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.

We’ve uncovered fraud, waste, and abuse! ICE has now exceeded its congressionally approved budget. ICE is violating the Antideficiency Act by spending beyond Congressional authorization.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."  -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

"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

What a rotten reality to have a White House occupant who hates so many Americans and hates everything our democratic nation stands for.

Gavin Newsom and his team are doing a good job at social media. Using comebacks and memes to just straight up murder muffukahs. Pay attention, Dems. This is how it’s done.

"Authoritarian regimes begin by targeting people who are least able to defend themselves "But they DO NOT stop there "Trump is not opposed to lawlessness and violence as long as it serves him "J6!" — CA Governor Gavin Newsom youtu.be/pXQQNUeb4Sw?...

And they took his girlfriend without telling him where they were taking her, and they threw him her phone. So she was kidnapped by lord know who, has no way to communicate. If they were so concerned about being recorded, then why didn’t they seize her phone? Why did they choose her and not him?

The American military that has been deployed to liberate so many people is now being deployed to oppress Americans

By redirecting 20,000 air defence missiles away from Ukrainian defenders the United States is contributing substantially to war crimes committed by Russian invaders against civilians.

I like this idea…

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

I feel like we aren’t making a big enough deal about how insane this is

They are “quelling protests”. Think about that for a moment. Not riots. Not an insurrection. Protests. Protected 1st amendment activity that apparently needs to be “quelled”. Broken Arrow, America.

The federal government is taking over the California National Guard and deploying 2,000 soldiers in Los Angeles — not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle. Don't give them one. Never use violence. Speak out peacefully.

The Los Angeles Police Department has stated that demonstrations in the city have remained peaceful. Let that sink in.

Ahem.

Goldman: Both of the issues Marjorie Taylor Greene raised—were widely publicized and thoroughly debated in committee and on the House floor. If you’re publicly admitting that you didn’t know what you were voting on and now regret it—you’re not competent or qualified to serve in Congress.

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple. Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

The police don’t protect people. The police protect power. That’s why we didn’t want to militarize them.

BEST MEME EVER!!

Yesterday, GOP Senators arrested 8 of their own constituents rather than face questions about their "big beautiful bill." Senators must vote NO on any bill that cuts medicaid, food stamps, or clean energy tax credits to fund tax breaks for billionaires and Big Oil.

For years we've heard from the right about "welfare queens" and other so-called "freeloaders" pulling one over on the government. But actually, it's the wealthy who are the real freeloaders — pulling one over on us all by skirting their taxes. Where is the outrage over that?

Nice shirt!! 😂 Correct answer: d

Is this why we’ve been seeing so many masked, unidentified ICE agents? As of May 29, 2025, ICE has 635 active agreements in 40 states—deputizing local cops to act as ICE. DEMS: Hold hearings. Sanctioned or not, we need answers. ☎️ Call your Senators and Reps now: (202) 224-3121
