How now-DHS Secretary Kristi Noem felt about a president potentially federalizing the National Guard one year ago:

This is THE guy to follow for reports from the ground in Los Angeles

Footage from Minneapolis and LA resisting ICE should remind us; there aren’t enough pigs on the planet to put down a working class uprising.

A father screams for his child from a tiny interview room within a basement waiting room inside LA federal building. The space is not a holding area. No food. No water. No diapers. Those initially detained include a 2-year-old US citizen and a woman with high-risk pregnancy.

SINGLE PAYER WOUID •. GIVE SENIORS ADDITIONAL COVERAGE! INCLUDING: VISION, DENTAL, HEARING AND MENTAL HEALTH! EVERYONE IN, NO ONE OUT! CALCARE NOW CALIFORNIA GUARANTEED HEALTH CARE FOR ALL

The most striking thing about the LA protests is how many people just dropped everything to show up and yell at federal agents. There are people in suits, and carrying dogs, and wearing flip flops or bike helmets. These are not people who planned to do this today. But there they are.

Congress is currently debating on a defense budget of over $1,000,000,000,000.00 There are no less than 160 million tax returns filed every year which comes out to $6,250 per tax return just for "DEFENSE".

America's intolerable acts against Californians leave us no choice but to seek our independence. #calexit

Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio tried to give a press conference to announce his lawsuit against DOJ. Much to my surprise it turned out to be the greatest press conference of all-time.

NOW: Protesters march in DTLA after ICE: USED military-style tactics during a series of raids in LA today including: -Kidnapping. -Arresting David Huerta, SEIU Pres, who’s in the 🏥 suffering from injuries. -Running over a protestor w a 🚘 & then driving away. THIS IS DOMESTIC TERRORISM.

Literally the elephant in the room

The disastrous Citizens United decision put a for-sale sign on our democracy and has permitted $15 BILLION in outside spending since 2010. Our campaign finance system is broken, and if we want to fix it, we need to #EndCitizensUnited.

Folks run ICE, FBI, and cops off the streets of Minneapolis

What the hell...Felons performing police duties. We can't get any lower. How disgraceful !

“Is he dead yet?” asked Piglet. “No,” said Pooh. “Fuck,” said Piglet.

Sukhjot Singh "This fierce peregrine mom was patrolling her territory to provide a safe airspace for her newly fledged babies. I thought she was going to attack a few gulls that flew close, but she decided to take a hard right and turn around, offering a rare face-to-face moment with the camera."

TACO is such a toothless attempt by liberals to fight back against Trump. What effect does it actually have? Name calling gets us nowhere. You wanna fight back in a way that matters? Go to protests and do mutual aid with your community. Making Trump seem funny rather than dangerous is a bad move.
