This is a goddamn outrage. Krisiti Noem and her coterie of goons are going to get people—and maybe even elected officials—killed. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Goldman: "These are people doing in the right way, who are nonviolent, noncriminal, and they're getting arrested. So what message does that send? Obviously it sends the message, 'Go further underground. Don't appear in court. Don't pay your taxes' ... that's just going to make the public less safe."

Our CEO @skyeperryman.bsky.social delivered a message to the House Oversight Committee: "The American people are in danger and our democracy is in crisis."

Man ‘fitting the general description’ of someone wanted by ICE arrested at courthouse. It turned out to be a US Marshal

Good one 👇⚖️👀

"Many of the students facing discipline and marginalization are themselves Jewish. They don’t need protection from their own political views – they need protection from institutions that would force them to choose between their Jewish identity and their political conscience."

a racist chud gets jealous of a person of african descent and tries to being the force of the state against them, many such cases www.nytimes.com/2025/06/10/w...

Trump has created & manufactured violence in LA to distract from the #BigUglyBill that will strip 16 million Americans of their health care. @kamlager-dove.house.gov’s #CupOfJoe speaks truth to power. Tell your senators to #KillTheBill! (202) 224-3121

Gov. Pritzker: “It's wrong to deploy the National Guard and active duty Marines into an American city over the objection of local law enforcement, just to inflame a situation and create a crisis.”

Republicans are rushing through a bill to “defund” Planned Parenthood, which would devastate access to basic reproductive health services like birth control, cancer screenings, STI testing, abortion, and more. We won’t let the GOP get away with it. Contact your senators: ppact.io/care #IFightForPP

It's amazing how when people disagree with a Billionaire, somehow the place they're in is a real echo-chamber. Alternatively when they all agree with the billionaire, the place they're in is a think tank full of good ideas.

They rolled up at car washes in my district and violently kidnapped two dozen people. One didn’t even work at the car wash and was just profiled while getting his car cleaned with his children. Today I joined the devastated families and our traumatized community.

Gee, who woulda thunk that loosening gun laws would lead to more gun deaths? 🤔 #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #RepublicansAreDestroyingAmerica www.nytimes.com/2025/06/09/h...

Fuck every one of the active duty soldiers that cheered for the POS president and the POS Secretary of Defense. Fuck all of them. I am ashamed of the #82ndAirborne #NoKings

Keeping tabs on MAGA’s perception of the situation in LA and they are absolutely convinced the city is aflame and on the brink of total collapse. This altered reality legitimizes incredible violence and is so reminiscent of disinformation that had fueled sectarian violence.

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

When Los Angeles actually *was* burning down six months ago, these people didn't give a damn about us. Now they're spreading fake AI videos showing LA burning

Finally CNN reports the truth!!

Tanks in DC Troops in LA. A military parade on his birthday. Trump is done pretending. This is what authoritarianism looks like in America. My latest on why we must speak out now — before silence becomes complicity. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/authoritar...

Double.

My kitten is the sure proof way to stop traffic on Bluesky! She's stopping traffic to let you know that we are hoping to finish up our GoFundMe for our victim of domestic violence and of the LA fires, so that we can relocate her within the next two weeks! Chip in $20, $35, $50, $100 or more below:

Durbin to Bhattacharya: "I can't understand it. I disagree w/ this admin on so many things. But this is the one that really gets to me personally. To think this nation would walk away from medical research. For God's sake...cancer, your budget requests a 38% cut to the National Cancer Institute"

and 3,000,000/ day for Fat Loaf to golf and $45,000,000 for his birthday "parade"

At Fort Bragg, Donald Trump crossed a dangerous line. Where are the generals who should be speaking up in defense of the military's rules and traditions, asks @RadioFreeTom?

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.

America’s Generals are terrified. They are cowed. They seem unlikely to hold the line and live up to their oaths to serve the U.S. Constitution. Trump violated the law (the Hatch Act) conducting a political rally at Fort Bragg, rousing the troops to cheer his slogans but the Generals stay silent.

Never forget that money and fascism is more important to them than the sexual exploitation of children

Billionaire Walmart heiress Christy Walton is paying for a full page ad in the New York Times entitled ‘No Kings’ and MAGA are now calling to boycott Walmart. This is funny AF. 🤣

It sure would be a shame if more people reserved tickets for Baby Huey’s parade and then were unable to attend. Remember the first inauguration? events.america250.org/events/250th...

More scare tactics to stop people from exercising their First Amendment rights. The governor forgets you don't mess with Texas. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott to deploy National Guard across the state due to protests www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Gavin Newsom - If some of us can be snatched off the streets without a warrant, based only on suspicion or skin color, then none of us are safe. Authoritarian regimes begin by targeting people who are least able to defend themselves. #cdnpoli

🚨🚨🚨 I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x convicted felon & adjudicated rapist Trump did 🚨🚨🚨

Crowds at the LA Football Club chanting Fuck ICE! Music to my ears!

An apology. Yesterday, I suggested on this site that sooner or later, Reform's new chairman, David Bull, would make an absolute turnip of himself. I was wrong. There was no "later" to it.

The Secretary of the Army refers to the US Army after Trump’s speech as “HIS Army.”

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

you know how people in Los Angeles have a right to object to an invading military force? i invite you to consider what other communities around the world might also have the right to object to the same thing

Cartoon by @adamzyglis.bsky.social. Tear gaslighting…

Los Angeles population is roughly 4M+ people. It’s a massive city, folks. The combined 4700 National Guard and Marines have been sent to about a 3-block area to aggressively eat lunch and watch peaceful protestors sing and dance. 👇🏽 💃🏽🎶🕺🏼 So now you know. Keep lifting the veil, LA fam!

This Marine took an oath to the Constitution 👇👇👇👇👇

Man, fuck this guy. What a disappointment.

Over300 UK Foreign Office employees told to resign for opposing genocide The employees signed a joint letter criticising the Britishgovt complicity in the Gaza genocide.The foreign office responded by urging them to leave their positions and doubled down on their support of Israel’s genocide in Gaza

Not a doctor. Not a scientist. No. A longtime heroin addict and current steroid enthusiast who perjured himself in confirmation hearings in order to pursue a twisted agenda that will kill more Americans than Osama Bin Laden.

WTF…
