ATTN: If you’re a member of the National Guard or you work for ICE and you’re asked to violate the law or your oath, contact Whistleblower Aid to safely, securely, and legally blow the whistle. You can support Whistleblower Aid HERE: whistlebloweraid.org/beans

We need to stand up for @terrymoranabc.bsky.social

Reports and video show flash-bangs thrown into piles of debris just before a car caught fire, strongly suggesting it was law enforcement, not protesters, who sparked it. More details are coming. Don’t let them control the narrative. Thank you to everyone sharing footage, always record everything.

The key language: "under 10 USC 12406 to temporarily protect ICE and other United States Government personnel who are performing Federal functions ... and to protect Federal property, at locations where protests against these functions are occurring or are likely to occur"

Gov. Gavin Newsom said on social media that California National Guard was being taken over by the federal government “not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle.”

You don't make the country safer by using violence and military force to round up people working and raising families peacefully. You make it a miserable hellhole. Tom Homan is a fucking thug and liar who must get off on hurting migrants, and he and his stormtroopers are the threat, not them.

What the LAPD should be doing is arresting ICE agents for torturing children.

For the love of god plz SOMEONE in the White House pool report on the legal authority invoked in this memorandum

How do we outsmart them? Stay home, let the fascists twiddle their thumbs? Gather & protest in ways that show strength while highlighting fascists' unacceptable actions? And @governor.ca.gov, what is the strategy to counter these fascists? @mayor.lacity.gov, how can we ensure they do not prevail?

So, to be clear, Musk has now admitted he funded a man he believes to be a pedophile to be president. And Trump has now admitted that he gave access to high level government secrets to a man he believes to be a big time drug addict. This should be *the* story on the Sunday shows tomorrow.

President Zelensky responds to Donald Trump’s moronic analogy comparing him and Putin to two kids fighting in a park: “We are not kids with Putin at the playground. He is a murderer who came to the park to kill the kids.”

Congratulations to Coco Gauff for winning her first French Open title! We really LOVE this.

“Trump is threatening to defund California — we’re a donor state. We put in $80 Billion more than we get… maybe we should withhold those resources.”—-Gavin Newsom Love my Governor

David Huerta was peacefully exercising his First Amendment rights when he was assaulted and injured by ICE agents. He is currently in the hospital under detention. This is unacceptable. Praying for David’s health and demanding accountability.

Crowds of brave people have surrounded the ICE detention centre in Los Angeles. They are trying to liberate victims kidnapped by Trump’s regime forces. Victims were abducted and thrown into the basement of the building without due process. #3E

Let us never forget the sacrifice of the brave souls who landed on the French coast of Normandy on D-Day, June 6, 1944, to fight the dark forces of fascism. The battle against tyranny continues around the globe. We must stand our ground, now more than ever. 🙏🏼🌍🕊️ #DDay81

We don’t need to back off the American Gestapo and we don’t need to respect its agents. People exercising state violence are not entitled to anonymity. Nor are the people directing the state violence.

If you need a breather from all this bullshit, here's a photo of Earth. From Saturn. We're that slightly brighter star at centre right.

Trump coup d’état time. Elon Musk and Peter Thiel are going to try to coup d’état Trump to put JD Vance in power. The Kremlin propagandists are backing Musk as well.

Just gonna leave this here...

Kudos to German chancellor Friedrich Merz, for having the courage and moral fortitude to stand boldly and unequivocally with Ukraine, telling the President right to his face, that Russia is the aggressor and perpetrator in this war, and that Putin must be stopped. Bravo! 🙏🏼🇩🇪🏆

very fun to read frederick douglass accurately describe the problem with the pardon power in 1867

(1/3) I just want to say, clearly and unambiguously, that I have no reason whatsoever to doubt the Trump administration when it says that the reason it declared war on higher education is because it wants to make sure that dangerous, anti-American protests are given no quarter in the United States.

The Department of Justice is now just another part of the Republican voter suppression war machine. I will do everything I can to "thwart" its efforts to under free and fair elections.

We’re in the DOGE Subcommittee hearing, but where’s Elon? Is the “oversight” in the room with us? 
Republicans wanted to talk about NGOs and Stacey Abrams. But, Trump’s out here slapping a for sale sign on the White House lawn—and y’all wanna play games?

Boasberg: "Absent this relief, the Government could snatch anyone off the street, turn him over to a foreign country, and then effectively foreclose any corrective course of action." An unassailable point. The fact that the U.S. government is fighting this tells you what you need to know.

Millie's emergence as a pothole spa aficionado:

The Tarantula Nebula has a radius of nearly 1k light years and sits in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a dwarf satellite galaxy of the Milky Way, about 160k light years away. We are cosmic gnats. Data from a CDK20 in Chile and processed by me in gnat-sized #crozetva. #astrophotography #photography

If Leonard Leo is out, who’s calling the judicial shots for Trump now? I have an answer. You’re not gonna like it. But still, the FedSoc/Trump war is a good thing because it will slow Trump’s nominations down. My latest in @thenation.com

Brazen, brutal, successful. And likely impossible to recover from or repair. 👇💯

Donald Trump sued me for racketeering, I won and did not back down. Donald Trump tried to have me investigated, I did not back down. Donald Trump named me in executive orders, I did not back down. If your lawyers are so afraid that they are cutting deals with Trump, you have the wrong lawyers.

again, this staggering idiot — this living monument to gross stupidity — is basically the intellectual guru of the sitting vice president

Many of you have heard me speak about the need for “planting” during this season. What joy to address the second cohort of law school graduates in the @legaldefensefund.bsky.social’s Marshall Motley Program - building a core of new civil rights attys in the South. We fight yes. But we must plant. 🤎
