LA DODGERS just now: “This morning, ICE agents came to Dodger Stadium and requested permission to access the parking lots. They were denied entry to the grounds by the organization. Tonight’s game will be played as scheduled.” Right on, Dodgers! More of this, please.

Juneteenth is a celebration of freedom, but also a reminder: freedom delayed is freedom denied. #Juneteenth #BlackHistory #FreedomDay #NeverForget

All kids are equal, but some kids are more equal than others.

Get the National Guard out of Los Angeles!

ICE denied U.S. Reps. Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL) and Jonathan Jackson (D-IL) entry into it’s facility in Chicago.

KAINE: “You didn’t call any of the families. They learned about it from the press.” @sentimkaine calls out @petehegseth for not having the courtesy to call the families of the 🇺🇸 soldiers whose names he’s stripping from military bases to put the names of Confederate generals back.

With everything else going on, the Senate sent the Big 💩 Bill back to the House, and made some changes. Here’s one:

You lose healthcare. They gain yachts. Keep spreading the word.

I just walked into a Trump store in southern Missouri. I picked up a few items and saw that they were made in China. The place was full. I asked loudly if anything in the store was made in America. She said no. For emphasis, I said again, so nothing in the store is made in America? She said no 🤷🏼‍♀️

Can someone in immigration law explain to me how this is legal?

None of this would be happening if Kamala were president.

🚨🚨The White House is pissed off about this ad so you know what to do, share it everywhere! ICE is disappearing people just because of the color of their skin! No Warrant! No Due Process! This is not who we are as Americans! #MAGAKidnappers want an all white America, fuck that‼️

SLOTKIN: Have you given the order to be able to shoot at unarmed protesters in any way? HEGSETH: What is that based on? SLOTKIN: It is based on Trump giving that order to your predecessor, who I give a lot of credit to bc he didn't accept the order. He has more guts & balls than you

It's important to understand the irreparable harm argument against deploying the national guard in California. Trump is taking essential personnel away from fighting fires and drug trafficking to guard federal buildings against no one. Immigrants aren't the danger. Trump is.

These ICE raids are Nazi/gestapo sh*t. Don't let anybody tell you otherwise! #MAGAKidnappers #USDemocracy

YES!!!!!! www.deadlinedetroit.com/articles/333... Deadline Detroit | Video: Michigan Sen. Elissa Slotkin Rips Pete Hegseth, Says His Predecessor Had 'More Guts and Balls Than You'

Illinois has enshrined protections to meet this very moment. In a time of increasing overreach and hateful rhetoric, it's more important than ever to reaffirm our commitment to the rights and dignity of the LGBTQ+ community. You have a home here always.

The term 'cost of living' should make you want to abolish capitalism.

Karen Bass: "It's felt in LA like we're part of a grand experiment. How far will the public tolerate the federal government intervening and seizing power from a governor? I think it's being tried out here."

Congress members have a legal right to conduct oversight at ICE facilities. This is the regime hiding its blatant abuses.

Gov Gavin Newsom’s TikTok page is 🔥

“Ask your Supreme Court Justice which medical procedure is right for you.”

A question I encourage folks to consider: What if no one is coming to save us? What if there is no opposition party? What if there are no good police? What if no other country is going to storm our beaches to liberate us? Then what will we do? What will you do?

Major Erica Vandal served 14 years, deployed to Afghanistan, and earned a Bronze Star. She led with honor—and was forced out because she’s transgender. “I do not have a single derogatory mark on my record.” Trump didn’t care. Bigotry mattered more than battlefield service.

Shout out to my fellow Harpo Marxists. Meeting at 8pm tonight.

I wrote this four days ago. Today, they arrested the NYC Comptroller.

They’re cranking up the propaganda machine again: claiming Brad Lander “unlawfully interfered” and that ICE is just “enforcing Trump’s policy.” Reality: Lander stood up for civil rights. ICE’s conduct reflects a deeply troubling use of federal power.

Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife. While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE. This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.

The most popular sport in Ireland by attendance is peil Ghaelach (pell RAY-lah*) = Gaelic football Another kind of football? What is this sport? See the next post to find out! * it’s actually “RAY-lahk” but as usual in Connacht, the “ch” sound is very soft 🇮🇪 #IrishWOTD

For Trump, a military conflict with Iran would distract from:  -Sinking poll numbers -A devastating (and unpopular) budget bill -Harmful trade wars  -Unleashing the military on American soil -Millions of people protesting his authoritarianism We must remain on high alert.

So devastating đź’”

This should be bigger news.

That's awesome! Thank you to those who marched poorly out of protest.

Hope you enjoyed this as much as I did. đź’™

To all disabled folk advocating and fighting right now… You’re amazing. But please also put your health and needs as a priority. It’s okay to have a bit of time out too if you need it.

There are widespread reports of ICE agents abducting people while masked, without warrants or identification. Due to recent events, we strongly advise: do not open your door or car for anyone you don’t know. That’s the message. No need to elaborate.

Holy hell, y’all. After dropping the so-called UK trade agreement paperwork, and watching UK PM Starmer scoop it all up, trump said the agreement was with the EU. Can you say, “Brexit” you demented imbecile? Omg.

Seems @senmikelee.bsky.social didn’t want to talk about his ugly tweets blaming Dems for the shooting of Dems in Minnesota

BREAKING: A federal judge reversed National Institutes of Health's terminations of hundreds of critical research grants that were canceled because of their alleged connection to disfavored topics, including diversity, equity, inclusion, and gender identity. This is a major win for public health.

They are creating a shithole country absolutely no one wants to visit or live in…thanks, MAGA.
