It’s takes a people’s army A really important tool for the frontline is Watch The Watchers. You can look up an LAPD cops name or serial number (found on the back of their riot helmet) to call them out. We have helped many on the ground use this Spread the word watchthewatchers.net

An anti-voting lawsuit filed Friday is demanding full access to Utah’s voter registration list — including records that are private or classified as protected under state law. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

“Modjeska Simkins (b. 1899) was the matriarch of the Civil Rights Movement in South Carolina. She was also a leader in African-American public health and social reform. For her contributions to the struggle for civil rights, Simkins is an American Hero.” www.nps.gov/people/mmsim...

Big win for fans of salmonella: after Pilgrim's Pride donated $5 million to Trump's inaugural fund, the administration rolled back a proposal to keep salmonella in turkey products below certain levels, and to test for new salmonella strains. oversightdemocrats.house.gov/news/press-r...

Here's a march led by MLK Jr in Selma, Alabama in 1965, where protestors took over a bridge. According to Karen Bass, this is a violent protest. www.csmonitor.com/USA/2012/011...

Ted Cruz and James Woods have both shared this video from 2020, claiming it's currently happening in Los Angeles

Deploying the military on U.S. soil as law enforcement against Americans was on page 555 of Project 2025. So don’t say “I didn’t vote for this,” because you did. This isn’t a response. This was always their plan.

Watching the Tony Awards. Cynthia’s first dress was very “Annie”. #TonyAwards

This sounds like a terrible idea. “Starting this fall, every Ohio State student will be asked to use artificial intelligence. “Through AI Fluency, Ohio State students will be ‘bilingual’ — fluent in both their major field of study and the application of AI in that area” @jackiantonovich.bsky.social

Biden wasn't a perfect president, but he never declared war on his own countrymen so we'd forget he was in the Epstein files.

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.

Anderson Cooper & Scott Pelley talk about how corporate news orgs don’t have the support of their corporate overlords to speak truth to power. This is why independent outlets like us exist. Would be great if we didn’t have to. 🤷🏻‍♂️

So honored to be present this morning to celebrate the completion of the Hoofs Run Interceptor AND the dedication of an improved and expanded African American Heritage walk. Seeing Rosa Byrd and Georgia Brown see themselves on the markers, and everyone else see them too, was amazing.

Let’s look at the facts: DHS claimed there were “about 1,000 rioters,” but Reuters couldn’t independently verify that number. Meanwhile, flash-bangs used against peaceful protesters ignited one of the fires captured in widely shared photos.

What happened on January 6th was an insurrection, but Trump didn’t deploy the National Guard because he wanted the insurrection to succeed. What’s happening in LA is NOT an insurrection, but he did deploy the National Guard because he wants an excuse to use the Insurrection Act. Period.

Breaking news for Ben Shapiro (and Stephen Miller, Howard Lutnick and Jared Kushner) about Trump's most loyal supporters, evangelical Christians: "What wisdom does Ben Shapiro have? He's a Jew."

Law pertaining to federalizing a National Guard says that orders for those purposes “shall be issued through the governors of the States”. It’s not immediately clear whether the president can activate national guard troops without the order of that state’s Gov. www.theguardian.com/us-news/live...

The Trump administration and loyalists will throw the word "insurrection" around so that the public will automatically think it applies to the ICE protests in LA. Trump is using an established Nazi propaganda technique to accuse his enemies of what he does. shero.substack.com/p/trump-sets...

We always knew where this was going

👇👇

The Los Angeles Police Department has stated that demonstrations in the city have remained peaceful. Let that sink in.

The Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 prohibits the U.S. military from engaging in domestic law enforcement activities against civilians. The Trump regime wants to use military force against unarmed US citizens.

Very strange.....

Sending 2,000 troops to Los Angeles is the same thing as sending a few dozen random people to a gulag in El Salvador, they're doing this because it's a thing they've always wanted to do, not because of any broader goal or coherent plan. Subordination of strategy to tactical planning.

Just like Project 2025 made clear 3 yrs ago, Trump will use ICE to sow chaos & violence, then send in the Natl Guard under the guise of riots & looting & finally declare martial law to keep power in the #GOP. They told us exactly what they were going to do AND STILL the MSM is NOT reporting it.

There is no rioting. There is no looting. There are only people protesting ICE raids. This is how we lose our democracy.

To expedite the Nazification of America, 'pedo prez' Trump is desperate to have his Reichstag moment where he can declare martial law and order the National Guard to slaughter US citizens in the streets of Los Angeles. Do not be conned into responding with violence. Civil disobedience is the way.

And there you have it. ICE didn't target migrant workers in Kristi Noem's farms or Sarah Huckabee Sanders' meatpacking plants because they wanted to create a riot in LA as a pretext to declaring martial law. They don't care about undocumented migrants, they only care about controlling US citizens.

I always think of this 2018 oral history of Stephen Miller’s high school years, in which almost all his peers remember him as loathsome, racist, oppositional, inaccurate, and constantly playing the victim card lamag.com/politics/ste...

Today is the last day to comment on schedule F, Russ Vought's plan to politicize the civil service, by making many positions political appointments. Please take the time to comment today. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/last-day-t...

Speak up. It’s easy.

🚨🚨🚨 I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x convicted felon & adjudicated rapist Trump did 🚨🚨🚨

But why defund schools? To curate failure — to say that public schools are broken and public school teachers are inept all in a push to privatize public schools. To dumb down the populace. To demonize a system that educates over 90% of kids in this state… open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...

Chapter pre-print by Barbara Oakley and colleagues on how our brains need deep knowledge to support learning. This has been argued in discovery based learning for quite a while, but very relevant given concerns about AI use and growing digital out sourcing. #EduSky #AI Read at osf.io/preprints/ps...
