Independent thinker, I love music and trying different cuisines. Miss the days when it was easy to vote for a dem, Lib, indie, Green, or rep, depending on the nominee. I love America, democracy, Our constitution, and appreciate our allies! #TrumpHastoGo

Police create violence, they rarely, if ever, respond to much less effectively prevent it. Once militarized law “enforcement” are added into ✨any✨ situation, it is safe to assume that situation will become chaotic and violent. Antagonism is the 1 thing cops are very, very good at. #LosAngeles #ICE

THREAD: The assassinations in Minnesota highlight a dirty secret hardly ever mentioned in the news: U.S. has 1.1 million private police officers. There is an unprecedented footprint of privately organized violence that is doing all sorts of things most people have no idea about.

The charity is under investigation after diverting $10 million from a settlement with the state’s largest Medicaid contractor to a pair of nonprofits that then gave millions to a political committee.

The most consequential Speaker in state history.

This is super cool from the NWSL team Angel City FC, which is based in LA. They distributed these tshirts at last night’s game.

In certain areas, immigrants have become so embedded in the culture that it is only natural for them to fight for the garment workers and day laborers who are their families, friends, and neighbors. They are reflexively drawn to the crisis.

I doubt anyone will see me post, but this needs to be known... if you have a visible following please repost 💙🔥💙 Admitting he wants "his people... aka US " to behave like north Korea for Kim Jong Un.🤬

We need a plan to get the end Fox News propaganda. Reagan made it possible and now 40 years later we are losing our democracy.

Breaking news: A former senior Syrian security official told the FBI that American journalist Austin Tice was killed in 2013 on the orders of then-Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, an account that has not been corroborated by the U.S.

Hey @amyklobuchar.com you need to call out your colleague Mike Lee for celebrating the assassination of Melissa Hortman. You need to make a big deal about this

We won’t amplify it, but the president posting that Dems are “sick of mind” and “hate our country” immediately after 2 Dem lawmakers and their spouses were shot in their homes is the opposite of leadership. Gas on the fire.

Y’all hear that chant echo down the Rock yesterday? “VOTE HER OUT! VOTE HER OUT!” We meant it. Every step, every voice. 📢 No crowns. No thrones. Just people power. #ByeSarah #NoKingsMarch #VoteThemOut #ArkansasStrong #50501LittleRock #50501Movement #50501Arkansas #ThePeoplesProtestsAndMarchesAR

Good morning ☕️🫶🏻🌞 Sunday shenanigans 😜

Via ABC News's Rachel Scott, let's never forget for a minute what a classless scumbag the President is. x.com/rachelvscott...

Sen. Rand Paul: "I just never liked the idea of the parade because I grew up in the '70s and '80s and the only parades I can remember are Soviet parades or North Korean parades...Then there's the cost, I mean we're $2 trillion in the hole. I'm not for it."

Rep. Seth Moulton: "Speaking as a veteran, I have to tell you the Marines don't want to be [in LA]. No one signs up to join the USMC to go against Americans on the streets of an American city....That's not why you sign up to serve the country."

President Donald Trump has praised Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele as a crime fighter, but new reporting based on interviews and documents reveals how senior Salvadoran officials have impeded a U.S. investigation of the MS-13 gang. By @tchristianmiller.bsky.social & Sebastian Rotella

Rand Paul: "I've never liked the idea of the parade. I grew up in the '70s and '80s, and the only parades I can remember are Soviet parades for the most part or North Korean parades. The parades I remember from our history were different...we never glorified weapons so much...then there is the cost"

My letter declining DNC reappointment speaks for itself. I’m a proud democratic, but AFT & I will spend our time trying to make life better for working people in other ways. There’s much to be done to save our democracy, educate our kids & help working people thrive. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/15/u...

Whoa! Hats off to ABC News reporter Matt Gutman for keeping his cool yesterday. This LAPD officer needs to be relieved of duty if he can’t handle an alleged “touch” without snapping.

Reminder: Republicans are facilitating a massive transfer of wealth to the richest Americans while making cuts that would rip away healthcare and food from millions of people. It's Robin Hood in reverse.

Donald Trump was *humiliated* yesterday. Make no mistake, a man with such a brittle ego will lash out at innocent people to pretend he controls the narrative. He doesn't. We do.
