Hmmm!

This is even worse bc it is the ultimate politicization of the military & says a lot about the officers. This tells me that high ranking officers will be too afraid to oppose Trump if/when they are given a clearly illegal order.

And before that, the Soviet Union....

Protestors in Omaha following an ICE raid in which around 100 people were arrested.

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

CA Gov. Gavin Newsom urges peaceful protests: "I want you to know that you are the antidote to that fear and that anxiety. What Donald Trump wants most is your fealty, your silence, to be complicit in this moment. Do not give in to him."

This is my friend's video from Santa Ana, CA in OC. The Santa Ana PD had this situation totally under control. It was peaceful. Then ICE came in to provoke & attack. ICE is a terrorist secret police Gestapo-style band of thugs, posers, mercenaries & miscreants Speak up Call Congress: 202-224-3121

I am a historian and the consensus as to the start date for Italian fascism is when Mussolini, accused of having his party disappear a leftist member of Parliament, made a speech daring anyone to do anything about it - no one did.

The protests are responding to government violence, not the other way around, you cowards

Breaking News: The health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. removed all 17 members of a CDC advisory panel in his latest move to dismantle years of vaccine policy.

“I just can’t shake what just happened…These are folks trying their very best to comply with the law, and instead they’re taken away in handcuffs.” This is what an ICE arrest in Boston immigration court looks like: www.bostonglobe.com/2025/06/09/m...

Here’s Kristi Noem filled with hypocrisy saying if President Biden federalizes the National Guard it would be a direct attack on state’s rights. The cognitive dissonance is astounding.

"More than four dozen people there holding up signs at the main gate to Camp Pendleton with slogans such as, 'We're on a slippery slope to fascism' and 'your oath is to the Constitution.'"

People asked me when I'd give advice as though this were Moscow or Tehran. My answer stands: When this becomes Moscow or Tehran. Don't keep badgering me for permission to stop voting. Democracy is still alive in this country and abandoning it is rank defeatism.

Thoughts and prayers to America's Gestapo, cowering in fear in the face of such violent [checks notes] . . . ur, dancing in the streets.
