ICE Invaded Child’s Birthday Party Claiming It Was a Gang Meeting Federal immigration agents bust up a birthday party on grounds that it was a Tren de Aragua gathering. They still have no evidence for their claims. This is state sponsored terrorism.

Durbin to Bhattacharya: "I can't understand it. I disagree w/ this admin on so many things. But this is the one that really gets to me personally. To think this nation would walk away from medical research. For God's sake...cancer, your budget requests a 38% cut to the National Cancer Institute"

I’m not sure why Gavin Newsome doesn’t activate the rest of his army guard to prevent the president from it or force him to overrule it…. Then fight on the second amendment guaranteeing a state a right to a militia. How can a state have a militia if the president can simply federalize it

<thread> Hegseth expands Guard's orders dramatically today Declaration by California Military Department (CMD) Deputy GC: "CMD was informed ... Guard units would be providing support for counter-immigration operations across Los Angeles, in communities during immigration enforcement operations..."

Posting this 1967 Birmingham News editorial cartoon for all the people who don't realize that this is how MLK was viewed by a big chunk of white America.

LA has the LAPD. How much worse could ICE, or the National Guard be? They all hate freedom and protest with a passion.

“Authoritarian regimes treat scientific evidence not as a tool calibrated by research, collaboration, and the free exchange of ideas, but as an obstacle to overcome.” UCS’s Melissa Finucane explains how today’s attacks on science echo a dark history, and why they pose a threat to democracy & us all.

What are the odds that someone tries to run out in front of a tank during this weekend? And if so, would Chinese media cover the image?

Profiles in Courage

The Anti-Vaccine coup in progress. We don't know what, if any, vaccines will remain available now that the Secretary of Death and Destruction is in control.

Hypocrisy. Leave it to Leavitt.

Attorney General Pam Bondi announced today that the Department of Justice is investigating Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia for his alleged involvement in the kidnapping of the Lindbergh baby and the unexplained. disappearance of Amelia Earhart.

Newsom: This is a national order. We’re talking about you and your state, your own backyard, all depending on the whim of a president who’s unhinged. Depending on how he’s feeling on a particular day, or who’s offended him because he didn’t like what they said on a Fox News clip.

Right now, Dems are hiding in their offices, scrolling their phones fearfully, wondering "how are voters going to feel about the National Guard being deployed?" The right, meanwhile, is vigorously *attempting to shape* how voters feel about it, filling every medium with coordinated propaganda.

The contrast and absurdity is so brazen. They're literally raiding Home Depots to find whatever guys are there to get work as day laborers. People eager for work. And the ICE agents has zero idea who they are or any criminal background.

Other criminals copy ICE criminals.

I like this Gavin more than podcast Gavin.

For decades the NRA and other gun nuts told us that their guns were to protect us all from a tyrannical government. So a tyrannical government is here, they are all sitting on their asses, and the people who want gun control have taken to the streets to defy the tyrannical government instead.

CNN’s Jason Carroll was zip-tied and escorted away—for reporting the news. But they claimed he wasn’t under arrest? Why are they shooting rubber bullets at and silencing journalists? We still have a First Amendment.

MADDOW: “What is this country going to allow him to do? This is an attempted authoritarian overthrow of the 🇺🇸 Constitution and Government… imposition of a dictatorial regime. The strength of the movement against him is what will determine our fate as a country.”

MAGA is addicted to lying. Authoritarians hate the truth.

More murders by Israel at supposed Gaza aid distribution sites. www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

US renounces "two state solution" fig leaf and openly supports a Greater Apartheid Israel, including the West Bank. www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

These cops are protecting order, they are promoting disorder.

NYT: “If you saw all this in any other country — soldiers sent to crush dissent, union leaders arrested, opposition politicians threatened — it would be clear that autocracy had arrived.” 😳🇺🇸 www.nytimes.com/2025/06/09/o...

Patrick O'Neill says that the ICE arrests carried out in courts and schools are the harbinger of virulent fascism and that it is incumbent on every US citizen to be a pebble in the gears to these dangerous acts of state terrorism. www.theburnerseattle.com/post/as-ice-...

BREAKING: LA solidarity protesters in Austin are occupying JJ Pickle Federal Building, which houses local ICE processing center

CNN’s reporter on scene in Los Angeles: I’m being detained..

this is good

Every time Andrew Cuomo gets another million dollars from some shady group or individual it reaffirms that he will never work for New Yorkers. He only works for monied interests and himself. Every single group and individual donating to Cuomo and his PAC is corrupt.

This is on all the Senators who turned a blind eye and voted to confirm. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/09/h...

this is not shocking at all - the story of post-WWII higher ed is not simply the mass expansion of students, GI Bill, state investment, but massive research investment - the university system is the US research system that supports state and federal governments

Kristi Noem: "In LA, what we're been going after is the worst of the worst. They're murderers." (They literally raided a Home Depot.)

Philly local tv station reporting that a man allegedly posed as an ICE agent in order to rob a car repair business office. How many other criminals might be getting this idea right now, given that actual ICE agents are refusing to show IDs, warrants, badges?

“One of the things we saw in the jobs report was continued strong growth in the health care sector for jobs. We can kiss that goodbye if we kick millions of people off their health insurance.” Our Kitty Richards highlights the devastating impacts the GOP budget bill will have on our economy.

Just remember Angelenos are out there FOR THEIR NEIGHBORS. That's what frightens the scepter and orb.

Israel preparing to deport Gaza aid boat activists, including Greta Thunberg

Massive ICE raids right now in Anaheim, La Mirada, Santa Ana, Bell Gardens, and Cathedral City, out near Palm Springs. So many videos can't even keep up with them. Would take all day and night to download and post. Just stay safe, everyone. ICE is all over Southern California.
