EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin is preparing to roll back rules that limited mercury, lead, and arsenic emissions from coal plants, protections designed to safeguard brain development and prevent heart and respiratory disease.

We feed you. They hunt us.

Here’s a shot from the war torn streets of Hollywood.

Foster Children Removed for Deportation 😢

California Governor Gavin Newsom’s office posts a video of Emperor Palpatine reciting Donald Trump’s Truth Social post about L.A. via @swholocron.bsky.social

The fact an American President got members of the military to boo American citizens should send chills through everyone. There's going to be a rump of the military that's prepared to do whatever he wants.

WATCH: “Holy f*ck — They literally just shot her point blank… I live here…” @lapdhq shoot a woman trying to get to her apartment at point blank range with a rubber bullet. Alexandria’s page (the woman who helps her): www.tiktok.com/@labyrinthlo...

Gavin Newsom - If some of us can be snatched off the streets without a warrant, based only on suspicion or skin color, then none of us are safe. Authoritarian regimes begin by targeting people who are least able to defend themselves. #cdnpoli

No fat soldiers. Only one fat wannabe Dictator.

Sending support and pride from the Castro in San Francisco. 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍🌈 Together we will persevere! 🏳️‍🌈

Newsom: "Democracy is under assault before our eyes. This moment we have feared has arrived. He's taking a wrecking ball to our Founding Father's historic project."

MSNBC correspondent in the heart of LA… @MarshaBlackburn @RepOgles @RepTimBurchett guessing the Fox fear fest pipe you’re hitting all day long isn’t showing y’all this…

@pelosi.house.gov: "On January 6th...we begged the president of the United States to send in the National Guard. He would not do it...And yet, in a contra-constitutional way, he has sent the National Guard into California. Something is very wrong with this picture."

A forgone conclusion, but an outrage nonetheless. This case will not end well for the department of justice. bsky.app/profile/marc...

WATCH: @chrislhayes.bsky.social reacts to the Wall Street Journal reporting that Stephen Miller ordered ICE agents to target Home Depots and 7-Elevens.

This is my friend's video from Santa Ana, CA in OC. The Santa Ana PD had this situation totally under control. It was peaceful. Then ICE came in to provoke & attack. ICE is a terrorist secret police Gestapo-style band of thugs, posers, mercenaries & miscreants Speak up Call Congress: 202-224-3121

The Mayor of LA has issued a curfew tonight — not because the citizens are out of control BUT BECAUSE THE PRESIDENT IS.

Newsom: This Saturday, he's ordering our American heroes, the United States military, and forcing them to put on a vulgar display to celebrate his birthday, just as other failed dictators have done in the past

Billionaires are consolidating around Cuomo because they know he will preserve the broken status quo. New Yorkers are rallying behind our campaign because they're ready for change. In two weeks, we will shock the political establishment and win a city we can all afford.

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.

House and Senate leaders should demand resignations from both Major General Pat Work, the 82nd Airborne Division commander, and Colonel Chad Mixon, the Fort Bragg garrison commander. This was possibly the most partisan speech ever delivered by a commander-in-chief to U.S. troops.

His speech at Fort Bragg today should send shivers down the spines of every patriotic American. Gearing up to use the military against American citizens in cities everywhere.I cannot believe how fast the fascism is coming.

I LOVE MY HOMETOWN.

This indictment is no more justified than the original charges. I will not be intimidated. My full statement:

This happened live on the show today. Independent journalist Jorge Ramos caught up with a pregnant U.S. citizen who told us she was roughed up and arrested by federal agents during a detainment near Los Angeles. Watch!

🇺🇦 Never Forget the Heroes 🌻🙏 Today, Ukraine marks the Day of Remembrance and Victory over Nazism in World War II – a solemn occasion to honor those who gave their lives in the fight against tyranny and oppression.

Tar and feather is a synonym for lynching and Mike Johnson absolutely knows this.

⚠️ FAIR WARNING ⚠️ #Portland #OR Get ready. Spotted yesterday. #PeacefulProtest only.

donOld has OUR TROOPS booing elected officials. This isn't going to end well people. GET ACTIVE.

Thousands of people marching through Lower Manhattan now demanding ICE get out of New York City.

In the photos of ICE hogtying people for deportation I'm seeing a lot of troubling tattoos. On the ICE agents.

#ProudBlue ICE was just spotted in Montebello, CA. They were in Fountain Valley yesterday, which is Orange County. They hit Santa Ana yesterday too. Stay vigilant friends. Protect your friends & family who are in danger.

BREAKING: We're suing Jefferson County, Illinois for putting up a nearly seven-foot-tall monument of the 10 Commandments on the county's courthouse lawn.

ICE raids in all these Southern California cities today. Anaheim, La Mirada, Santa Ana, Bell Gardens, Cathedral City, Hawthorne, San Bernardino, Wilmington, Compton, Cherry Ave., Long Beach, Alhambra, Savers & Tyler St, Riverside, Citrus Av., Fontana, and San Fernando Valley.

ICE appears to confirm that California National Guard are being used to provide security to ICE officers during immigration arrest operations.

They want to intimidate us. They want to separate us. If we allow it, they win and we lose. They want us not to trust each other. If we allow it, they win. We must continue fighting, being united to protect immigrants. - UFW President Teresa Romero www.turnto23.com/news/in-your...

CNN reports that around 500 active-duty Marines are being deployed to Los Angeles, while Reuters puts the number at 700. Either way, the U.S. military is being used as a show of force against its own citizens, and he won’t stop at California.

Durbin to Bhattacharya: "I can't understand it. I disagree w/ this admin on so many things. But this is the one that really gets to me personally. To think this nation would walk away from medical research. For God's sake...cancer, your budget requests a 38% cut to the National Cancer Institute"

Last night, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. abruptly dismissed all 17 members of the federal vaccine advisory committee. “It’s a massive story in terms of the implications of where this may be going,” Jack Blanchard says on #playbookpod, “Everyone knows RFK Jr.’s stance on vaccines.” 🎧 ow.ly/GJCP50W6UzG
