My god, ICE is everywhere. This is ICE raiding a construction site in Florida. But there are hundreds of videos on social media from New York, Southern California, Minnesota, Kansas, New Jersey, everywhere. It is literally a gestapo takeover.

I'm not a historian but my analysis is it's "Not good" when a government constantly commits crimes and tells the legislature, courts, and general public "What are you gonna do about it"

Marine veterans are speaking out against the troop deployment in Los Angeles. Across the country, they’re taking down their American flags that have flown in front of their homes for years. Remember, we have friends everywhere.

They are creating violence where there is none because they require violence to justify tightening their grip.

ICE trucks just attract rocks. Nobody's throwing them. If anything they're trying to hold the rocks back. But the attraction is too strong

In the last 20 or so minutes I’ve seen LAPD officers shove women to the ground without provocation, rip a sign out of a man’s hand and then swing a baton into his leg and raise a less-lethal launcher to aim directly at a protester (which I’m 99% is a major policy violation.)

Exactly this

Israel is out of control

Things are escalating fast on the freeway in Los Angeles. Tear gas canisters are being kicked back and forth

Newsom and ambitious people like him want Americans to wait this out so that the power structure *as it currently exists* will be intact for them to grab when things “go back to normal.” Pushing back on power now would mean less power for them when it’s their turn. Real change is not their goal.

DEVELOPING: No warning. No reason. NYPD officers rushed into the crowd and tackled a protester this weekend. His body was limp. He couldn’t move. He said, “I can’t feel my legs.” He might never walk again. For showing up. This is brutality. This is America.

This is an opportunity. If ICE officers start quitting en masse, Stevie Miller won’t have the people he needs to carry out his fascism. Keep publicly shaming them.

Trump regime ICE forces assaulted and kidnapped a mother on her way to pick up her children from school, this is what they are doing all over the country. #StopICE

Seems like most people on here are anti-evil. That's the kind of insular groupthink that loses elections :/

No fascism here, folks 🙄

At the ICE raid and subsequent community resistance in Paramount, California this morning, this skater kid ate dozens of munitions from Border Patrol agents, walked away slowly and flipped them off.

Really poignant piece of street art from artist TopZ out of Seattle!

Chicago fighting back against ICE. You love to see it 💪

Elon vs Trump is the MAGA version of Kendrick vs Drake except they're both Diddy

Y’all— Senator Lankford admits 11 million will be kicked off Medicaid, but says they’re just “transitioning to employer-provided insurance” Republicans still don’t get it: NOT EVERY EMPLOYER PROVIDES INSURANCE Also: we shouldn’t rely on bosses to stay alive. #MedicareForAll

Trump pardons are out of control. ======================== How do those encumbered with student debt feel seeing this? -----------------------------------

The GOP: "The economy is tanking, grocery prices are skyrocketing, have we tried giving the rich more money to solve this?"

For me, the attack on science is essentially an attack on authority. Which, frankly, they've already won! It's normal to be an anti-vaxxer! It's normal to think colloidal silver or whatever can cure your mumps! But they want to be able to say whatever they believe and have it be accepted.

Heat Exhaustion & Stroke Risk! In many regions, we have gone from a very cold spring to the hot days of summer. Be extra careful exerting yourself, especially when you body has yet to adapt. DRINK LOTS OF FLUIDS LINK to some good reading: my.clevelandclinic.org/health/disea...
