Just some creepy armed Mad Max guys trying to gain entry to Dodgers Stadium. ICE says it wasn’t them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? They’ve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.

On this Juneteenth, a day commemorating the end of slavery, remember that the white supremacist currently in the Oval Office, made over $1 Million selling a Bible that purports to have the Amendments to the Constitution in it, but skipped the Amendment ending slavery. abovethelaw.com/2024/05/trum...

Like I've said before, if you have any doubts about climate change, just go to a super-boring insurance conference and listen to the super-boring panels where they dryly talk about the growing threat of disasters so catastrophic and unpredictable in scope they simply cannot be insured at any price.

Doug Ford the Conservatives Primer of Ontario said he would be consulting with the indigenous community in regards to Bill 5. He air dropped the paper work to the reserve. He did not consult with them at all. This is another reason I do not vote conservatives.! This is NOT ok!

LA DODGERS just now: “This morning, ICE agents came to Dodger Stadium and requested permission to access the parking lots. They were denied entry to the grounds by the organization. Tonight’s game will be played as scheduled.” Right on, Dodgers! More of this, please.

Happy Juneteenth! Today commemorates the end of slavery in the U.S. It’s a day to celebrate Black strength, resiliency, and joy. But as Trump tries to reverse progress, we all need to recognize how his cruelty disproportionately impacts Black Americans. 1/

On June 25, we're joining IFPTE Local 98 to keep ICE out of the workplace. We're demanding: - An end to ICE raids + arrests in ALL workplaces - Due process for all + an end to expedited removals - Safer federal buildings - Protection for those needing government services + the workers who serve them

Having a bit of a hard time with the concept that if a guy in a police uniform who has a police vehicle shows up I should lock the doors and call 911, but if a guy in a ski mask with an hGH gut appears to be kidnapping my neighbor, I shouldn’t ask who he is if I don’t want federal charges.

Yes! No Kings showed incredible strength in numbers, but to remove Trump from power, we need more leverage than 1-day marches can provide. Boycotting air travel is a noncooperative, "stay-at-home" style protest that anyone can join. More here: groundtheplanes.com

ICE agents detain people coming out from hearings at immigration court who have upcoming scheduled hearings. ICE agents unilaterally grabs them and drags them away. When people abiding by the law get arrested, and the government openly defies the law, it’s fascism.
