Arrests have begun against MAGA supporters making online threats. Our team is monitoring local news post and taking screenshots of violent comments, we’ll make sure they reach the proper authorities. If you see something, say something.

The head of FEMA’s disaster command center, responsible for coordinating the national response to earthquakes, floods, and other emergencies, has submitted his resignation.

House Republicans passed a bill that would claw back $1.1 billion from public broadcasting, including NPR and PBS, and $8.3 billion for foreign assistance programs.

The budget that Congress is considering would be a disaster for workers. It would kick 16 million people off their health insurance and raise prices for everyone else, gut SNAP food assistance and more. No wonder the budget’s supporters can't defend it.

Across the country, America’s unions peacefully stood in solidarity with @seiuca.bsky.social President David Huerta & showed that if you come for one of us, you come for all of us. The labor movement will keep mobilizing until all our union siblings are home. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

A wasteful $45 million birthday military parade does nothing to help working families.

Let this sink in. Even the Los Angeles Police Chief, Jim McDonnell, made it clear: the people protesting immigration raids were not the ones causing violence. During a Sunday evening press conference, McDonnell condemned the violence as “disgusting”

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!
