1/ The spectacle of 4000 national guard troops & 700 Marines may be red meat for the MAGA base, but for most everyone else it's a bright warning of 47’s autocratic desires . Rather than quell the protests, he's provoking more, not only in LA but in dozen of cities across the US. No pay wall.

This is what Canada has to be most concerned about. This new monster that is inhabiting the USA will be more dangerous than anything we have seen in half a century.

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... a national guard member described the assignment as “shitty”..compared with wildfire relief or, during the Covid pandemic, vax outreach. “Both of those experiences were uncomplicatedly positive, a contribution back to the community. This is quite the opposite.”

This will have a profound impact on our national security. A very negative impact.

Reached ZERO trade deals. Ended/stopped ZERO wars. Militarized troops AGAINST citizens.

A “criminal” sits in charge of Ontario’s future….a “traitor” sits in charge of Alberta…a “drunk” plays with lives in Saskatchewan…voter apathy is destroying Canada a province at a time. Will we survive?

And assaulting a senator or representative when defending their constituency is attacking democracy, as well as all of the people that person represents. How dare they treat the Senate, Congress, and Californians that way?

This IS a defining moment - march on Saturday #NoKings

Hero - what are YOU doing to defend against enemies domestic @fetterman.senate.gov @repbeatty.bsky.social

This is a BS take - or maybe it makes me realize at last - Dems or Republicans they all want a police state www.nytimes.com/2025/06/12/u...

When someone like Vindman is saying this, things are dark. He’s not posting 4th hand information. Don’t consult your hope when assessing what’s up ahead. It will lead you astray. Base your plans on reality.

Right now there are more U.S. troops deployed to Los Angeles than there are to Syria and Iraq combined.

She is the worst. #USDemocracy

"Americans were promised a crackdown on criminals and are instead watching masked people destroy families."

Nazi Assholes

ICE = American Gestapo

FOX NEWS IS EVEN TURNING ON TRUMP. 🔥

www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-.... Trump is going after his “enemies” namely any Democrat. We are all in danger from the tyrant Trump.

MeidasTouch host @meiselasb.bsky.social gives an official update on the No Kings Protest scheduled for June 14 with the Co-Executive Director of Indivisible Ezra Levin who runs one of the organizations leading the protests. Go to NoKings.org for more info!!!

Maddow: I also feel like there’s not very much about that that I don’t understand. Like, it’s the same everywhere. This is blond Berlusconi, you know what I mean? This is inarticulate Viktor Orbán, right? These guys are all the same. The authoritarian playbook is the same everywhere

Here’s a video of Stephen Miller in high school screaming that he’s “sick and tired of being told to pick up my trash, when we have plenty of janitors who are paid to do it for us.” This is the sociopath shaping our immigration policy and so much more

Chicago, New Jersey and Milwaukee have entered the chat...

Idk man but when the administration that tried to reject humanitarian aid for Los Angeles when it was burning tries to justify their illegal military occupation by saying they aren’t going to let LA burn it kinda sounds like bullshit

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu announced Tuesday that she signed an executive order seeking greater transparency from federal immigration officials. She said the city will submit regular Freedom of Information Act requests to find out who ICE is detaining and on what grounds.

This needs to end with him in prison.

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

LAPD: THEY PUT FLOWERS AT THE FEET OF THE GUARD! FIRE! FIRE! FIRE!

It can happen here. It is happening here.

Damn right 🇲🇽

Bill Clinton is a brave guy in America right now. At a naturalisation ceremony for 38 new citizens he defended immigration as America’s greatest strength. “I don't think we need fewer immigrants. I think we need more." How many would say that?

“This week bids fair to be a low moment in American history, as Donald Trump chooses to reveal himself fully for what he is.” www.thebulwark.com/p/trumps-gro...

If you are outside USA stay far away - we are a police state

It is a disgrace that the Department of Defense continues to post partisan political messages on social media and a disgrace that the DHS Secretary is making political statements about elections from the Oval Office. They piss on this country’s traditions daily. bsky.app/profile/atru...

This man was courageous enough to stand up to Trump and Vance. So it's important to post this message and photo to 27 million people. Don't just "like" it -- that only means that YOU'VE seen it. Postb it, blow it up and get it out there! #SlavaUkraini 🇺🇦
