Some early dahlias.

Grabbed an armload of glads from the garden.

Still Willin’ #NoKings

Dear protesters! This 👇🏼 is what we're, non-violently, fighting against. This is why it's important to be out there today, and every day until the evil and madness ends! You will prove to be on the right side of history, stay strong 👊🏼 Please make sure to take all necessary precautions! STAY SAFE ‼️

Santa Monica #NoKings. Not surprised there were thousands. We hate Trump and his lawless terror campaign even more than we hate to go east of the 405 on a weekend.

Have You No Sense of Decency, Secretary Kennedy? www.medpagetoday.com/opinion/seco...

Who'd have guessed it? 🤷‍♂️

Secretary Noem loves dressing up in costume and pretending like everything is reality TV, but the fact of the matter is Senator Padilla clearly identified himself and should not have been thrown to the ground and detained. Even *Corey Lewandowski* knows that.

They wanted max cruelty. Shock and awe for the cameras. But all they did was traumatize a bunch of poor kids who’ll never forget it. An L.A. mom, US citizen, watched as unmarked vehicles rolled up. Masked, heavily armed ICE agents, guns drawn. And Cosplay Kristi Noem right there playing warlord!

<thread> On the left: June 12, Judge Breyer writing that THE test for whether the US Marines/Guard violate Posse Comitatus will be whether they've engaged in "detaining" civilians. On the right: June 13: See for yourself. Note: The DoD has confirmed the detention of civilian to Reuters.

Yes he’s a dictator. No he doesn’t have to remove elections to prove that. He just hasn’t done it yet.

ICE and Border Patrol at Venice and Sepulveda Blvd in Culver City, Calif. Cause you know what criminals those muffler guys are.

Ok now this is hilarious.

Governor Gavin Newsom’s office having lunch. What do you see? 😅😂🤣 🌮🌮🌮 LMAO 😅😂🤣

Impressed she can get her hostile takeover announcement out through all that extra face.

This is Kristi Noem admitting that Homeland Security is currently occupying Los Angeles, not to protect citizens, but for purely *political* reasons. Yes, she really is that stupid.

The Dems really, really, *really* need to make Miller the face of the administration, the way Musk was until recently. He’s hugely unlikeable and has the potential to create major drag if he is out front and center.

So government compelled speech? Do I have that right?

For no reason, today I've been thinking about that time a bunch of GOP House members broke into a SCIF where classified hearings were being held with media in tow, refused to give up their devices, and live tweeted from inside. No one was escorted out or put in cuffs. www.wired.com/story/republ...

Wait, *good* news? Huh.

I’m sure with all the craziness happening in the Middle East because of our weak leadership, Trump will be canceling the military parade in DC for his birthday so he can focus on the crisis.

By now, we've all seen the video of Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) being forcibly removed and handcuffed for asking a question during Kristi Noem's press conference. But what Noem said just moments before the video was taken is "classic authoritarian red-baiting," points out @davidcorn.bsky.social.

I keep hearing from media elites how much better The Discourse is over at the Nazi site so I went to check it out and

So Kristi Noem goes on Fox and lies that Sen Padilla didn’t ID himself, even though the video is there for all to see. But get what she’s saying: Assaulting and handcuffing someone for trying to ask a question is OK in any case? This is a criminal regime.

How is this not a war crime? How this not a green light for Iran to target Israeli or U.S. civilian scientists in return?

the naysayers making me think of this awesome lady again

Yeah that’s what’s happening. He heard the cries of the innocent. Like Moses.

Pritzker's willingness to speak over these fascist pigs is honestly a great endorsement of his suitability to lead in this moment

Solid, insightful thread. "Trump’s autocratic regime is aggressively attacking and intimidating minority electeds ... just like his goons are raiding minority immigrants. He wants every Black, Latino, & Jewish person to know that if any minority dares to speak up, we will face the same violence."
