This is a superb speech by @governor.ca.gov just now. Clear. Strong. Simple. Direct. Angry—in a way that appeals to the best in people, not the worst. Seven plus minutes of the most effective rhetoric in response to Trump. This is how you want a leader to talk. www.youtube.com/watch?v=linJ...

BREAKING: It appears that ICE may have conducted a hit and Run in Los Angeles in the last hour. krassencast.com/p/breaking-a...

This is good advice!

Enjoy your canned vegetables for Thanksgiving, people. This is only going to get worse.

Right now there are more U.S. troops deployed to Los Angeles than there are to Syria and Iraq combined.

Double.

They've been trying to numb us for a long time. Fascism. Oppression. Genocide. All on display. They want us desensitized, to think it's just the way the world works when deep down we know it is unnatural. Don't let them take away the feeling from you. It's uncomfortable because you're human.

From firing on reporters to detaining them on-air, we’re seeing new levels of intimidation leveled at members of the press trying to hold this administration to account. It’s totally unacceptable.

Faith leaders and a crowd are gathered at the Federal Building right now. Video taken by a 50501 organizer on the ground. @50501movement.bsky.social

Turns out, the “Don’t Tread On Me” states’ rights gang is rather partial to heavy treading.

Veteran reminds active duty Marines to uphold the standard and refuse any illegal order to harm US civilians. #NoKings

After the main NYC anti-ICE protest dispersed, a few hundred — mostly younger people — broke off and marched back to federal plaza. The NYPD started picking them off, but they kept demonstrating. They're still there. The kids are tireless. A couple of the violent arrests:

ABC News has cut ties with its senior national correspondent Terry Moran after he posted that Stephen Miller is a “world-class hater” who “eats his hate.” Kudos to Moran for having the courage to speak the truth — and screw ABC News for not standing behind him and backing his right to free speech.

🤬😡🤬 💙✊💙✌️💙🦋

RFK Jr. wants to Make America Healthy Again. But he's ignoring the country's leading cause of preventable deaths: smoking.

Life With Our Kamala would be So Beautiful and Stable NOW....

ICE raided a kids birthday party.

Maddow: I also feel like there’s not very much about that that I don’t understand. Like, it’s the same everywhere. This is blond Berlusconi, you know what I mean? This is inarticulate Viktor Orbán, right? These guys are all the same. The authoritarian playbook is the same everywhere

Thousands of people marching through Lower Manhattan now demanding ICE get out of New York City.

You can't call immigrants lazy moochers looking for government handouts and then round them up at Home Depots where you know they are looking for work. You can't say immigrants don't follow the rules and then round them up in courthouses where they are following the rules. Get your lies straight.

Now we know why Whisky Pete wasn't fired for incompetence. Willingness to commit crimes is the only reason he still has a job. Fuck every senator who confirmed this loser

Today Speaker, Mike Johnson called for vigilante violence against California Governor Gavin Newsom.

THIS IS HOW YOU STOP #TACO FASCISM!

He doesn't get to rewrite history when the internet archived every word—and it’s holding the receipts.

Assaulted. Injured. Arrested. Hospitalized. Mr Huerta, a citizen, exercised his 1st Amendment rights.

Said agents should be arrested for impersonating officers and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Downtown LA tonight: No riots, but some will see this and still say, “That’s what I voted for” instead of “Love thy neighbor.”

she’s got a point

Everything Chump touches Either Dies or goes to Prison.....

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.

Of course she WON!! The current Trumpster fire has already alluded to it.

He wants unrest. He wants a civil war. He wants to be able to rule by military decree. And he is arranging things to get it.

Ah yes, nothing says “freedom” like unmarked troops patrolling American cities on a president’s whim. But sure, tell me again how he's the law-and-order guy—because nothing screams democracy like cosplay fascism in fatigues. 1930s Germany called. It wants its playbook back.

But please, PLEASE don't call them "The Gestapo" as it hurts their delicate feelings.

This is not the face of a man who is well.

👏👏👏

🆘 Donald Trump is: ✅ WEAK ✅ RACIST ✅ SCARED ✅ BIGOTED ✅ HATEFUL ✅ CRIMINAL ✅ IGNORANT ✅ SOCIOPATHIC ✅ ANTI-AMERICAN Stand up to fascism by protesting peacefully. Exercise your first amendment right and speak out against this administration. We want NO kings in America!

This is on all the Senators who turned a blind eye and voted to confirm. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/09/h...

Trump said he would deport 11 million people and I guess his voters couldn’t visualize what that would look like? That’s the same amount of people who live in Iowa and Nebraska and Kansas and Arkansas combined…
