This story exemplifies the reason people are outraged at ICE. This guy did nothing wrong. He broke not a single law. He was a guard at a base that housed US troops. He came here legally through humanitarian parole. He had an asylum application pending. Yet the Trump admin had ICE grab him anyway.

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.

Healthcare for seniors is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse. Food for hungry kids is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse. A $45 military parade for a draft dodging felon *is* waste, fraud, and abuse. Paying the National Guard to attack US citizens *is* waste, fraud, and abuse.

SWAT shoot at a woman for filming them.

The people of Los Angeles will rally on Monday, 6/9 to demand the release of everyone unjustly detained by ICE, like SEIU leader David Huerta, and an end to militaristic escalation on our communities. Join us and @aclusocal.bsky.social at 11 AM in LA to call for an end to these human rights abuses.

Let's all boycott July 4th until the America it was intended to celebrate is back (well, not the slavery part).

Did you know that when Pam Bondi said "We presented El Salvador with an arrest warrant and they agreed to return him," she was admitting she failed to follow the extradition process, proving he could have been returned at any time? My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/abrego-gar...

Trump planning to make it harder to go to college (unless you're rich) by cutting both Pell Grants and work study programs, all to give massive tax cuts to billionaires. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Q: "Could we really see active duty Marines on the streets of Los Angeles?" Johnson: "I don't think that's heavy handed." Q: "You don't think sending Marines into the streets of an American city is heavy handed?" Johnson: "We have to be prepared to do what is necessary."

ATTN: If you’re a member of the National Guard or you work for ICE and you’re asked to violate the law or your oath, contact Whistleblower Aid to safely, securely, and legally blow the whistle. You can support Whistleblower Aid HERE: whistlebloweraid.org/beans

BREAKING: NPR reports that 96,000 adults and 200,000 children have already died because of Trump's & Musk's destruction of USAID. Immoral. Illegal. And. Inhumane. 😎✨

looks like an objective assessment to me

"two months later, authorities have yet to provide any evidence that the more than three dozen people they arrested that night have connections to the gang..." www.texastribune.org/2025/06/04/t...

Warning: ICE is planning 30 days of immigration raids across Los Angeles County. If you or someone you know may be impacted, now is the time to set up a support system, identify a safe place, and stay alert.

Punk af.

Just more HYPOCRISY from the right…👇 Nothing more. Enjoy. 😎✨

#TechCoupDaily evening edition: #Starlink was installed at the White House over objection of security officials who feared foreign hacking -- and still do. WH claimed Starlink would fix "dead" zones at complex; but Post sources say it was so #DOGE could transmit reams of data. #Resist

Of course the LA Times makes it look like a full on riot instead of showing that the mostly peaceful protesters were literally and constantly assaulted by ICE agents. The majority of fires that were started weren’t by the public but by ICE firing into the crowds and canisters starting fires. 🧵

VETERAN: “This is why they can’t wear masks. Because people like this exist… if you want to snatch people off the streets, do it in uniform, and show your damn face.” (@MarshaBlackburn’s Secret Police bill criminalizes transparency and threatens 5 years for naming an ICE agent)

The ACLU weighed in on Trump’s decision to federalize the National Guard as an “inflammatory abuse of power. This action puts Angelenos in harm’s way, exposes troops to legal and ethical consequences, and shreds a fundamental democratic principle, that the military has no place policing civilians.”

Here's the Washington Examiner piece that first quoted Stephen Miller ordering ICE to invade Home Deport a few weeks ago. This makes it clear that Miller himself ordered the escalation that has led to conflict in LA. www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/white-h...

“Tasted a little tear gas— tasted like fascism”

Excellent question.

"It's really hard to fathom that the guy making my pizza for 25 years is a gangster and a terrorist, and the person who shows up in an unmarked car wearing a mask and body armor comes to take him away is somehow the good guy” www.wnep.com/article/news...

ICE surrendered their presumption of legitimacy when they kidnapped and internationally trafficked dozens-to-hundreds without due process and defied courts who have demanded their return. It’s cash now, no credit. GTFO of our communities and don’t come back until you have proof.

LAPD STATEMENT: “The protests remained peaceful… without incident…”

This is the cycle: raid, escalate, criminalize the response, send in troops. ICE raids are not neutral, they’re psychological warfare on communities, and now they’re using military backup. This isn’t enforcement. It’s state-sponsored intimidation.

The federal government is moving to take over the California National Guard and deploy 2,000 soldiers. That move is purposefully inflammatory and will only escalate tensions.

Imagine that. www.npr.org/2025/06/02/n...

Pete Hesgeth — who wants to rename the Navy ship that honors Medgar Evers, a WWII veteran who landed on Omaha Beach — is using that same beach for a photo op in which he promises we will “never forget” the veterans there. What an unbelievable asshole.

EVERYBODY WATCH. ICE IS OUT OF CONTROL. Video of SEIU California’s President David Huerta getting assaulted & arrested during an ICE raid in the warehouse district of Downtown Los Angeles today. He’s an LA native, American citizen and labor leader. Don’t turn away.

🚨NEW: @cbsnews.com reports ICE is arresting people who can't even legally be deported and holding them without enough food or water in a federal building BASEMENT in Los Angeles. Families dutifully attending check-ins with ICE are being arrested and held for days, forced to sleep on the floor.

BREAKING: A federal judge blocked President Trump's executive order prohibiting transgender people incarcerated in federal custody from receiving gender-affirming medical care.

State Department briefing today - Opening announcement: Hey guys, from now on we're gonna go ahead and arrest the family members and any "sympathizers" of those who engage in whatever we feel like defining as an act of terror. Cool? Moving right along.

This is why people across the country need to remain engaged and not give up in the face of oppression

Donald Trump just approved the largest meat company in the world to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange—completely ignoring its history of corruption and bribery. Why? Maybe because they donated $5M to his inauguration. I'm pressing for answers.

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

These people were following the law and went to check in with immigration like they are supposed to. This woman's immigration case was dismissed, which made her immediately undocumented. So ICE took her into custody. The air conditioning was off in the back of the truck. "I can't breathe."

I couldn't agree more.

This article is absolutely wild.

Raskin: This is a gangster state. This is not basically a legitimate government that is sometimes doing corrupt things. This is an essentially corrupt enterprise. It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people

These men are trying to kill me
