Arturo Obrego, a 77-year-old army veteran who hitchiked from Huntington Beach is going viral for getting hit with wooden baton by officers on horses and knocked down during today’s peaceful “No Kings” protest in DTLA. @TheGlutster ran into him at Union Station a couple of hours after the incident.

I'm not crying, you're crying.

"Thousands of New Englanders critical of President Donald J. Trump gathered in Providence on Saturday, June 14...to deliver a loud and local counterpoint to both the president's military parade and what organizers call his authoritarian leadership style." Via Mark Reynolds in the ProJo:

LAPD and LA Sheriffs tried to prevent two large protests from joining together in downtown and both departments ended up hitting EACH OTHER with impact munitions from across the same interesection.

Here's the great @steveahlquist.bsky.social's report on No Kings protests across Rhode Island yesterday, which includes lots of photos and videos. Nobody covers protests in RI better than Steve.

National Guard got 29-day orders—one day before the cutoff for full benefits. Now *thats* on-brand for @realdonaldrump.bsky.social

If goons try to make things violent, immediately sit down and put up the signal for others to do so as well:

⚠️ Warning: The Trump administration is circulating footage from 2020 to make the situation in L.A. appear more chaotic than it is. This is an intentional effort to manufacture a larger crisis. Stay alert. Pay attention. The propaganda machine is in overdrive.

UPDATE: David Huerta was just released from custody!

“The skewed conservative interpretation of Orwell holds that freedom means the freedom to spread lies about topics like the 2020 election, COVID, vaccines or anything else. It depicts any effort to challenge falsehoods as an attack on this supposed freedom…” 1/

Rep. Ashley Hinson mentioned Donald Trump and his spending bill—and the town hall crowd erupted.

"She was also Gaza’s youngest influencer, offering practical survival tips for daily life under bombardment, such as advice on how to cook with improvised methods when there was no gas. 'I try to bring a bit of joy to the other children so that they can forget the war. '”

🚨🚨 I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x convicted felon & adjudicated rapist Trump did.

@kimkalunian.bsky.social what’s up in Bristol?

We get the democracy we defend.

@whitehouse.senate.gov @reed.senate.gov

TODAY: We need every Senate Democrat to vote no on a crypto bill that would enable Trump to keep accepting bribes from billionaires, corporations, and foreign governments. We can block S.394 if Democrats unite in opposition, but they’re not there yet, so make sure your senators hear from you ASAP. 👇

On this 80th Anniversary of VE Day, we remember all those who won the war against Nazis and remember the countless sacrifices they made to deliver it. The Greatest Generation stood up to evil to protect peace and freedom for generations. Now it’s our turn. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6pNl...

Excellent analysis here of the crass unreality of Trump’s budget proposal. Worth adding—it is not just unreal but unrealistic. If something like this were followed it is unclear the US would be able to borrow money in 2026. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/budgets-as...

47 days later, we still don't know. And what we do know mostly came from leaks.

Right now, families across the Washington D.C. area are going to bed wondering if its safe to go to work tomorrow and whether dropping off their kids at school will be the last time they see them This is the fear they want people to internalize This isn't normal

A Public Service Announcement... Bar election coming up in DC. Members please Vote Diane Seltzer for Bar President who is running against trump's AG Pam Bondi's brother, Brad Bondi. Please, let's get this right! Thanks!

Trump doesn’t know if people deserve due process despite the 5th Amendment which says they do. There’s no arguing that. But Trump is trying to say it makes him do too much work to be fair. This is what it sounds like when an authoritarian rips up the constitution, and tries to abuse power. WATCH ⬇️

Cruelty is the point. What other reason would it be?
