go.bsky.app/53yy9WJ “One has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws.” Martin Luther King Jr. my heart is in LA now - resist the nonsense violence we have to grow past the hate & violence for our species to survive - connect - call - post - talk - march - scream 💙

Who knew that, in the end, the human race would fall from too much stupid?

It will be so weird for all those Marines to be deployed so closely to all the Homeless Veterans that the GOP has ignored for decades on Skid Row. 🤷 Maybe the Marines can build houses for them while they are there. 🙏 🏠 🦺 🫡

California Governor Gavin Newsom posted a photo of National Guard troops that Trump had deployed to Los Angeles due to the protests. “You sent your troops here without fuel, food, water, or a place to sleep. And here they are, sleeping on the floor, piled high,” the governor wrote.

Farage wants to tie us into dead-end climate wrecking fossil fuel industries because he's in the pocket of oil and gas giants - instead we need a genuine Energy Jobs Plan to futureproof British industry and secure a long-term livelihood for workers news.sky.com/story/farage...

Protesters Urged Not To Give Trump Administration Pretext For What It Already Doing

@repmaxinewaters.bsky.social pleads with National Guard to not use their guns, yesterday.

The people complaining that immigrants need to seek citizenship "the right way" get very quiet when ICE kidnaps those same people on their way to immigration hearings.

FOX: Fox News alert… looks like a band is performing to a crowd in the street.. we see crowds building in Atlanta. You can see megaphones and signs

Lindsey Graham is as vulnerable as he has ever been because he is as unpopular as he has ever been.

Lindsey Graham is vulnerable because he doesn't have any ethics or values. His views are like quicksand, and he changes with the winds. Weak and pathetic.

BREAKING: Kamala Harris issues statement on Los Angeles.

A weak president, showing he's tough by calling out the guard where they aren't needed or wanted. He's weak on trade deals, and he's weak on peace negotiations. We see through your so-called bravado, TACO.

Californians, help your Governor @governor.ca.gov, defend your state and keep it safe. Please do as he says, stay calm and peaceful, and never use violence. Don't give Trump an excuse to escalate the situation; that is precisely what he wants. #OnYourSide

“Don’t give him an excuse” sounds so fucking insane. He’s illegally declaring that California is in a state of rebellion because some people got mad he was kidnapping people.

Independent journalism is when you can write what Terry Moran wrote without getting in trouble. Corporate journalism is when you can’t. It’s why many left the latter for the former. I understand the rationale behind corp journalism rules, I’m just glad they don’t apply to me

Please share this with everyone you know. This will stop if we make it stop. YOU have the power. USE IT WISELY!

What to know about counterprotests to Trump's June 14 parade Protestors are taking to the streets and community hubs nationwide on June 14 in what organizers expect will be the largest single-day anti-President Trump rally since the start of the administration. www.axios.com/2025/06/07/n...

If you’re documenting the ICE atrocities, make sure to back up your data. Don’t assume it’s safe in the cloud or on social media. Keep a copy (or multiple copies). I also strongly recommend journaling what you witnessed by hand if possible. Tell your story. The world is watching.

Everything that is happening in Los Angeles could've been avoided if folks had listened and voted for the sane and qualified black lady.

Remember this?

"Trump only cares about quelling violent protest or quelling protest writ large, when it's protest against him, that's fundamentally undemocratic, and it's frankly, an invitation for more violence on the streets." — Sen. Murphy on the president's handling of Los Angeles protests bit.ly/45bLVYF

Musk’s DOGE Goons Surreptitiously Transmitted Reams of White House Data #MuskIsCorrupt #TrumpIsCorrupt #TrumpAndMuskAreBothIdiots !! www.yahoo.com/news/musk-do...

“The methods Trump threatened in Los Angeles this weekend could be much more effective in November 2026 than the attempted civilian coup of January 2021,” more: theatln.tc/0WAwG6n4 (this appears to be NOT behind a paywall text)

It is the case that Senate Dems have to do everything they can to tank the Big Ugly--and that Elon's meltdown and differences between Senators and Republicans create opportunity. It is also the case that Stephen Miller (and others) are AFFIRMATIVELY using chaos Miller caused to pitch the bill.

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. ☎️ 1-877-447-4487 From #veterans to #activeduty personnel.

It was never a lie. It was always the truth.

Newsom: We talked for 20 minutes, this issue never came up. I kept trying to talk about LA, he wanted to talk about all these other issues. He never once brought up the national guard. There’s no working with the President. There’s only working for him. I will never work for Trump

👀 @johnfugelsang.bsky.social : “Ever notice nobody hates other Americans more than Americans who boast how American they are? Cali gives $80 BILLION more than it takes... This isn’t even legal. The only thing he hates more than the new testament is the constitution.”

Keep the pressure on the very few republicans who know none of this is okay

“Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.” @thebulwark.com www.thebulwark.com/p/a-permanen...

Anderson Cooper & Scott Pelley talk about how corporate news orgs don’t have the support of their corporate overlords to speak truth to power. This is why independent outlets like us exist. Would be great if we didn’t have to. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Study after study show immigrants are a net positive to the US economy, and yet they don’t get the same benefits that citizens do. Hate is in power. Hate is winning. We need to fight back. Humanist values will win. And the children of these hateful people will look at their parents in disgust.

CNN: “Israel has intercepted a Gaza-bound aid ship carrying Greta Thunberg and other prominent activists, detaining those onboard…” www.cnn.com/2025/06/08/m...

What the immigrant community needs to do is refuse to work. Go on a national strike. Let America experience life without immigrant labor.

It is difficult to overstate how much I loathe such selfish dumbasses:

Trump congratulating the California National Guard for a job well done, BEFORE ANY NATIONAL GUARD PERSONNEL ARRIVED TO THE PROTEST. TRUMP IS ALWAYS LYING. TRUMP ALWAYS CALLING PEOPLE NAME. TRUMP IS AN OVERLY EMOTIONAL TODDLER WITH POOR IMPULSE CONTROL. TRUMP IS UNFIT DUMP TRUMP

Did you know that when Pam Bondi said "We presented El Salvador with an arrest warrant and they agreed to return him," she was admitting she failed to follow the extradition process, proving he could have been returned at any time? My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/abrego-gar...

#WeSufferNoKings It is not illegal to peacefully demonstrate. Go straight to Hell, Donald.

🧵

As someone who lives in Los Angeles, don’t let social or mainstream media gaslight you into thinking there’s a violent uprising taking place here. The Trump administration is trying to punish this state and this city. He’s also setting a precedent to unleash troops on Democratic cities.
