When the Nazis called love a weakness, Titus Brandsma didn’t flinch. He honored St. Boniface, defended the truth, and bore the cost. Read his bold words from the 1939 pilgrimage to Fulda. 🔗 https://twp.ai/Immxvd #StBoniface #StTitusBrandsma

When you have the media saying it feels like the United States military is on the streets and flash bangs are being thrown into civilians on the streets for no reason it should be clear they want to terrorize us and make us submit it’s not about rule of law it’s about domination and power.

May they be protected. May their voices shatter the walls. May all the saints and bodhisattvas be with them.

Gavin Newsom’s very bad day.

A notable omission here is that he trades literally hundreds of millions of dollars of stocks.

Knowing how smart parrots are, I'm not surprised by this, but I love it nonetheless. @sandyhorne.bsky.social, have you ever witnessed this behavior in Sydney or Brisbane (or anywhere)? www.nytimes.com/2025/06/03/s...

One of the best things about Posting is you never know what obscure preoccupations your followers have. There will be a guy who has followed you for years and never said anything but then one day you disparage applesauce and he activates like a sleeper agent and dedicates his life to destroying you

SCOTUS just gave DOGE the green light to access your sensitive personal information, including Social Security numbers, medical records, and financial data. It’s shameful. www.nbcnews.com/politics/sup...

Graffiti at the loading dock of the Metropolitan Detention Center in Los Angeles right now, where clashes have erupted in protest of today's ICE raid, reading "Dead pigs" and "Fuck ICE" with a circle A—the universal symbol for anarchism, the movement against all forms of domination and oppression.

THIS

Federal immigration authorities carried out enforcement activities at businesses across Los Angeles on Friday, prompting clashes outside at least one location as authorities threw flash bangs to try to disperse a crowd that had gathered in protest.

A much larger crowd is now marching around the Federal Detention center with signs that read Abolish ICE

Perhaps it’s time to rethink what constitutes horror when reality has become horrific.

Let’s be clear: ICE injured and detained the president of SEIU California for peacefully observing. ICE picked the wrong side. The wrong state. The wrong person. and the wrong union. David Huerta stood up. And now 750,000 SEIU workers are standing up behind him. seiuca.org/press-releas...

Please someone make those first few traitors into a banger for the summer

If you think you recognize any of these men seen in Chicago on Wednesday based on these tattoos, please send us a message. Signal is unraveled.66.

It is possible to hate two people simultaneously, with no loss of zeal!

the best thing the opposition could do right now is print up 20k “landlords for cuomo” signs

Outside of the MDC in Loe Angeles on the other end of the building from a press conference, dozens chanting “set them free” regarding immigration detainees. Officers filming, armed with several weapons.

We refuse to stay silent while ICE terrorizes working class communities. We are turning out and standing united in solidarity with @seiuca.bsky.social calling on the release of SEIU President David Huerta!

May he feel our love.

Holy shit.

This is batshit

EVERYBODY WATCH. ICE IS OUT OF CONTROL. Video of SEIU California’s President David Huerta getting assaulted & arrested during an ICE raid in the warehouse district of Downtown Los Angeles today. He’s an LA native, American citizen and labor leader. Don’t turn away.

Red wolves are one of the most endangered canids in the world—with fewer than 20 believed to remain in the wild. Every sighting, pup, and howl is a sign of hope—and a reason to keep fighting for their future. 🐺 #wolfconservationcenter #saveredwolves

UPDATE thread: This is likely the kind of shadow docket decision coming for NIH, HHS, and other agencies next week. Get ready, US scientists. Let's focus public attention on the Supreme Court now, so John Roberts worries about the backlash if he votes to allow the DOGE firings. 🧪 1/3

People in Miami-Dade jails sought for deportation could “disappear” from online inmate searches under a proposed deal with ICE. In exchange, Miami-Dade can be reimbursed $50 for each person held on an ICE detainer, nowhere close to covering the expense for the county.

When Elon Musk blurted out that Trump is in the Epstein Files, he has every reason to know. Peter Thiel lied to Joe Rogan when he said he got “tax advice” from Jeffrey Epstein. He got $40 million. Thiel has been protecting Epstein and Trump for a decade. www.mind-war.com/p/peter-thie...

A protest against the detainments of immigrants at 930 e towne in LA beginning to escalate. Detainees are being filed into trucks. Large protest is here. Tear gas has been deployed. More to come.
