This is serious, rigorous analysis and it should change the way the media has been covering these protests. These were, in the aggregate, *massive.*

Padilla on Noem: "How does the cabinet secretary not know the senator from California when she steps foot into Los Angeles? She came through the Senate for confirmation."

"An Australian man who was detained upon arrival at Los Angeles airport and deported back to Melbourne says United States border officials told him it was due to his writing on pro-Palestine protests by university students" www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

I wrote up some of our top findings from the #NoKings day of action yesterday: danarfisher.com/2025/06/15/t...

"Peace & prosperity" update: We regret to inform you…

This has to be one of the top five most disturbing snapshots of the United States of America.

Hi everyone I was denied entry, detained, and deported from the USA over the last 48 hours because of my reporting on the Columbia student protests I arrived back in Melbourne hours ago and had my phone handed back to me upon landing

Schrödinger's parade - the crowd was both sparse and dense.

Trump’s puny parade a dud. He reverses Miller on all out ICE dragnet. Israel and Iran ignore him. What a pathetically weak little man. Polls show parade and ICE tactics hugely unpopular.Rs going to get wiped out in 202) if his downward spiral continues.

Our military deserves better than this empty charade. Yikes. The tank squeaking over silence is incredible.

Fox News brings on Rebekah Koffler to talk about the military parade, but she seems to be heavily intoxicated so they cut away with quickness

MSNBC reporter on ground in LA right now saying that from what he has seen the protestors have been peaceful but the LA Sheriff’s Dept in particular has been off the chain, quick to use tear gas and rubber bullets in an exceedingly aggressive manner

LAPD and LA Sheriffs tried to prevent two large protests from joining together in downtown and both departments ended up hitting EACH OTHER with impact munitions from across the same interesection.

Nothing says "250th Army Celebration" like arresting a group of veterans… www.yahoo.com/news/police-...

From a dear comrade who was kind enough to let me share their video. Veterans stage a sit-in on the US Capitol steps and say, “Military off our streets!” Hell yeah!

Be highly skeptical of online claims that the individual who attacked Democrats was one himself. A quick look at his online activity, his comments, the accounts he followed, suggests otherwise.

Dispatch from Kingston, NY, where over 20% of the city population took to the streets to protest ⬇️

Klasfeld on Abrego Garcia case: One of the cooperating witnesses is serving a 30-year sentence. What comes out during the hearing is that: he’s getting leniency on his prison sentence, is now in a halfway house, and is also receiving favorable treatment with his immigration situation.

Is the U.S. officially a oblast of Russia? Is this what is happening here?

UPDATE: Organizers are accusing the president of putting on the parade as a show of dominance. The protests were peaceful, but came against the backdrop of assassinations in Minnesota.

“If ICE is going to wear a mask in their uniform, then I can.”

1. BREAKING The Associated Press has confirmed that 57-year-old Vance Boelter is the suspect in the assassination and attempted assassination of two Minnesota Democratic lawmakers and their spouses.

Can’t believe we’ve lost Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark. She was a consummate Speaker who led her caucus brilliantly and achieved so much for Minnesota. I’ve campaigned with Melissa throughout the state and was forever impressed by her levelheaded, yet passionate, leadership. (1/2)

President Trump is not above the law. We will hold him accountable and show up for our rights in the courts, in Congress, and in the streets.

Standing loud and proud with Maine to say there are #NoKings in America! 🇺🇸

Hundreds, maybe more, in Des Plaines, Illinois. The middle of this country fucking hates this guy.

San Diego SHOWED UP! I’ve been here for 30 years and have NEVER seen anything like this! #NOKINGS
