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

If hate had a face …

The situation in DTLA to which 700 Marines have been deployed is a couple dozen interfaith clergypersons leading a small crowd in prayer.

Listen. This is real now.
You are stepping into something that can hurt you. The people in charge are afraid of losing control, and they will use every tool they have to keep it. substack.com/@tomjoad3/no...

This is peaceful protesting while using free speech. Well done to keep cool. Whats also noticeable thats good? The National Guard there seem to be calm and I'm sure they arent looking forward to being there. If you give the National Guard members space, they'll not be hostile while protesting

Border Patrol is acting like the president’s personal police force. You would think the National Rifle Association and all those anti-government gun-rights groups would be concerned. They’re not. The constitution and individual liberty were never their true concern.

Update: my friend was quoted by @thecity.nyc as he waited to find out what happened. It's two days later and he has no idea where his client is. She was detained on Wednesday morning at a check-in. She's not in the ICE Detainee Locator, and when he's called ICE they refuse to tell him where she is.

Dear MSM, instead of focusing on the fact of ‘both men have a lot to lose’ focus on the innocent victims of their incompetence & corruption. There are lives in the balance that matter, their stories matter, more so than drug-addicted billionaires. P.S, they are also playing you.

New GOP slogan just dropped.

A case for the horror of Trump’s military parade being far worse than we’re describing it. In retrospect, it could be called the ceremonial start of U.S. fascism. 🥺 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

To every member of the LGBTQ Community in Delaware and across the country, Happy Pride Month! As we are reminded how fragile the progress we’ve made is, I’ll always stand with you in the fight for equality.

Happy pride month

HOLD UP. Are you telling us that the President of the United States is refusing regular briefings about threats to the country so his minions are creating a briefing TV show just for him? WHAT THE HELL? www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

I’m going to be super clear. No child should be zip tied. Ever! Fuck ICE for traumatizing children. This is child abuse. Every agent that abuses children this way belongs in prison. There’s no justification for this depraved behavior #UnmaskICE www.tpr.org/border-immig...

This has to stop. Has to.

Translation: A junkie and drug addict has been put in charge of dismantling the federal government. What could possibly go wrong?

Perhaps he'd like TOFU Trump better? Trump Obviously Fucks Up Thank you for your attention to this matter.

60% of American households can’t afford a minimal quality of life. Meanwhile, the 19 richest households saw their wealth increase by $1 trillion in 2024 — the biggest one-year increase ever. Our problem isn't a lack of resources. Our problem is ever-expanding inequality.

“I was hungry” and you cut SNAP. “I was thirsty” and you cut funding to ensure clean water. “I was sick” and you cut medicaid. “I was a stranger” and you deported me. “I was in prison” and you just left me there to rot. “Whatever you do to the least of these, you do unto me.”-Jesus

GOP is the Oligarch Party

“ Imagine if I had done any of this”. Barack Obama. It’s UNIMAGINABLE ‼️ Who are we as a country?
