🏆 to whoever came up with and coordinated the No Kings protest at Ocean Beach, San Francisco. Don’t miss it…absolute fire.

Cincinnati, Ohio # #NoKingsDay

These are the people that make America great 🇲🇽🇺🇸

MSNBC with a great speed debunk of DHSs justifications for tackling and handcuffing Sen. Padilla. Padilla is the top Dem on the Senate Judiciary immigration subcommittee -- there's no way Noem (who meets regularly with senators on this topic) didn't know who he is.

This is our California Senator being pushed to the ground & handcuffed for trying to ask a question. Senators are supposed to ask questions and have oversight. We are going deeper & deeper into horrific situation. If a sitting Senator cannot speak at a meeting in our own state, none of us are safe.

A robin made a nest in one of my plant pots right outside my studio. The baby birds are hatching today.

Powerful address to California by our governor, but my local NBC4 newscaster just called him “President” Newsom by mistake lol 😂☠️

Jimmy Kimmel got this right on. It wasn’t all laughs. He has a spine unlike most of our politicians. It’s worth the watch youtube.com/watch?v=baR4...

It's so disheartening watching everything I've spent a decade warning people was going to happen, actually happen, and to see how many of them still don't seem to care.

Are we at 3.5% yet? -Asking for a country…

More than 6000 scientists have signed a declaration condemning "Administration policies that undermine the NIH mission, waste public resources, and harm the health of Americans and people across the globe" www.standupforscience.net/bethesda-dec...

Folks, we crushed Bondi.

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

@cnn.com put this on instead of your incorrect reporting. Seriously.

UPDATE: David Huerta was just released from custody!

Happy Pride darlings! 🌈🏳️‍🌈

On Bluesky I've had no death threats or threats of violence. No one telling me I'm a miserable cat lady who will die alone. And just one person randomly calling me fat. If that means I live in an echo chamber I'm cool. Are people purists sometimes? Sure but I just roll my eyes and move on.

This clip is for all my L.A. friends who texted me tonight saying things like "I'm sure you know this, but 99.9% of LA is going about their Sunday normally"

One in 35 Americans live in Los Angeles County. Los Angeles is America.

When President Johnson activated the Nat'l Guard in Alabama in 1965 over Gov. Wallace's objection he did it to protect protesters advocating for voting rights for Black people who had previously met violence at the hands of state troopers. Very different situation.

The wear of the nametape for soldiers engaging in operations with their units is not optional under AR 670-1. If you see National Guard soldiers without their nametapes, ask them who ordered the 670-1 violation.

It has been estimated that by eliminating programs like USAID and PEPFAR, the Trump administration has effectively killed 300,000 people Over 200,000 of them were children And if Republicans cut Medicaid as they’ve threatened, thousands will die in the US as well We MUST stop these ghouls

Raise your hand if you’re not even a meteorologist and you still know there’s a hurricane season.
