I hope @patriottakes.bsky.social and @rightwingcope.bsky.social are on the ball this weekend because I desperately need to see some dogshit MAGA takes. Schadenfreude is the closest thing to happiness I’m gonna get right now.

The Republican budget bill includes new tax breaks to private equity firms who take over smaller businesses, load them with debt, close factories, and fire workers. Yet another Wall Street giveaway by the "party of the working class."

Some issues, like #DueProcess and #TransRights, should not be treated as “distractions” from “winning issues.” They are not only good, but completely vital to a democracy in and of themselves! They cannot be brushed aside for political expediency. And now the iron is hot. STRIKE IT, GODDAMNIT!

ICE agent points gun directly at the head of innocent civilian—just for taking picture of his license plate. He drew his gun with one hand—while fumbling to open the car door with the other. The "agent" did not seem to be aware someone else was already recording his vehicle. Pasadena, California.

LA DODGERS just now: “This morning, ICE agents came to Dodger Stadium and requested permission to access the parking lots. They were denied entry to the grounds by the organization. Tonight’s game will be played as scheduled.” Right on, Dodgers! More of this, please.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court ruled Tennessee’s law banning gender-affirming medical care for transgender youth can remain in effect. This is devastating for trans people and our families but doesn’t end our work against President Trump’s attacks on trans people and our health care.

Remarkable. MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful." Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd. Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

This man is my hero because he’s a member of the United States Air Force and is standing by his #Oath to the #Constitution! I’m hoping that since he has taken the lead others will follow because this is what a true American Soldier looks like! Remember your Oath to the Constitution

@padilla.senate.gov represents the best of the Senate. The disgraceful and disrespectful conduct of DHS agents, pushing and shoving him out of a briefing like that, demands our condemnation. He will not be silenced or intimidated. His questions will be answered. I’m with Alex.

A man with a green card said ICE agents arrested him in #Lynn, Mass then took him to a detention facility—but first made a detour to a cemetery, where they took him out of their vehicle and beat him. #mapoli #Massachusetts

"No Kings": 1,800+ Rallies Planned as Trump Threatens "Very Heavy Force" on Army Parade Protester

submitted 10 days ago • 34 comments

As of 7:45PM ET, protests of historic size are happening in Chicago and NYC, the other two of the three largest cities in America. There are no reports of violence. Why? Because police are standing back and letting people peacefully express themselves. Trump wanted and incited the violence in LA.

Last night, President Trump deployed an additional 2,000 National Guard troops to quash protests in Los Angeles, over the objection of the governor. DHS also reportedly requested more military assistance and has asked the military to arrest people. Military troops have no place on our streets.

The wear of the nametape for soldiers engaging in operations with their units is not optional under AR 670-1. If you see National Guard soldiers without their nametapes, ask them who ordered the 670-1 violation.

“A draft dodger is holding a military parade on June 14. That is so offensive to people like me that I have no words that are not profane to say what I feel.” While Trump wastes millions on his birthday parade in DC, we’re showing up everywhere else to say NO KINGS: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

Garcia’s indictment might or might not be legit, but his impending return to the U.S. would be a triumph for law over autocratic rule and would prove that Trump and his goons were lying when they claimed they couldn’t facilitate his return to American soil. abcnews.go.com/US/mistakenl...

We got someone back from CECOT. It is possible. That is the important thing here. The Trump Administration should no longer be able to claim these individuals are beyond their reach. Bring EVERYONE back and give them due process. #KilmarAbregoGarcia #DueProcess
