HAPPENING NOW: Aerial coverage of protesters marching peacefully in LA to protest ongoing ICE raid operations and Trump’s federalization of the National Guard Reporter: “What we’re looking at right now is a quiet, organized group and demonstrators marching peacefully to their destination.”

Hello. I live in Los Angeles. The president is lying.

Wonder what was different the last time a POTUS deployed the National Guard against a Governor's wishes? It was in Alabama, and LBJ deployed the National Guard to PROTECT civil rights protesters. To protect the rights and lives of protesters.

That description really takes your breath away. This is the kind of journalistic integrity we need right now. Threads.

Williams College declines federal research funding because of the Trump administration insistence on omitting DEI language www.science.org/content/arti...

First they illegally deport citizens. Then they unleash ICE to terrorize communities. Now they’ve got the National Guard in L.A. to silence protestors. This ain’t about law and order. This is what authoritarianism looks like.

As soon as your religion enters politics and policy, it is no longer faith, It’s control.

"Tanner, a chemist at the Univ. of Mississippi working to develop a novel approach for treating glioblastoma, was notified in April that the grant was terminated. “I would like to cure brain cancer,” Dr. Tanner said. “I think that's not particularly controversial.” www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

From a week and a half ago: “As of Monday, the model shows, about 96,000 adults and 200,000 children have died because of the administration’s cutbacks to funding for aid groups and support organizations. The overall death count grows by 103 people an hour.” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Breaking: ABC News says senior national correspondent Terry Moran "has been suspended pending further evaluation." This since-deleted tweet is the reason for the suspension:

Sen Bernie Sanders (I-VA) just now on CNN: "We have a President moving this country rapidly into authoritarianism. He's suing media who criticize him. He's going after law firms that have clients who were against him. He's suing universities who teach courses he doesn't like"

TRUMP’S AMERICA: Protesters BEATEN and GASSED in L.A.

Big point that is being missed: without the insurrection act, the activated Guard troops are now federal army and cannot Do law enforcement. Period

Torres: It demonstrates that Trump is not pro-crypto, he’s not pro-blockchain—he’s not even pro-Web3. I doubt he could define any of those terms. He is simply pro-Trump. The only ideology Trump has is himself. His presidency exists to enrich him and his family, and crypto is just a means to that end

Here's the Washington Examiner piece that first quoted Stephen Miller ordering ICE to invade Home Deport a few weeks ago. This makes it clear that Miller himself ordered the escalation that has led to conflict in LA. www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/white-h...

Sharing from local organizers - see you there

BREAKING: Israel’s defense minister has vowed to prevent an aid boat carrying Greta Thunberg and other activists from reaching the Gaza Strip.

Weird how he didn’t call up the National Guard on January 6th.

Reminder that tear gas is a chemical weapon that is illegal to deploy in warfare, yet cops are allowed to blanket civilians in clouds of the stuff.

"A former Afghan National Army soldier in the process of applying for asylum in the U.S. was arrested last month by federal immigration agents at his Houston-area home, according to his attorney, who said the man and most of his family are being threatened with deportation."

Trump Is Ignoring St. Louis’s Devastating Tornado, not approving request for FEMA assistance three weeks after disastrous EF-3 tornado.. eight miles long and a mile wide... hit StL, devastating thousands of residents wordinblack.com/2025/06/trum...

Los Angeles school worker shares frustration over parents having to leave their children’s graduation ceremony because ICE raided an elementary school’s graduation today

St. Louis Board Chair on lack of FEMA response to Tornado that hit StL three weeks ago

ICE waited until a woman’s lawyer went to the restroom then dragged her away. She fainted from stress and they dragged her unconscious body into the elevator, refusing medical attention.

ICE agents or bounty hunters? A raid at Home Depot on Wilshire in Los Angeles earlier today. What’s disturbing is that they’re wearing masks and vests you could buy on Amazon. They’re in unmarked cars, and I don’t see any IDs on the officers — regular SUVs with standard plates.

More of this! SHAME SHAME SHAME!

America did not storm the beaches at Normandy alone on June 6, 1944. We had allies who fought with us. Allies from Britain, Canada, Australia, Belgium, Czechoslovakia, France, Greece, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), and Poland. open.substack.com/pub/charlies...

If a Democratic president cut off one of the red states dependent on federal funding, it would be a political scandal. But cutting off California -- the single biggest "donor state" in the nation, one that sends in to the fed'l gov't ~$80 billion more than it gets back -- is straight-up theft.

www.washingtonpost.com/business/202... Trump administration races to fix a big mistake: DOGE fired too many people Across the government, officials are rehiring federal workers who were forced out or encouraged to resign.

Scenes like this were DIRECTLY caused by Stephen Miller's wailing that ICE can't arrest the number of people he promised they would arrest (bc he lied abt how many criminal aliens there are).
