A group of veterans have just been arrested protesting against Trump at the Capital👇

This isn’t North Korea. This is America. And it’s terrifying.

ICE abducted Moises Sotelo today. He is a trusted vineyard management business owner from Newburg, Oregon, who has been in the US since 1994. He has a wife, three children, and five grandchildren who need him to be returned safely to them.

ICE in CA with Texas plates 🤔

🚨3 Secrets You’ll Love About No Kings Day 👑 This episode drops three game changing surprises for June 14. If you’re hitting the streets this Saturday you won't want to miss this one! 🇺🇸 youtu.be/j-w1ePtboM8?...

JUST IN: A Federal Judge blocks Trump from deploying National Guard in LA. The ruling orders Trump to return control of the National Guard to the Governor by Friday. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06...

Senator Padilla wasn't the first elected official to face intimidation from the Trump administration for doing his job, but he must be the last. Tell DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and FBI Director Kash Patel to put an end to these abuses of power immediately.

I'm on my way to the Senate floor to talk about the assault on my colleague, Senator Alex Padilla. This is a horrifying moment in our nation’s history.

So far we've always had the "luxury" of thinking "only 4 years, this too shall pass" Not this time, WE DO NOT HAVE THAT LUXURY ‼️ We can't wait it out. We may never get another chance to do something! Keep protesting (regard your safety!), keep doing whatever is in your might to oppose! #resist 👊🏼

Brody King shared a post about what is happening in LA right now on Instagram. #AEW 🤼

As Trump looks for a pretense to increase repression, a new training guide explains how peacekeepers reduce fear and build solidarity.

“Historically, when democracies have slid into dictatorship, there’s a moment when the military is required to choose sides, the press is cast as a threat, and loyalty to the regime is demanded and rewarded, rather than loyalty to the law. We’re there now. Today.”

New in PN: Republicans are trying to sell a bizarre fantasy on the economy "As they craft a radical budget bill, they're making claims as absurd as anything Trump offers, all adding up to a fantasy of the future so improbable that to examine it for a moment is to understand how ridiculous it is."

So proud of Seattle Police Chief Shon Barnes who refuses to cooperate with ICE or Federal immigration, vows to protect Seattleites’ 1st Amendment rights. “I will probably go to jail” he says, because Trump has threatened to jail politicians who oppose him #NoKings mynorthwest.com/local/seattl...

From the team at Rewire News Group, Happy Pride. As anti-trans laws surge across the United States, Rewire wants to hear how this legislation, both under the Trump administration and in statehouses, is affecting young people nationwide. SUBMISSIONS DUE 06/17 forms.gle/xVkVnDW4zMA8...

“The world will not be destroyed by evil people but by good people who do nothing to stop it. Hopefully there will always be good people courageous enough to take on the bad guys, this is the only way humanity can hope for salvation.” ― Bangambiki Habyarimana, The Great Pearl of Wisdom

Gavin Newsom’s bullseye: “I know many of you are feeling deep anxiety, stress, and fear. But I want you to know that you are the antidote to that fear and that anxiety. What Donald Trump wants most is your fealty, your silence, to be complicit in this moment. Do not give into him.”

In a speech, Gov. Gavin Newsom called President Trump’s move to send the military to Los Angeles a “brazen abuse of power” that put the U.S. on the verge of authoritarianism. "The rule of law has increasingly been given way to the rule of Don,” he said.

You can't call immigrants lazy moochers looking for government handouts and then round them up at Home Depots where you know they are looking for work. You can't say immigrants don't follow the rules and then round them up in courthouses where they are following the rules. Get your lies straight.

Terry Moran, if you’re reading this: the door is open.

ICE seemingly confirms they are using National Guard as security to conduct immigration raids. Let's call this what it is, militarized ethnic cleansing.

"Bothsidesism is 'suicide for democracy.' In becoming stenographers rather than reporters, journalists effectively legitimize MAGA lies, hate, and fascism as just one reasonable side of a debate in which all partisans are equally credible."

I stand with Terry Moran.

My thoughts on what’s going on in Los Angeles:

open.substack.com/pub/50501/p/...

Helicopters, uniforms, and flags used like weapons. Now Marines are prowling American streets. This is how democracies die — in prime time… hartmannreport.com/p/the-suspen...

Last night, President Trump deployed an additional 2,000 National Guard troops to quash protests in Los Angeles, over the objection of the governor. DHS also reportedly requested more military assistance and has asked the military to arrest people. Military troops have no place on our streets.

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.

I need y'all to get it out of your heads that Indigenous societies were primitive and simplistic. That's colonial thinking, perpetuated to justify the creation of the colonial state in order to "uplift" and "educate" Indigenous folks It's pure BS

The Posse Comitatus Act bars federal troops from participating in civilian law enforcement except when expressly authorized by law. This 147-year-old law embodies an American tradition that sees military interference in civilian affairs as a threat to both Democracy and Personal Liberty.

Los Angeles: don’t take Trump’s bait. Trump wants chaos and he’s instigated violence. Those who assault law enforcement or cause property damage will risk arrest. Stay peaceful. Stay focused. Don’t give him the excuse he’s looking for.

We don’t need to back off the American Gestapo and we don’t need to respect its agents. People exercising state violence are not entitled to anonymity. Nor are the people directing the state violence.

"Just because Trump senses that keeping mum on a national ban is best at the moment doesn’t mean he isn't letting people like RFK Jr and Josh Hawley work together on schemes to radically restrict access to abortion." — @snipy.bsky.social

A Supreme Court justice handed the keys of our democracy to billionaires — and now they’re crashing it in public… hartmannreport.com/p/who-owns-a...

So I heard Republicans are confused and waiting for Jerry Springer to tell them who their daddy is before any legislation can move! Is Elon their daddy or Trump?

I’m sorry, but Trump and Musk can BOTH go fuck themselves.

Trump threatens to take away Elon’s government contracts

Exactly!
