Stand back. Rescind this illegal, and immoral order. The absurdity of threatening the people of the United States with their own military— Act like the Commander-in-Chief. If you want to be president, at least try to play the part. Fake it, if nothing else. Stand back— We’ll clean up your mess.

Anti-ICE protesters in front of the federal building in downtown Los Angeles.

This is on all the Senators who turned a blind eye and voted to confirm. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/09/h...

BREAKING: LA solidarity protesters in Austin are occupying JJ Pickle Federal Building, which houses local ICE processing center

Truth-tellers, not rioters. Protect these two men at all costs. “You feel tough with your assault rifles and your sticks. You should be standing here with us. You’re on the wrong side of history.” “John Lewis said make good trouble… that means make trouble on behalf of democracy.”

If your response to this video is, “That’s what I voted for”— Fuck you. Fuck you very much. You’re heartless.

Grifters. They stand for nothing else. They have no principles they hold above mere power and greed.

Fellow lawyer friend of mine who does Immigration in #LosAngeles sent this. #ICE is denying people legal counsel; tear-gassing the lawyers they do allow; tear-gassing small kids. This is only the beginning; having basically memorized Project 2025, I can assure you, things only get worse. from here.

If you are National Guard or Active Duty military and you are being ordered to violate the constitutional rights of US citizens then this is the number to the GI Rights Hotline. There is support. You don’t have to go through with it. 877-447-4487

They are a bunch of incompetent grifters.

"They can pretend they're immune to politics and democracy. They are not. They can send people back anytime they want. They can bring Andry back anytime they fucking want." - @jonlovett.bsky.social delivered a powerful message at our rally to free Andry. Join the fight at freeandry.org

“The way you beat fascism is with coalitions. The way you beat fascism is you get to a majority by including people who don’t agree about everything.” No more Perfection Politics. We need to compromise with people who are like-us enough. I say if you’re willing to grab an oar, welcome aboard.

If you watch only one video today, let it be this one. Watch NYU Stern School of Business Professor Scott Galloway’s outstanding commentary on what prosperity and wealth should mean in America. His words could not be more on point and timely. Please pass it on.
