Using active-duty Marines this way sets a dangerous precedent that damages public trust in our military. 
Trump himself said LA is "simmering, but not very much.” 
And yet, he's putting our troops at risk and undermining the democracy each one of them swore to defend.

I refuse to tremble in fear simply because the 200 biggest Nazi freaks to be found at motherfucking Fort Bragg were all in the same TV shot.

Great, the package from GameStop that I thought was my Switch 2 is just the camera I ordered with it. Still no real ETA for the actual console then huh I'm never preordering through them again, jeez

We need to build some real social stigma around being afraid of cities. You don't have to like them or live there, but a politics built this strongly around watching TV and going "ewww" is embarrassing, and people should be embarrassed by it. It's like "fear of werewolves" being your top issue.

The parade is on Saturday, and it would be very, very bad if protesters ruined his special birthday boy parade

Protests help protect people from ICE, but they also help shape public opinion. People don't like the way Trump is handling this, keep up the protests

I've seen a bunch of references to this, but I hadn't seen the post itself until now. The menswear guy intentionally, riskily revealed that he's undocumented—that he's a DREAMer—as an act of public solidarity and witness in the face of our current fascist ascendancy.

Oh, just the leader of congress saying the governor of America's most populous and economic powerful state should be "tarred and feathered."

CNN’s reporter on scene in Los Angeles: I’m being detained..

If you told me I had a choice of a next door neighbor — sight unseen, the most wretched person from the most wretched country in the world, or Charlie Kirk, or Matt Walsh — I would pick the wretched person every single time, because there’s a chance they’re a decent person.

This is 100% the fault of ICE and the Trump admin, which has deliberately incentivized this behavior with their tactics. Their goal is to encourage white nationalist groups to dress up as ICE to attack minorities, and the increase in lookalike crimes is to them an acceptable byproduct.

Ugh ew, no thanks @npr.org I absolutely don't want a 45 minute interview with Dave Portnoy from Up First. Wish I could take back that auto-download

Rep. Maxine Waters calmly attempts to access LA Federal Building to check on David Huerta and is denied, recalling lawless shabby treatment of mayor Ras Baraka and Reps. Bonnie Watson Coleman, Rob Menendez and LaMonica McIver when they attempted to access a NJ ICE facility

#FreeDavidEndRaids rally in Boston. Damn good turnout for less than 24 hours notice.

Today, Boston showed up for SEIU Leader David Huerta. He must immediately be released from custody. “Attacks on immigrants, on workers, and on the rights of WE the PEOPLE to assemble and protest are attacks on democracy itself.”

Pew Pew Bang has been an incredible discovery, these 4 have a great dynamic, they're wicked funny

we’ve got a bunch of parents voluntarily guarding the elementary school gates if you want to know how LA feels this morning

The protests are working.

I think Greta Thunberg is the best example of how there is no way of protesting that will satisfy the scolds. It'll either be called too aggressive or a self-serving publicity stunt.

the hard times doesn't miss @thehardtimesnews.bsky.social

what people seem to believe is that there is a large number of criminal, layabout immigrants who can be easily found and deported. they support doing so snd are dismayed by the deportation of otherwise law abiding people. the problem is that the criminal group is imaginary!

On the left, residents cleaning up their streets. On the right, federalized Guard arriving to quell "violent mobs." You can see some holding their assault rifles. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06...

Worth bearing in mind that illegal entry is a misdemeanor and being unlawfully present in the country is not even a criminal offense, but a civil one. This is the equivalent of saying we need to torch the Constitution & send in the SWAT team to catch jaywalkers & people with overdue library books.

LAPD when they think nobody is watching

Utterly surreal hearing silence during the match instead of being lead by the 3252. Powerful AF. #lafc #abolishice

As someone who lives in Los Angeles, don’t let social or mainstream media gaslight you into thinking there’s a violent uprising taking place here. The Trump administration is trying to punish this state and this city. He’s also setting a precedent to unleash troops on Democratic cities.

Tomorrow is your last day to submit testimony tu support stronger vaccine mandates in Massachusetts. Here’s how:

important note: the LAPD has figured out it can get footage from Waymos: www.404media.co/lapd-publish...

"My name is Greta Thunberg and I am from Sweden. If you see this video, we have been intercepted and kidnapped in international waters by the Israeli occupational forces, or forces that support Israel."

An entire row of waymo self driving cars are being set on fire.

The importance of ther tear gas defuser

I think this is it. Bluesky is bad for grifters and good for actual writers. Who cares about much else if it's actually getting people to read what people are writing?

the decision to "be safe" is no longer yours to make. the state has decided to make us unsafe. but you can make informed choices, take calculated risks, and you can decide to be powerful.
