But this guy will still be here operating the puppets. jacobin.com/2025/06/trum...

Healthcare for seniors is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse. Food for hungry kids is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse. A $45 military parade for a draft dodging felon *is* waste, fraud, and abuse. Paying the National Guard to attack US citizens *is* waste, fraud, and abuse.

Over 10,000 protesters marched peacefully through Downtown Los Angeles for a third straight day, their voices rising against ICE raids tearing families apart. In silence, they filled the freeway—an ocean of defiance and unity. No violence, just courage. This is what resistance looks like. 💪🔥✊🏽🕊️📣🇺🇸

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

LAPD fired rubber bullets at Australian journalist @laurentomasi.bsky.social

I don’t think people should engage in violence and vandalism and I don’t think federal agents should provoke people to engage in violence and vandalism. Too many law enforcement officers sworn to protect and serve now look and act like they are in Fallujah.

It seems what is actually taking place is that first there is a peaceful protest, then ICE but people videoing, then they start throwing tear gas and flash bombs. The violence starts with ICE

Senator Ted Cruz posted a dramatic video of LAPD cars on fire with the caption “this… is… not… peaceful.” What he didn’t mention? The footage was from 2020, not 2025. His post on X falsely implied it was current, part of a broader effort to spread lies and manufacture a crisis.

The LAPD whenever they think no one can see

All I see here is three thugs sexually assaulting a woman.

LAPD when they think nobody is watching

This may help explain it, Josh. jacobin.com/2025/06/trum...

Dozens of journalists were assaulted by law enforcement in Los Angeles this weekend. The press were just doing their job -- a sacred one explicitly protected by law. Press rights orgs will follow up collectively tomorrow. Tonight, I emailed evidence to local/state/federal officials. My sign off:

Booker: "We have a president who did nothing as people stormed our Capitol, & then when those people who viciously beat police & led to some of their deaths - therefore cop killers - were convicted, he pardoned them. So for him to be talking about responsive law enforcement is hypocritical at best"

Things are escalating fast on the freeway in Los Angeles. Tear gas canisters are being kicked back and forth

The greta video

SWAT shoot at a woman for filming them.

Maybe we shouldn't focus so much on trump? jacobin.com/2025/06/trum...

AND... Well we are focusing on mocking Trump, this guy continues to get away with murder. jacobin.com/2025/06/trum...

Maybe we should look at the architect of this policy, then. jacobin.com/2025/06/trum...

Mark, maybe we just want to talk about different things from what you want to talk about? jacobin.com/2025/06/trum...

And who is really taking away everything we thought our taxes were paying for? jacobin.com/2025/06/trum...

I’m so sick of this lying fuck

Mandatory vasectomies, or no sex, especially in red states.

Shame on you, Fifth Estate! You are one of the last bastions of our democracy. Stand up! We do not need cowards right now!

Fact check: True.

Every accusation is a confession

Happy #Pride from your favs! 😍🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

This is a consistent theme since yesterday from people on the ground in Paramount. Yes, there are crowds, there are protesters. But they are PEACEFUL. ICE began firing tear gas, flash bangs and smoke bombs once they saw people who happened to be there start filming.

The world is watching. And we have friends everywhere. Upload everything, every moment. Don’t give them the chance to twist the truth. We have people on the way to help. You’re not alone. ✊🌙💚

They want a "meritocracy". Somehow that translated to erasing people of color, women, and trans people from federal websites. They were on the websites because they had earned attention for their extraordinary acts, including military heroes. I guess the only people of merit in the US are white men.
