It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

Good for @terrymoranabc.bsky.social. He is free now and his legacy is secure. He will be remembered for speaking out and not bending the knee. Also he will make more money now and have a bigger platform and influence. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/10/b...

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

Solidarity is more important than ever. That's why I invited my opponents to cohost this Pride event with me and I hope they take me up on it. Democrats need to stand for something and when it comes to common ground and basic values, we need to stand together.

I would love nothing more than for this to be the situation that makes Gavin Newsom wake up and realize there's no point in trying to ingratiate yourself with professional Trumpland.

Whats happened in LA over the weekend is pathetic. Once again we see the commander in chief agitating and escalating shit. On another note, it doesn't seem like dems were "overreacting" when we said the fate of democracy depends on this election.

Due process on pause? “ICE” is detaining people without charges and blocking attorney access. I hope L.A. and California are transparent about the data, because I bet most of these folks have no criminal record—just moms, dads and young people doing the work that most Americans won’t touch.

I ran an experiment, simultaneously posting articles on Bluesky and X, and then testing to see how many people actually clicked and read them. The numbers on Bluesky are higher, both because the X algorithm downranks journalism, and because Bluesky attracts readers, not just shitposters.

Hegseth wants to rename the USNS Harvey Milk because it doesn’t fit the “warrior ethos” he’s pushing. He served, was forced out for being gay, and still came back to fight for the country that tried to erase him. THAT is a warrior.

A group in San Diego is patrolling neighborhoods to identify potential ICE presence. They keep watch for vehicles that may belong to federal agencies, and use livestreams, radios, and social media to keep communities informed. boltsmag.org/how-vol...

“An important part of that elevation is protection rights—human rights and civil rights.” Wesley Morris makes clear that elevating the Trans issue, wasn’t just a political move, it was one to protect all Americans and their rights.

Time for California to withhold federal taxes. Good luck with funding your billionaire giveaway without tax funds from the 4th largest economy on the planet. Take that money, provide all the services statewide that the federal government refuses to provide now.

We need a dedicated and organized group finding out when and where these raids are going to be, and the People need to get out in the streets and show these fascist thugs they are outnumbered and only safe because we choose not to be violent.

PLEASE REPOST THIS CALL TO MARCH. What’s up with blueskys algorithm when I can’t break 300 reposts or likes?
