Simone Biles is a champion athlete in the vein of Muhammad Ali, Colin Kaepernick, Jesse Owens, and Billy Jean King. She’s bigger than gymnastics. She’s a people’s champion. Thanks for standing up for ALL athletes. @simonebiles.bsky.social

My thoughts on what’s going on in Los Angeles:

Hypocrisy. Leave it to Leavitt.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

What’s happening in LA is because of Donald Trump He said he’d go after murderers In reality, he’s going after clerks and servers-falsely claiming they’re murderers But Americans know the truth-that’s why they’re trying to stop him In response he calls them criminals So he can arrest them, too

I love this idea from another post. What do you think? Protestors should dress in patriotic colors and themes, so that if they do attack us, it's clear WHO they're attacking —Not enemies of the state but Americans who believe in the constitution.

“Commandeering a state’s National Guard without consulting the governor of that state is illegal and immoral,” Newsom, a Democrat, told MSNBC on Sunday. www.wcax.com/2025/06/09/n...

Abolish ICE.

Show up. For David, for labor, for our safety, for all of us. actionnetwork.org/event_campai...

LATEST ON ABREGO GARCIA: The DOJ asked the case in Maryland be stayed; A G lawyers in a blistering response: "Until the Government is held accountable for its blatant, willful, and persistent violations of court orders at excruciating cost to Abrego Garcia and his family, this case is not over."

Exactly!!

Fuck ICE. This shit in LA is coming for all of us and if you’re not standing against it you’re allowing it.

Authoritarians love corruption and fear accountability. The arrest of long-time human rights defender Ruth López is another chilling attack on democracy by Bukele’s regime. Free Ruth NOW.

Senator Ted Cruz posted a dramatic video of LAPD cars on fire with the caption “this… is… not… peaceful.” What he didn’t mention? The footage was from 2020, not 2025. His post on X falsely implied it was current, part of a broader effort to spread lies and manufacture a crisis.

LAPD fired rubber bullets at Australian journalist @laurentomasi.bsky.social

Donald Trump is in his messianic era, or so he wants you to think.

After Trump says Homan should arrest Governor Newsom — Q: “What crime has he committed?” TRUMP: “Running for Governor.”

Tom Homan says the Trump administration is targeting immigrants who are public safety threats, and others occasionally just happen to get caught as well We KNOW this is a lie Because ICE is conducting sweeps at schools, at Home Depot’s And deporting 4 year old citizens who are cancer patients

🚨 alert! 🚨 alert! Run for your lives, there’s a band playing!

So much this…

A City of Angels we have here indeed.

Cities often take people's belongings like birth certificates, family photos, and even parents' ashes when conducting encampment sweeps. Stealing people’s personal and treasured items does nothing to solve homelessness.

If Mr. Moran worked for me, I would have had a private conversation with him about crossing a line into too much subjectivity—I would not have suspended him. I suspect if he had said the same exact words on air, nothing would have happened. Journalists have free speech rights too.

Stunning how badly Trump and the Rs have lost the debate on what their reconciliation bill will do. From new CBS/YouGov polling:

This stuff doesn’t look very protect-and-serve-y

When local law enforcement helps ICE detain our immigrant neighbors, our communities become less safe. The ACLU of Pennsylvania will see the Bucks County sheriff in court.

PSA: If you think a guy standing on a vandalized Waymo car with a Mexican flag is a bigger issue than the president calling for the arrest of a governor for no reason, you may have lost the plot.

Let’s all Boycott ABC. The job of a journalist is to report the Truth! www.huffpost.com/entry/abc-ne...

This is precisely correct.

It's worth noting that it's not just those two states, and it's not a recent phenomenon.

Warning: ICE is planning 30 days of immigration raids across Los Angeles County. If you or someone you know may be impacted, now is the time to set up a support system, identify a safe place, and stay alert.

As we head into what is going to be a hard week important to dis-aggregate public opinion on Trump being tough on the border (future migrants, law and order) where he has the public behind him from how he treats migrants already here, where he doesn't. Data via @gelliottmorris.com.....

@acatwithnews.bsky.social Thanks for posting and documenting the LA ICE raids for those of us in other states. Appreciate your work.

First they illegally deport citizens. Then they unleash ICE to terrorize communities. Now they’ve got the National Guard in L.A. to silence protestors. This ain’t about law and order. This is what authoritarianism looks like.

Such as: Development Administration, Job Corps. More than $1.7 billion, Minority Business Development Agency, Community Service Employment for Older Americans, The Department of Labor’s Women’s Bureau, NASA’s Office of Science, Tech, Engineering and Math Engagement... www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

It’s not just that the oligarchs don’t want to pay their fair share of taxes. Many of them literally do not believe in the concept of government. They are rich and powerful and have the “divine right” to do anything they want.

It’s obvious but worth drawing out what raids of Home Depot’s of all places is about. It’s rounding up people who are really eager for work and for whom there is work, peoples whose labor is in demand. We know this but shows just how far it is from rounding up just the bad guys.
