BREAKING: US Marines deployed to Los Angeles have carried out the first known detention of a civilian, the US military confirms. It was confirmed to Reuters after they shared this image with the US military.

I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Sound familiar?

"The HHS document says that another paper it cites found 'an increase in placental blood clotting in pregnant mothers who took the vaccine.' But the paper doesn't contain any reference to placental blood clots or to pregnant women." www.npr.org/2025/06/13/n...

WATCH: “I WAS AN INTERPRETER IN AFGHANISTAN FOR 3 YEARS.” ICE grabs a man whose name they don’t even know at his immigration hearing, shackles him, expedites his removal. Q: Why would anyone ever help our military again? — Trump is endangering and weakening our military.

And just like that, U.S. forces are involved.

Spotted in Houston today

Ah yes, nothing says “tough guy” like hiding your face behind a mask while bullying unarmed people. But this response gives me life…

If the United States saw what the United States is doing in the United States, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.

History will not be kind to Speaker Johnson. Nor should it be.

At the brink of war, our military is being led by an incompetent drunk. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tUo...

"i call for the immediate firing of kristi noem as well as suspension of the agents who attacked our senator, pending their firing as well. i call for a full withdrawal from los angeles and the senate will cease to do business until our demands are met."

""It's really hard to fathom that the guy making my pizza for 25 years is a gangster and a terrorist, and the person who shows up in an unmarked car wearing a mask and body armor comes to take him away is somehow the good guy," said Simon..." www.wnep.com/article/news...

okay but the thing about the CIA is that the mythology of the agency belies the reality, which is that for much of its existence it was a rubber room for WASP failsons and their operations reflect this

Proud Boys using the messaging app Telegram called for violence against No Kings protestors who disrupt tRump's parade. Descriptions included murdering No Kings protestors with guns and also impaling them.

Kristi Noem has that rare ability to shoot her dog in the face and it *still* not be the worst thing she ever did in her sorry, lying life.

New Yorkers scream out each officer’s lawsuits against them for excessive force and more upon their city, right to their faces while protesting.

Read these words from Senator Murray, who has said it so well tonight. We’re in danger of losing democracy. Don’t ignore what’s happening. joycevance.substack.com/p/we-are-a-d...

Boebert: What we’re seeing in LA is an insurrection Pritzker: You don’t know understand what insurrection is. It is outrageous that you are asking that when you are the one condoning the pardoning of people that attacked police.

“OMG they’re rioting in L.A.!!” Meanwhile, in the beautiful landscape that is Nuestra Señora de Los Angeles. 💙

Newsom: "The notion that the US active duty Marines, these heroes, would be used to militarized the streets of an American city is an abomination. The Founding Fathers did not live and die to see that happen in this country for no reason whatsoever than vanity."

"You have Secretary Noem, who is charged with 250,000 agents around the country, and she cannot de-escalate a basic press conference." ICE, ICE Barbie www.rawstory.com/noem-padilla...

This week, Rick's Elephant in the Room is twofold -- 1) no f*cking kings, and 2) the United States military belongs to its citizens. WATCH FULL EPISODE: youtu.be/dlRhHTFZEt4?...

The "I'll lower costs and get us out of endless wars" candidate is now presiding over surging costs and brand new wars.

It’s not a game, dipshit.

SEN. PADILLA: “Saying I lunged is a lie, but that’s par for the course for this administration… I was behind the cameras listening, and at a certain point hearing Noem say they had to rescue LA from the Governor and Mayor was too much to take. So I raise my voice to ask a question.”

Newsom: "He's been a stone cold liar about what he said we talked about. He never discussed the National Guard. Period. Full stop. I would love to share with you what he actually talked about. It would send shivers up your spine."

The L.A. protesters have really gone too far this time… 🌼

ICYMI — “LIE!!” Dems heckled Speaker Johnson as he tried to put all the blame on Senator Padilla

Tomorrow, we will be demonstrating across this country against our wannabe king and his decision to destroy the constitutional rights that Americans fought long and hard to secure. We will show solidarity — and we will do it peacefully. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/tomorrow-is-no-kings-day

I encourage people protesting to be non destructive and non violent. And I remind: Proud Boys like infiltrating crowds, whipping up normies (this is what happened on 1.6) and creating chaos. Putting you, using your 1a, in peril. Distinguish yourself from these goons always. Heads on swivels, folks.

"They took her in a car, in essence kidnapping her ... I met another young woman whose husband has quite literally disappeared" -- Newsom shares harrowing details of specific cases of ICE terrorizing immigrants in California

I have no idea what he’s talking about when he says “Iranian Empire”. Is he talking about the Persian Empire from 2,500 years ago?

Worth remembering.

I’m not sure USA has ever faced such a moment. Wholly unprepared to deal with calamity on the world stage. We have a Putin ass-kisser at Sec of State, a drunk at Pentagon and a dipshit asshole sitting in the Oval Office Adderall tweeting. He pulled out of Iran deal, lethal moron.

Enten: How many people watched Gavin Newsom's speech on just YouTube alone? Over 3 million folks. Joe Rogan, his average podcast episode over the last month has averaged only 1.6 million YouTube views, so Newsom's speech.. very, very popular.

Listening to the asshole @SpeakerJohnson just blame Senator Padilla makes a few things clear. 1st - He uses God and religion to justify lying. 2nd - IT IS TIME FOR A NATIONAL STRIKE. AMERICANS SHOULD CALL IN SICK AND SHOULD STOP SPENDING MONEY ON ANYTHING BUT NECESSITIES.

clip from the AP live stream of Padilla's remarks... "If this is how the Department of Homeland Security responds to a senator with a question, you can only imagine what they're doing to farm workers, to cooks, to day laborers... We will hold this administration accountable."

NEW: 12 masked armed men try to enter a homeless shelter without saying who they are. ICE agents park outside an elementary school, sparking fear and a car accident. Local police respond to a call about a possible assault, only to find ICE. Inside one day on LI: theintercept.com/2025/06/13/i...

On 6/12, DHS Sec’y Kristi Noem said “We are staying here to liberate [LA] from the socialists and the burdensome leadership this governor and mayor have placed on this country and this city.” This use of military force to displace a democratically elected is the very definition of a coup.
