An LAPD helicopter claimed to have ID'ed protesters from above and threatened to "come to your house." The threat was greeted with extreme concern by civil liberties and digital privacy groups. It suggests the LAPD could be using facial recognition to identify and retaliate against protesters.

This is what it looks like without a United States Congress.

SHARE this as a reminder to EVERY member of our military: “We don't take an oath to a King. We don't take an oath to a wannabe dictator” “We take an oath to the Constitution." #FreedomToDissent

Remember when RFK Jr. promised Sen. Bill Cassidy that he would not fire the CDC vaccine advisory panel? Guess what: www.statnews.com/2025/06/09/r...

Are they reviewing disobeying illegal orders? Semper fi.

My father, uncle, and father-in-law were US Marines who fought fascist overreach in the South Pacific in World War 2. I know if they were alive today, they would object to sending Marines to enable fascist overreach in Los Angeles by Trump, Miller, Hegseth, Noem, and Homan today. Semper Fi.

Not a doctor. Not a scientist. No. A longtime heroin addict and current steroid enthusiast who perjured himself in confirmation hearings in order to pursue a twisted agenda that will kill more Americans than Osama Bin Laden.

this is good

We see what they’re doing. They’re baiting us, trying to provoke violence to justify a crackdown. Don’t give them the footage they want. Every broken window becomes propaganda in their hands. Stay sharp. Stay united. We’re here to fight for justice, not feed their narrative.

Trump's chaos is a carefully crafted smokescreen, designed to distract from his catastrophic policies and plunge us into darkness. #FreedomToDissent #Demcast #ProudBlue

A convicted felon sitting in the White House saying Gavin Newsom should be in jail is peak irony.

This is why we’re out in the streets - you cannot defend the actions of people who would lie to kidnap 1st graders. Any human being with a conscience is going to take that personally.

Bass: If you want to go back in time, where was LA on Thursday? Fine, peaceful. Nothing was happening. The minute ICE rolled into town, that's when the chaos started and then add to that—bringing in federal troops.

Good morning Bluesky friends! 🦋 With all that’s happening here in the USA — I can’t stop thinking of Greta Thunberg this morning!

Making the whole thing a street party is exactly the right approach. Keep the violence and escalation on the side of the state. Images of repression, undermine governmental legitimacy. And the more sympathetic that protesters look, the harder it is to paint them as dangerous.

REAL IMAGES from today's peaceful protest in Los Angeles…there was even a musical performance! Legacy media needs to start covering the reality and not just the provocative bits. @meidastouch.com

Photograph ICE and post. We need to do for ICE what Ryan Reilly did for J6 insurrectionists in Sedition Hunters. Identify the ICE thugs. We already know who the criminals who sent them are.

700 Marines from Camp Pendleton have been ordered to deploy to LA If you know ANYONE at Pendleton remind them they took an oath to the Constitution not Trump. Defy the orders.

@aoc.bsky.social @sanders.senate.gov @adamkinzinger.bsky.social @repjasmine.bsky.social We NEED an emergency session in Congress called NOW to address the war Trump has declared on American people in California

If you're a Marine or other service member being mobilized to Los Angeles and you'd like to apply for conscientious objector status, call the GI Rights Hotline to get some guidance on your options: 1-877-447-4487

The Anti-ICE protests are spreading. There are now large protests sprouting up in New York City. This isn’t just happening in Los Angeles anymore.

"An incompetent warning shot or the act of a coward, either way it needs to be properly investigated... how is it okay for your police force to be firing at unarmed Australian journalists?" Karl Stefanovic, an anchor for the Australian broadcast channel that @laurentomasi.bsky.social works for.

An important reminder for EVERY member of our military, share it: “We don't take an oath to a King. We don't take an oath to a wannabe dictator” “We take an oath to the Constitution." (In fact, Republicans in Congress could use a reminder about their oaths too. 202-224-3121) #FreedomToDissent

JUST IN: A federal judge in New York has ruled that the Trump administraiton's rush to send federal employee data to DOGE was a "breach of law and trust" that violated the Privacy Act and cybersecurity protections. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

If you're out protesting, please photograph and document ICE agents. They are building a database of confirmed ICE agents. Help them and spread this message crustiandaily.com/ice-list/

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

Lawrence O’Donnell doing his entire A block with the stumble Trump photo up is pretty decent trolling.

Trump's stumble on the steps up to Air Force One highlights the extent of Joe Biden's physical decline. www.yahoo.com/news/trump-s...

It’s not a surprise that the man who purposely incited a violent attempt to overthrow an American election would now purposely incite violence on the streets of Los Angeles as a justification for military force against American citizens. Not a surprise at all.

The No Kings protest map will help you find a place to exercise your First Amendment rights this weekend. (It's also a pretty good argument against the Electoral College.) www.nokings.org

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.

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.

The incredible view during a spacewalk.

Trump is now calling in an additional 2000 National Guardsmen to LA. Again today, the smaller number of protesters have been mostly peaceful. Trump isn’t getting the response he wants—so he is trying to provoke violence. Protesters stay calm.

Gavin Newsom is responding to red state critics who represent states with higher murder rates than California, including Mike Johnson (Louisiana) and Tommy Tuberville (Alabama).
