Just want to take a moment to shout out the international reporters helping us get the real story out. When an 80-year-old veteran with a walker is hauled off with his hands zip-tied behind his back, and the media spins it as a “threatening breach” of a police barricade

Scenes from yesterday’s No Kings rally in downtown Los Angeles which started calm, but ended with law enforcement attacking and injuring scores of people. Reporting for @capitalandmain.bsky.social

needed this & I bet you do too

Happy Father's Day & don't forget the lessons learned. (H/T - The Dad Briefs)

Took a ferry today and a dolphin decided to swim alongside us for a while. Look at this little guy! 😍

Footage of the Minnesota assassin Vance Luther Boelter, a life long registered republican and "Christian" nationalist incel that hated women. He's 100% MAGA.

In 2020, when I told people that I was building a pro-democracy media outlet, people thought I was kidding. When I told them it was because the fight for democracy was the fight of our time, they thought I was being overly dramatic. Well...here we are. Please subscribe now. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

Hi everyone I was denied entry, detained, and deported from the USA over the last 48 hours because of my reporting on the Columbia student protests I arrived back in Melbourne hours ago and had my phone handed back to me upon landing

C'mon Channel 10 News. You reported on the death of "Dr Prateek Joshi, his wife, and three children" in the Air India crash. In fact, "his wife" Komi Vyas has a name and was also a doctor. Here we are in 2025 and women are still just extensions of their husbands 😠

This is why I wrote my pinned report, which draws from my time as a criminal defense attorney. This jackass says he’s going to define “get violent” for the people in his county... ...but the *first six offenses he names* are non-violent offenses. They are changing definitions to justify fascism.

New euphemism for authoritarian lawlessness just dropped

Following yesterday's lovely sunset, I decided to pop down to St Kilda after work in the hope of getting some good sunset shots. As it turned out, I got stuck at a level crossing watching the longest goods train in South Australia pass by. Sigh. So this was the view when I got there.

Pyrrhuloxia portrait 🪶☀️🌵

Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.

My five year old got gassed at a soccer game tonight.

This lawsuit is brutal. One of the exhibits is the letter Universal sent to Midjourney, including a quote from a 2022 Forbes interview that I bet midjourney regrets

Pet Sounds all day, man. RIP www.youtube.com/watch?v=u90b...

Really important story - army officials asked soldiers to identify themselves if they don't agree with Trump's politics that way he'd get only supportive soldiers in uniform during his political rally on base. Heavier soldiers were also barred from participating.

Santana will try and push through their fast tracked gold mine within a matter of weeks. So it’s important that as many people as possible are informed, understand some of the horrendous issues, and know what they can do about it. sustainabletarras.com/2025/06/08/o... #nzpol

Looks like both Michaelia Cash & the National broadcaster forgot that the Coalition’s opinion is no longer relevant or needed. Thx #ABC but we don’t care

"Peace doesn’t mean quiet. It means truth. And that truth has just been insulted — in full public view — with a medal. "Let’s not pretend otherwise." johnmenadue.com/post/2025/06...

This is a previous post when Harris was clarifying what Trump meant by "the enemy from within" and she was right. Today, Gov. Newsom has file a motion to have Trump withdraw the military from LA..

"An incompetent warning shot or the act of a coward, either way it needs to be properly investigated... how is it okay for your police force to be firing at unarmed Australian journalists?" Karl Stefanovic, an anchor for the Australian broadcast channel that @laurentomasi.bsky.social works for.

@jesscraven101.bsky.social is in downtown LA at 2:20 PM on June 9. She just heard that the felon is sending in the Marines. They are literally listening to mariachi music and dancing. There is no crisis No violence. Kids. Dogs. Families. People in red states you are being lied to. #NoKings

To Quote Ghostbusters II: "It's true, this Man has no dick."

SHIELD • YOUR • NEIGHBORS Here in #LosAngeles, we protect our neighbors at all costs.

Four LAPD officers on horseback surround a man laying on the ground, trample him, and beat him with their polycarbonate "saber" batons.

BREAKING: ISRAEL HAS INTERCEPTED THE MADLEEN FREEDOM FLOTILLA Israeli speedboats have just reached the madleen Freedom Flotilla, 5 vessels are circling the flotilla. Yasmeen Acar: “They are intercepting our boat right now, we are no threat, we have no weapons, we carry only humanitarian aid”

Will the IDF murder these people in the glare of public scrutiny? IdF quite happy to murder Palestinians

"Tanner, a chemist at the Univ. of Mississippi working to develop a novel approach for treating glioblastoma, was notified in April that the grant was terminated. “I would like to cure brain cancer,” Dr. Tanner said. “I think that's not particularly controversial.” www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

BREAKING: The Israeli army is approaching the humanitarian ship Madleen Freedom Flotilla carrying Rima Hassan, Greta Thunberg, Yasmeen Acar, Thiago Alva & other activists. The alarm has been sounded. Watch over these brave warriors

Images of tanks pulling up for a huge PARADE that NO ONE asked for that will cost money & take military personnel away from more important things at a time when Americans are being told we don’t have money for food & healthcare seems wild to me.

Honestly I think if this place was actually irrelevant we wouldn’t have to deal with the same freaking editorial every week for an entire year and a half

Nike has cancelled fmr AOTY Grace Tame as a brand ambassador because of pro-Palestinian posts?! So, Nike opposes human rights and supports genocide?! Good to know. #IStandWithGrace #BoycottNike #RecognisePalestine #FreePalestine

If many Americans do this it could help when Americas version of the Nuremberg trials happen

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

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.

Please help us. We have people who’ve been hurt just trying to help others. More are out now. Please, record everything. We will hold those accountable who are breaking the law and attacking our communities. Do not provoke.

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. ✊🌙💚

ER doctor here! Please seek medical attention (go to the ER) if you are hit in the head with a ballistic. “Less lethal” weapons kill people all the time, in addition to causing permanent disabilities. If you don’t feel safe disclosing that you were protesting just say you were hit in the head, etc

fuck yeah LA
