TONIGHT: Join the #DisappearedInAmerica mass call to discuss how Trump is undermining the rule of law, how local law enforcement is being pressured to comply, and how people like you can help expose and resist these abuses of power.

Another exciting initiative directly confronting the fossil fuel industry's social license and ability to spread it's propaganda. We all must confront and isolate the polluters wherever we can. #ClimateSky 🔌💡

Trump’s deployment of the National Guard in California is not about the protests. It is about expanding his never-ending grasp for more power. It is about moving this country toward authoritarianism. All Americans must stand together against this gross abuse of power.

"On June 14, Trump wants tanks in the street and a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday. A spectacle meant to look like strength. But real power isn’t staged in Washington. It rises up everywhere else..." www.nokings.org

We will not cower, even in the face of Trump’s militarized escalation. On Saturday, we are going to rise up all across the country in defiance of this administration’s authoritarian agenda. Join the nationwide peaceful protests for No Kings Day: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

It's fascinating to see how closely aligned statements from Angelenos and Canadians have become. And these sentiments are only going to spread. Elbows up, Los Angeles!

ICE raids tried to split LA apart, but might have made it stronger. From coordinating wildfire relief to blocking ICE buses, community organizers say LA County residents keep proving that in a city of strangers, nobody fights alone.

This is the spirit of Los Angeles. This is California. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. #FreeDavidEndRaids

Donald Trump is NOT our king — and on June 14th, it's up to us to prove it.

Donald Trump is deploying the military against the American people.

Government by and for people who drink bleach.

This sure doesn't look like an accident. LAPD needs to investigate and take action immediately.

Own. Being owned, including P3s is a way to higher cost and lower value. In general, in most cases, P3 costs more, takes longer and is lower value and not worth doing. Very few isolated cases are worth it.

Anyone understand why super-deep basements are still being built in the City of Victoria? #yyj

Psst…the only way to stop climate change is to stop burning fossil fuels. Pass it on.

If you're in American science, this is pretty huge. The continued pushback from scientists, electeds, courts, and industry is working www.statnews.com/2025/06/09/n...

“Many of the worst man-made events that ever occurred were not the product of evil geniuses. Instead they were the product of a parade of idiots and lunatics, incoherently flailing their way through events, helped along the way by overconfident people who thought they could control them”

Carbon capture will not save us from the fossil-fueled climate crisis. Bold climate action will. #EndFossilFuels

This is the way to stand up to these bullies! Respect ✊

“A draft dodger is holding a military parade on June 14. That is so offensive to people like me that I have no words that are not profane to say what I feel.” While Trump wastes millions on his birthday parade in DC, we’re showing up everywhere else to say NO KINGS: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

It is completely unlawful for ICE to turn away members of Congress like this. The law could not be more clear; no member of Congress may be denied access to a facility where ICE is detaining someone, and they cannot be required to schedule in advance. Surprise inspections must be surprise.

Families are being ripped apart and communities are being terrorized across America. We're coming together to lift up the stories of our neighbors, organize, and stop the horror. JOIN US TONIGHT 👇

Hey Canadian media, there is a big broad anti-fascist movement in the US. Please report on it. All of it. We need to know. #cdnmedia #cdnpoli

More of the usual bullshit gaslighting from the MAGA ambassador. Canada issued a travel warning about having phones seized by US customs because it is a real threat. He claims Americans face threats in Canada as well. The difference is we have the rule of law. They have ICE gangs kidnapping people.

Watch the slow motion: it appears to me that the officers discuss the photographer and reporter before the one on the end fires on them (it looks to me like he's aiming at the camera, not the reporter, but you decide)

There is no such thing as "decarbonized oil" Donner denounces notion of “decarbonized oil” as “Orwellian.” He is co-chair of the federal Net-Zero Advisory Body (NZAB) & climate scientist at UBC studying oceans & the intersection of climate science & policy www.nationalobserver.com/2025/06/09/o...

"Here’s the good news – anticipatory noncompliance is on the rise. Challenges to Trump’s unconstitutional actions have emerged in higher and K-12 education, the legal profession and the corporate world. The citizenry is now making its voice heard."

It is time to #TaxTheRich, create affordable homes for all, great electric public transit, and lots of other things Canadians value. Heck, get #elbowsup and tax the upper middle class more too. We did it during *and after* WWII and need to again. #cdnpoli

The cost of one yacht could change the lives of 6 million people. Imagine what the fortunes of all the world's billionaires could do. A more just and humane world is possible. The resources exist. #EndPoverty #TaxTheRich #HumanityFirst #MillionairesForHumanity

Ahead of No Kings Day, a couple trainings we have coming up that might be useful: Safety and Deescalation: www.mobilize.us/nokings/even... Know Your Rights (w/ACLU): act.aclu.org/a/2025-kyr-t...

Note from a human rights lawyer to members of the U.S. military: If directed to execute illegal orders, remember, declaring “I was just following orders” was not a valid defense during the Nuremberg trials, & it won’t be here either. Your oath is to the US Constitution—not to a 34X convicted felon.

notable that the poster child for morally empty ambition has finally figured out that there are gains to be reaped from opposing the administration's actions

There's a lot of leeway between quiet/polite/stay-at-home and riot, and in that I'd include a lot of mass movements I've been proud to be part of, including the Seattle WTO actions, the 2003 antiwar protests, Occupy Wall Street, BLM, Standing Rock.... They mattered.

All around us, there are people who are working to make the world a better place, who are kind and decent to other people, who have sane & empirically grounded worldviews. So why is the media world filled with profile after profile after profile of dipshit scumbags?

How on earth can this country still hold the World Cup and Olympics next year??

HAPPENING NOW: Protesters marching peacefully in the streets of LA to protest ongoing ICE raid operations and Trump’s federalization of the National Guard 📍Los Angeles, CA
