Road trip with my best friend 🥲 #adventurecat #catsofbluesky She might be in her golden years but she’s still full of spunk and curiosity 🐱

If you’re zip-tying grandmas protesting losing health care maybe you’re not the good guys in the story?

📢📢📢we will persist ✊🏽✊🏻✊🏿

Congress? You awake?

If your peace requires silence about injustice, then it is not peace. It’s privilege.

So there…

Juneteenth is a celebration of freedom, but also a reminder: freedom delayed is freedom denied. #Juneteenth #BlackHistory #FreedomDay #NeverForget

With everything else going on, the Senate sent the Big 💩 Bill back to the House, and made some changes. Here’s one:

Hard to argue with that.

Eliza sends her greetings. She was not happy about going to the vet 😔 #catsofbluesky

NO ICE. NO KKK. NO FASCIST USA.

Peaceful ✊🏽💕 NO ICE, NO KKK, NO FACIST USA ! #protectdemocracy #losangeles

schindler's list is such a poignant movie it's so horrific how all those people were forced to work in factories just because the state decided to criminalize them. what's that? no i think prison labor in the US is fine.

We cannot move on from what happened yesterday. A Senator being roughed up and handcuffed for trying to ask a question is what you see in a DICTATORSHIP. Our country is at a crossroads and we need EVERY American to stand up to defend freedom, democracy and our Constitution.

Hit the streets tomorrow. Be nonviolent. Be joyfully defiant. Be defiantly joyful. Ridicule him. Condemn fascism. Oppose I.C.E. Affirm diversity. Embody America. Love your neighbor. Refuse to be intimidated. Be safe. Be loud. Be encouraged. #NoKingsDay

If you’re undocumented, don’t march tomorrow. Stay home. Let the rest of us get this one. Solidarity ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼

David Huerta’s arrest wasn’t an accident. It was a message. And we got the message loud and clear: this administration is coming for working people. But guess what? We’re coming right back. Louder, stronger, more united than ever. #UnionsForAll

BREAKING: Senator Padilla after being thrown to ground and cuffed: “If this is how this administration responds to a senator with a question, if this is how the department of homeland security responds to a senator with a question, you can only imagine what they're doing to farmworkers..."

Senator Padilla was driven violently to his knees–as if made to kneel before the authority of the executive–because the administration called his questions “disrespectful”. This should offend not just the other 99 Senators. It should offend the conscience of this country.

Federal agents forcibly removing U.S. Senator Alex Padilla from DHS Secretary Noem's press conference. The regime will accept no dissent.

Take a listen and seriously consider it. While this is not an uncommon practice, I am glad people are beginning to speak up about it.

David Dayen: “The correct way to connect the authoritarian presence in LA and the Big Beautiful Bill is that the bill gives the government the resources to do this in dozens of cities at once. So if you don't like what's happening in LA, it's coming to your town if the bill passes.” #CallYourSenator

Instead of using this money to fund, say, the National Weather Service right before hurricane season, they're using it to send Marines to Los Angeles. THIS is waste and abuse.

Newsom: This Saturday, he's ordering our American heroes, the United States military, and forcing them to put on a vulgar display to celebrate his birthday, just as other failed dictators have done in the past

Let this sink in. Even the Los Angeles Police Chief, Jim McDonnell, made it clear: the people protesting immigration raids were not the ones causing violence. During a Sunday evening press conference, McDonnell condemned the violence as “disgusting”

Viva la resistencia ✊🏽 #solidarity

UPDATE: David Huerta was just released from custody!

LA protests were PEACEFUL. Until ICE and the Government’s SECRET POLICE INCITED THE VIOLENCE — they just started shooting rubber bullets, throwing smoke grenades and flash bangs and roughing up the peaceful crowd. Here’s just some of the video: x.com/edkrassen/st... Add more video in comments

Reports and video show flash-bangs thrown into piles of debris just before a car caught fire, strongly suggesting it was law enforcement, not protesters, who sparked it. More details are coming. Don’t let them control the narrative. Thank you to everyone sharing footage, always record everything.

ICE crossed a line in LA

🚩Governor Newsom deployed CHP officers to “maintain safety on Los Angeles highways to keep the peace.” “It’s not (the CHP’s) job to assist in federal immigration enforcement,” Newsom said. “The fed govt is sowing chaos so they can have an excuse to escalate. #HelterSkelterTrumpsAmerica
