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.

A federal judge has issued a preliminary injunction restricting how the Department of Government Efficiency can access Office of Personnel Management databases.

The Marine Corps unit placed on prepare-to-deploy orders is the 2nd Battalion, 7th Marines, an infantry unit based in Twentynine Palms, California, according to a defense official.

Rainy Sunday

Another kingly decree from the regime: Thou Shalt Not Wear Face Coverings. No idea who the hell he thinks he is to decree this. And remarkable that he would deign to say this at all, when all of his far-right pseudo-paramilitary forces wear masks and his ICE troopers are wearing them against SOP.

Cuteness that never ends. #cats #russianblue #russianbluecats

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.”

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.

Facts: - Governor Gavin Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass both publicly stated they did not request National Guard assistance. - Under normal circumstances, National Guard deployment requires state approval unless the Insurrection Act is invoked, which Trump has not done.

Thank you!! 💚✊ We asked you to record everything, photos, videos, all of it, and you showed up. You helped us capture the truth. So proud of every one of you. Tomorrow, there will be more of us. We love you all!

The National Guard has arrived in Los Angeles, but they were not requested by California. Both Governor Newsom and Mayor Bass made it clear that the state did not authorize or want federal troops deployed.

This just keeps getting more upside down. Steve Bannon says he’s advising Trump to cancel all of Elon’s federal contracts and launch multiple investigations into the world’s richest man.

Sorry to step away from the catfight, but we’ve got a win! A federal judge has temporarily blocked the Trump administration’s attempt to dismantle AmeriCorps halting the termination of grants and its volunteer network!

Stop attacks on America’s public places. Keep public lands in public lands, for the benefit of all Americans. Tell your Senators.

Recent reports say the Pentagon has told participating soldiers to bring their sleeping bags and bunk in government offices & warehouses. As @winwithoutwar.bsky.social notes even veterans groups now warn that the June 14 event is likely to be all about Trump. www.198methods.org/2025/05/26/t...

🧵This is climate terrorism. Republicans don't care that solar & wind energy power millions of homes & provide hundreds of thousands of US jobs, mostly in red states. Trump & his thug regime serve the rich oil barons. They're going to drag us back to coal and the 1890s.
