It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

Join your friends on Saturday, June 14th. Find your local NO KINGS rally: www.nokings.org Trump has defied our courts, deported Americans, disappeared people off the streets, attacked our civil rights, and slashed our services. The corruption has gone too. far. No thrones. No crowns. No kings.

It's Tuesday -- do you know where your Saturday NO KINGS rally is? Find you local rally at: www.nokings.org Go speak up for all of us! Ask some friends along -- they may already be making plans to attend!

It's hard to put into words the anxiety folks are feeling. As an appreciation for everyone pushing through it, and many of us doing as much as we can, some more than anyone should have to, here's a bluesky exclusive of killdeer chicks seeking safe harbor under their parent. #birds 🐣

Deep cut! 🤣

“Tasted a little tear gas— tasted like fascism”

It appears the “Big Insurrection” is actually just thousands of people in LA praying Trump stops terrorizing their neighborhoods.

LAPD’s chief just said that the President may or may not have deployed the military in Los Angeles. In other words, the federal government and the military are not communicating—let alone coordinating—with the city, county or state…

Ya'll are killing me. As someone who has done movement work for a long time, folks are getting sloppy. 1. Before you get involved, be sure you know what it is and who you are getting involved with, know what it is you can and cannot risk, what it is you are willing to sacrifice.

Reshare to scare the data bros and popularism acolytes

sending 500 marines to a county of nearly 10 million people to stand around holding their dicks with nowhere to sleep is not actually the sign of a successful declaration of martial law

day laborers who stand outside the Home Depot are the only men on this planet a woman alone will roll up to, invite to get in her car, tell them she has cash, and drive them to her house, feeling perfectly safe the entire time, and LA is never ever gonna let Feds fuck with them

Red coral bell (heuchera) flowers are tiny, but dramatic.

From Pittsburgh to Los Angeles, we demand an end to ICE raids and to free David Huerta! Don’t ignore what’s happening. There is no reason why we should be sicking ICE on ANYBODY. We don’t stand with terror, we stand in solidarity to build a nation that is free for all!

The violent arrest of SEIU CA President David Huerta is unacceptable and he must be released immediately. Protesting Trump’s authoritarianism is a constitutional right. We won’t back down while he swipes our neighbors off the streets and ignores due process.

Protesters in Downtown Pittsburgh joined a national wave of demonstrations Monday, demanding the release of union leader David Huerta, who was arrested last week in Los Angeles while protesting against federal immigration raids. buff.ly/yvOXtLB

A Teamsters leader with an AFSCME mic at an SEIU rally to end ICE raids. That's my politics. And that's the politics that will win the midterms, the White House, and the future. #FreeDavidEndRaids

As the person who held this person’s head till the EMS arrived, I sincerely hope this makes the city’s crash report

What a city to come for and sounds like Las Cafeteras to boot ✨

LAPD assisted by the Huntington Beach Police just came in full force firing munitions and with Horse support. Someone was trampled. Another has a serious head injury.

#ICYMI:

UPDATE: David Huerta was just released from custody!

This is one of those things whose impact and importance is not obvious if you don't know what ACIP does: throwing out all of the experts who help shape vaccine approval and policy is going to be very dangerous for Americans' health. ACIP was apolitical and smart. The new one will be neither. Deadly.

Let the 2023 beginning of birthday month for hounds bless your timeline. (Two greyhounds eating little cakes made with blackberries because they are very good girls)

I was proud to stand together with unions here in Pittsburgh and across the country today to demand the end of ICE raids and for the immediate release of SEIU CA president David Huerta. My fight for trans liberation is tied to the fight for immigrant justice.

This afternoon's rally in Pittsburgh calling to free David Huerta -- and kick out ICE in general! There were various speakers from organizations including the SEIU, Casa San José, 50501, and also City Councilor Barb Warwick, and Mayor Ed Gainey.

This is another thing that should give us hope, because while fascism is always profoundly anti-intellectual, they still need at some level of strategic and logistical competence to fully realize their goals. This administration simply lacks that capacity.

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court is crucial for our freedoms and the rule of law; we absolutely need to #ProtectPACourts because they're our last line of defense.

A Supreme Court heavily influenced by billionaires shows what happens when it stops defending against corruption and starts enabling it. #ProtectPACourts

Pennsylvania judicial retention elections are on the ballot this year, It is super important for safeguarding our fundamental rights that we #ProtectPACourts!

Corrupt courts hurt everyone. Let's fight for fair and impartial judges who protect our rights. #ProtectPACourts

The US Supreme Court has upheld a good decision by the PA courts. Our Democratic PA state judges are on the ballot in November, and it's critical that we vote to keep them in place to protect our rights.

Why is #JudicialRetention so important? If you make a mistake on your mail in ballot that stops it from being counted, you should be able to fill out a provisional ballot and still vote. Thanks to the PA Supreme Court, you can.

The idea that protesters in LA shouldn’t give him a pretext for violence presupposes that he needs or cares about a pretext. If you protesters stay home, then he’s going to keep kidnapping people and use the lack of protests as proof that everyone agrees with him.

Another thing to mention for people who don't live in LA. Most of LA is very chill and peaceful right now. There's a huge Pride fest going on, countless farmer's markets, tourists walking around, families at the parks, people walking their dogs. It's a big place.

Please watch this….

see how she does not lecture the protesters? you see how she places the blame for escalation squarely where it belongs? very demure, very mindful
