Our immigration system is broken. Our Blonde Berlusconi Wannabe isn't fixing it. He's not trying to fix it. He doesn't WANT to "fix" it. He wants to END immigration. #DACA #Dreamers #MeltingPot #Opportunity #TheBestandTheBrightest #HopeForABetterFuture

Robert Kennedy is every much a malevolent and dangerous madman as Stephen Miller and Trump. We can and must fight on multiple fronts at once, and we need to keep their attack on science, research, academia and our public health front and center now.

An important piece from @clmarohn.bsky.social at @strongtowns.org: "But what if the machine isn’t just clogged? What if it’s miscalibrated? What if the friction we’re trying to eliminate is the noisy resistance pointing to the deeper harm we are doing to our cities, towns, and neighborhoods?"

This is why we’re out in the streets - you cannot defend the actions of people who would lie to kidnap 1st graders. Any human being with a conscience is going to take that personally.

So easy to dunk on them. Bewildering that more pols don't do it more often.

In 2024, we warned of the darkness of a future Trump dictatorship. Jailing leaders of American cities, disappearing dissenters, and using military force to harm Americans. That future is on our doorstep. But we can stop it. Don't be afraid to exercise your power and tell Trump enough is enough.

Then, do you pay them or their family a $5m settlement?

Lying.

Lady who shoots puppies said what?

Did not know this.

After only five months in office, Trump has transformed the Department of Justice into an instrument for voter suppression. This should come as no surprise. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/the-...

Calling LA an "insurrection" could cause VERY SERIOUS problems for him regarding January 6th. He'd essentially be declaring himself ineligible to be POTUS.

When Senator Bill Cassidy announced he would vote to confirm RFK Jr, he included this in his statement: “If confirmed, he will maintain the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices without changes.” WITHOUT CHANGES.

This is the spirit of Los Angeles. This is California. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. #FreeDavidEndRaids

If POTUS invokes the insurrection act, he is conceding he's not eligible to be POTUS. If LA is an "insurrection," J6 was and he provided "aid and comfort" to them. #DQd

He lost by 82 points (91%-9%).

Stunning how badly Trump and the Rs have lost the debate on what their reconciliation bill will do. From new CBS/YouGov polling:

Be warned: attacking unions is a hallmark of fascism. https://www.commondreams.org/news/david-huerta-arrested

So...the ICE agents?

Substantial crowd already at the free David Huerta rally in downtown LA.

We're in another of those holding 2 things in r mind at once moments so common under Trumpism: Yes, this is meant to distract from Trumps spat with the lawless druggie he put in charge of the civil service & his increasingly unpopular budget bill. But it's also super important in itself. Both true.

Not really an open Q anymore - we ARE "the baddies." #ThatMitchellAndWebbLook

I'm curious why they originally considered deploying Pendleton Marines and now are talking Twentynine Palms.

The Trump regime arrested a union leader for the crime of texting on his phone.

A reason im not moved by the “don’t give the trump administration the pretext they’re looking for” is that we would not dare say that about any anti-authoritarian protest movement in literally any other country

And they are determined to find a pretext.

This is a delicious MAGA internal battle that you all should continue to exploit. Never go full conspiracy theorist. They did. This is also why Musk is exploiting it to hit at Trump. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/08/u...

"The microscopically thin pretext behind the Trump Administration’s deportation policies is that they’re targeting criminals and gang members. The problem is, groups of seamstresses and construction workers are not commonly construed as gangs." prospect.org/justice/ice-...

Australian reporter Lauren Tomasi was shot in the leg with a rubber bullet by an officer in Los Angeles:

Definitely need the National Guard to quell this... insurrection of... line dancing?

Not new news, but a fascinating story. This man's name is still featured prominently on the wall of the club he founded.

I love how we all believe we can read the mind of a literal madman, and all have our own versions of the proverbial "briar patch." Maybe people should just do the right fncking thing and stop being so concerned with optics.

Now do the Stars and Bars.

Thiel says heel.

Beyond Musk, Senators face another budget bill foe — callers "5 Calls app's internal data shows consistent, monthlong opposition to Trump's 'disgusting abomination' budget bill." See the spike in calls near the House passage. www.allrisenews.com/p/budget-bil...

Use WATER only to flush eyes after exposure. Do NOT wear contacts to protests (or take them out if you’re happen to be in public in an escalating scenario). Bag up your clothes immediately upon returning home after exposure until you can wash or dispose of them.

Thou shalt remember that President Trump hired a “big time drug addict” to destroy the government and was fine with that. Thou shalt also remember that Elon Musk funded and worked for a man he knew to be a pedophile and was fine with that.

"It's really hard to fathom that the guy making my pizza for 25 years is a gangster and a terrorist, and the person who shows up in an unmarked car wearing a mask and body armor comes to take him away is somehow the good guy” www.wnep.com/article/news...
