The Constitution guarantees due process and freedom of expression. It’s good Mahmoud Khalil has been released on bail. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/20/n...

Mayor Karen Bass standing on business🔥 His name is Senator ALEX Padilla.

If you think it can’t happen here, remember that it already did. In 1942 soldiers came with rifles to our home and ordered us out. They put us in internment camps. Most of us were citizens.

“ICE in just a few weeks has transformed itself into the closest thing that the US has ever had to a ‘secret police,’ with more seemingly culturally in common with the Klan nightriders of Reconstruction than their federal agency brethren like the FBI or ATF.” @garrettgraff.bsky.social

Michael Pham fled Vietnam at the age of 13. He was named bishop of San Diego a month ago. Today, he stood watch at a courthouse: ICE agents were “standing there covered with masks as we walked toward the courtroom. Eventually the agents scattered and went away” timesofsandiego.com/life/2025/06...

We are facing a serious threat to democracy, law, and liberty. The abuse of prosecutorial power to intimidate, investigate, and detain political opponents is upon us. It is a constitutional crisis. I will keep speaking out until public outrage overflows. I just hope it’s not too little, too late.

It is a glaring pattern. Rather like he'll make a decision in "2 weeks."

SAY IT PLAIN: Federal “ICE officers” should not be anonymous. And this shouldn’t be a controversial thing to say.

👀

Mahmoud Khalil is free.

I love this. You’ll probably love it too. These J6 bounty hunter punks cosplaying as ICE agents think they have the upperhand everywhere. Drunk on power, but nope. They’re cowards.

Not welcome here. #JDVance

Hi @jdvance...bye @jdvance...

Brad has been released and the crowd breaks into a chant of “Free them all.”

Nicolle is reporting that Senator Lee removed his post about the shootings in Minnesota. Thank you, Sen. Tina Smith, for confronting him.

Please call ICE and DHS Trump’s Secret Police. Because that’s what they are. No ID, no uniforms, no names, no warrants, no legal authority to grab people. They are Secret Police #Fascists

Time for a political seismic upheaval! We have to keep marching. Stay in the streets. Be loud! Show up and vote! Don’t bend the knee. Make all elected Republicans lives pure hell when seen in public places. Get in good trouble! Want better? Vote better! #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1

People are waking up. Or maybe the awake are finally getting louder. Millions marched in No Kings rallies. Now thousands protest ICE for arresting NYC Comptroller Brad Lander. Anarchy is in our blood. Our ancestors resisted. So will we. #Resist

🚦 LANDER DID NOT ASSAULT ICE 🚦 We all saw the VIDEO. This DID NOT HAPPEN. This is a LIE. 😳 🚩 #LiesFascistsTell 👨‍✈️ ☠️ 🚔

At a time when we desperately need to bring down the temperature, the president of the United States is deliberately turning up the heat. His thirst for chaos and division is dangerous and deeply un-American.

Prediction: Humiliated his lame birthday parade, Trump will try to bury it with something guaranteed to absorb all attention come tomorrow. Will it be: - Provocative move it the Middle East - Arrest of a political opponent - Stepped up attack on Harvard - Incitement of violence - Other?

WAIT…does Mr. LoserParadePerv have his flag upside down?

On the left, Jesse Watters denouncing Comey for saying Trump should be 86’d and claiming it was a death threat. On the right, Jesse Watters describing Terry Moran’s firing from ABC as him being… 86’d. To misquote a line from the right, you don’t hate [Fox] enough.

PLEASE read TODAY’s Lucian Truscott’s Substack to see trump & his hitler, Steven Miller’s plan: open.substack.com/pub/luciantr...

F47’s has spent 29 million in two days with this stunt of his! Imagine what 29 million could do to help with Veteran Sevices? The billions he and his cabnient has spent in three months could help provide meals for every school child in America every day! Health insurance for Americans! Imagine?

CNN’s Jason Carroll was zip-tied and escorted away—for reporting the news. But they claimed he wasn’t under arrest? Why are they shooting rubber bullets at and silencing journalists? We still have a First Amendment.

This is important. And while I'm not from LA, I am from Hawaii, so let me emphasize this message the best way I know how.

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.

NIH scientists and staffers are speaking out, and standing up to dangerous cuts. Join me in supporting them at www.standupforscience.net/bethesda-dec... #publichealth #NIH

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?

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

More friendly advice from your mortal enemies.

I like how Bluesky is simultaneously too small to be a viable website and yet such a cavernous black hole that us being here ruins Twitter for everyone over there

👏👏👏

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

Bucks County #PA

I'll just note that this is not just some Republican voter. This is a Florida state senator. She doesn't get to do the "nobody coulda knowed" routine.

UPDATE: David Huerta was just released from custody!

We rallied to demand the release of David Huerta, President of @seiuca.bsky.social & SEIU-USWW, who was assaulted + arrested standing up for immigrants' rights. He's out now but faces an unjust charge. Trump knows workers' organizing is a threat to the fear he relies on www.wusa9.com/article/news...

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.

If your response to this video is, “That’s what I voted for”— Fuck you. Fuck you very much. You’re heartless.
