100% police instigated.

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

The media have memory holed McVeigh’s white supremacism and conspiracism but the biggest memory hole at all was that he was a gun rights activist.

Every decision made that impacts people overseas, not only reflects the moral commitments (or lack thereof) of the government you live under--but is also a snapshot of how the government will treat you.

Troops marching out of step behind an empty mobile country and western stage captures everything our commander-in-chief has brought to our military.

Sen. Amy Klobuchar dined with Melissa Hortman, a Minnesota lawmaker and decades-long friend, just hours before she and her husband were shot and killed in what authorities are saying was a politically motivated killing. “I wish everyone had known her like we knew her,” Klobuchar told POLITICO.

The audio book was a great listen.

Omgggg

We should've made a bigger national crisis of someone breaking into Nancy Pelosi's home & trying to kill her husband. But then, we should've made a bigger national crisis about hundreds of someones breaking into the Capitol & trying to steal an election. But then, we should've done lots of things.

Yesssssss… I love this 🙌🏼

Isn’t the sponsor “the American tax payer?”

I think in our case we need to take it up to Diderot levels. #NoKings

Remarkable. MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful." Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd. Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

"Used as an area weapon, tear gas is indiscriminate in its effects—it harms everyone in its vicinity regardless of whether one is engaged in militant actions in a demonstration, protesting peacefully, or merely observing" ihrp.law.utoronto.ca/sites/defaul...

Shameful.

Jesus. The juxtaposition of these two posts back to back is just...

Last night, Capitol Police arrested roughly 60 veterans and their family members outside the U.S. Capitol. The group had gathered to hold a peaceful sit-in on the Capitol steps, but police intentionally set up a barrier of bike racks to prevent them from demonstrating.

It should not be lost on anyone that Minnesota Rep Melissa Hortman, who was shot to death in her home last night by an assassin, was a gun safety advocate who worked tirelessly to protect her constituents from gun violence.

Literally the Russian flag in the post. Two of them

What if, instead of bringing down grocery prices, we A. Terrorized people B. Raised them

Los Angeles born and raised former Marine arrested for ... passing out protective gear. Surveillance of Chicano activists mirrors that of Black activists and anyone else the gov't doesn't like. patch.com/california/b...

1m people allegedly in boston today. the scale of this is just crazy. i think record-breaking www.wcvb.com/article/more...

Even if you only care about citizens and not people living here since they were teenagers, this does incredible harm to two American citizens and helps no one at all. Except Miller and other ghouls who get off on violence to dark skinned people. www.military.com/daily-news/2...

law enforcement officials say they made a proactive check at Rep. Hortman's home after a lawmaker who lived nearby was shot and found a "police vehicle in the driveway with emergency lights and what appeared to be a police officer at the door coming out of the house." He was actually the gunman.

The East Coast has shown up, 2.4 million and counting, with massive turnouts in small towns across the country. Shoutout to the Carolinas, Georgia, and Ohio for showing up strong!

Walz announces that Rep. Melissa Hortman is dead as a result of a "politically motivated assassination"

<thread> On the left: June 12, Judge Breyer writing that THE test for whether the US Marines/Guard violate Posse Comitatus will be whether they've engaged in "detaining" civilians. On the right: June 13: See for yourself. Note: The DoD has confirmed the detention of civilian to Reuters.

""It's really hard to fathom that the guy making my pizza for 25 years is a gangster and a terrorist, and the person who shows up in an unmarked car wearing a mask and body armor comes to take him away is somehow the good guy," said Simon..." www.wnep.com/article/news...

“Pretty much wherever you are, you’re probably less than 30 minutes away from your closest No Kings event.” - @leahgreenberg.bsky.social with @democracynow.org We hope to see you at your local #NoKings Day mobilization on Saturday: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

I would love a drone footage of these troops guarding the federal buildings against no one. @dprzygoda.bsky.social know anyone?

What they aren’t showing on Fox News

Well we still have famine to look forward to. How great for us.

Double.

"I voted for lawless, anonymous, masked, and unchecked police" is one hell of a jump from "eggs cost too much."

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem called Los Angeles a “city of criminals” and not a city of immigrants. But like its name, Los Angeles is a city of angels. We protect and look out for one another, especially the most vulnerable.

Gov. Newsom is inarguably cooking on the socials

"U.S. Marine Corps troops mobilized in Los Angeles will be tasked with defending federal property and personnel, two U.S. Department of Defense officials said."

In Trump’s appeal of EJ Carroll’s $83.3 million defamation verdict against him, set for oral argument June 24, Trump & DOJ have jointly moved to postpone. The request is based on a claim he & DOJ raised after appellate briefing was complete. ... 1/6 storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

There are protests nationwide — Saturday, not Sunday — but *not* in DC. Find your protest at nokings.org.

This is why healthcare is too expensive. "Here’s a wild-but-true factoid: 10 of the 20 largest companies on the new Fortune 500 list derive profit from the 340B program. I guess you can’t throw off tens of billions of profits without titans of industry figuring out how to get their hands on it."

The folks hollering about “family values” are out here tearing families apart with unlawful ICE raids, militarized police, & the weaponization of government. All while ripping away food & healthcare from working-class families. Are the family values in the room with us?
