CNN’s Jason Carroll was zip-tied and escorted away—for reporting the news. But they claimed he wasn’t under arrest? Why are they shooting rubber bullets at and silencing journalists? We still have a First Amendment.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem called Los Angeles a “city of criminals” and not a city of immigrants. But like its name, Los Angeles is a city of angels. We protect and look out for one another, especially the most vulnerable.

Think pink. (And please pardon the language) #RadioFreeAmerica

The Conversation - In Trump’s America, the shooting of a journalist is not a one-off. Press freedom itself is under attack In all, the Los Angeles Press Club has documented more than 30 incidents of obstruction and attacks on journalists during the protests.

FACISM IS ALREADY HERE, PEOPLE

2,000 National Guardsmen in L.A.? Trump isn’t sending aid...he’s sending a message: compliance at gunpoint. Deploying soldiers to our own streets like enemies of the state? This isn’t leadership. It’s authoritarian theater. And we should be furious.

Actually, pricey mediocre consultants, who also happen to be incompetent asshats (talking about you, Matt Yglesias! Adding Paul Weiss capitulator Karen Dunn, for the record) are the biggest problem the Democratic party has. And yet...

I watched large portions of this segment and at one point @mattyglesias.bsky.social threw up this slide, said Dems are "making bad press on this issue" and moved on. But the polling is wildly on Dem's side on this one! Opponents of what the Trump admin is doing with him outnumber supporters 2-1!

They promised to root out waste and abuse and found none, and in the process wasted money and abused innocent people. They promised to deport 20 million people but are not getting anywhere near that, so they are desperately arresting anyone they can get their hands on whilst wearing face masks.

Joni Ernst - “We’re all going to die.” Looks like her Senate seat got the memo and started packing its bags. Maybe she can ask the tooth fairy for a new job

When a child is traumatized by your policies the adults need to step up

Sen Collins, you ready to gut Medicaid? ➡️ 20% of the state depends on MaineCare ➡️ 40% of births are covered by Medicaid You’re sentencing rural hospitals to closure and low-income families to suffering

This. Thread.

I really, really need people to understand that as a function of supremacy, normal everyday people lie constantly about their intentions—to everyone, but perhaps to themselves most of all—and most often in service of protecting their ignorance and complacency, rather than any coherent ideology.

There's a special place in hell for those who hide behind scripture.

"If what you're doing is legitimate and lawful, why do you need to cover your face?”

Wow! - expectacular!

Wow, if Trump suffered "mental anguish" from a 60 Minutes interview, he's definitely too weak, and as Putin put it, too "emotional," to lead. apnews.com/article/trum...

Takes a lot of chutzpah to make a $290 million political donation, assume a powerful position in government, use that power to fire tens of thousands of people and do immeasurable harm to American state capacity, and expect not to have to answer for it afterwards.

Wow—this is what community looks like. It’s heartwarming to see locals rally around Buona Forchetta after it was raided by ICE on Friday. In the face of fear and cruelty, San Diegans are showing up with solidarity.

Waidaminnit...Lady, did you do this in a cemetery...a bone yard? Awwww, HELL NO, you trifling, trolling piece of garbage.

What the fuckety fuck is wrong with her???

What a fucking asshole
