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. ✊🌙💚

In a conversation with ABC News, we discussed the role of Russian military bloggers in the context of Operation Spiderweb and their involvement in the Russian online space:

Judging by the scenes of tear gas and ICE vehicles ramming a crowd in LA, Miller got his wish. I hope he chokes on it.

Being the competent person in people's lives means you start the week by clearing a garden because you're the only person who's willing to do it and ending the week dealing with an overflowing washing machine because you're the only person willing to do it

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.

Just like in the parks, safety comes first. - Stay with your group - Follow the signs (or in this case, the facts) - Leave no one behind - Document everything - Don’t engage alone

Beware the “extreme centrists” who think the fix for what’s wrong is doing more of what we have been doing all along except more efficiently and fast

1/ If accurate, this is almost certainly a conflict with the Posse Comitatus Act, which prohibits the use of the military for domestic law enforcement, including the National Guard if they are federalized.

NEW: Lawyers for Abrego Garcia have asked Judge Xinis to consider the CRIME-FRAUD EXCEPTION to the government's privilege assertions in discovery. Plus, NEWLY UNSEALED DOCUMENTS. I don't think contempt is off the table yet. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/newly-unse...

The Border Patrol can go fuck themselves as well.🖕

GOP State Sen. Ileana Garcia, founder of Latinas for Trump, condemns Trump’s mass-deportation campaign: “As the state senator who represents her district and the daughter of Cuban refugees, who are now just as American, if not more so, than Stephen Miller, I‘m deeply disappointed by these actions..

As the federal government conducts chaotic immigration sweeps across the country, the state is deploying additional CHP to maintain safety on Los Angeles highways to keep the peace. It's not their job to assist in federal immigration enforcement.

Oh lordy, our country is in deep shit trouble. And the rest of the world hates us. 🤦‍♀️

Stephen Miller is fulfilling his high school wet dream of terrorizing all the Brown people in Los Angeles. My daughter's friends who went to SaMo High with him said he used to seethe while the morning announcements were repeated in Spanish. Hell, they did that when I went there. (Mesozoic age.)

Feels like we are dangerously close to US military firing on US citizens

Given this administration’s willingness to assert crazy emergency powers, the threat to SpaceX is real.

A reminder tonight: “Be reflective if you must be armed. If you carry a weapon in public service, God bless you and keep you. But know that evils of the past involved policemen and soldiers finding themselves, one day, doing irregular things. Be ready to say no.” Timothy Snyder “On Tyranny”

"If you have the courage to speak, we are saved. If you fall silent, the country is doomed." Scott Pelley had some strong words to share on tonight's CNN special after the telecast of "Good Night, and Good Luck." I wrote up the highlights here >>> www.cnn.com/2025/06/07/m...

Better safe than sorry… 🚨Heavy ICE Presence Expected in Los Angeles on Sunday. A bilingual warning is being shared with the community — including areas to avoid. Stay alert. Protect each other. Know your rights.

ICYMI — ICE DIRECTOR: “These are real people with real families you’re hurting.” He says this not about immigrants… but about ICE agents. A record-setting lack of self-awareness.

ICE is working extra hard today to show us that they are nothing like the Gestapo.

For the love of god plz SOMEONE in the White House pool report on the legal authority invoked in this memorandum

Ah yes, send armed militants to attack your own citizens. That will surely get your country to respect you.

HAPPENING NOW: Protesters are not backing down in their clash with ICE agents over raid operations in the Los Angeles area 📍Paramount, CA

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.

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

Law Professor @rgoodlaw.bsky.social catches DOJ in a contradiction in the Abrego Garcia case. A major one.

Eid Mubarak! Wishing every Californian observing Eid al-Adha to enjoy a time of faith, peace, and joy.

Thinking about the “no foreign policy experience ” criticism lobbed at every female presidential candidate ever and realizing, is it…is it because girls don’t play with GI Joes?

VARNEY: 8,000 manufacturing jobs were lost in May. That's not what you wanted to see. CHAVEZ-DeREMER: Well, we're certainly holding steady. VARNEY: But how could we're losing those jobs? CHAVEZ-DeREMER: Well, we're certainly holding steady.

I just can't get over this photo of the 22-year old former gardener and "cross functional team mate" at a Texas supermarket that is now heading a counter-terrorism centre in the Department of Homeland Security. That raised eyebrow is just 👌 www.thedailybeast.com/donald-trump...

Here is the full indictment. I also listened to Pam Bondi's press conference. They allege that he was involved in a lot of very serious crimes and reference multiple "co-conspirator" statements (likely jailhouse informants). Notably, however, he's only *charged* with the TN traffic stop incident.

Justice Dept.’s Inspector General to Move to the Federal Reserve Michael E. Horowitz, one of the few major watchdogs spared from a purge by President Trump, will also hunt for abuses at the Consumer Financial Protection Board — a Trump target. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/06/u...

We live in the best country on earth because of our veterans, and we owe them a profound debt of gratitude. @principlesfirst.bsky.social is proud to support our veterans and stand with @unite4vets.bsky.social 🇺🇸

I hope they never stop tweeting. My god.

The Jonathan Joss story is so hideous that every time you look at it again, it gets worse. Stay safe, look out for each other. The worst of us have been weaponized and approved by the worst people in power.
