via @acyn.bsky.social @juliettekayyem.bsky.social: "Active duty Marines for this? I mean, we were just reporting on it. There's music. The traffic is moving. Most people in L.A. probably don't even know that this is going on."

We need to stand up for @terrymoranabc.bsky.social

Fact check: True.

"two months later, authorities have yet to provide any evidence that the more than three dozen people they arrested that night have connections to the gang..." www.texastribune.org/2025/06/04/t...

“Strongman” politicians project their supposed strength by attacking immigrants, people of color, and the LGBTQ+ community. But these groups of people aren't the "threats" we should be worried about. Who is? The oligarchs who earn their keep by exploiting the rest of us.

Anderson Cooper & Scott Pelley talk about how corporate news orgs don’t have the support of their corporate overlords to speak truth to power. This is why independent outlets like us exist. Would be great if we didn’t have to. 🤷🏻‍♂️

FEMA Chief Confused By Wind theonion.com/fema-ch...

Law enforcement across the nation must pick a side. They are either for protecting their communities or they are for ICE who terrorizes their communities. There is no gray area on this.

Healthcare for seniors is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse. Food for hungry kids is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse. A $45 military parade for a draft dodging felon *is* waste, fraud, and abuse. Paying the National Guard to attack US citizens *is* waste, fraud, and abuse.

PARIS (AP) — 21 year old Coco Gauff defeats top-ranked Aryna Sabalenka 6-7 (5), 6-2, 6-4 to win her first French Open title. The last American to win the French Open was Serena Williams in 2015. Coco snaps the longest gap among the four Grand Slams. The last American man was Andre Agassi in 1999.

We don’t serve a king. He can’t do whatever he wants.

Gov. Gavin Newsom said on social media that California National Guard was being taken over by the federal government “not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle.”

Trump supporters attacked the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 and Trump didn't call in the National Guard.

The deployment of federalized National Guard troops to California, without consent from local or state officials, is deeply troubling. These are tactics seen in authoritarian regimes, not in America. We want to be clear, the military should not be used to police civilians.

🚨BREAKING: A military Blackhawk helicopter is unloading dozens of boxes of weapons and ammunition in Los Angeles “as if they were getting ready for a major battle.”

i don't want to dunk on any of the people who replied or quoted this with a "well ackshully the national guard will shoot protesters, look at kent state," but my request is to a) remember that kent state was over half a century ago and b) read about the NG's response in its aftermath

This isn’t even remotely legal what he is doing.

California representatives did a check in where migrants were being detained. They found no beds, no food and no water. Children were among the detained.

Fox keeps proving there’s still more stupidity to come.

Every accusation is a confession

The world is watching. And we have friends everywhere. Upload everything, every moment. Don’t give them the chance to twist the truth. We have people on the way to help. You’re not alone. ✊🌙💚

We could have had her, America.

The federal government is taking over the California National Guard and deploying 2,000 soldiers in Los Angeles — not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle. Don't give them one. Never use violence. Speak out peacefully.

DO IT!!!!!!

ICE is raiding Home Depots in LA because nothing says “national security” like cracking down on people buying mulch.
