11 people shot in Idaho by unknown gunmen, nine firefighters and two cops, police don’t know if it’s one person or several. The shootings are happening in an area surrounded by right wing Nazi militias. Firefighters were responding to a fire when they were ambushed.

Oh, Canada 🇨🇦

People freaking out about having a socialist in the NYC mayoral residence but OK with having a fascist in the White House.

ICE/CBP 🧨 use explosives to blast their way into a US citizens home in LA while she was with her 2 young kids

I would have gone with scruffy looking nerf herder myself 🤷

A group in San Diego is patrolling neighborhoods to identify potential ICE presence. They keep watch for vehicles that may belong to federal agencies, and use livestreams, radios, and social media to keep communities informed. boltsmag.org/how-vol...

When they can’t deport people fast enough, they’ll figure out alternative ways to get rid of them. The holocaust started with deportations and citizenship stripping. It’s not new. #3E

White terrorism knows no boundaries! Not even for White people!

NASHVILLE: “It’s been 106 days since Kilmar was abducted by Trump and separated from our family… he has missed graduations, Father’s Day, and today our anniversary.” Abrego Garcia’s wife Jennifer spoke before his hearing. He’ll be released soon- but possibly into ICE custody.

Republicans want to add work requirements for Americans to get Medicaid. Is that a necessary step to fight "waste, fraud, and abuse" or a sneaky way of cutting the social safety net?

WATCH: “That’s my sister! She’s a 🇺🇸 citizen!” Unmarked, unidentified — Trump’s Gestapo grab a citizen as her family watches, and the police do nothing. “the only thing she did wrong was the color of her skin” — Racist. Unconstitutional. Kidnapping. www.instagram.com/reel/DLWaNyc...

instead of doing critical coverage, Hegseth urges reporters to "Wave an American flag. Be proud of what we accomplished."

Hey LA....

Schrier to RFK Jr: You gave Cassidy the answer he needed to hear in order to get his confirmation vote, then as soon as you were secretary you turned around & fired all 17 members. You lied. I also want to be clear that I will lay all responsibility for every vaccine-preventable death at your feet.

The importance of the world’s dictators, oligarchs and their ilk is circling the drain.

All Protocol Observed Welcome to Issue 204 of The Continent Trafficking of African women into abusive domestic work remains rampant. This week we reveal a man moving women from Zambia to Pakistan — where they're exploited. Authorities know, but he's walking free. Get your copy here: bit.ly/204_TC

Robert May has taken the GOP’s ‘family values’ initiative in a very dark direction.

Brutal.

State Senator Tom Fernandez of South Carolina genuinely felt that a middle finger and a $289K truck made him appear strong. It simply made identifying the Nazi easier.

Denver SWAT called in for a small group of 40 peaceful protestors Firing off pepper bullets and tear gas

Breaking news from MSNBC: the protest from Los Angeles has been huge & peaceful all day. Right now, the police are using tear gas, pepper spray, & flash bangs on the protesters. The reporter has a gas mask on & is confirming the protesters were peaceful. “Law enforcement” wants a war.

Remarkable. MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful." Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd. Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

Melissa Hortman, a former Minnesota House speaker, was assassinated early Saturday in what Gov. Tim Walz called “an act of targeted political violence.” Here’s a look at Hortman’s legislative history and legacy on key policies.

Tear gas and pepper spray, types of chemical irritants, can cause serious health effects—and, in some cases, lasting harm—including tearing, pain, and burning of the eyes, skin irritation, sore throat, sneezing, coughing, and vomiting.

A former Minnesota House speaker and her spouse were killed and a state senator and his wife were wounded in targeted shootings early Saturday at their homes near Minneapolis, officials said.

RFK Jr now going after ALL vaccines. He argues that the Covid vaccine (which he’s restricted) was the only one that had proper safety testing. He says they “dysregulate the immune system”. Get your boosters. He’s setting the stage for “natural immunity” where only “the strong survive” Eugenics.

Q: The president said that if he were Tom Homan he would arrest Gavin Newsom. Do you believe Newsom should face consequences in a legal way? MIKE JOHNSON: Um, that's not my lane. I'm not gonna give you legal analysis on whether Gavin Newsom should be arrested. But he ought to be tar and feathered.

Q: Is there a red line for congressional Republican regarding President Trump's use of executive power? If he invoked the Insurrection Act or directed federal law enforcement to arrest Newsom, would Congress should step in? MIKE JOHNSON: Look, I'm not going to engage in hypotheticals

Several people were killed in a shooting at a school in Graz, Austria, police say

Police have declared all of downtown Los Angeles to be an unlawful assembly area and ordered protesters to go home, after Sunday, June 8, saw a third day of violence hit demonstrations against President Donald Trump's immigration policy. Follow Reuters live coverage: reut.rs/4n0t9dh
