White flight ☠️😂

The national security implications of DOGE was something @profsaunders.bsky.social and I worried about from the start www.foreignaffairs.com/united-state... and our worries should grow given how entrenched Musk’s people are in the systems.

At the ICE raid and subsequent community resistance in Paramount, California this morning, this skater kid ate dozens of munitions from Border Patrol agents, walked away slowly and flipped them off.

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.

ICE agents better start reading up on the Nuremberg trials. Because when we get to the other side of this, and we will, "I was just following orders" ain't gonna cut it.

Still LA, ICE is gathered again to start another operation after tear gassing civilians for hours at Paramount. A massive ICE presence stands across the street from civilians. This is live right now.

ICYMI — ICE DIRECTOR: “These are real people with real families you’re hurting.” He says this not about immigrants… but about ICE agents. A record-setting lack of self-awareness.

The whole Dems wanna court Elon myth is like 100% based on one comment from Ro Khanna. And even he now disavows it. Quite literally fake news.

If you're faced with a line of riot cops holding shields look for the left handed cops. Their shield and the shield of the person to their right makes a great set of double doors. Just pull them open

File this one under things that Latinos for Trump could've figured out a lot sooner, and not voted for this BECAUSE THEY DID VOTE FOR IT. 🤦🏻‍♂️

#Gutfeld is spewing lies. Remember when there were consequences for lying? Remember when journalists were held to a standard?

They think we’re all just laying around - these aren’t entitlements. Mike Collins is the actual parasite

That’s what happens when you let amateur, entitled brats/teens run the national comms. Sit down Junior and learn how to really do the job. #BidenCommsTeam was soooo much better than you little turds.

#fuckstephenmiller Or if you’re like Elon, just fuck his wife.

Free David Huerta and all of the innocent people unjustly detained, arrested, and brutalized in these purely political raids meant to terrorize our City. We will not sit quietly. We will fight for each other. We are all LA.

This is what republicans and The Orange shit stain call “loving” Don’t dish it out MAGAts if you can’t take it.

Pete Hesgeth — who wants to rename the Navy ship that honors Medgar Evers, a WWII veteran who landed on Omaha Beach — is using that same beach for a photo op in which he promises we will “never forget” the veterans there. What an unbelievable asshole.

West Virginia is warning that women who have a miscarriage could be charged with a crime unless they contact local police. Every woman in WV should call 911 every time they have a period. Gum up the system with malicious compliance. www.cnn.com/2025/06/06/h...

Exactly.

HAPPENING NOW: Protesters march outside Fox News Headquarters in Washington, D.C. for a rally against the network and the corrupt Trump administration (Video: Ford Fischer)

bluesky needs to extend its character limit so i can add more Ls to the lolllllll required here

Told ya. They had inside help

"It's really hard to fathom that the guy making my pizza for 25 years is a gangster and a terrorist, and the person who shows up in an unmarked car wearing a mask and body armor comes to take him away is somehow the good guy” www.wnep.com/article/news...

@cbsnews.com LA. If they are staging they are planning more. Don’t lose the story in your effort to bend over backwards and twist yourself into a pretzel to suck up to ICE
