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

it's giving

Okay so I take it back this parade is amazing. Massive turnout every city to tell Trump to go fuck himself and meanwhile his big weird dictator parade is attended by two dozen rednecks, some people out for a picnic who don’t understand what’s happening, and a smattering of press.

I've seen better marching at a highschool football game. I guess you can't blame them though, would be hard to march in time with that music choice.

Genie: ok what do you want for your birthday Trump: a military parade, oh, and also millions of people on the street chanting my name Genie: okie dokie

i'm surprised by how low energy and farcical that whole military parade situation was. I was expecting Moscow 1945 and we got Spirit Halloween instead.

It’s time to stand up against the horrors taking place in our government. Here are some horror icons to inspire you. #nokings #finalgirl #horrorcommunity #notyrants #notrump #horror #truehorror #protest #horrormovies #realhorror #riseup #horrorsky

So this week we’ve had a man impersonating an ICE agent tie up a woman and steal $1000; a man impersonating a police officer assassinate a top Democratic politician & her husband (and shoot another Democrat & his wife); and a man impersonating a king hold a military parade for his birthday

They launched a coup, suffered no consequences for it, won back power, and have used the power to pardon everyone involved while remaking the country through violence and intimidation. It’s just ridiculous to talk about the political violence of yelling at ICE agents within that context.

Kristi Noem's vow to "liberate" places which have Democratic political leadership quite possibly instigated a political assassination.

Thank you for pointing this out…

Thank you, @reptedlieu.bsky.social, for doing the right thing and urging everyone to go out & righteously, peacefully exercise our freedom of speech & assembly! I am a constituent and I applaud you and other Democrats when you fight! #DemsGrowASpine #CallYourRep #PGAS CA36 app.sosha.ai/s/6lIZJV7f

I would like my state, every state, to mandate badges, name plates, no masks, for all law enforcement in the state. And if federal agents try to break the mandate, arrest them, then let the courts sort it out.

MN Sen. John Hoffman and Rep. Melissa Hortman, as well as their spouses, were shot by a man impersonating a police officer. No more masks for law enforcement, ICE, anyone. We need to see faces, badges, and judicial warrants EVERY TIME No more unmarked vehicles. www.fox9.com/news/melissa...

THIS is what happens when you even consider pardoning those responsible for attempting to kidnap @GovWhitmer -- the BLOOD is on TRUMP's hands and he must be held accountable. No Kings Day NOW: Manhunt underway after Minnesota lawmaker killed and another injured in ‘politically motivated’ shootings

We’ve truly lost our way in this country. An 80-year-old vet who fought for this country just got arrested protesting Trump‘s parade. He deserves respect, not handcuffs.

We have entered the "The police is saying that if the police is at your door you are not safe call the police immediately" stage of making America great again

A man "impersonating a police officer" does not rule out an actual law enforcement officer. Whenever an Afghan soldier or police officer went rogue, killing Americans in an insider attack, it was described as "a man dressed as an Afghan soldier" or a "man in an Afghan security uniform."

A Democratic Mayor arrested. A Democratic Congresswoman indicted. A Democratic Senator tackled and detained. A Democratic State Representative killed. A Democratic State Representative in critical condition. We can all see where this is going.

‼️‼️

A Democratic legislator gunned down in cold blood . Was it inevitable in Trumps America? Maybe. Was it a product of Trumps America? Certainly.

This is my kind of leader #NoKings

No kings

Jesus. The juxtaposition of these two posts back to back is just...

Framing like this should be considered a form of misinformation. Antisemitism in America in 2025 overwhelmingly emanates from the political right. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/14/o...

Yes, authoritarian regimes curtail civil liberties and target supposed enemies of the state. But they share one more endemic characteristic: Their leaders enrich their already rich friends—and most of all, themselves and their families. Words: ‪@joeconason.bsky.social https://trib.al/U06N7qP

Are some of the accusations about this place being an echo chamber true? Yes. Is the main reason for that because mainstream culture has been infiltrated by Nazis & fascists, & Bluesky has zero patience for fascists? Yes. We won't argue our right to exist or entertain white replacement theory.

Trump just threatened to arrest a sitting governor—for doing his job. No U.S. president has ever tried to arrest a governor for opposing federal policy. If Trump crosses that line, it’s not just politics—it’s the end of democratic rule. My thoughts here: open.substack.com/pub/objectio...

Sen Bernie Sanders (I-VA) just now on CNN: "We have a President moving this country rapidly into authoritarianism. He's suing media who criticize him. He's going after law firms that have clients who were against him. He's suing universities who teach courses he doesn't like"

This would be funny if it weren't so sad.

Truth-tellers, not rioters. Protect these two men at all costs. “You feel tough with your assault rifles and your sticks. You should be standing here with us. You’re on the wrong side of history.” “John Lewis said make good trouble… that means make trouble on behalf of democracy.”

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

cops doing crime on camera. as @chadloder.bsky.social has been pointing out all day, this is totally illegal. cops doing crime. on camera. adjust your stupid headlines accordingly.
