The neighborhood is getting ready for tomorrow

!

Shameful. Unlawfully deployed troops detaining a veteran on his way to the VA.

TOMORROW SATURDAY JUNE 14, 2025 - likely the most important solidarity event of our lifetime to date. There will be MANY, many more. I will NEVER give up this fight. Stay as safe as possible! Please share posters, safety tips or any other sentiments here. Remember: WE ARE WAY BIGGER THAN THEM.

With this unconstitutional regime, we won’t know their rules until we break them. Senator Padilla is proof of that. They do not allow members of Congress to do their constitutional duty. They will not hesitate to turn their power on everyday citizens if we stay silent.

A pregnant mother of four in California was shocked to see around a half-dozen vehicles carrying heavily armed, masked ICE agents outside her home Thursday morning and even more concerned when she spotted Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem along for the raid.

Afghani who aided U.S. Army detained by ICE in San Diego Immigration Court There is no reason for this! timesofsandiego.com/military/202...

“Border patrol came without a warrant to my family’s business. They took my cousin who is a US citizen. This happened 6/12/25 at 4:33pm” 👇🏼 Naty2023 TikTok

"I cannot say this strongly enough: until 2026, only two things stand between the authoritarian project and its objectives: the judiciary and a popular protest movement. We have no control over the former. We must not surrender, or abandon, the latter."

Breath deep. Center. Find calm. Remember who you are, not what others think you should be. ☮

Why are we playing this game? The U.S. called our diplomats and personnel home 24 hours before the strikes. Obviously we knew.

The conditions at the Delaney Hall ICE detention facility in Newark are untenable. With serious security lapses, numerous reports of mistreatment by staff of detainees, complaints of persistent food shortages, and a troubling lack of transparency from facility administrators…

If the United States saw what the United States is doing in the United States, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.

The main question here is whether Alina Habba should not be struck off the rolls of persons authorized to practice law. The charges against McIver are baseless and rest on a tissue of conscious lies. The purpose of the prosecution is to intimidate Americans concerned about the misconduct of ICE.

Don’t blow past Trump’s admission of fear & defeat last night: farmers, restaurant trade assoc and hotels have been all over him about loss of immigrant workers. Stephen Miller in his snarling zeal (“arrest everyone) screwed up & is getting slapped back by Trump. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

If you stand with @padilla.senate.gov, stand with @replamonica.bsky.social. Tell your Reps & Senators how you feel about the charges against her. 202-224-3121 And call the DOJ comment line: 202-353-1555

<thread> On the left: June 12, Judge Breyer writing that THE test for whether the US Marines/Guard violate Posse Comitatus will be whether they've engaged in "detaining" civilians. On the right: June 13: See for yourself. Note: The DoD has confirmed the detention of civilian to Reuters.

As a four-decade veteran of the daily journalism business, let me tell you: Every competent political reporter in this country knows that Trump is trying to establish a dictatorship. The industry's shame is that so few journalists will say so, and the ones who do lose their jobs.

Mt Trashmore

Voice of America’s Farsi-language broadcast, dismantled under Trump and DOGE, was abruptly reactivated today, recalling dozens of staff from paid leave as tensions between Israel and Iran escalated.

Israel’s strikes on Iran, led by Netanyahu, ignite a tinderbox, risking a wildfire of chaos. Targeting nuclear sites and commanders like Bagheri, this gamble for regime change could burn the region to ashes. #3E

This hits hard! An L.A. protest in the 1930s, pushing back against illegal immigration raids. During the Great Depression, thousands of Mexican immigrants and their U.S.-born kids were deported. Racism and economic fear drove it then, just like now.

This man is my hero because he’s a member of the United States Air Force and is standing by his #Oath to the #Constitution! I’m hoping that since he has taken the lead others will follow because this is what a true American Soldier looks like! Remember your Oath to the Constitution

NEW VIDEO: As Trump sends in troops to Los Angeles and threatens Democratic representatives, California Rep. Eric Swalwell joins me to discuss how we got to this moment and what we can do to combat the administration’s takeover of our democracy. youtube.com/watch?v=T2_k...

This is the slap back to Stephen Miller’s “arrest everyone” madness. And an admission that Trump is under pressure from multiple industries that rely on migrant workers. This is huge and important. Keep amplifying the harm done by the Trump/Miller zealous, cruel overreach. Don’t bury this.

With or without documentation, simply due to skin color.

Good night Blue Sky. Let's make history tomorrow #nokings

I think today will be a defining moment. Why? Because the military belongs to the American people. To protect the American people. Not the leader. To turn the protector against who they are meant to protect. To protect only him. Just him. His beliefs. His ideals.

Native American Women Tell Border Patrol To Fuck Off for Harassing Them About Being Citizens.

Ironic. Dr. Oz, who oversees CMS, broke the law by handing immigrants' medical records to ICE to assist their mass deportations. Oz is himself the son of Turkish immigrants. He served in the Turkish Army and is a dual citizen of Turkey and the US. You think he'd respect his roots. NO shame.

We are the vast majority, Donald. We are people of every shape and shade. We are people of every nation and orientation. We are cisgender and transgender. We are immigrants and refugees and those born here... johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/we-the-peo... #NoKingsDay

ICE agents were. Caught dressed like Construction worker

Not too many Black folks will be surprised that the very first civilian Trump’s Marines detained in Los Angeles was a Black man. A veteran.

BREAKING: Marines — soldiers trained to kill — roll up on a Black man in LA for the high crime of minding his own business. Alone. Unarmed. Quiet. They think you’re the real threat. Our military is turning its weapons inward.

We’re looking forward to seeing everyone out there tomorrow! ✊💚

“ICE is currently in parks on the Westside separating caregivers from kids…Children are being left alone while nannies are being handcuffed” (From a friend who is a parent, who posted the message below on FB) ICE is not only kidnapping folks, they are creating opportunities for other kidnappers…

From a dear comrade who was kind enough to let me share their video. Veterans stage a sit-in on the US Capitol steps and say, “Military off our streets!” Hell yeah!

ICE is going to parks in Los Angeles and kidnapping nannies who are caring for small children The children are witnessing these kidnappings and being held in custody until their parents are contacted Women and children in parks

Rieckhoff: Trump, smartly—and maybe stupidly—chose to hit the military first. They’re using the military and the Pentagon as a test case for everything they want to do in America. And what I’d say is: if they can come after us, they can come after anyone.

@padilla.senate.gov: "Imagine what they are doing to a lot of folks who may not feel free to speak up... and there's not cameras there to capture how they may or may not be treated. That's the big takeaway. This should be a wake up call for everybody across the country."

National Guard, Marines and ICE agents terrorizing LA residents, Senator Padilla being assaulted, Iran and Israel on fire, Gaza in ruins, Ukraine-Russia war still ablaze, trade war a disaster, measles spreading. Yup, great time Trump's military parade.

The suggestion that Kristi Noem, a white woman, is the "delicate, beautiful, tiny" victim after a Latino man is physically dragged out of a room fits into the admin's pretext of criminality it attaches to people who are not white. Like Rep. LaMonica McIver.

I could sure use some SLEEPY Joe right about now…

This is the page in the history book where future generations may ask, “Why didn’t more people speak up?" Don’t let this slide.
