hey @schiff.senate.gov, care to explain why you're helping a president currently attempting a fascist power grab spread lies about a city and constituents you ostensibly serve?

ICE arrested 36 Chinese & Taiwanese immigrants after raiding an LA nightclub. That's them, ziptied on the sidewalk. Yo Asians—if you weren't already outraged and mobilizing on behalf of others, guess what? That "First they came for the..." poem has gotten up to us. www.latimes.com/california/s...

DTLA 6/6/25: Anti-Deportation protesters confront federal immigration officers following an ICE raid at Ambiance Apparel. For @calmatters.org

US Army Vet confronts National Guard at ICE protest in LA

HAPPENING NOW: Aerial coverage of protesters marching peacefully in LA to protest ongoing ICE raid operations and Trump’s federalization of the National Guard Reporter: “What we’re looking at right now is a quiet, organized group and demonstrators marching peacefully to their destination.”

Congratulations to Coco Gauff for winning her first French Open title! We really LOVE this.

Yes. I have heard this from both liberal and conservative people with sources inside the agency. It’s not just the pushback, it’s also that many officers want to believe they’re targeting the “bad guys” and this admin is telling them “screw you, grab families.” Genuinely, morale is way down.

They keep saying they’re implementing martial law because of violence by protesters provoking them — “insurrection.” It’s a lie. They’re doing this to create terror, like they’re doing now by coming to Pasadena & hijacking a hotel. There’s no violence happening in Pasadena.

The weird, often whitewashed way the civil rights movement is taught (or not taught) seemed to convince a lot of people that nonviolence was met with nonviolence, instead of you know, dogs, hoses, beatings, death, etc

ICE crossed a line in LA

as someone who teaches at kent state, is from ohio, and produced a documentary about NG being deployed into ohio towns to control minoritized groups, i feel confident in saying that incompetence coupled with an overuse of governing power & white supremacists in charge is still a cause for concern.

"they can't do this!" about the thing they are very much currently doing

The Miami Herald has an investigation into FDC Miami echoing my reporting from the past couple weeks: harsh conditions, crumbling infrastructure, use of force and lack of access to legal counsel www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

The past few months have been the perverted reflection of 1965 -dismantling of Civil Rights Act, Voting Rights Act, Great Society -Natl Guard activated against will of governor for 1st time since LBJ sent them to AL to *protect* protestors messaging-custom-newsletters.nytimes.com/dynamic/rend...

The men with their faces covered, refusing to identify themselves, with guns and army gear are HUMAN BEINGS. Please let them kidnap mothers and fathers from their workplaces in PEACE.

We have ID cards, all states compliant w/ national REAL ID, checked constantly in daily life. We also have lots of "administrative friction to make undocumented life undesirable." There are still millions here illegally. The idea you can get rid of them solely with paperwork barriers is a delusion.

“Firing back”

News: Pope Leo criticized the emergence of nationalist political movements on Sunday, calling them unfortunate, without naming a specific country. Leo, the first pope from the U.S., asked that God would "open borders, break down walls (and) dispel hatred." For @reuters.com:

All we want is healthcare.

mass protest is not the right way to oppose fascism. the right way to oppose fascism is to shake your head and say “no thank you” whenever a fascist offers you some fascism

Earlier this evening, the Univision crew grabbed their gear and started running when federal police began shooting pepper balls at us. @lataco.bsky.social

When the LAPD is like “we are totally fine with the protests, no worries here” you know you’ve gone full through-the-looking-glass.

The American version of populism uses government to screw it’s supporters whenever there is a private dollar to be made

“Just to be clear, the National Guard has not been deployed in the City of Los Angeles.” -- LA Mayor Karen Bass The @us.theguardian.com is spot on with this fact checking in the story & headline. Other news outlets should follow this lead: www.theguardian.com/us-news/live...

Men are over on TikTok trying to coach each other on how to lie to women about their political affiliations and how to pretend to care about women’s issues or maintain neutrality. In the words of Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel

Remember this iconic photo from Ferguson? This is Edward Crawford, throwing back a tear gas canister to protect some nearby kids. Like many identified Ferguson protesters and organizers, he was "found dead" a couple years later and neither the cops nor the media will ever investigate.

Go Williams! Leading by example. ❤️👊

With Musk gone, it’s time to start irritating Trump with “Stephen Miller is the person actually running the country.” Miller has survived longer than anyone in Trump’s orbit, so he’s clearly learned how to stroke Trump’s ego. But it can’t hurt to try. It also appears to be true. Terrifyingly so.

The United States, June 2025. Oops, no. The Diary of Anne Frank Nazi Germany 1943 We refuse to learn from past atrocities. Wake tf up, America, before we’re the ones who need saving by allied troops.

Reminder: jury nullification won't be in your jury instructions and is not something you're allowed to talk about in court. If you bring up jury nullification during jury selection, you WILL be thrown off the jury. Want to nullify? Just vote to acquit. That's all nullification is: a vote to acquit.

Tbf i left substack because they defended funding the world's most heinous transphobes

i sincerely think a lot of you believe that the people who join the service are robotic psychopaths who will mindlessly listen to whoever is in charge, and there is nothing i can say to disabuse you of that frankly delusional belief

THE REVOLUTION WILL BE FORKLIFT-CERTIFIED

Why yes I have been randomly reading a lot about Thomas Paine (who, I will say again, deserves his own prestige biopic show) and his insider fights with John Adams (who mostly agreed with him except for all the ways he didn’t) why do you ask

This was their aim all along: Motivated by their success in reversing Roe v. Wade, conservative Christian activists have a new target in Obergefell v. Hodges. They want to overturn same- sex marriage. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/08/u...

Protests never work which is why the police gas their own citizens to stop them

and Jeffrey Sachs - or should I say джеффри саксссссссс - is at this conference along with Lavrov and Alex Jones - is this horseshoe theory?
