ICE agents intentionally started the violence in LA.

Bondi deserves prison far more than Garcia.

I don’t talk about it too much, because I don’t want to come across as saleswoman, but I’m the Executive Director of Missouri. Last year, our grassroots members gave almost $230,000 to down-ballot Democratic candidates in Missouri alone. This is how we will make change. Join us! bluemissouri.org

@governor.ca.gov I wish you would please share on Bluesky as well. Many people are not on X (understandably) Thank you

LFG💪🏽💯

The folks hollering about “family values” are out here tearing families apart with unlawful ICE raids, militarized police, & the weaponization of government. All while ripping away food & healthcare from working-class families. Are the family values in the room with us?

“This isn't law and order. This isn't making our country safer or fixing our border. And it isn't leadership.”

We will never stop fighting for you babies, I promise

The President is trampling the 1st Amendment rights of peaceful protesters in L.A. with the intent to escalate and “send troops everywhere.”

This is the way to stand up to these bullies! Respect ✊

I never, ever want to hear another god damn word about state’s rights…

Sure did!!!

👏👏👏👏

Downtown Los Angeles Free David Huerta rally just starting. Do not fuck with the unions, folks.

This is a pretty important point!

The correct way to connect the authoritarian presence in LA and the Big Beautiful Bill is that the bill gives the government the resources to do this in dozens of cities at once. So if you don't like what's happening in LA, it's coming to your town if the bill passes.

👏👏👏

She was right.

I ran an experiment, simultaneously posting articles on Bluesky and X, and then testing to see how many people actually clicked and read them. The numbers on Bluesky are higher, both because the X algorithm downranks journalism, and because Bluesky attracts readers, not just shitposters.

EXCLUSIVE: ActBlue is firing back at a House GOP investigation into its workings. The Dem online fundraising platform says the probe appears to be an unconstitutional abuse of power to help the White House.

Be warned: attacking unions is a hallmark of fascism. https://www.commondreams.org/news/david-huerta-arrested

Marine veterans are speaking out against the troop deployment in Los Angeles. Across the country, they’re taking down their American flags that have flown in front of their homes for years. Remember, we have friends everywhere.

Truth-tellers, not rioters. Protect these two men at all costs. “You feel tough with your assault rifles and your sticks. You should be standing here with us. You’re on the wrong side of history.” “John Lewis said make good trouble… that means make trouble on behalf of democracy.”

She is a tourist from Chile, and these cops left her teenage daughter on the streets of New York City alone. Why anybody would come to this country right now blows my mind.

How on earth can this country still hold the World Cup and Olympics next year??

What we’re seeing in L.A. isn’t an insurrection—so why federalize the National Guard? Why the threat of using the U.S. military against civilians? We’re not there yet—but we’re closer than we think. Watch this Project 2025 reminder until the end. Then view everything happening through that lens.

As the tanks roll into DC, who else is getting ready for Obama Appreciation Day on June 14th??? Over 1600 planned events nationwide 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 #nokingsday #mobilize.us #indivisible #50501

Breaking: ABC News says senior national correspondent Terry Moran "has been suspended pending further evaluation." This since-deleted tweet is the reason for the suspension:

Trump’s troops are literally unloading ammunition in LA in preparation for the MAGA Civil War they’re starting tonight. (Note the Home Depot parking lot where the “riot” is supposedly happening is empty when they pan over to it).

If ICE agents have families who haven’t convinced them to get out of the child snatching profession, then they can get bent too.

Better safe than sorry… 🚨Heavy ICE Presence Expected in Los Angeles on Sunday. A bilingual warning is being shared with the community — including areas to avoid. Stay alert. Protect each other. Know your rights.

Veteran NFL WR Chris Conley, who most recently played for the 49ers, has decided to retire after 10 seasons to follow his dream, his agent, Jonathan Perzley. Conley is heading to film school back at UGA to pursue dreams of being a filmmaker. So cool. 🎥.

"So here's the plan -- we impose massive tariffs on the nations that sell us food." "Hmm." "But it's OK, because we just rely more on states like California that grow a lot of the same things." "Oh, I guess that ..." "And then we go to war with California."

The idea that federal agents can't even be referenced by codenames is preposterous. Even if the identity of a federal agent needs secrecy, their actions must be recorded, reviewable, and presentable as evidence by defendants in court.

Here are some texts I got from an immigration lawyer friend of mine. Shared with permission. Some of the bleakest shit I’ve ever heard.

Pete Hesgeth — who wants to rename the Navy ship that honors Medgar Evers, a WWII veteran who landed on Omaha Beach — is using that same beach for a photo op in which he promises we will “never forget” the veterans there. What an unbelievable asshole.

The Big Fucked Up Bill, is NOT a spending bill. It’s a government restructuring bill, that consolidates power in the executive, defunds critical services to the point of absurdity, removes the power of our courts to enforce the law and dramatically curtails voting rights. It’s Project 2025
