Peacefully protesting is a right. It’s completely un-American and needlessly provocative for Trump to deploy the National Guard and Marines against Americans. These are unlawful orders.

LAPD shoot US woman with a rubber bullet for trying to get into her home, they were blocking her entrance and there was no protest in sight. “Holy fuck — They literally just shot her point blank… I live here…” ( www.tiktok.com/@labyrinthlore) #3E #StopICE

Nice to see Gottheimer bite the dust hard. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Miller’s conduct reported by the Wall Street Journal—directing random people to be seized based on their location and then transported across state or international borders—would, once acted upon, constitute conspiracy to commit kidnapping under federal law, a felony punishable by life imprisonment.

I elaborated on the point that the Big Beautiful Bill has a pretty direct connection to the ICE raids in Los Angeles: it provides $72 billion for detention and enforcement that would bring community crackdowns to a city near you: prospect.org/politics/tru...

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

Yes. Fucking Nazi Cowards, All. open.substack.com/pub/howthing...

Please inject this thinking into the Dem group chats

Brand-new polling from YouGov out this AM finds Trump's actions re: LA underwater. Double-digit disapproval on sending in Marines. This should be a reality check for those people arguing the protests inherently help Trump bc his immigration approval # is positive. today.yougov.com/topics/polit...

Every accusation from MAGAland is a confession.

@contesteveryrace.bsky.social Hi! I’m late to this, but here’s a great clip of @staceyabrams.com leading with the importance of local elections. substack.com/@staceyabram...

Didn’t know much about Fiorello LaGuardia‘s history before this article comparing Mamdani to him. Now another reason to love LGA. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

A riveting, funny, and insightful read from my favorite new follow. (@djrothkopf.bsky.social look out, your place at the top of my list may be threatened.)

The President of California’s largest union, David Huerta, was targeted and kidnapped by ICE during their illegal raids in Los Angeles. Huerta is a US citizen. He stood his ground against the regime troops terrorizing the city. #3E

Heavily armed Trump regime forces driven away by community resistance mid ICE raid in Los Angeles, scenes repeating all over the city where people are standing up to them. #3E #EndImpunity #StopICE

About time we saw a massive response in the streets. Kudos to @seiu.org for fearless and capable leadership.

“It is time we set aside the arrogance of the past century or more.” - @djrothkopf.bsky.social

“We all collectively have to object to this madness because this is not justice. This is injustice.” - David Huerta, SEIU CA President, arrested by ICE.

Elon threatening to just leave people on the ISS is making a pretty good case for why you nationalize your space program!

Yunseo Chung, the Columbia student and green-card holder who has been in hiding since ICE tried to disappear her in March, wins sweeping order preventing her arrest and detention. She becomes the first of these pro-Palestinian advocates to circumvent the Trump administration policy to deport them.

The United States should take over Space X after this threat. We can't have a private person have this much power. And let's add Starlink to the list. That should have happened when he shut down the service in Ukraine years ago.

Great article on how a German court has ruled that private companies can be held liable for their share in causing climate damages. It's the polluter pays principle, and as such should be a no-brainer. But the fossil fuel industry has so far thought to be exempt. theconversation.com/one-lawsuit-...

It's vitally important to learn the identities of these masked, nameless federal agents. Prosecuting them will be crucial to the restoration of a Republic based on law and order.

CHICAGOIANS STANDING UP TO ICE!! Don’t let them erase this. Share this everywhere!

The White House is deliberately and explicitly pitting American Jews and Muslims against each other. It's one of the most abhorrent aspects of this travel ban. Faced with ascendant white nationalism, Jews and Muslims are natural allies here.

“State leaders are under an obligation to act. I’m calling on them to do something, and to do more, and do what they can, Because it will reverberate, it will haunt them, it will reach their doorsteps.” #gaza www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Progress can sometimes be slow, but with persistence it is possible. Take the case of leaded gasoline.

A majority of Americans now disapprove of Trump’s immigration agenda. Six in ten oppose deporting immigrants to a foreign nation without due process. By a nearly 2 to 1 margin, Americans want those wrongfully deported brought home. theimmigrationhub.shorthandstories.com/disappeared-...
