So true!!!

Protesters push a garbage cart as they try to block the garage entrance of the Los Angeles Federal Building following multiple detentions by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), in downtown Los Angeles, California, June 6. REUTERS/Daniel Cole

💥 BREAKING: Ukrainian drones flew out of grain train car hatches and destroyed 13 Russian tanks and more than a 100 armored vehicles and other equipment being transported by the Russian train in occupied southern Ukraine. The hatches appear to have been opened by remote control, again.

Godspeed to the gallant people of Los Angeles. I pray that all people who know what the right thing to do is, especially myself, find themselves with the courage to do it when they need to.

Less than half a year in, and the president threatening to use the power of the federal government to punish a citizen for making political donations to the opposing party is not in his the top 100 authoritarian acts this week.

not sure there's a more embarrassing profession than ICE agent. Oh, you dress like a soldier to abduct sous chefs and throw flashbangs at protesters? Get a real job you loser

These are masked men, with weapons, no warrants and this is extrajudicial abduction, and with local police aiding and abetting this thuggery. It is illegal under international human rights law. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/07/u...

Trump’s largest donor called him a pedo, his Vice President said he was American Hitler, and his Secretary of State called him a con-man. I believe them!

Despicable action by ICE to go after an Afghan who fought besides our troops.

We don't have secret police in America. At least we're not supposed to.

Two of the women in this photo have been advocating for Black Autistic and neurodivergent children for over 2 decades. They are my mentors and friends. If you don’t know, you should look up Morénike Giwa Onaiwu and Camille Proctor

even if ICE was doing this with their full legal names out and faces uncovered IT WOULD STILL BE FASCISM

Paramilitary forces engage protesters near an ICE raid at a Home Depot in Los Angeles County. KABC TV live stream: https://abc7.com/watch/live/

BREAKING: ICE RAID IN PARAMOUNT, CA. At least 2 protesters arrested for resisting law enforcement. They’re snatching people while cameras roll. If you’re nearby, STAY SAFE. If you’re not, PAY ATTENTION. This is happening. Right now.

Stephen Miller should be curb stomped by a hydraulic press on live tv

People have forgotten what happened in Los Angeles after the Rodney King trial debacle...

Reports that ICE ran a barricade and hit protesters in LA

Don’t take your phone to the protest. Do write an emergency contact number down on your body if someone not there who has credit cards and is/knows lawyers. Don’t take unnecessary risks. Have a buddy and be responsible for each other. ¡Fuera ICE!

The “we can’t seat you until your entire party is here” thing has gotten absurd. This isn’t Manhattan on a Saturday night, Carol - I’m trying to each lunch at 2:15 in Lincoln Park and it’s going to take a minute for my friend to park. Let have sense.

The conditions that have led to what’s happening in the US today exist in democracies around the world. They are an inevitable outcome of our collective failure to adapt to fundamental changes in the information ecosystem on which our democracies were originally built.

kind of just endlessly sad and grieving that there are so few voices in the public sphere making the basic principled argument that immigration is an affirmative good in every way and the best way for this country to serve humanity is to welcome people who want or need to leave their homes

Trying and failing to come up with the right words to describe what we are witnessing unfold in LA right now. Your resistance is here, support them

She has short bowel syndrome, and only the U.S. offers the treatment that keeps her alive. But her family’s humanitarian parole was suddenly revoked. Now, two months later, DHS has reversed course.

📣🛑🔥💬🚨 Stephen Miller calling peaceful protesters “insurrectionists” is a frightening attack on free speech and democracy. Silencing citizens who stand up for their communities with such extreme labels is pure authoritarianism Where’s the respect for our constitutional rights? This is deeply alarming

What the fuck is the point of paying money to a police department if they won’t protect people from hostile masked kidnappers?

What country is this?

Rescuers saved a woman from under the debris in #Kharkiv. She even found the strength to joke as they brought her to an ambulance. Wishing her a full and speedy recovery. 📹 Suspilne

Oh, well, apparently in the Supreme Court's eagerness to let DOGE do whatever it wants with no public scrutiny, the court also accidentally made information about the new orders public — "an apparent software malfunction" — so they published the orders list on Friday evening instead of Monday.

Abolish. ICE.

Gizmo fludged. I don't want to give it away. A must-see. #SunnyAndGizmo #FOBBV #JackieAndShadow youtu.be/p2SSr1aM7Vk?...

It's not going to be enough to abolish ICE. There are going to need to be prosecutions.

“He’s behind me, isn’t he.” “Yep.” “Is he making that stupid face?” “Yep.”

Imagine that. www.npr.org/2025/06/02/n...

Imagine putting on all this tactical gear and latching onto a military assault vehicle so you can storm a minimall on Sepulveda and apprehend a line cook at family restaurant.

The United Farm Workers, along with the entire labor movement, stands in strong solidarity with our comrade, labor leader David Huerta. We demand his immediate release and condemn indiscriminate sweeps targeting working class immigrants.

Undocumented immigrants pay almost $100 billion in taxes each year. The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes each year. Stop pretending that immigrants are the ones taking advantage of taxpayers.

This is such a gross smear of a brilliant scholar. Harvard did not hire Shaul Magid "to combat anti-Jewish bias on campus." That's not the job of a professor! They hired him to teach Jewish Studies, because he's a distinguished scholar in the field.

One lesser-reported part of the One (Not-So) Beautiful Bill is a 3.5% tax on remittances. Sharing here an interesting economic analysis of the possible impact that might have on remittance flow globally. www.cgdev.org/blog/which-c...

This is fascism. Being punished for who you associate with.

The "weave" has been rechristened:

Nikki Haley 🙄 Still poison after all these years.

This right here y’all

i think it is interesting that the author of this piece wrote "judging people by race instead of merit has to end" in the context of "DEI and affirmative action are bad"

A huge reason any of these bad things are happening is that people were permitted to get away with obvious and public crimes with no consequences.
