When journalist’s are punished for speaking truth to power, it’s the heart of a Dictatorship. @abcnews.bsky.social knee is bent so far that they couldn’t stand even if they wanted to. State run media, Putin style. What a disgrace they have become. #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1

Veteran reminds active duty Marines to uphold the standard and refuse any illegal order to harm US civilians. #NoKings

Allegedly the units sent this out, that soldiers who disagreed politically could ask to be excused from attending the speech. Army didn't want the optics of having people not applaud the President.

NOW — I’m at the ICE OUT OF NEW YORK protest in Foley Square.

NEW As usual for major news events, disinformation on social media is running unchecked during the ICE protests in LA So people are turning to chatbots like Grok and ChatGPT for fact checking The problem is, the bots are making the situation much worse www.wired.com/story/grok-c...

I'm not having a good day; at all. My country is all in a huge mess. Who can, actually be okay with dis? They can all screw themselves, HARD!!! The whole system is rigged. All of it! For one purpose only... to get rich: as they draw a paycheck from US. How screwed up is dat? Do tell.

ON NOVEMBER 5th ALL you had to do was VOTE 🗳️ FOR THIS OVER QUALIFIED BLACK WOMAN💙 YOU GOT WHAT YOU VOTED FOR GOOD LUCK AMERIKKKA 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 RACISM AND MISOGYNY ARE EXPENSIVE 😏

You know, it would be a good day for some patriotic anonymous government worker who's likely to get fired anyway to release those unredacted Epstein files.

Sen. Kevin Cramer on raising the federal minimum wage, which is currently $7.25: "I don't even know why we have a 'federal minimum wage' to be honest ... I think the market works really well ... I just think manipulating markets with mandatory wages doesn't make any sense."

If you want to understand why LA residents feel under attack, undercover DHS agents lying about their identity and authorizations to try to kidnap LA children seems a good start. People just do not understand the attacks LA is under by Trumpists right now.

MADDOW: “What is this country going to allow him to do? This is an attempted authoritarian overthrow of the 🇺🇸 Constitution and Government… imposition of a dictatorial regime. The strength of the movement against him is what will determine our fate as a country.”

From porn to backstabbing, this story has it all. www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

If you have watched The Handmaid's Tale you will recognize the attack on "gender traitors." These assholes hope to be able to make homosexuality illegal and punishable as a criminal act. These same people also want to take away birth control and punish miscarriages. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/08/u...

Trump wants to suspend Posse Comitatus. People think this is just about his hate for liberal California, but if he invokes the Insurrection Act; it’s all 50 states.

Jersey City has become the latest municipality to ban AI rent gouging software, joining San Francisco, Philadelphia, Minneapolis, and San Diego.

This is a reminder to all reporters that "less lethal" is not the same as "less than lethal" and just because they might be less likely to kill it's no guarantee they won't.

What’s happening in Los Angeles is a personal question to all of us, regardless of where we live, asking how much we’re willing to do to preserve the America we call home and claim to love. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/we-are-all...

Trump’s dream of mass deportations has always suffered from logistical and practical obstacles that make the entire exercise part cruelty, part performance, and part salve of his fragile ego. talkingpointsmemo.com/morning-memo...

CNN’s Jason Carroll was zip-tied and escorted away—for reporting the news. But they claimed he wasn’t under arrest? Why are they shooting rubber bullets at and silencing journalists? We still have a First Amendment.

Literally all I’m asking for is for elected Democrats to treat the unpopular evil stuff as being unpopular and evil, because when they don’t, that signals to everyone that it’s not all that evil and it becomes less unpopular

🚨 SOUTH PHILLY: ICE was spotted on 7th & Snyder at 9am this morning; their two unmarked Dodge SUVs (one gray, one black) are heading South on Broad as of 10am. Community members have eyes on them—alert your neighbors! KKF 7661 gray Dodge SUV LTM 932 black Dodge SUV

The administration is threatening all national parks & lands. We must stop them from continuing to erase history. #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory

#BlueskyResistance #Voices4Victory #ProudBlue NOTHING LIKE SELECTIVE GOVERNANCE… that’s how trump rolls.

❗️A U.S. Marine Corps Ah-1Z "Viper" helicopter, armed with HYDRA missiles, flies between the skyscrapers of 🇺🇸Los Angeles.

Dr. Richard Besser, president and CEO of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and former acting director of the CDC in the Obama administration, said Kennedy's move "should erase any remaining doubt that he intends to impose his personal anti-vaccine agenda on the American people."

I left the SBC almost 20 years ago and I couldn’t be prouder to have nothing to do with them… www.nytimes.com/2025/06/08/u...

Musk's Twitter is now running paid advertising calling for the extrajudicial execution of protesters in Los Angeles. In most countries around the world, this is a criminal act.

The fact that so many were so eager to shoot at the press is a big tell fyi.

California is #2 in life expectancy. Alabama is #49

Tom Homan is such a pathological liar and unrepentant white supremacist that I wish him hell on earth. He is just a bald faced liar. And when you create and perpetuate ugly lies against innocent people for the purpose of harming them and their families, you deserve everything you get.

The media is going to BOTH SIDES us right into martial law

#ProudBlue This is what is happening in LA right now. We don’t need help. We don’t want the Marines or National Guard. Our city & state are fine!!! GET OUT! @jesscraven101.bsky.social video credit

The State Election Board exceeded its authority by passing new voting rules last year, the Georgia Supreme Court unanimously ruled Tuesday, limiting the Republican-led board’s power. An unsurprising and fairly obvious ruling. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

Here is the US military's Northern Command announcing deployment of US Marines on US soil. This should be a much bigger deal for all. This is how democracies die. We are one step from Trump ordering tanks in the streets to occupy Blue cities. www.northcom.mil/Newsroom/Pre...

If MyPillowGuy Mike Lindell loses his election rigging defamation trial in Denver, this will be the day that did it. And the witness who sealed his fate? Himself.

The general public is so scientifically illiterate that most of you don't even know how bad it is going to get & in a very short amount of time. But also how irreversible alot of this is We will never recover from the loss of brilliant minds, of innovations, &of PEOPLE when this gets out of control

i think the david shor types would argue for slavery because it increased support for democrats by suburban white moms by 2%

When they think no one is looking. *Cops damaging their own cars?

My friend @hannahpingree.bsky.social is running for Governor of Maine and I couldn’t be more fired up and ready to go. LFG. #MEpol

Leaders in Austin, San Marcos, and Dallas have raised concerns about how police are using automated license plate readers following reports of ICE searches Austin just ended their program. San Marcos halted an expansion of their program. Dallas could be next. thebarbedwire.com/2025/06/10/c...

In 2022 and 2023, the Department of Homeland Security and the Justice Department tracked foreign nationals visiting Elon Musk’s properties, amid concerns over foreign influence, the WSJ reports. The investigation involved individuals from Eastern Europe and elsewhere. Clearly not an issue now.

New from 404 Media: Delta, United, American etc don't want you to know they sold your flight data to DHS. The country's airlines sell bulk names and flight itineraries to DHS to be searched without a warrant. Contract tells DHS to not reveal where this data came from www.404media.co/airlines-don...
