Here’s some history of watches and immigration law from the always amazing menswear guy

More Americans voted for Senator Alex Padilla than for 48 of the 53 red state GOP U.S. Senators combined.

And Breyer has ruled the deployment illegal: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

BREAKING: Judge Breyer orders Trump to return control of the National Guard back to California, saying the call-up was illegal. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Shut it all down. National strike.

In the midst of all this distraction let’s not forget that Trump is all over the Epstein files and Elon has implied he helped steal the 2024 election

🚨BREAKING: A senior official in DHS held a briefing for a far-right anti-voting group on Thursday, according to an email sent by the group. The virtual meeting was to discuss how a database run by the department can be used to verify the citizenship status of registered voters.

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.

The state of California needs to arrest the DHS "security" forces for assault and every Democrat in the U.S. Senate needs to sign onto a campaign to impeach Kristi Noem. Right fucking now.

A U.S. senator being physically removed for saying “I have a question” isn’t just a bad look. It’s authoritarian energy. You don’t lay hands on oversight. You answer to it and everyone should be paying attention to how they won’t.

Kristi Noem today about Los Angeles: "We are going to liberate the city from the burdensome leadership, mayor and governor."

This is the most important monthly donation I make. Please consider doing the same if you can!

Alex Padilla boldly showing other Democrats how to get it done. Stay in their faces, challenge their lies!

Wow, this is a big deal. I hope congressmen from the Republican Party are listening because this is on them

This is very good and very timely, because at least now if your home is wrongfully raided by ICE, you can sue the US government. Not that it'll be quick, but it's something. Unanimous opinion 9:0. www.npr.org/2025/06/12/n...

i've been trying to see what the right wing platforms (even outside of X) are showing people regarding the protests in LA and i am not sure it can be overstated just how much the AI slop is being used to reinforce the idea that downtown is a post-apocalyptic war zone

How can people be detained by a US soldier to be arrested later by a LEO? How will the arresting officers know what the charges are? How will they know there was probable cause? How will they prosecute cases - will soldiers become witnesses in civilian criminal trials? youtu.be/d-5ey0KwYkU?...

This is how you do it

New! ‘No Kings’ protests suddenly take on a greater urgency www.headsupnews.org/p/no-kings-p... From Heads Up News.

Join HILL Rapid Response Team for an action outside the Westin LAX, Thursday, June 12th starting at 3PM into early evening. ICE has been verified as staying at this hotel, we are demanding they leave our neighborhood. Bring signs, noise makers, & ear plugs. Face-coverings recommended for safety.

Slavery is still a key element of the American economy

time for yet another distraction

Imagine if every person going to a protest this weekend also took five minutes to email and call their Representative about impeachment. What would Congress feel? They would be *overwhelmed.* Shock and awe. Here is how to make it happen: citizensimpeachment.com/advocate-for...

This is actually a perfect joke

Cary López Alvarado, a US citizen, “lost her balance as agents ‘shoved her’ during her arrest over the weekend, she tearfully told NBC Los Angeles on Mon. from a hospital bed.” "With just one week left before her due date, her doctors said they are monitoring López Alvarado as well as her baby …”

ICE seemingly confirms they are using National Guard as security to conduct immigration raids. Let's call this what it is, militarized ethnic cleansing.

Absolute fucking 🔥. "Over eight hours...people throwing back tear gas...throwing anything that they could to defend themselves...Border Patrol retreated. “And the hundreds of workers in the factories were able to escape. If any community was going to fight back without apology, it was this one."
