NEW: Trump Cancels Deal With Tribes to Restore Columbia River Salmon, w/ @opb.org

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but scheduled protests are not an emergency. fox4kc.com/news/missour...

Let’s stop pretending we’re living through anything resembling normal. Let’s bury the lie that the Rep. Party is a political movement. It’s not. It’s a radicalized cult of personality wrapped in the American flag & soaked in gasoline, waiting for the next match. open.substack.com/pub/jojofrom...

🧵Over 6,000 doctors, nurses, researchers, and others released an open letter of warning against the administration’s destruction of public health, research, and Medicaid programs. “We are certain this will cost lives.” This is the energy we need right now. Refuse to be silent. Lives depend on it.

Not taking anything away from Senator Padilla because he was treated atrociously But I JUST want to remind everyone that the Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, a Black woman, was just indicted for just asking questions at an ICE detention center in her state Keep that same energy of support for her

yep! unpaywalled:

I love this…it was my pinned tweet on Twitter. Unsure if we can do that here, so just sharing again 💕

In the United States, the future of free speech is on the line. Not just for me. But for millions.

Padilla: If this is how DHS responds to a senator with a question you can only imagine what they're doing to farm workers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California.

🧵 We need to make this clear: Americans are not opposed to immigration enforcement — we are opposed to UNCONSTITUTIONAL ENFORCEMENT that violates due process and the rule of law.

So far there are at least seven incidents where criminals have pretended to be ICE agents as a pretext to committing crimes. This is why ICE Agents need to: Show their badge. Show their face. Show their warrants. youtube.com/shorts/CMVPM...

“Dog chases down ambulance that owner is being transported in. When EMS realise, they let the dog in.” Love this 🥰❤️ #DogSky #Reddit r\NextF***ingLevel

This! We can’t help those ppl that have been hit by a tornado, fire, earthquake, hurricane, flood. You’re 💩 outta luck. But we’re sending hundreds of troops to LA to sleep on the ground and eat rations while nothing happens.

What the hell??!! AMERICANS, wake up!!! This is not how we are supposed to be. So broken.

Navarro: I'm very happy to see somebody that isn't afraid to speak up and call an authoritarian an authoritarian. And if it's Newsom, as a result of what's happening in California now, I welcome it because I have been so thirsty for somebody that is not cowardly

@pelosi.house.gov: "On January 6th...we begged the president of the United States to send in the National Guard. He would not do it...And yet, in a contra-constitutional way, he has sent the National Guard into California. Something is very wrong with this picture."

This is what humans do for one another

She was right.

Newsom: "Arrest me. Let's just get it over with, tough guy. I don't give a damn ... Tom, arrest me. Let's go."

Mr. Authoritarian President, why weren’t you as interested in upholding “very strong law and order” during the insurrection on the Nation’s Capital as you are now in LA? Was your inaction then a result of your having incited the insurrection? #WeMustImpeachTrump!

ATTN: If you’re a member of the National Guard or you work for ICE and you’re asked to violate the law or your oath, contact Whistleblower Aid to safely, securely, and legally blow the whistle. You can support Whistleblower Aid HERE: whistlebloweraid.org/beans

Absolutely! Peacefully! Link arms, sing songs, dance, hold your signs! Remember MLK showed us the way! “We shall overcome!”

If you are National Guard or Active Duty military and you are being ordered to violate the constitutional rights of US citizens then this is the number to the GI Rights Hotline. There is support. You don’t have to go through with it. 877-447-4487

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.

1/ If accurate, this is almost certainly a conflict with the Posse Comitatus Act, which prohibits the use of the military for domestic law enforcement, including the National Guard if they are federalized.

Ahem.

Los Angeles school worker shares frustration over parents having to leave their children’s graduation ceremony because ICE raided an elementary school’s graduation today

💥 @repdangoldman.bsky.social speaks out about his confrontation with “plain-clothes ICE agents” wearing masks. “You can’t require Columbia University to ban masks in order to get federal funding while you turn around and have federal government enforcement law enforcement agents wearing masks.”

81 years ago, thousands of brave Allied troops stormed the beaches of Normandy — knowing the risks, but fighting anyway to defend freedom and democracy. Their courage helped change the course of history. We remember their sacrifice with deep gratitude, and we honor all who serve in their footsteps.

Happy D-Day anniversary to all those who, unlike Donald Trump, think D-Day was a good thing

No way.

#Boycott These corporate jackasses are unbelievable. #Pride deserves better.
