Sweet dreams... #sunset #reflection #eastcoastkin #photographersofbluesky

Protests are not “rebellion” under law and court precedent.

UPDATE: David Huerta was just released from custody!

DAVID IS RELEASED and with his family! He still faces an unjust felony charge. SEIU CA USWW President David Huerta was assaulted and arrested while standing up for immigrants’ rights. TAKE ACTION 👉 seiu.co/endraids

Ahem.

What a difference a year makes- HYPOCRITES all

DO NOT issue the orders per Title 10 - use the rule of law, sir

Pete Hegseth is now threatening to send the Marines into Los Angeles. Make no mistake: this is a declaration of war against the United States.

A reminder tonight: Be reflective if you must be armed. If you carry a weapon in public service, God bless you and keep you. But know that evils of the past involved policemen and soldiers finding themselves, one day, doing irregular things. Be ready to say no. Wisdom of @timothysnyder.bsky.social

The federal government is taking over the California National Guard and deploying 2,000 soldiers in Los Angeles — not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle. Don't give them one. Never use violence. Speak out peacefully.

Under Title 10 Nat'l Guard now are federal military, under DOD and serving the President's directive. Local and state LEA have not requested federal assistance, they are not overwhelmed. The govt has lowered the standard for federalization of nat'l guard to the protest level. Dangerous!

Welcome to America, where protesting illegal kidnappings without due process is an insurrection, but attacking the nation’s Capitol is not.

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.

I've been screaming this to my legislators since December - his student visa expired when he dropped out of Stanford - he stayed and worked and founded a company. Investors pushed him to set it straight. Do we really think he was completely honest during his naturalization process about this?

What Elon Musk didn’t realize is that reducing the deficit is not—and has never been—the GOP’s priority. The big priorities (since Reagan) are cutting taxes and increasing military spending. Hence deficits regularly go up when Republicans are in power.

Marcelo Gomes da Silva has just been freed - $2k bail set. Massive protests here in MA since Saturday have worked. #breakingnews #IceMeltsApplyHeat @hcrichardson.bsky.social @maddow.msnbc.com @jimacosta.bsky.social @jenrubin.bsky.social @ruthbenghiat.bsky.social @egbertowillies.com

For the first time, Ukraine successfully targets Russian Iskanders before launch. They are almost impossible to intercept and extremely deadly. Ukraine hit 3 launchers of the 26th Rocket Brigade at the moment they were setting up to hit Kyiv. (Mylovanov)

It’s called taxing the rich, buddy.

I spoke about the Missouri GOP overturning our will on abortion and earned sick time and a higher minimum wage and when I tell you the rage that seethed in that room at the mention of those things…it was palpable. open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...

In Greek mythology, Narcissus fell in love with his own reflection in a pool of water.

'But now and then comes an hour when the silence is all but absolute, and listening to it one slips out of time. Such a silence is not a mere negation of sound. It is like a new element, and the world is suspended.' #Stunday #EastCoastKin #photography #sunrise #Scotland #Cairngorms #landscapes

Daily Reminder: Social Security is OUR money!

A Palantir database on all Americans is a frightening step towards fascism. Musk gets a lot of attention—rightfully so—but Peter Thiel is the techno-fascist billionaire hiding behind the scenes pulling the strings to end democracy. Thiel and his techno-fascist followers are threats to the world.

This is what democracy looks like. #FightFascism #FraminghamMA #VisibilityBrigade @visibilitybrigade.bsky.social @massgovernor.bsky.social @whipkclark.bsky.social @bostonglobe.com @wbur.org @wgbh.org @maddow.msnbc.com @hcrichardson.bsky.social @amysiskind.com @jesscraven101.bsky.social
