I truly believe part of the reason this is happening in LA right now is because they want to scare us into not protesting for no Kings day. DT is actually worried he’s gonna lose the news cycle so he wants to make sure everyone is too scared. 1/2

boundless admiration for the people out in the streets in LA right now. just incredible. if you've made a single ICE agent even a little bit more afraid, it's done a universe of good

Undocumented immigrants pay almost $100 billion in taxes each year. The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes each year. Stop pretending that immigrants are the ones taking advantage of taxpayers.

Instead of working tirelessly to take away our Medicare Medicaid and Social Security, shouldn’t Congress be investigating why the President gave a “big time drug addict” the keys to the US government?

Abolish the police Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

AIDS Memorial Quilt on display October 11-13 1996 on the National Mall in Washington D.C. Let us never forget.

VETERAN: “This is why they can’t wear masks. Because people like this exist… if you want to snatch people off the streets, do it in uniform, and show your damn face.” (@MarshaBlackburn’s Secret Police bill criminalizes transparency and threatens 5 years for naming an ICE agent)

The images today are chilling. Tanks being moved into DC while ICE drives through protesters and barricades.

Well, I hope all the people who hated the phrase defund the police are big fans of getting teargassed

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.

Fuck ICE. Love you, Los Angeles.

the people in LA putting their safety on the line right now to try and stop ICE are the bravest people we have got

Trying and failing to come up with the right words to describe what we are witnessing unfold in LA right now. Your resistance is here, support them

ICE is the January 6 insurrectionists all over again. Only instead of attacking law enforcement, they are pretending to *be* law enforcement. And instead of just terrorizing at the Capitol, they are doing it EVERYWHERE.

The conditions that have led to what’s happening in the US today exist in democracies around the world. They are an inevitable outcome of our collective failure to adapt to fundamental changes in the information ecosystem on which our democracies were originally built.

The situation in Los Angeles is about to plunge us into a national emergency, except the people that normally solve national emergencies are the ones creating it.

Reminder that tear gas is a chemical weapon that is illegal to deploy in warfare, yet cops are allowed to blanket civilians in clouds of the stuff.

“Defund the police” was in fact a great slogan.

Silence Is Complicity Straighten your spine Speak & live your truth

People trying to protect their neighbors are not the problem. The fact that some of you are thinking that way reflects a level of psychological capture & submission to fascism that you should interrogate. If they want an "excuse" to do something, they'll create one. The good guys aren't the problem.

He would have machine gunned the Boston Tea Party.

What the fuck is the point of paying money to a police department if they won’t protect people from hostile masked kidnappers?

L.A. is a Mexican-American city. The majority of the population is made up of racial and ethnic minorities. We are all happy living together and really do not want to see our friends, neighbors and families being terrorized by federal robo-cops. This is bullshit.

The police don’t protect people. The police protect power. That’s why we didn’t want to militarize them.

Solidarity with LA. Y'all don't deserve this.

i would've done the same thing lmao

Two babies have died from whooping cough in Kentucky. Neither they nor their parents had been vaccinated. The current whooping cough outbreak in the U.S. hasn’t grabbed the media spotlight as much as measles has, but it’s important to update your vaccination if you’re going to be around babies.

Now everyone will go look up the book and it will make NY Times. #sighs #booksky #writingcommunity

Chief of Nashville, criminal division resigns over decision to charge Abrego Garcia. That’s a big story and the details will likely be very damning for the administration.

And who they didn't approve of

Elon threatening to just leave people on the ISS is making a pretty good case for why you nationalize your space program!

it’s funny that they’re both on their own personal websites posting their little posts

Greta Thunberg. Clear as ever. www.democracynow.org/2025/6/4/gre...

As I predicted, we are now entering an era where we cannot necessarily trust data coming from the federal govt on things like inflation. Something to watch VERY closely for GDP, unemployment, everything. www.wsj.com/economy/cpi-...

Republicans in Congress are trying to rip away health care from millions of Americans unless people "prove that they matter." Do billionaires need to prove they matter to get trillions in tax breaks? Or just babies, new moms, and seniors in nursing homes in need of health care?

PRIDE MONTH DOUBLE RAINBOW IN CHICAGO HOLY SHIT

if the wheels had come off this thing any faster it'd be a Cybertruck

This is a big day for couples that are one super online person and one normal
