We’ve uncovered fraud, waste, and abuse! ICE has now exceeded its congressionally approved budget. ICE is violating the Antideficiency Act by spending beyond Congressional authorization.

Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.

A woman walking home alone was shot point-blank with “non-lethal” rounds fired by officers in Los Angeles. A neighbor filmed the assault and rushed to help only to be fired on and ordered back.

ICE is gearing up to deploy to these blue cities: Chicago, NYC, the DC area, Seattle, and Philly. If any of these are your hometowns—get ready. If not—watch anyway, all the way through, because Trump’s unhinged order will affect you. Spread the word.

May the anti-ICE movement continue to spread nationwide! This is the Los Angeles spirit your news broadcast isn’t showing…

The medical community needs to set up a shadow HHS, NIH, CDC. We need a rock solid set of experts to counter the regime’s homicidal misinformation. Please.

This is on all the Senators who turned a blind eye and voted to confirm. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/09/h...

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.

Salvadoran restaurant workers rendering aid to an LA sheriff's officer who got pepper-sprayed. 🤔

But please, PLEASE don't call them "The Gestapo" as it hurts their delicate feelings.

NEW: Hegseth is deploying Marines against U.S. citizens. Mayor Bass says to know your rights :

For decades the NRA and other gun nuts told us that their guns were to protect us all from a tyrannical government. So a tyrannical government is here, they are all sitting on their asses, and the people who want gun control have taken to the streets to defy the tyrannical government instead.

If you're a Marine or other service member being mobilized to Los Angeles and you'd like to apply for conscientious objector status, call the GI Rights Hotline to get some guidance on your options: 1-877-447-4487

Marine veterans are speaking out against the troop deployment in Los Angeles. Across the country, they’re taking down their American flags that have flown in front of their homes for years. Remember, we have friends everywhere.

Just come out of surgery where they removed a 40mm less lethal round from My leg. One like this.

To the sons/daughters who are national guards. This is your mother speaking. Do not follow Trump and his minions. You were raised to be better than this criminal.

Warning: ICE is planning 30 days of immigration raids across Los Angeles County. If you or someone you know may be impacted, now is the time to set up a support system, identify a safe place, and stay alert.

Coincidence that this is happening at the very moment authoritarian Donald Trump is threatening to use the US military against US citizens on the domestic streets in our cities? Maybe the parade was a pretext to move equipment into a city famous for protests. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSnt...

If you really want to drive the point home about how fucked up ICE is then people should start forcing Star Wars themes on ICE. Protesters should start playing the imperial march whenever ICE shows up and should also start dressing like the rebel alliance.

Healthcare for seniors is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse. Food for hungry kids is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse. A $45 military parade for a draft dodging felon *is* waste, fraud, and abuse. Paying the National Guard to attack US citizens *is* waste, fraud, and abuse.

ICE is the January 6 insurrectionists all over again. Only instead of attacking law enforcement, they are pretending to *be* law enforcement. And instead of just terrorizing at the Capitol, they are doing it EVERYWHERE.

AIDS Memorial Quilt on display October 11-13 1996 on the National Mall in Washington D.C. Let us never forget.

In an act of integrity and resistance, a supervisor in the Nashville federal prosecutor’s office resigned over how the Abrego Garcia case was being handled. The charges are bogus, pure political theater meant to justify a wrongful abduction.

West Virginia is warning that women who have a miscarriage could be charged with a crime unless they contact local police. Every woman in WV should call 911 every time they have a period. Gum up the system with malicious compliance. www.cnn.com/2025/06/06/h...

BREAKING The President of California’s largest union has been detained during an ICE raid.

“.. I work in Toys and we had about 600 price changes in the last couple days... EVERYTHING went up," one user posted last week. “It's f***ing crazy." @the-independent.com $WMT $TGT www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Earth will warm 1.5 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels in just two years, new data shows. Irreversible tipping points — like the melting of Arctic ice sheets or the collapse of coral reefs — are closer at hand than previously believed.

I can’t speak for anyone else, but this analogy of “Lady Liberty’ held captive, is exactly how I feel about this presidency & administration and what their attempting to do with our rights and freedoms… The New Yorker captured the feelings perfectly… One word, UNACCEPTABLE!

RFK Jr. is absolutely poisonous. He has now caused Dr. Lakshmi Panagiotakopoulos, the person in charge of COVID19 vaccinations at the CDC, to resign. She did so because RFK Jr. demanded that the experts in charge of vaccine guidance listen to him and not to the scientific evidence.

People so often overlook the importance of good penmanship.

I’m glad this made the Times.

Remember when Donald Trump tried to convince everyone that he would make a priority of clean air and clean water?

A big win! A panel of judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit just blocked the Trump administration’s push to move forward with massive layoffs. The court denied the government’s request to overturn a lower court ruling, meaning the layoffs can’t happen, for now.

The Musk buzzsaw at USAID has already killed an estimated 300,000 people, mostly children. That’s just the beginning.“Musk apparently did not anticipate that it would be bad P.R. for the world’s richest man to take food and medicine from the world’s poorest children.” www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

How Trump’s Regulatory Rollbacks Are Increasing Costs: A new DOGE tally claims that erasing rules on credit card fees, appliance standards and health insurance “saves the American people” money. Data show the opposite. (Coral Davenport and @stacycowley.bsky.social) www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/u...

Oh for the good old days when every editorial board in America LOUDLY demanded the Clintons shut down their charitable organization for fear it would be used to curry favor w/Hillary if she became President 🙃

5 years ago: “An incalculable loss” Today: Banning masks and restricting vaccine access

Did they return the deportees or just an empty plane? DoJ said they preferred to leave them in Djibouti and give them their 15 days of due process there. @reichlinmelnick.bsky.social

Good night 💤 We all should know that diversity makes for a rich tapestry, and we must understand that all the threads of the tapestry are equal in value no matter their color. Maya Angelou

The turnout in small towns across the country has been incredible drawing crowds of thousands. We’re already seeing over one million in attendance nationwide, and events are still underway. Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Ohio all had especially surprising showings.

Right Now, most of the American can relate to this message from the 90's.
