They’re ripping kids out of their parents’ arms—again. In America. In our names. DHS raids don’t just “enforce law”—they shatter families like glass on pavement. A child’s scream isn’t collateral damage. It’s the sound of a democracy losing its soul. This is cruelty by design.

CNN’s reporter on scene in Los Angeles: I’m being detained..

I said what I said. 💅🏽

Super late to the party on this, but I don’t think it matters what kind of bullets that cop shot the Australian reporter with. Cops have no business shooting reporters in the first place.

The only people complaining about Bluesky are corporate media opinion columnists who have a 200,000 followers on X and 800 here. “Please go back to X!” No, fuck you lol.

Fuck this Brain Damaged JUNKIE and his Worm too!!!

"We frequently hear of late that universities are 'dependent on federal money,' as though they were passive beneficiaries of government largesse," Carole LaBonne writes. "The reality is closer to the opposite." wapo.st/43GspCx

Watching the right now oppose the part of the second amendment that guarantees a well regulated militia under state control is… something.

He lost by 82 points (91%-9%).

Anyone flying today out of the NYC area—DELAYS We’re returning to the gate after sitting on the tarmac for 2 hours… From the FAA:

President Trump’s move to deploy California’s National Guard is an alarming abuse of power. Local authorities should be able to do their jobs without the chaos of federal interference and intimidation.

“Their staffing shortages are having a dangerous impact on the weather service.” Sen. Cantwell is right: gutting the NWS during peak wildfire and hurricane season is reckless. These cuts mean fewer warnings, slower response, and more lives in danger. We need to fund and staff NWS now.

Sen. Van Hollen: "The administration has shown that it's prepared to abuse its authority in order to pursue its political agenda...We have to protect the Constitution. We have to protect due process. We have to protect public safety."

A reminder that January 6 insurrection was invited by the same criminal who is inciting and creating manufactured chaos throughout the United States today. He should’ve been sent to jail for several lifetime sentences, not sent to the White House.

👏👏👏👏

2 National Guard stand watch in L.A. No protestors present. Why are Marines needed exactly? 🙄🙄 Trump is manufacturing a non-existent crisis m.youtube.com/watch?v=mlKK...

👏👏👏

good morning friends 💚✨

The chp have ordered protesters outside the federal building to disperse, currently 60 or so people are here. A chp riot squad has just arrived

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. ☎️ 1-877-447-4487 From #veterans to #activeduty personnel.

The Marine Corps unit placed on prepare-to-deploy orders is the 2nd Battalion, 7th Marines, an infantry unit based in Twentynine Palms, California, according to a defense official.

@repmaxinewaters.bsky.social pleads with National Guard to not use their guns, yesterday.

Downtown Los Angeles Free David Huerta rally just starting. Do not fuck with the unions, folks.

The correct way to connect the authoritarian presence in LA and the Big Beautiful Bill is that the bill gives the government the resources to do this in dozens of cities at once. So if you don't like what's happening in LA, it's coming to your town if the bill passes.

ICE responds to a crying baby:

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.

Imagine, just imagine, the response from the West if the Iranian government, in international waters, had rammed and then boarded a European ship, filled with European citizens, and taken them captive. But it's Israel, so it's all good. Our citizens don't matter.

ICE arrested former Afghan Nat'l Army soldier—our ally against Taliban—at his home in TX. He entered legally and atty says he has no criminal record. Was applying for asylum. Appears to be casualty of Trump decision de-documenting legal Afghan immigrants www.houstonpublicmedia.org/articles/new...

👏👏👏👏👏

There is no bigger story right now than the White House asserting that California residents are in a state "of rebellion against the authority of the Government of the United States."

This is an important reminder: even the LAPD acknowledged yesterday that everything was peaceful. Then Trump brought the chaos. He is responsible.

Be warned: attacking unions is a hallmark of fascism. https://www.commondreams.org/news/david-huerta-arrested

NEW: Hegseth is deploying Marines against U.S. citizens. Mayor Bass says to know your rights :

"I voted for lawless, anonymous, masked, and unchecked police" is one hell of a jump from "eggs cost too much."

Ted Cruz, MAGA Accounts Spread Old Videos to Smear ICE Protest Several pro-Trump accounts were hit with Community Notes meidasnews.com/news/ted-cru...

So much this…

Oh, honey . . . You can’t even get your wife back.

There is no mass-deportation campaign going on right now. Deportation is a process. This is kidnapping and human trafficking.

Senator Ted Cruz posted a dramatic video of LAPD cars on fire with the caption “this… is… not… peaceful.” What he didn’t mention? The footage was from 2020, not 2025. His post on X falsely implied it was current, part of a broader effort to spread lies and manufacture a crisis.

Nothin but the facts

Fuck NETANYAHU!!!!!!

We found out that ICE is staying at the AC hotel in #Pasadena and now there's a couple of hundred people protesting #NoICE
