Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

On June 14th, we show up. Coalition members will be present at all 1,800 events nationwide, over 90,000 strong, helping monitor local conditions. Many veterans have stepped forward to support protesters, stand in solidarity, and defend our right to be heard. We thank them.

Faith leaders and a crowd are gathered at the Federal Building right now. Video taken by a 50501 organizer on the ground. @50501movement.bsky.social

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

Our Founding Fathers would have had a word for calling up a battalion of Marines for regular domestic law enforcement: tyranny.

Someone go change the channel on Marsha’s TV

I want to report some good news from LA: ICE picked a hotel in Pasadena to be their headquarters for this side of the city. The residents of Pasadena (myself included) would not stand for this and protested all yesterday in front of the hotel until, eventually, the hotel kicked out ICE!!

The Pentagon confirms that the Trump regime's deployment of National Guard members and Marines to intimidate US citizens in an attempt to deny citizens of their First Amendment and peaceful protests over ICE ethnic cleansing operations in LA will cost tax payers $134 million.

So much this…

Let this sink in. Even the Los Angeles Police Chief, Jim McDonnell, made it clear: the people protesting immigration raids were not the ones causing violence. During a Sunday evening press conference, McDonnell condemned the violence as “disgusting”

EXCLUSIVE: ActBlue is firing back at a House GOP investigation into its workings. The Dem online fundraising platform says the probe appears to be an unconstitutional abuse of power to help the White House.

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.

Donald Trump forcing US troops to sleep on the ground in the scorching heat in Los Angeles, since he made 0 arrangements to house or feed them and only wanted to use them as props for his fascist porn and political manipulation. MAGA will say "I voted for this"🤡

NPR and the PBS series Frontline investigate the forces keeping communities from building resiliently, and the special interests that profit even when communities don't.

Flood the line.

Happy Pride Month! #LoveIsLove 🩷❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜🖤🩶🤍🤎

The Trump administration announced plans to eliminate federal protections for millions of acres of Alaskan wilderness, opening the door to drilling and mining in some of the nation’s last untouched landscapes.

Dammit I always go to bed too early for a #geomagneticstorm and forget it’s going to happen 😭

Meta, in a grand jest of progress, now entrusts AI to guard our privacy and societal well-being, sidelining human scrutiny. What irony, that algorithms, blind to nuance, shall shield us from digital harm, heralding a utopia of unchecked peril. #3E

Happy #PrideMonth! 🏳️‍🌈

More than a century after the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921, one of the most horrific episodes of racial violence in U.S. history, the city’s mayor announced a $105 million reparations package on Sunday. It is the first large-scale plan committing funds to address the impact of the atrocity.

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

BREAKING: ICE RAID reported at Buona Forchetta tonight about a mile up the road in San Diego. Smoke bombs were used to disperse the crowd. FUCK ICE. WTF?!

I can’t help but see the total hypocrisy in the “small government” people being okay with developing a database on every citizen. It’s wild.

I’m reading the second #wicked book, #SonofaWitch and you would not believe the parallels of what’s happening today. The birds in the story try to convince a human on how once you aren’t willing to fight for one species, you don’t fight for any. That one day, the dragons will come for your face too.

Jake Tapper can go suck eggs.

I think now is a wonderful time to call as though you're Sanaa's character in Alien vs Predator

Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed. Getting big money out of politics.  Strengthening unions and fighting for higher wages. Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare... This is the progressive populist agenda we need in America.

Scientists in N. Zealand have discovered a native fungus that can break down plastic in just 140 days. Researchers at the University of Canterbury have now found that Daldinia concentrica can digest common plastics like polypropylene & polyethylene, which make up a huge portion of global waste.

So there you have it. My ex-publishers who last year stopped paying me for the seven books I'd written for them, have today gone back on their promise that some of the money that they owe me and their other authors would come through. I should have guessed.. www.thebookseller.com/news/unbound...

The National Association of the Deaf says the White House's failure to provide ASL interpreters during press briefings leaves some deaf and hard of hearing people without information.

The average pay package for CEOs rose to $17.1 million in 2024, an increase of nearly 10% from the year before. In the same survey the typical worker pay rose just 1.7%. apnews.com/article/ceo-...

I have been sick for a week and I just read about "something going around" in a subreddit, which I guess is how I get my information now that the CDC is officially spending the next four years determining when and how microscopes became gay.
