NEW: Records of 911 and EMS responses to calls from ICE detention centers show a surge in emergencies the facilities are unequipped to handle, including suicide attempts, severe pregnancy complications, and alleged sexual assaults by staff. This is by @dmehro.bsky.social and @dell.bsky.social

🔴 Russia is using a deadly new tactic: launching drones at night, then delaying missile strikes until civilians leave shelters. Ukraine warns this strategy is designed to maximize casualties.

EVERY THING ON THIS LIST. Jfc

Holy fuck!!

Please read and share this statement from Sophie and Colin Hortman, children of Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark. (via WCCO reporter Caroline Cummings on X)

Stay classy, San Diego. #NoKings

I know there's a lot going on, but the Secretary of Homeland Security declaring that federal troops are in California and Los Angeles to "liberate" the state and city from its duly-elected leaders really is a fourteen-alarm fire.

Netanyahu Calls Iran Strikes Necessary To Prevent War He Just Started theonion.com/netanyahu-ca...

We will hold the Trump Administration accountable for the assault against Senator Padilla. We are here holding the line and fighting back — for every person in this country. For our democracy.

I cannot state this enough… but coming after Californians was a bad call. We won’t be silenced and we won’t be bullied

As a side note, this is why many of us have criticized the Gaza campaign. In one night, Israel hit Iran’s air defenses, leadership, top scientists, *and* damaged nuclear sites. They’re elite—and precise—when they want to be.

California national guard troops and marines deployed to LA to help restore order have told friends and family members they are deeply unhappy about the assignment and worry their only meaningful role will be as pawns in a political battle they don't want to join. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

De-escalation tips from @indivisible.org

In ten years, the estimated value of unpaid care across England and Wales has increased by 29%, reaching ÂŁ162 billion annually.

Israel can take out an Iranian commander 1000km away with a drone missile through a single bedroom wall, without any other damage. But to target a Hamas leader a few kilometres away, they need to raze whole neighborhoods to the ground. Is it obvious yet?

see what you need to understand is that they’re coming hard at california bc if they can take us down then it tells the smaller states there’s no point in fighting. we’re the bellwether. that’s why it’s so important we stop this shit NOW.

Such a sweet smile.

Full video of Senator Alex Padilla being arrested for asking Kristi Noem some questions at her press conference in L.A. News article in the comments.

At some point we're going to have to stop asking "when is (insert name) going to step up and say he's gone to far" and realize that maybe they are ok with the president's actions. We must realize that no one is going to swoop in and "save" us, it has to be us... we the people. Good morning

What they aren’t showing on Fox News

It can happen here. It is happening here.

In case you need a reminder of what actual riots look like: in the Northern Ireland city of Ballymena, where anti-immigrant thugs are torching the houses of migrants and attacking police because two 14 year-old Romanian boys were charged with sexual assault. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Trump’s campaign-like rally at Fort Bragg was a carefully styled event optimized for a national broadcast, right down to the weight and political allegiances of the soldiers allowed to appear on camera.

We feed you. They hunt us.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

Correct

This is the spirit of Los Angeles. This is California. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. #FreeDavidEndRaids

To better prepare for this violent insurrection, Marines and the National Guard are being taught how to line dance.

This stuff doesn’t look very protect-and-serve-y

Senator Ted Cruz posted a dramatic video of LAPD cars on fire with the caption “this… is… not… peaceful.” What he didn’t mention? The footage was from 2020, not 2025. His post on X falsely implied it was current, part of a broader effort to spread lies and manufacture a crisis.

“What are all of those keys on your keyring for, girl?” This one’s for my home, this one’s for my car, and the rest of them are for lacing through my fingers for protection when I’m walking alone.

ICE crossed a line in LA

This… I remember’92 LAPD love a conflict, but Miller is just begging to use any excuse

Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are breaking the law by using U.S. troops against American citizens. Know your rights, know these conditions, and other's crimes. www.brennancenter.org/our-work/res...

When the LA police says you are overreaching, you are overreaching.

This is f*cked up! Stories of ICE luring immigrants to hearings just to arrest them keep coming—now they’re going after kids. Martir Garcia Lara, a fourth grader from Southern California, went to a hearing in Houston with his dad. Instead of an update, they were both detained and separated by ICE.

think Kanye trying to intervene and being all noooooo my favourite boys are fighting </3 may genuinely be the best possible twat cherry on the cunt cake

Such beauty in life

Men are too emotional to use social media
