Okay so law enforcement IS capable of massing on elementary schools to snatch up children, just not when there’s an active shooter. Got it.

“This could poll well with midterm swing voters in Ohio” I remark sagely as I watch a fourth grader get bundled into an unmarked van at recess by armed and masked agents of the state.

He’s disappearing innocent people off of our streets and ordering the military onto our streets. He does not give a damn about the rule of law. He is the very tyrant our founding generation rose up against 249 yrs ago. It’s time for the American people to rise up again.

If your boss tells you to lie to teachers, hide your identity, and steal 1st graders from their schools you have a bad job and an evil boss and you should say no

Fight the Empire.

I’m not sure why Gavin Newsome doesn’t activate the rest of his army guard to prevent the president from it or force him to overrule it…. Then fight on the second amendment guaranteeing a state a right to a militia. How can a state have a militia if the president can simply federalize it

Our Founding Fathers would have had a word for calling up a battalion of Marines for regular domestic law enforcement: tyranny.

I remember when right wingers were convinced Obama was invading Texas because there was an army training exercise planned. They seen quiet now.

UPDATE: David Huerta was just released from custody!

If I was a democratic comms person, I would get on TV and say simply: people are in the streets because the Trump administration lied. They said they were going to deport violent criminals to make America safer, but instead they're deporting ordinary working families, making America less safe.

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
