Deploying the military on U.S. soil as law enforcement against Americans was on page 555 of Project 2025. So don’t say “I didn’t vote for this,” because you did. This isn’t a response. This was always their plan.

ABC suspended reporter Terry Moran for a now-deleted tweet calling Stephen Miller a “world class hater.” They said it violates their standards. Here’s a thought…maybe your standards should allow calling out white nationalism and hate when you see it.

All this because fucking Stephen Miller hates brown people. All this nonsense just to deport people working as roofers, tradesmen, busboys, cooks, waiters, etc.

Nothin but the facts

Otterly hilarious.

If you see any member of law enforcement act in a way you believe to be inappropriate, illegal, unjust, unkind… be a good witness. Record what you can safely (and without making yourself the focus of their attention). Note all the little details. Report it. That’s how you increase accountability.

The National Guard has arrived in Los Angeles, but they were not requested by California. Both Governor Newsom and Mayor Bass made it clear that the state did not authorize or want federal troops deployed.

FOTUS is deploying the military to attack citizens who are peacefully protesting. Just like millions of us will be doing for NO KINGS Day next Saturday. He is using this tactic to scare us. No way! We will not be deterred. See you on the streets America! #FOTUSIsACriminal

@raskin.house.gov Yo, is setting the US Military against US Citizens under false pretenses considered ripe attributes for charges of Treason to be drawn against the US President?

Is there a news network that will show courage like CBS did during the McCarthy hearings? Is there? Or are they all cowering in their posh offices worried about stock options and mergers?

Jesus tits.

It’s obvious but worth drawing out what raids of Home Depot’s of all places is about. It’s rounding up people who are really eager for work and for whom there is work, peoples whose labor is in demand. We know this but shows just how far it is from rounding up just the bad guys.

What we are seeing now in the US has been the reality for everyone who is not white for the entirety of our existence as a nation. When you as a white person say "its never been like this"? What you are effectively saying is "its never been like this for white people" & thats why you are upset

There was NO MANDATE to gut cancer research. There was NO MANDATE to gut the National Weather Service. There was NO MANDATE to terrorize our communities with ICE thugs. There was NO MANDATE to make a felon a king.

My dad, who has lived under a dictatorship, knows one when he sees one. His first text this morning is that we are now officially in a dictatorship. It is all pretty grim.

These militarist ICE raids are the actual government oppression that right wingers dreamed was happening during Covid. They are not up in arms like they were about masking, go figure.

Thank you!! 💚✊ We asked you to record everything, photos, videos, all of it, and you showed up. You helped us capture the truth. So proud of every one of you. Tomorrow, there will be more of us. We love you all!

@governor.ca.gov You going to do anything about ICE abducting and attacking people in Paramount and LA today? We are at war here.

There is NO mandate for mass deportations of our friends and neighbors in our communities. There is NO mandate for invasion of ICE assholes into our cities and states. There was NO mandate for the evil orange felon. NONE. So sick of this bullshit.

ICE is a much greater threat to this country than illegal immigrants. The current administration ia by far the greatest threat this country faces. The problem is not st our borders. It is in the White House.

@michelemanziano.bsky.social The head of the National Guard, the Chief of the National Guard Bureau, General Steven S. Nordhaus, has stated that the National Guard will not follow illegal orders. This is consistent with the principle that military personnel are obligated to disobey unlawful orders

I notice people calling what we’re seeing these last couple of days “riots.” I was here during the 1992 Los Angeles riots. That’s not what this is. Local police can handle this, but ICE needs to back off—especially with these amateur hires who don’t know what the f*ck they’re doing.

The most critical thing I've learned in my 60 years and my six years as governor is that there's almost nothing more important than showing up. Like I told the graduates at Knox College, be generous with your time — showing up is a meaningful thing that only you can do.

Pride Month is a time to celebrate and remember all the activists sand trailblazers who have fought for LGBTQ+ rights and the progress we have made. But the fight is far from over. I'm proud to reaffirm my commitment to protecting the rights of LGBTQ+ Americans.

The most fundamental characteristic of fascism is its cult of violence. Where there is no pre-existing violence to exploit, violence must be manufactured.

Reports and video show flash-bangs thrown into piles of debris just before a car caught fire, strongly suggesting it was law enforcement, not protesters, who sparked it. More details are coming. Don’t let them control the narrative. Thank you to everyone sharing footage, always record everything.

Every Member of Congress responsible for LA County needs to be onsite at the MDC today - ceo.lacounty.gov/wp-content/u...

there's something happening here what it is, is pretty fuckin clear

The world is watching. And we have friends everywhere. Upload everything, every moment. Don’t give them the chance to twist the truth. We have people on the way to help. You’re not alone. ✊🌙💚

The military isn’t being employed to carry out an immigration policy. The immigration policy, and especially the way the administration is choosing to carry it out, is an excuse to call out the military.

Besides everything else, events in L.A. demonstrate just how cowardly ICE is.

413% this. No more "we're only looking forward" bullshit.

They’re not behaving as if they’re in a four-year term. They’re behaving as if they’re in an everlasting dictatorship. Are we all clear on this?

This is about taking power and control away from governors. If he is able to do this with something so important and fundamental to governors as control of their Guard, then there is no limit to what he will do in the future.

By the way a military parade when we’re not celebrating a war victory is something a dude who never served would do.

There it is. Rep. Mike Collins (R-GA) says Republicans’ next goal is to kick seniors off Social Security: “Get off of Social Security. Get back into the workforce.”

I have this one mini rose on the corner of the lot and it is just splendid every year.

YOU FIRST YOU BITCH MOTHERFUCKER

On June 6, 1944, American troops stormed the beaches of Normandy to free the world from Nazi oppression. We continue to honor those heroes who fought to liberate Europe. Now, more than ever, we must recommit to safeguarding democracy and our transatlantic alliances.

Gun violence shouldn't be a fact of life for our kids. Letting this uniquely American issue continue is a choice; inaction is a choice — here in IL, our choice is to save lives. We've banned the sale of assault weapons, expanded background checks, and extended red flag laws.

I just launched a new initiative to develop and implement agriculture-focused workforce training programs. As our farmers face historic uncertainty with tariffs, we’re making sure the next generation of Minnesota farmers have the resources they need to feed the world.

Mary Miller is an idiot. Her constituents deserve better than a representative who: 1. Doesn’t know the difference between a Sikh and a Muslim 2. Doesn’t believe either religious communities deserve religious freedom or representation
