We still have no idea who the ICE agents are. They could be insurrectionists, extremist militiamen or criminals themselves, chasing law-abiding citizens down the street for recording their kidnappings. The odds they aren't are low. Congress must raise hell about this. A masked gang runs our country.

amtrak’s marketing team gets it

In Bell, CA an entire community stood up against ICE, including the local police and the fire dept. The fire truck appears to not allow ICE vehicles to move forward nor remain and pushes forward to escort them out. A police car also helped with escorting. /

The growing politicization of vaccines isn't going to serve the United States well, six former #ACIP chairs warn in an opinion piece in @statnews.com. The result will be more illness and deaths from preventable diseases & an erosion of #pandemic preparedness. www.statnews.com/2025/06/20/a...

6/19/25, Hollywood CA. Outside a Home Depot on Sunset Blvd, community members pack up food stands after street vendors were seized in a federal immigration raid.

Hmm. He wasn’t complaining about holidays 3 weeks ago with Memorial Day. What is it about this one that has him so worked up, I wonder?

Here is the LAPD telling ICE to GTFO of Dodger Stadium. The only reason they came was to start a riot. What they got was the boot. More of this, California.

It is impossible not to read this in conjunction with the Supreme Court's heartrbreaking, awful decision in Skrmetti allowing states to deny transgender teens the health care they need.

I still can't get past the idea that people in America are now supposed to accept that this is a valid form of law enforcement and just assume it's fine when random dudes in groups with face-coverings, no ID, no warrant, & no uniform grab people off the street and force them into unmarked vehicles

North Korea out there calling balls and strikes.

Arturo Obrego, a 77-year-old army veteran who hitchiked from Huntington Beach is going viral for getting hit with wooden baton by officers on horses and knocked down during today’s peaceful “No Kings” protest in DTLA. @TheGlutster ran into him at Union Station a couple of hours after the incident.

After a long #FuckICE protest march throughout Van Nuys, we are now back at the City Hall area dancing #LA

Remarkable. MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful." Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd. Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

If you’re undocumented, don’t march tomorrow. Stay home. Let the rest of us get this one. Solidarity ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼

ICE is going to parks in Los Angeles and kidnapping nannies who are caring for small children The children are witnessing these kidnappings and being held in custody until their parents are contacted Women and children in parks

This guy is just posted up outside of Congress and I’m honestly not sure what his political views are but I agree

WASHINGTON (AP) — Trump administration gives data of immigrant Medicaid enrollees to deportation officials, documents obtained by AP show.

Sitting US Senator Alex Padilla forcibly wrestled to the ground and arrested by the FBI for attempting to ask a question of DHS secretary Kristin Noem.

Better save a copy of this now

Reminder: We keep us safe! 🛑 If you see ICE in LA, don’t stay silent. Report it to the LA Rapid Response Network. 📲 #ImmigrantsBelong #NoDeportations #SomosCHIRLA

We feed you. They hunt us.

This is a real thing being posted and circulated by the Department of Homeland Security, referring to undocumented immigrants as “foreign invaders” and urging good Americans to turn them in. (I’ll leave it to BlueSky historians to find comparisons to WWII era materials.)

BREAKING: A few minutes ago, a vehicle of three people was rammed by a truck belonging to federal immigration authorities in Boyle Heights, CA. According to security footage shown to me, they deployed chemical munitions & detained the driver at gunpoint. All are US citizens according to the wife.

This story leaves me feeling both sad and heart-warmed. THIS: “She decided to do this in her own terms. She has no criminal record. A hardworking taxpayer who’s been working 12-hour shifts since she was 15, six days out of the week. She never asked for a handout. She didn’t get food stamps…”

You know what to do…

If you're a disabled person whose mobility devices are damaged at anti-ICE protests by the police etc and you have evidence of it, I'm always interested in you contacting me for a potential @motherjones.com story at [email protected] or signal: juliametraux.49.

we’ve got a bunch of parents voluntarily guarding the elementary school gates if you want to know how LA feels this morning

Americans are taking to the streets and showing up in US cities by the thousands to protest a plethora of President Donald Trump’s second-term policies. In response? Tear gas deployed and protesters shot with rubber bullets in LA. A WIRED guide on how to protest safely:

The president exists in a dystopian fantasy world with no connection to reality

Weather is getting nice, what if 10 million people went outside at the same time
