SOMEBODY STOP HIM. PLEASE. I will beat you with my cane. They/them. Old. Anti-fascist, pro-cats. I love OK but it's also embarrassing because our leaders suck. Sometimes remarks don't fit nicely within the character limit. TV-MA language.

There is no bigger story right now than the White House asserting that California residents are in a state "of rebellion against the authority of the Government of the United States."

Just to recap, Trump has taken the extraordinary step of federalizing 2000 member of the California National Guard — over the objections of the state’s governor — in response to a protest that currently involves A FEW DOZEN PEOPLE AT A HOME DEPOT

By the way, the United States of America didn't become fascist under trump. This has been America every day for anyone not white since 1607. Not saying this isn’t fucked up, but it’s nothing new. Ask Native Americans. Ask Black folks. Ask all BIPOC about how the US has always treated them.

Here. We. Go

The administration gets closer to using the military to crush civilian dissent. Expect deaths, disappearances, and lawless detentions.

This feels Oklahoma…IYKYK

What's going on in LA should be a real wakeup call for folks who don't already know that a fully liberal government can still wind up a police state and without some major change to the way we talk about the militarization of policing, nothing will get better

I’m a bit depressed that I don’t have a new Doctor Who episode this weekend, and more than a bit anxious that we don’t know when the show will be back. But, Ncuti’s Doctor was hope and joy and fun and I will miss him so much www.npr.org/2025/06/07/n...

L.A. is a Mexican-American city. The majority of the population is made up of racial and ethnic minorities. We are all happy living together and really do not want to see our friends, neighbors and families being terrorized by federal robo-cops. This is bullshit.

The speed in which we have decayed into an open oligarchic kleptocracy is astounding

Your birth control is your right. Today, 60 years after #SCOTUS decided Griswold v. Connecticut, we’re fighting harder than ever against Republican attacks on reproductive health care with @reprocaucus.bsky.social Donald Trump & House GOP: back off our birth control.

The chemical munitions used by the secret police are setting local shrubbery on fire and damaging vehicles.

ICE rolls in, LA rises up.🔥 If Stephen Miller was looking for immigrants to roll over and just take it from his ICE goons, he picked the wrong f*cking town. Between yesterday in LA City and Paramount today, the community is fighting back.

We're no longer the leader of the free world. We're no longer a beacon of democracy and justice. We're no longer the land of opportunity. We're no longer a nation in which no one is above the law. Our myths about ourselves are killing us. What to do? davidrothkopf.substack.com/p/we-are-not...

ICE is the January 6 insurrectionists all over again. Only instead of attacking law enforcement, they are pretending to *be* law enforcement. And instead of just terrorizing at the Capitol, they are doing it EVERYWHERE.

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

The Trump admin dreams of using protest as an excuse to invoke the insurrection act and launch a crackdown. It would be a huge mistake to conclude from this that the correct strategy is to keep protest minimal in the hope of not giving them a pretext. That's nothing less than pre-emptive surrender.

I LOVE PBS AND NPR. Don’t let Congress vote to defund OUR public media next weeek. Speak out NOW. It is URGENT. Visit protectmypublicmedia.org #pbs #NPR #protectmypublicmedia #publicmedia

Gassing neighborhoods full of children

Accurate. And horrifying. Do everything you feel you can to protest, whether in person, online, in phone calls, but we need to be as relentless as they are.

From today's #AT40 hash: Those two songs are even beneath the Me First and the Gimme Gimmes treatment. The all-covers "supergroup" that included members of NOFX and Lagwagon appear to have not covered either one.

It’s very obvious that ICE is trying to provoke violence to give the Trump regime an excuse to invoke the Insurrection Act.

America has never needed an effective opposition party as badly as it needs one now; instead we have the most feckless Democratic leaders of the past 100 years. https://trib.al/XSs84Hx

Talking to my dad in LA this afternoon about the ICE raids that happened in the area yesterday. He is so enraged, he can’t formulate words—and he can’t seem to understand why Americans aren’t connecting the dots that the power to disappear immigrants grants the power to disappear everyone else.

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

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

NEW: Unbelievable. A seemingly endless line of tanks & other military vehicles arrive in DC ahead of next week's parade. They departed Texas 5 days ago. What a colossal waste of time, money & military resources. All for a President who has shown zero respect for service personnel. (🎥 DW)

BREAKING: ICE raid and community resistance in front of Home Depot in Paramount, California.

Thread. This is fascism.

Today is the last day to comment on schedule F, Russ Vought's plan to politicize the civil service, by making many positions political appointments. Please take the time to comment today. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/last-day-t...

White flight ☠️😂

This is so wrong. All to feed the ego of a mad tyrant who never had the balls to serve. This is not what we do in America. This is so fucking wrong. Makes me so sad. And so angry.👇

I wrote how it's critical we don't get distracted by the Trump/Musk childish feud & stay focused on protecting our Republic Now, SCOTUS just ruled to give DOGE full access to our private SSN data & I'm seeing comparably zilch coverage. Distraction is working.😐 www.qasimrashid.com/p/musk-v-tru...

Our FCC is being weaponized and also degraded by the Trump administration. Now it has only TWO Commissioners (should have 5). h/t to @theverge.com @laurenfeiner.bsky.social for covering an important story. feat. @haroldfeld.bsky.social offering insights www.theverge.com/policy/68163...

Not easy to do, but doable.
