They are acting like they just captured Bin Laden

Couple things I learned today: - Seniors are extremely fired up about this - "Fuck ICE" is a normie position now - People are MASSIVELY pissed off about Sen. Padilla being wrestled to the ground in LA - We all we got, we all we need

WATCH: In an interview yesterday, Tim Walz says the United States is now an authoritarian country: “The only question is how far into it we get.”

Aspirational barricades for Trump’s parade.

This is insurrection.

Rieckhoff: Trump, smartly—and maybe stupidly—chose to hit the military first. They’re using the military and the Pentagon as a test case for everything they want to do in America. And what I’d say is: if they can come after us, they can come after anyone.

An Army vet heading to the VA took a wrong turn—and was detained by Marines in LA. While they acted professionally, their detaining him was likely illegal under the Posse Comitatus Act. It’s another line being crossed—and it puts our Marines in a bad spot. www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

Resistance is everywhere. Large and small protests matter. Raising your voice is everything.

From a dear comrade who was kind enough to let me share their video. Veterans stage a sit-in on the US Capitol steps and say, “Military off our streets!” Hell yeah!

Trump paying seat fillers for his sad fascism parade.

I love this way more than I should.

New Yorkers, you know what to do. Do not rank Cuomo.

Well, this should be in every court case

Thoughts and prayers.

What is even happening? You know this guy will never be held accountable. Anyone know who he is?

This ICE agent tells an immigration attorney of her three clients: "I'm not picky so I'm giving you the options cause I have to take one. If not I'll take all." He is quite literally saying that ICE is simply deporting people at random to meet a quota. www.instagram.com/reel/DKzbcQe...

<thread> On the left: June 12, Judge Breyer writing that THE test for whether the US Marines/Guard violate Posse Comitatus will be whether they've engaged in "detaining" civilians. On the right: June 13: See for yourself. Note: The DoD has confirmed the detention of civilian to Reuters.

ICE is now authorized to make warrantless arrests. They are arresting legal visa holders, permanent residents, and US citizens to meet Stephen Miller’s quota. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

NEWS E. Jean Carroll wins another round against Trump, as a federal appeals court declines to reconsider an appeal of the $5 million verdict en banc. Two judges of the 13-strong bench dissent. Both Trump appointees. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I know the answer to this one www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

NEW: 12 masked armed men try to enter a homeless shelter without saying who they are. ICE agents park outside an elementary school, sparking fear and a car accident. Local police respond to a call about a possible assault, only to find ICE. Inside one day on LI: theintercept.com/2025/06/13/i...

We hear that immigrants are "freeloaders," yet they're being arrested at their workplaces. We hear that immigrants "just need to follow the law," but when they attempt to, they're rounded up at courthouses. Hello?

NYT found the “big beautiful bill” would be the largest transfer from the poor to the rich in a single law since at least 1990. In fact, it would be the largest transfer *ever.* Reagan’s low-income cuts were MUCH smaller - and his tax cuts were done separately. And before him, nothing comes close.

This is a good read (published in 2013) about the normalization of increasingly militant policing throughout decades. The police were built on the rotten foundation of upholding fascism and protecting the ruling class, while brutalizing and oppressing people of color and marginalized communities.

Well…

Yeah okay this shit should be banned. It should be banned and destroyed.

It’s round-up-everyone-palooza! ICE gets green light for warrantless arrests. www.thehandbasket.co/p/ice-warran...

Toldya.

Even worse, you must give money to Elon Musk as a condition of any corporate merger. This shit is terrifying. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/12/b...

see what you need to understand is that they’re coming hard at california bc if they can take us down then it tells the smaller states there’s no point in fighting. we’re the bellwether. that’s why it’s so important we stop this shit NOW.

If the feds’ objective is to “liberate” Los Angeles and California from its democratically elected leadership, then this not a peacekeeping mission but a program of invasion.

When a cabinet member announces "We are using the military to liberate an American city from its elected leaders," where do you go from there. What is left to say. The idea of that being anything short of a near-universal "Wait, what the fuck is going on" moment proves how far we've backslid.
