The National Guard has arrived in Los Angeles, but they were not requested by California. Both Governor Newsom and Mayor Bass made it clear that the state did not authorize or want federal troops deployed.

This should not controversial, but somehow it is. I believe EVERYONE deserves healthcare, no matter who you are, what you do, or where you were born.

Women will die. Doctors will quit. Things like this only cause pain. And guess what? It's another decision made by men FOR women. If you are a woman, regardless of your party or personal beliefs about abortion, you should be appalled by how little this administration cares about women.

Unmask the ICE agents! America deserves to know who these people are. The world deserves to know who these people are.

If we aren’t supposed to have midnight snacks, why is there a light in the fridge?

Law enforcement officers should never cover their faces when making arrests or conceal their identities (unless they are working undercover). They work for us. We have a right to know who they are. These face coverings are frightening & unAmerican, as though they're ashamed of what they're doing.

More. Of. This.

When I see things like this, it reminds me that I can be proud of my country. Yeah, there are a lot of assholes here. The world is watching, and we are embarrassing ourselves on the national/international stage. But there are regular people willing to stand up against hate. I am proud of them! 🩷🤍🩵

Did he think hurricanes appear completely haphazardly and spontaneously? Does he know what a hurricane is? I've never lived anywhere near a hurricane zone, but I still understand the basics of what they taught us in science class back in elementary school... 🙄

"I didn't know he would do this." Yes, you did, or you voted while being completely uninformed which is just as bad. Prove you didn't know it by joining folks resisting the regime. Prove it by disavowing him. Prove it by fighting for what's right. Otherwise, just be quiet.

My home of Missoula just voted to establish the pride flag as an official government flag of the city, thereby circumventing the state's asinine pride flag ban. 🏳️‍🌈 Missoula is once again showing how to fight back against policies that seek to erase the LGBTQ community.

The Republican Party has chosen to fight poverty by killing off all the poor people.

We all knew it was... Catch up, Mr. President. 🙄

Happy Pride Month! I like to remind everyone that Pride is a protest. Sometimes it is falsely painted as a celebration. But, this year, we need to remember the roots of Pride. Many people in the US are under attack, queer and otherwise. Our existence is resistance! #strongertogether ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🩷🤍🩵

To all the Latino Trump supporters, when he said that he was going to deport all the criminals, rapists, gang bangers, he meant YOU. Because that is how he sees you—what he thinks of you. It doesn’t matter how long you’ve been here, what you’ve contributed. You’re brown, that’s all that matters…

Kamala Harris on “the big, beautiful bill:” “It’s an agenda...a narrow, self-serving vision of America...where they punish truth tellers, favor loyalists, profit from their power, and leave everyone else to fend for themselves.” Nailed it! 🔥

1. California will now give consolation spots to cisgender girls in finals who lose to trans girls. This comes after a vote by CA's sports authority. Newsom has expressed support for the move. It is a remarkable capitulation to Trump. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

wow. california.

Let's help Ventura, CA get a push toward being a trans sanctuary city. I don't live there, but the more support we can give each other, the better. They already have some support in their city. Let's show people on the fence that we matter. For info: venturatranssanctuary.org To sign⬇️

While we're at it, let's keep government out of ALL decisions that should only be made between doctors and their patients. Party of small government my butt 🤬🤬

Concise. Well-structured. Non-partisan. Kind. This is what messages from the office of the President should look like. And, honestly, I don't even care if it's not sincere in its own right, as long as the President respects their country, title, and citizens enough to be kind in their messaging.

But don't ya know? Deals are always made on the golf course. Obviously, golfing is in the best interest of America. 🙄

My Mom's pancreatic cancer was brushed off as 'stress'. My severe protein losing enteropathy was blamed on 'weight gain' My post operative hysterectomy abscess was me being 'dramatic' and 'hysterical'. Very nearly lost my life to that one. Listen to women.

So much of reactionary centrism is the belief that you can be a "polite bigot" and not enable fascism. They want their transphobia, racism, and sexism but hold the authoritarianism. The problem is that authoritarian movements are built on bigotry. www.semafor.com/article/05/2...

So many signatories of the Harper’s Letter have been silent on pulling all published research with the word “transgender,” the national ban on orgs acknowledging transgender people, and the threatening of teachers who use trans people’s names. Almost like free speech is not what they cared about.

I miss sanity… I miss the truth… I miss decency… I miss democracy… I miss restful sleep… I miss not fighting the urge to vomit every time I hear his wretched voice… I miss my faith in kindness and goodness and in American values and humanity… How about you?! 🤚

West Point graduates this morning sat through a commencement speech about having courage given by a treasonous convicted felon who also happens to be a 5x draft dodging coward who has never served anyone but himself. Depraved, despicable and embarrassing.

Abortion bans cause dead women to be intubated and forcibly kept alive against the family wishes. And the family pays for it.
