Good morning, folks. Enjoy the heck out of this day and cancel some of that fricking noise that is getting you down by taking a few moments to enjoy the natural world around you. Recharge. #Photography

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.

Smokey skies at sunset. Tonight just after sundown in the flat fields of Wood County, Ohio, where wildfire smoke has settled in and mixed with fog, like a puff from a stranger’s cigarette in crowd waiting to cross a busy street in the damp night. #sunset #smoke #spring #clouds #nature #ohio

My hometown. "We condemn this in no uncertain terms: LA was built by immigrants & thrives because of immigrants. We will not abide by fear tactics to support extreme political agendas that aim to stoke fear and spread discord in our city. ...We see you, we stand with you, & we will fight for you.”

NEW VIDEO: Alabama is again appealing its long-running redistricting battle to the U.S. Supreme Court, two years after the high court already affirmed a district court decision that struck down the state’s original congressional map. Paige and I explain. www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXCt...

And just think- we could have had Kamala Harris as President and a normal fucking life. But no.

Newsom: The Secretary of Defense is now threatening to deploy active-duty Marines on American soil against its own citizens. This is deranged behavior.

Beautiful morning sun through the trees and a BlueSky ✨🦋✨

This isn’t even remotely legal what he is doing.

The Los Angeles Police Department has stated that demonstrations in the city have remained peaceful. Let that sink in.

This is a pre-planned operation in LA!

We Have Lift Off... Early evening. Hector The Great Blue Heron (Cousin of Henrik), in perfect form, taking off, to enjoy the fresh air & scenery, of Southern, Ontario. Incredible plumage. Very handsome. 📸🇨🇦 #GreatBlueHeron #Photography #Wildlife #Birds #BirdPhotography #Nature #OntarioParks #Canada

I've been listening to the local police scanner and there have been 3 calls to group homes this morning. A staff was assaulted, a mental health crisis and a fire started. The people working front lines in these homes are lucky to make twenty bucks an hour.

Trump's biggest inaugural donors are already reaping their rewards: -Pilgrim's Pride ($5M) could benefit from deregulation of meat safety standards -Ripple ($4.9M) closed its SEC legal battle -Billionaire Warren Stephens ($4M) became UK Ambassador Everything is for sale.

ICE terrorizes our communities. People protest, and now Trump is sending 2,000 National Guard troops into Los Angeles. This is how martial law begins in the so-called land of the free.

The deployment of federalized National Guard troops to California, without consent from local or state officials, is deeply troubling. These are tactics seen in authoritarian regimes, not in America. We want to be clear, the military should not be used to police civilians.

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.

Cannot stress enough that this is a pitiful action by a weak, scared, pathetic group of insecure, wannabe authoritarians, and they should be mocked until the end of time for wanting to bring in the military over some people protesting them at a Home Depot.

“Tasted a little tear gas— tasted like fascism”

LOS ANGELES: Stay off the streets tonight. Stay home. Stay safe. Tom Homan says the National Guard might be deployed — and I’m telling you, he wants violence. They’re baiting us to react so they can escalate. Rule #1: Never protest at night. That’s when the worst happens—under cover of darkness.

Keep the faith.✊🏼

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.

I was an immigration lawyer for about fifteen years. The people I met… the way they wanted to give their absolute best to this country, and then DID. Skills, ideas, beauty, culture… that’s what they bring. America is a nation of immigrants, and immigration is what made America.

When a Blackhawk helicopter brings weapons and ammunition to a battle, you expect that “battle” not to be against our own.

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.

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."

Feels like a uniquely American brand of stupidity to try and mobilize troops for the battle of Home Depot

Your safety is the top priority. Peaceful protesters have already been harmed for doing nothing. The story they’re selling isn’t legit. Please film everything, document everything.

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. ✊🌙💚

With the $45 million being spent on the president's parade here’s what that money could do for veterans instead: House 3k veterans for an entire year in transitional housing Provide full PTSD treatment for 3.75k veterans for a year Deliver job training to 9k veterans through 12-week programs

Hold up a sec: The best "alternative" to SpaceX is NASA itself--you know, those guys who put people on the Moon?
