“Can you hear me ahora?”

In case you still had any doubts about those claims of racism.

BREAKING: What you just witnessed was a state-sanctioned kidnapping. These people aren’t identifying themselves. Citizens can no longer distinguish between state authority & rogue violence. This is not a warning about what might come. We are not watching the start of something. We are living it.

For real

You misspelled "perade."

100% concur. Additionally, these troops didn’t fall in and start marching cold. They practiced. So this normal walking, out of step gait by certain individuals was clearly intentional. And I’m here for it. #notmypresident #notmycommanderinchief

We, the people, have spoken!

ICE raiding a crowded supermarket in Rosemead, California with no identification, indistinguishable from cartel hitmen, pulling high caliber rifles on unarmed US citizens trying to ask questions about wtf is going on. #3E #StopICE

Gestapo days....

If you’re attending a protest today and happen to be a trumpet player who knows Star Wars. Great opportunity Stay safe. Fight the Empire. #NoKings #DemCast #DemVoice1

National origin says nothing about the value of anybody.

HONESTY. INTEGRITY. DECENCY. #June14th-ObamaAppreciationDay

Yes, just imagine.

You have to add up all the red bars and stack them on top of each other to pay for the green bar.

Warmth melts ICE.

Lesson 13 of "On Tyranny": Practice corporeal politics. Find your No Kings protest, June 14th.

Gavin Newsom speaking Truth to Sarah Huckabee Sanders

These are the people banning books.

Don't let them lie to you about Senator Padilla. DHS is claiming the agents DID NOT KNOW he was a senator. He CLEARLY says (BEFORE he is tackled and cuffed) "I am Senator Alex Padilla and I have a question for the secretary."

Senator Alex Padilla of California was removed by force from Kristi Noem’s presser and handcuffed for his free speech. This is what a fascist regime does that rejects the laws of the US. It should horrify every American. Let’s stop pretending we are approaching authoritarian rule. We are there.

This all happened in California. Can California arrest the FBI goons who assaulted California's senior senator?

No words.

US Senator Alex Padilla being dragged out of Kristi Noem’s press conference today when he showed up to ask her questions.

Kimmel nails this hoser.

The entire board tasked with overseeing the State Department's Fulbright Program has resigned — claiming political interference from the Trump admin.   The Board voted "overwhelmingly" to resign "rather than endorse unprecedented actions … impermissible under the law." substack.com/home/post/p-...

This morning in Detroit immigrants were detained today after showing up to their scheduled court appointments. They now face deportation. Community members quickly came to the federal courthouse to show their support. 👇

BREAKING: About 500 National Guard troops have been trained to accompany agents on immigration raids, and some have temporarily detained protesters in LA, commander says.

My relatives keep asking me how we're doing in the riots. I say, you mean the police riots? Cuz no one else is rioting.

Update to the saga. A bunch of lovely people went to bat for me. Not sure what did it in what I think I might call the ficklesphere, but my account is mine again. Just posted this. Thanks so much to everyone who was kind and supportive.

This is the most dangerous thing Trump has done since taking office and the silence from Senate Armed Services Chair Roger Wicker and House Chair Mike Rogers is deafening, and a betrayal of their duty to the military and the Republic.

We feed you. They hunt us.

Little update on Facebook's decision to shut my account.

An LAPD helicopter claimed to have ID'ed protesters from above and threatened to "come to your house." The threat was greeted with extreme concern by civil liberties and digital privacy groups. It suggests the LAPD could be using facial recognition to identify and retaliate against protesters.

LAPD Chief McDonnell on Trump’s deployment of Marines: LAPD received no formal notification. There’s no coordination, their deployment causes logistical & operational challenges to LAPD’s mission to safeguard the city. For decades, LAPD has managed large scale demonstrations Trump created chaos

The National Guard arrived in LA. NOTE: If Trump can override California’s governor, he can override yours too. This is a trial run…

Deploying the National Guard—over the objections of state leaders and local law enforcement—is a dangerous escalation. This isn’t about enforcing law and order, it’s about seizing power and control. Americans won’t tolerate this slide into authoritarianism.
