LAPD and LA Sheriffs tried to prevent two large protests from joining together in downtown and both departments ended up hitting EACH OTHER with impact munitions from across the same interesection.

L.A. TACO is working on confirming the total of vendors and customers taken by ICE but it's estimated that 40 to 50 of them were detained. A video shared from a vendor's son who saw everything unfold as ICE raided the Santa Fe Springs Swap meet. Tonight's event was cancelled. @janettev.bsky.social

Advocate 10 Jun 25 - Iowa passes a complete ban on Medicaid funds being used for affirming medical care, for adolescents _and_ for adult, sparing only related mental health services. @rikiwilchins.bsky.social

The political assassination of Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota, the political prosecution of a federal judge in Wisconsin, political violence against Democratic mayors and Congresspeople in New Jersey, the state violence against Congresspeople in Los Angeles are all part of the same phenomenon.

“A deranged maniac impersonated a police officer and killed lawmakers but if you’re an immigrant be sure you immediately comply with plain clothes people who won’t identify themselves telling you to get in a van”, what a fuckin country

We're continuing to have a major DDoS attack. We're actively working on it. Thanks for your patience.

The suspected assassin, Vance Boelter was the CEO a security services group in central Africa and the CEO of Praetorian Guard Security Services based in Minnesota.

"defund the police" was so obviously correct. I really don't care if it doesn't poll well. it's like telling me that I should stop saying I like vaccines if they stopped polling well.

In this video: a woman in the passenger seat of a car narrating how Officer Corona (?) aims his weapon directly at her inside the car where she got stuck in the middle of this while looking for parking near city hall. Protesters are NOT blocking traffic. Militarized LEOs are blocking traffic.

The tech industry needs serious, meaningful regulation about the things it can sell and how it can sell them, and the neoliberal bullshit of “free markets” has allowed this nakedly harmful software to proliferate, taking advantage of the fact that more people than ever feel alone and desperate

It's such BS that the press is saying the killer is impersonating a cop. That's an assertion of fact that they cannot possibly know. Unless they know the identity of the killer, they can't know that the killer isn't actually a cop. This is pure propaganda

assassins dress like cops bc that’s who’s allowed to murder people in broad daylight

just got a photo of the shooter from a doorbell camera

"The assassin was masquerading as a cop" If they don't know his identity, how are they sure he isn't a cop? Sincere question.

assassinations, handcuffing a senator at press conference, marines detaining a civilian, and a military parade for the president’s birthday. rough week for democracy.

not to be inflammatory, just the opposite, but this is an accelerationist's dream come true. i want to say very clearly that i am not an accelerationist, it's a violently reactionary position, but this is right out of that playbook please be careful everyone

There is something utterly obliterative about this that fascinates me

BREAKING: Shootings reported at homes of 2 Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota. At least 3 people shot, suspect at large bnonews.com/index.php/20...

Um "The suspect is believed to be impersonating a police officer and is still at large."

The brother of a #Chelmsford, #Massachusetts cop hit a teen girl in the back of the head with a mirror on his truck then drove away. She was diagnosed with a concussion. It was caught on video, but police said no charges were warranted until the local news started asking questions. #mapoli

This is insane

in the same way that most liberals are chill (and raging about them online makes you weird and out of touch) so are most leftists. i cannot find anyone saying that liberal protest is useless outside of the mentions of people critiquing an imagined leftist who hates liberal protest.

The correct version

You don't have to "support iran" to understand it's illegal, immoral, and absolutely fucking insane to bomb apartment buildings full of Iranians! It's clear to anyone with a brain that isn't so smooth it can be skipped across a lake who the aggressive, criminal party here is.

In the name of "fighting antisemitism," the US government is deporting two Palestinian peace activists whose visas were being sponsored by... an American synagogue. www.haaretz.com/us-news/2025...

NEW FROM CBO: brutal distributional analysis of House GOP "Big Beautiful Bill" On avg the bottom 30% of households get poorer under the GOP bill Avg gets little - and are worse off if you include tariffs This'd be the largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in a single law in history

"In the 1850s, the Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled that the Fugitive Slave Act violated the Constitution's Tenth Amendment, which gave states the power to enact laws not specifically preempted by federal authority. What Trump and his troopers are engaged in now is the same kind of violent enforcement"

feels like everything since Thursday morning has been a fucked up dream

There it is. The first ever Heat Advisory issued in Alaska. This is the first year it has been an option. @alaskawx.bsky.social

Republicans: WE NOMINATE SKELETOR Democrats: We dislike Skeletor but we will vote to confirm him. Please give us between 5 and 50 dollars. <Later> Democrats: I stand before you to condemn the actions of Skeletor. He should have never been given this power. Please give me between 5 and 50 dollars.

so uh yeah, israel did a full-on decapitation strike on iran. - chief of army and the entire general staff: dead - chief of revolutionary guards: dead - other political figures targeted - nuclear scientists targeted - natanz nuclear center: burning this isn't a "pre-emptive strike", this is war

Newsom is literally sending cops from around the state to come brutalize us in LA. He was *literally* throwing poor people’s belongings away with his own hands. Fuck Gavin Newsom.

i've had a terrible day personally (my 16y/o cat suddenly can't walk and could be dying) and this means i probably have to cancel long term plans to travel tomorrow. and apparently the rest of the entire planet has too so that's something. hang in there y'all idk if it gets easier.

Holy shit a bunch of ICE prisoners who weren't getting fed broke down a fence and escaped this fucking rips Moreover, ICE must be destroyed www.nj.com/essex/2025/0...

Reports coming in that people managed to break out and escape horrific ICE prison in #NewJersey. "About 50 inmates at Delaney Hall, the ICE detention facility in Newark, banded together and pushed down the wall of a dormitory room..." www.nj.com/essex/2025/0...

JUST IN: Judge Charles Breyer finds that President Trump exceeded the scope of his authority and violated the 10th Amendment by federalizing the California National Guard and orders him to return control to Governor Newsom. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Democratic Rep. Sam Liccardo just called out Mike Johnson's lies in the middle of his press conference. This is amazing.

4 Democrats didn’t vote and another 3 Democratic seats are vacant due to member deaths Four Democratic absences (Correa, Beatty, Randall and Norcross) and the deaths of Grijalva, Turner and Connelly left the Democrats down 7 votes as the bill passed by 2. Two Republicans also didn’t vote.

"Constitutional Sheriff" of Brevard County, FL, Wayne Ivey, threatens to kill anti-ICE demonstrators.
