oh boy, had my own very liberal father ask if everything was OK in LA. That tells you how bad the media is covering this. I'm literally going to an Emmy event for The Last of Us tonight. Gyms are open. People are going to the movies and hiking in Griffith Park. Don't need no Marines.

“.. outbound travel from Australia to the U.S. is down by nearly 18%. That decline is steep—especially considering Australians were once among the highest-spending international tourists in America.” 🇦🇺 www.travelandtourworld.com/news/article...

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

BREAKING: LA solidarity protesters in Austin are occupying JJ Pickle Federal Building, which houses local ICE processing center

We’re deeply disappointed in much of the U.S. media. Grateful, however, to international journalists who are telling the truth.

Absolutely grotesque abuse of government power. Lying to educators in order to entrap children. No wonder they want to hide their identity.

CNN captures LAPD forming a line before charging at protesters and firing at them

Other countries have agency & domestic politics, too 🇨🇦

RFK Jr.‘s extreme anti-vax views — and his related conflicts of interest — were a huge problem during his confirmation process. So he promised not to change the vaccine advisory panel. Today, he fired every single expert on that panel. It's a public health disaster.

Like this? Noem is a disgrace. An utter and absolute disgrace. My God.

At this rate there will be more troops than Angelenos on the city’s streets, which may be what the administration has in mind, but Americans seem to increasingly understand the importance of the peaceful exercise of their First Amendment rights.

Right now, Dems are hiding in their offices, scrolling their phones fearfully, wondering "how are voters going to feel about the National Guard being deployed?" The right, meanwhile, is vigorously *attempting to shape* how voters feel about it, filling every medium with coordinated propaganda.

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.

Trump admin. attacking country it leads. Breaking up families, handcuffing children, cutting nutrition & health, wrecking the dollar,stopping research to stop early death,firing ALL experts in vaccines and using our military against us. USA has autoimmune disease..our country turning on itself.

No Tax on Tips may pass but you won’t have any health care as the ‘Big Beautiful Bill‘ begins dismantling the ACS. Ultimately the working poor and middle class will end up worse #KillTheBill

A coalition of environmental groups and researchers released a draft plan Thursday aiming to harness federal funding and state relationships to protect the Ohio River — Middle and East Tennessee are part of the Ohio River Basin — from pollutants and habitat destruction.

Gov. Newsom is inarguably cooking on the socials

“The possible arrival of federal military forces in Los Angeles-absent clear coordination-presents a significant logistical and operational challenge for those of us charged with safeguarding this city.” - LAPD Chief (who was not notified)

remember when Cuomo sent thousands of active Covid cases back to nursing homes, causing the deaths of like 6k people, and then covered it up?

What Trump is doing in California is right out of the authoritarian playbook. Violence is never acceptable — period. But people have the right to peaceful protest. Trump needs to let local law enforcement do its job and stop adding fuel to the fire for his political spectacle.

New from me: Texas quietly downsizes border security spending—mainly for state border wall—though still remains above pre-OLS levels www.texasobserver.org/texas-quietl... @texasobserver.org

If you are National Guard or Active Duty military and you are being ordered to violate the Constitutional rights of US citizens then this is the number to the GI Rights Hotline. There is support, you don't have to go through with it. ☎️ 1-877-447-4487 From #veterans to #activeduty personnel.

AYMAN: Should ICE be abolished? Rep. Adriano Espaillat: "I think it should be dramatically reformed. ... They should be unmasked. No one should be anonymous when they're enforcing the law."

A federal program to protect US cities against extreme heat has just evaporated

“Ending a $5 million research study when it is 80% complete does not save $1 million,” it says, “it wastes $4 million.”

The LAPD Chief has weighed in on Marines being deployed. Basically: Why is this necessary?

Newsom: Just moments ago, they called up an additional 2,000 National Guard troops. So now it’s 4,000 total—of which only 300 have actually been operationalized. And guess what? Yesterday, LAPD had to use their already scarce resources to protect those National Guardsmen and women…

MSNBC: Does everyone who has been arrested by ICE agents have a criminal record? TOM HOMAN: Absolutely not.

Independent journalism is when you can write what Terry Moran wrote without getting in trouble. Corporate journalism is when you can’t. It’s why many left the latter for the former. I understand the rationale behind corp journalism rules, I’m just glad they don’t apply to me

A man released from prison after serving less than a year of his five-year sentence for a series of road-rage attacks in Southern California has been arrested again for a similar offense in Honolulu, Hawaii. https://abc7.la/44xXrx4

Woodland Hills and Burbank broke high temperature records on Friday, NWS says https://abc7.la/42Pxfgb

At no point in this entire article of 16 paragraphs does ABC mention that another cop killed this cop by shooting her in the back. Nor does it mention the name of the cop who killed this cop. Nor does it mention that the civilians involved never fired at them. ABC might as well be state media.

I'd *like* to be extremely concerned about the marines being deployed to an American city and the scientific committee that determines vaccine schedules being disbanded, but I'm gonna hold off until the Distraction Knowers give the okay

“I want to make a special appeal to soldiers, national guardsmen, and policemen: each of you is one of us. The peasants you kill are your own brothers and sisters. When you hear a man telling you to kill, remember God’s words, ‘thou shalt not kill.’” Óscar Romero, El Salvador, March 23, 1980.

“Health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has taken the extraordinary step of firing the expert panel that advises the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, saying the action is needed to restore faith in vaccines.” www.statnews.com/2025/06/09/r...

If Trump can claim a "national emergency" to disappear legal residents without due process, what’s to stop him from doing the same to U.S. citizens who oppose him? No one is safe — not even people legally in the country, possibly not even American citizens. Fascism is here.

We cannot continue to just “wait and see” with this. This moment requires a fast and overwhelming response from all healthcare organizations & professionals. We cannot practice safe medicine when a conspiracy theorist takes over and upends our vital institutions.

Invasion. Why are we not describing what Whiskey Pete ordered the Marines to do (without the benefit of any babysitter--the dude has no handlers, much less competent ones) as an invasion?

www.thenation.com/article/poli... This really needs to be spread around for everyone to read and understand. There are local elections every year that matter. Americans need to vote.

JUST IN: California has officially sued the Trump administration to rescind the deployment of the national guard over the objection of Gov. Gavin Newsom. The lawsuit: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

🧵

After only five months in office, Trump has transformed the Department of Justice into an instrument for voter suppression. This should come as no surprise. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/the-...
