Chicago PD walks along to protect the #NoKings protesters. 💙Chicago!

America Four Months Ago When We Needed Mexico's Assistance With The Wildfires. They Came With Open Arms.

It really feels like he wants WWIII

US Veterans peacefully protesting Trump’s military birthday parade arrested at Capitol Hill. This is the moment a 80+ year old US veteran is taken away in handcuffs for practicing his 1st Amendment right. #3E #NoKings #NoKingsProtests (🎥 @gregjstoker.bsky.social )

ICE racially profiles Native Americans, the People of the First Nation, the real citizens of America! They look as if they regret pulling these wonderful ladies over. They get an earful.

Like I said we cannot let this regime get away with any of this which includes Stephen Miller.

BREAKING NOW: US veterans detained at the Capitol for using their 1A.

An American icon. He changed the landscape of an entire genre while creating his own. He made every living artist up their game. Where the Beatles needed George Martin, he needed nobody. Not even his band. He made you feel a season. Best of all, he was ours. Love you Brian Wilson.

#NoKingsDay #June14th

This!!!!!

Efficient resistance means pushing back against fascism & pressuring it both on the streets as in the court rooms. Scenes from Tucson Arizona where protestors cornered Trump regime ICE troops, sprayed them in self-defence. Protestors kettled ICE & used their own riot control methods. #3E #StopICE

Plaskett to Bessent: "Excuse me. Let me get something straight with you. I've seen you interrupt everyone. When you come to someone's house, you respect their rules. And in this house, we don't interrupt individuals. And you're not going to interrupt my time."

One thing Newsom has shown is key to effectively deal with Trump & the MAGA propaganda machine: You must respond immediately & call out the lies. You can’t wait until hours/days later, then answer in a press conference, statement, scripted speech. All Dems should learn from it.

Every major Dem politician needs to realize that, in this environment, they can schedule a "speech to the nation," like Newsom did, and get tons of media coverage. Just do it.

Met an active duty member of the military yesterday who filed conscientious objector paperwork in response to deployment of military on U.S. soil. Was told multiple Army have filed, unknown quantities in other branches.

“It’s an avalanche!” cried Toad. Frog and Toad jumped away. Frog was trembling. “I am not afraid!” he shouted.

I waitress while I run for Congress. I know what it’s like to stretch a paycheck, juggle bills, and still show up for your community. Washington needs more people who live like us — not just talk about us. Derrick Van Orden talks the talk. I'll walk the walk.

If I talked to Gavin Newsom about politics for 20 mins, I guarantee I’d find a list of things on which we disagree. Right now? I do not care. And if you sincerely believe that democracy is under attack, you shouldn’t either. Find the helpers and the fighters right now, and get behind them. Please.

A woman walking home alone was shot point-blank with “non-lethal” rounds fired by officers in Los Angeles. A neighbor filmed the assault and rushed to help only to be fired on and ordered back.

BALDWIN: What is the authority that the administration is using to deploy active duty Marines to California neighborhoods? HEGSETH: The president has constitutional authority BALDWIN: Cite the provision of the Constitution HEGSETH: I'd have to pull up the specific provision

Herminio share this photo from where he works harvesting strawberries in Santa Maria, CA. "I work piece rate, so I work very fast. I average 180 boxes a day. At the end of the day, my back is in a lot of pain. It's a very tiring job." #WeFeedYou

According to ABC News

We feed you. They hunt us.

Look at these bitch ass pigs destroying their own cars.

They’re doing jobs Americans refuse to do and they’re being hunted ….
