"At Downey Memorial Christian church on Thursday, officers reportedly arrested a man in the parking lot then pointed a gun at senior pastor Tanya Lopez..." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

CNN: “Trump has lost the political battle when it comes to what has happened in Los Angeles.”

Sorry. This is very raw. But what’s happening in LA right now is absolutely horrific. #iceraids

We don’t know what the real name of the Director of White House Personnel is, we don’t know what country he came from, he refuses to turn in background check forms, and nobody will ask the president or press secretary about it.

Line of residents waiting to speak against city of Miami signing a police-ICE collaboration agreement wraps around the block.

Q: "Tulsi Gabbard testified in March that the intelligence community said Iran wasn't building a nuclear weapon." Trump: "I don't care what she said. I think they were very close to having one."

Both sides news coverage is killing democracy and there is no place where it is more dangerous that in how legacy media covers the GOP attacks on free and fair elections. For my latest and to access all Democracy Docket premium content, sign-up now. newsletters.democracydocket.com/member-meblu...

It was the honor of a lifetime to speak at the historic San Diego #NoKings march today. Here are two short clips, with my gratitude. 1 of 2:

Whoa! Hats off to ABC News reporter Matt Gutman for keeping his cool yesterday. This LAPD officer needs to be relieved of duty if he can’t handle an alleged “touch” without snapping.

It was truly an honor to be asked to kick off today’s historic march. Thank you, San Diego! #NoKings

🇺🇸 NO KINGS! Live in Madison, Wisconsin. ✊

Holy shit, New York! Here’s the full view. #NoKings #50501Movement

An INCREDIBLE showing for the NO KINGS rally in Woodland Hills, CA—a suburb in the valley of Los Angeles. A quick report from on the ground.

New York City says fuck the Trump regime and his loyalist ICE forces. The real America rejects fascism. (📹 @cindygallop.bsky.social ) #3E #NoKings #NoKingsDay

Dallas turned out with at least 10,000 marching for #NoKingsDay

Boston showed up for No Kings Day!

Raskin: You are not our king, and we are not your subjects. We will never be your subjects. All of us born here on this land are citizens and your executive order is nothing but bad graffiti on the Constitution, and we're going to wash it off today

Tim Snyder: Today no kings, tomorrow freedom. There is a better America out there. There is a better America underneath. There is a better America that we can see. There is a better America that we can make. History is in our hands.

Chicago showed the fuck up!

Philly showin' up today

“No Kings Day”: A compilation

Essential reading (by @jasonstanley.bsky.social) for every American. The media, aided by a handful of reactionary academics and compliant university administrations, has sold the public a huge lie about wokeness on college campuses, enabling the extreme right. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

REMINDER: Netanyahu convinced Trump in 2018 to withdraw US from Iran nuclear deal that Obama and allies had negotiated. That Deal would've prevented Iran from getting a nuclear weapon. The death and destruction we're seeing now is 100% bc of Trump & Netanyahu www.timesofisrael.com/in-recording...

absolutely horrifying: "Minnesota state senator John Hoffman in Champlin and Minnesota state representative Melissa Hortman in Brooklyn Park were reportedly shot in their homes by a gunman impersonating a police officer."

Bass: If you want to go back in time, where was LA on Thursday? Fine, peaceful. Nothing was happening. The minute ICE rolled into town, that's when the chaos started and then add to that—bringing in federal troops.

Corporate media is trying so hard to carry water for Elon Musk. It's another FAILURE! The rocket crashed. www.cnn.com/science/live...

Reuters: SPACEX'S STARSHIP SPINNING IN SPACE AND LOSES CONTROL 30 MINUTES INTO NINTH TEST FLIGHT

U.S. Senator complains about news coverage while sharing a story covering the news when he is a member of an actual branch of gov’t that has rolled over and played dead. Yes, I know Dems aren’t in charge, and, yes, I know Murphy is better than most, but at this point this feels like misdirection.

Trump doesn’t give a damn about veterans: The Department of Veterans Affairs, which serves some of America’s most vulnerable citizens, is set to lose 83,000 employees under the Trump administration’s cutbacks.

Targeting a private educational institute because it won’t conform its governance and curriculum to what the state wants is…communist.

Oh for the good old days when every editorial board in America LOUDLY demanded the Clintons shut down their charitable organization for fear it would be used to curry favor w/Hillary if she became President 🙃

A federal judge just dropped a bombshell ruling. “O.C.G." was illegally “deported." The government submitted false info to support the illegal action—then admitted it hours before it was to be deposed. Watch my breakdown and decide for yourself. #OCGCase #ImmigrationJustice

NYT, page one: The “$1.5 billion golf complex” and “Trump skyscraper .. are the Trump family’s first projects in Vietnam — part of a global moneymaking enterprise that no family of a sitting American president has ever attempted on this scale.” www.nytimes.com/2025/05/25/w...

This is so incredibly infuriating! Why are we talking about anything that isn’t Republican cutting food stamps for CHILDREN!!!!!!

THE PRESIDENT, WHO HAS NUCLEAR CODES AND TALKS TO HEADS OF STATE CONSTANTLY, CAN'T FLY AROUND ON A JET GIVEN TO HIM BY THE MOST CORRUPT OIL WIERDOS ON EARTH THERE IS NO OTHER "ANGLE" TO THIS STORY

If Joe Biden was taking intelligence briefings once every 10 days and routinely admitting he had no idea what was happening on major policy issues, there would not be enough room on the opinion pages of America's newspapers demanding he resign but Trump isn't held to that standard 🙃

Turkey rejects fascism

Is this who we are? newschannel9.com/news/local/f...

Walz: We don’t need to run government like a business, because we’re not in the profit-making business. We’re in the business of improving lives and looking toward the future. And second, this guy has a proven track record of being an absolute failure.

Do your job, Sean.

Kleptocracy

If guilty people don't have Due Process rights, then innocent people don't have Due Process rights, because we don't know if they're innocent or guilty until we have a trial or hearing.

Powell: "If the large increases in tariffs that have been announced are sustained, they are likely to generate a rise in inflation, a slowdown in economic growth, and an increase in unemployment."

Ben Meiselas at Milken Institute: They want to hear: Why are you bullying a marginalized community? Why are you punching down at human beings? We are the United States of America—why are you treating people like this?

NEW: The rate of sepsis in Houston surged 63% after Texas banned abortion. In the Dallas-Fort Worth area, where hospital leaders empowered doctors to intervene before patients’ conditions worsened, it rose just 29%.

"We have an FBI director who received $25,000 for appearing in a film, executive producing a film, made by a Ukrainian-American-Russian who worked on a propaganda project that was financed, in part, by Vladimir Putin's office." "Why this isn't a bigger story, I don't know."
