Masked ICE agents spotted swapping out license plates this morning in Bell Gardens, CA

Six former CDC vaccine chairs are sounding the alarm—and we better listen. The U.S. is on the brink of losing access to life-saving immunizations. When science is attacked and trust is eroded, lives will be lost. This is not a drill. This is a national emergency.

With all these Feds in masks, MAGA has to be concerned. Remember during Covid they all thought it was unhealthy and you rebreathe diseases! Make Agents Healthy Again!

So now there may be a war because #TrumpleThinSkin couldn't stand an Obama success?

The "pro-worker president" thinks workers should have fewer days off. Hello?

BREAKING: In a unanimous decision, a federal court of appeals has ruled that Louisiana's law requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed in all public school classrooms is unconstitutional. We’ll keep saying it: Public schools are not Sunday schools.

If you’ve got a badge and a gun but think your actions are shameful enough to need a mask, you should quit.

Nothing is off the table for this regime. Armed and masked men are kidnapping people off American streets. We are living in a lawless and scary country.

We don’t know what the real name of the Director of White House Personnel is, we don’t know what country he came from, he refuses to turn in background check forms, and nobody will ask the president or press secretary about it.

🤣🤣

Juneteenth is the perfect moment to remind everyone of two facts: 1. Those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it. 2. Those who prevent history from being taught are plotting to repeat it. Read this out loud. Read it again. Then teach it to your kids.

Powell: Increases in tariffs this year are likely to push up prices and weigh on economic activity

Duh… of course!

It should be illegal for law enforcement to wear masks and not show ID. This makes it too easy to impersonate law enforcement and murder people in their homes.

Duckworth to Hegseth: "You are blowing through money like my fellow cadets and I did in our first liberty after basic camp. Luckily I didn't end up with a questionable tattoo ... you're just an unqualified yes man who can't tell the president how to keep Americans safe."

"Maybe you should have marched better in Dear Leader's birthday parade. Kidding! We would have deported her anyway. We don't care about you people."

I imagine the interview to become an ICE agent is like this. Recruiter: Are you a fascist who will obey a dictator wannabe even when it goes against the Constitution? Applicant: Yes. Recruiter: You are hired. Here is your mask.

Moulton: It turns out the U.S. Army is not great at doing Soviet-style or North Korean-style parades, because that’s not what people sign up to do… Imagine how much veteran housing you could build for $40 million. You could help a lot of vets with that kind of money. And this parade helped nobody.

“A U.S. citizen!” And now he’s missing. Adrian Martinez tried to defend a man ICE was harassing. Video shows six agents swarming him. He struggles but doesn’t lay hands on them. They take him to the ground & shove him into a CBP vehicle. Abuse of power. Keep recording. Don’t stop. (1 of 2)

New in PN: Judge rules that anti-woke is just racism “'I’ve never seen a record where racial discrimination was so palpable,' Judge Young fumed. 'I’ve sat on this bench now for 40 years. I’ve never seen government racial discrimination like this.' *More of this, please*"

I’m just watching this G7 summit, and man, our country is being embarrassed like never before We’ve never had more pathetic leadership than what we’ve got right now A totally unprepared “President” that honestly has no clue what’s going on Other countries are laughing at us You deserve BETTER!

It's pretty obvious that a lot of US mainstream media either doesn't recognise authoritarianism or doesn't want to call it out. Either way, it's an excellent way to destroy trust in your institution.

Just a few days ago, Speaker Mike Johnson, the puritanical pixie twit, refused to rule out arresting Governor Newsom. He added that Newsom should be “tarred and feathered,” a form of torture popularized by vigilantes. He is a reckless hypocrite.

Schrödinger's parade - the crowd was both sparse and dense.

The protests are peaceful until the police arrive. I wonder why.

11 MILLION PEOPLE!! 💥💥💥 Are we nearing the magic 3.5%?? Never forget….WE hold the power. #nokings

Whoa! Hats off to ABC News reporter Matt Gutman for keeping his cool yesterday. This LAPD officer needs to be relieved of duty if he can’t handle an alleged “touch” without snapping.

Folks it doesn't even *look* like a parade is supposed to look Like whoever planned this has never seen a parade

they're having a hard time hiding their boredom

Newsom’s social media team is killing it. (This isn’t an old picture. It’s from right now. I asked.) 😂😂😂😂

Welp, the verdict is in… Trump’s parade is a $40 million taxpayer-funded flop. A waste. A total dud, and he’s not looking happy about it. Actually, no one is. A fascist cosplay gone wrong.

LA

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.

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.

I just heard a political commenter call Trump's parade "The Most Expensive Public Blowjob in American History" and I really hope that sticks. #NoMoreKings TnT

“A deranged maniac impersonated a police officer and killed lawmakers but if you’re an immigrant be sure you immediately comply with plain clothes people who won’t identify themselves telling you to get in a van”, what a fuckin country

just watched this netflix documentary on the oklahoma city bombing and once again i'm struck by how so many of the popular media takes on this event just avoid entirely the connection to organized white supremacism

Hey MAGA morons. This military parade officially makes America a tin pot dictatorship. Especially funny is your president is a draft dodging coward. PATHETIC!

Funded by your tax dollars.

Palmer: Charges should be brought against each one of you AOC: Raising the prospect of charges against witnesses is a form of intimidation is it not? Palmer: I strike those words

BREAKING: A few minutes ago, a vehicle of three people was rammed by a truck belonging to federal immigration authorities in Boyle Heights, CA. According to security footage shown to me, they deployed chemical munitions & detained the driver at gunpoint. All are US citizens according to the wife.

Double.
