This is the way to stand up to these bullies! Respect ✊

#TAMPA folks I have free #Revolution2025 signs i will be handing out today at 3:00pm

BREAKING The City of Glendale, California — one of the most populous cities in Southern California — says it has terminated its contract with U.S. Homeland Security and ICE.

*taps the sign*

They are creating violence where there is none because they require violence to justify tightening their grip.

yes, well. we are americans and we consider infighting possibly the most important praxis of all

📌NOTE: Sending the Marines into ANY U.S. city would be the greatest, anti-American insult TO THE MARINES I have seen in my entire lifetime. 📌This is weak, disgusting and NOT THEIR MISSION. Be about time for retired Marines to start speaking up, because you KNOW you are better than this. -Navy guy

If your response to this video is, “That’s what I voted for”— Fuck you. Fuck you very much. You’re heartless.

This is why *none* of his nominees should have been approved by Dem senators. An absolute abomination.

Feels like a uniquely American brand of stupidity to try and mobilize troops for the battle of Home Depot

Newsom: The Secretary of Defense is now threatening to deploy active-duty Marines on American soil against its own citizens. This is deranged behavior.

“Tasted a little tear gas— tasted like fascism”

Ahem.

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple. Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

This kid rules

Nonviolent civil resistance works.

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)

I think these blue state ICE raids can be seen as the regime trying to conquer small-d democratic states since red states are in no way real democracies and therefore don’t require conquering

They’re not behaving as if they’re in a four-year term. They’re behaving as if they’re in an everlasting dictatorship. Are we all clear on this?

Something else in common…the descendants are still told they don’t belong. We should be united ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼

not enough said about how, by turning the national government against states on the basis of ordinary political disagreement, trump is undermining the idea that the union is worthwhile. www.cnn.com/2025/06/06/p...

solidarity with LA. fuck ICE.

A teacher breaks down after ICE causes multiple schools to lockdown during graduation ceremonies and parents to flee for their lives. Only the soulless aren’t hurting from what is happening in our country. This is affecting all of us.

I think our big problem is the Democratic party is decent at governing and terrible at culture war tactics, and the Republican party is terrible at governing and great at culture war tactics. And the media loves culture war stories.

We are no longer the leader of the free world. We are no longer a beacon of democracy and justice. We are no longer than land of opportunity. We are no longer a nation in which no one is above the law. Our myths about ourselves are killing us. What to do? My latest. open.substack.com/pub/davidrot...

Reminder that California subsidizes red states.

Wow. What a sign that criminal case against Abrego Garcia may be politically cooked up. "Schrader’s resignation was prompted by concerns that the case was being pursued for political reasons" Schrader spent 15 years in the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Nashville and was chief of the criminal division

I haven’t seen anyone else point this out and it’s EXTREMELY important:

This is not a trained officer

“Her lawyer’s in the bathroom.” Trump’s masked ICE Gestapo snatches a woman when her lawyer goes to the bathroom, then forcibly carries her into an elevator after she appears to faint.

If you're going insist that certain groups are going to have to accept a "reduction in their rights" then you're going to have accept the reaction you get to that may not necessarily come in the form of polite letter writing and debate.

Between the Elon Trump fallout and 30 percent of dead Russian bombers this is shaping up to be a pretty nice little week

81 years ago, America's bravest generation stormed the beaches of Normandy in hopes of freeing Europe from the clutches of a brutal authoritarian. Today, we face authoritarianism on our shores. We owe it to ourselves, our country, and that great generation to fight for freedom here at home.

What if putting the stupidest people in charge was a mistake?
