“Democracy is under assault right before our eyes,” Newsom warned. “The moment we’ve feared has arrived. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Idiocracy was a documentary.

Pam Bondi doesn't answer questions about what the legal threshold is for the administration invoking the Insurrection Act

May the anti-ICE movement continue to spread nationwide! This is the Los Angeles spirit your news broadcast isn’t showing…

Double.

BREAKING: A few minutes ago, a vehicle of three people was rammed by a truck belonging to federal immigration authorities in Boyle Heights, CA. According to security footage shown to me, they deployed chemical munitions & detained the driver at gunpoint. All are US citizens according to the wife.

🚨BREAKING: Georgia Supreme Court STRIKES DOWN four State Election Board rules concerning certification and hand counting ballots last year. A big victory for GA voters and a stinging defeat for the RNC and election deniers. www.democracydocket.com/cases/georgi...

CNN’s Jason Carroll was zip-tied and escorted away—for reporting the news. But they claimed he wasn’t under arrest? Why are they shooting rubber bullets at and silencing journalists? We still have a First Amendment.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem called Los Angeles a “city of criminals” and not a city of immigrants. But like its name, Los Angeles is a city of angels. We protect and look out for one another, especially the most vulnerable.

The folks hollering about “family values” are out here tearing families apart with unlawful ICE raids, militarized police, & the weaponization of government. All while ripping away food & healthcare from working-class families. Are the family values in the room with us?

👏👏👏

Know your rights.

I think we’ve found the source of the violence

Newsom: "Arrest me. Let's just get it over with, tough guy. I don't give a damn ... Tom, arrest me. Let's go."

"In our federal system, the National Gov. possesses only limited powers; the States and the people retain the remainder. The States have broad authority to enact legislation for the public good—what we have often called a 'police power.' The Fed. Gov., by contrast, has no such authority."-SCOTUS '14

If you haven't heard about the documents that Judge Xinis just unsealed in the Abrego Garcia case, it's your lucky day. I wrote it up here. Free to subscribe: www.muellershewrote.com/p/newly-unse...

This right here is pure unadulterated hypocrisy. This is the GOP way. The original post is still up, but I took a screenshot just in case the puppy killer decides to delete it. #ProudBlue #ResistanceUnited #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Deploying the National Guard—over the objections of state leaders and local law enforcement—is a dangerous escalation. This isn’t about enforcing law and order, it’s about seizing power and control. Americans won’t tolerate this slide into authoritarianism.

If your response to this video is, “That’s what I voted for”— Fuck you. Fuck you very much. You’re heartless.

Booker: "We have a president who did nothing as people stormed our Capitol, & then when those people who viciously beat police & led to some of their deaths - therefore cop killers - were convicted, he pardoned them. So for him to be talking about responsive law enforcement is hypocritical at best"

One apparent reason why GOP legislators are getting cold feet about proof of citizenship laws for voter registration: They’re worried about disenfranchising their own voters, advocates say. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

What country is this?

Welcome to America, where protesting illegal kidnappings without due process is an insurrection, but attacking the nation’s Capitol is not.

And there you have it. ICE didn't target migrant workers in Kristi Noem's farms or Sarah Huckabee Sanders' meatpacking plants because they wanted to create a riot in LA as a pretext to declaring martial law. They don't care about undocumented migrants, they only care about controlling US citizens.

The hypocrisy of agents of this president who pardoned scores of convicted violent J6 offenders who assaulted law enforcement officers threatening to bring down the hammer on anyone who assaults law enforcement officers during immigration raids Their hypocrisy knows no bounds

Sharing from local organizers - see you there

If you are National Guard or Active Duty military and you are being ordered to violate the constitutional rights of US citizens then this is the number to the GI Rights Hotline. There is support. You don’t have to go through with it. 877-447-4487

Video from about an hour ago as less than lethal rounds are being used against protesters in Southern California

The protesters, in Paramount today, were able to stop ICE from taking people at HomeDepot. They were pelted wiyh rocks as they fled.

At the ICE raid and subsequent community resistance in Paramount, California this morning, this skater kid ate dozens of munitions from Border Patrol agents, walked away slowly and flipped them off.

The federal government is moving to take over the California National Guard and deploy 2,000 soldiers. That move is purposefully inflammatory and will only escalate tensions.

NEW: The tactic has been used by autocrats the world over — including in Turkey, Hungary and El Salvador — to erode perceptions of the courts’ legitimacy and weaken the rule of law. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Silence Is Complicity Straighten your spine Speak & live your truth

Pete Hesgeth — who wants to rename the Navy ship that honors Medgar Evers, a WWII veteran who landed on Omaha Beach — is using that same beach for a photo op in which he promises we will “never forget” the veterans there. What an unbelievable asshole.

We can't afford cancer care for veterans, school lunches for kids or Meals on Wheels for seniors because Trump is spending: • $1 billion to retrofit a hand-me-down Qatari plane • $330,000,000 to play golf • $100,000,000 to build a new ballroom • $92,000,000 for a birthday parade But DOGE

In every movement, there are moments when we celebrate and there are moments when we fight. This year, for pride season, we recommit to the crucial fight for 2SLGBTQIA+ rights, alongside of and on behalf of rainbow community Steelworkers. More at: usw.ca/our-pride-is...

one thing about americans, we will make our own lives worse and more expensive if it means a group we think is “undeserving” gets punished

Just a reminder…#Resist

I couldn’t share the audio but those are his exact words in quotes. Not taken out of context.

Something else in common…the descendants are still told they don’t belong. We should be united ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼

Trigger warning ⚠️ ICE hits protestor with car in LA today. This fucking administration is out of control. CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES CALL YOUR SENATORS ☎️ 202-224-3121 They need to be accountable!

Q: You mentioned he had involvement in a murder and was connected with groups involved in a smuggling ring. But the only charges he's facing right now are human smuggling? BONDI: He's charged with very serious charges of alien smuggling

So Harvard must follow Trump’s DEI ban—but they also must admit more conservative students. That’s laughable. Students from red states won’t be able to compete with students from the real world when they’re being taught the Bible is a history book and enslaved people were “happy workers”.
