ICE rolls in, LA rises up.🔥 If Stephen Miller was looking for immigrants to roll over and just take it from his ICE goons, he picked the wrong f*cking town. Between yesterday in LA City and Paramount today, the community is fighting back.

Welcome to America, where protesting illegal kidnappings without due process is an insurrection, but attacking the nation’s Capitol is not.

ICE terrorizes our communities. People protest, and now Trump is sending 2,000 National Guard troops into Los Angeles. This is how martial law begins in the so-called land of the free.

If you are National Guard or Active Duty military and you are being ordered to violate the constitutional rights of US citizens then this is the number to the GI Rights Hotline. There is support. You don’t have to go through with it. 877-447-4487

A truly sad sight. Trump’s America. 🇺🇸

A recent study found that for every $1 invested in the National Weather Service, it produces $73 in value to Americans. Not only is the NWS a life-saving government resource, it's actually quite efficient.

Significant ruling by Judge Boasberg for men sent to CECOT prison. "The Government must facilitate the Class’s ability to seek habeas relief to contest their removal under the Act." Important moment for the rule of law and against government lawlessness. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

My first Substack post! And, apparently I’m a “commie” and my sources are fake. Huh. I’mma go be sad with tea. I hope you might enjoy my personal experience: substack.com/@joycedyee/n...

The Department of Homeland Security is NOT making our country safer. They're ignoring immigration laws. They're handcuffing moms, zip tying children and disappearing them without hearings or due process. They're weaponizing DHS to purge people from the population. They're hiding their faces.⬇️

MURRAY: Will you allocate the $220m for literacy programs that Congress appropriated? McMAHON: We're looking at the unallocated dollars to determine which of those programs we can best spend on MURRAY: Those funds were appropriated. It looks to me like the dept is illegally impounding funding

When @bradtakei.bsky.social and I first got together, we never imagined we’d one day celebrate Pride openly, let alone post about it on the internet. But here we are, joy and all. Happy Pride, everyone! Let’s keep showing up, speaking out, and marching forward (glitter optional, but encouraged). 🌈✨

JUST IN: Newark Mayor Ras Baraka sues interim US Attorney Alina Habba for "false arrest and malicious prosecution." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Jonathan Joss--voice actor of John Redcorn from King of the Hill, and Ken Hotate from Parks and Rec--was killed in a homophobic hate crime today. I'm so angry.

Trump is trying to sell his domestic policy bill with lies. Let’s break them down. Trump said, “We’re not doing any cutting of anything meaningful. The only thing we’re cutting is waste, fraud and abuse.” False.

Castor: They told Heidy Sánchez, ‘Come in early—we want to check on your status.’ And she did the right thing… And at that ICE meeting, they took her. They took her away from her child. This is a breastfeeding mother. They flew her to another detention center in Miami, and then onto a plane to Cuba.

Chris Murphy on Joni Ernst: "I think everybody in that audience knows they're going to die, they would just rather die in old age at 85 or 90 instead of dying at 40. And the reality is that when you lose your healthcare, you are much more at risk of early death."

Statement from Buona Forchetta about the ICE raid last night. 💔

At a time when people are understandably focused on the daily chaos in Washington, these articles describe the rapidly accelerating impact that AI is going to have on jobs, the economy, and how we live.

Trump’s administration is putting zip ties on children. These babies dressed to go with their mom to court, bc she was doing the LAWFUL thing & our government ZIP TIED them 😩 I don’t want my tax dollars paying for babies to be zip tied, do you? It was never about protecting us from criminals.

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

"As Musk slinks away, spending went up, not down, during his tenure, and DOGE made the government less efficient, not more..." "A legacy of shattered institutions, weakened public services, and fired civil servants who did nothing but serve their country well..." www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Here’s the thing, if they are picking up folks working in the country illegally, I’m going to need to see some white guys also being arrested for employing people working illegally in the country. Otherwise, it’s just racism.

No he's not, Jesus and God both think President TACO is one of the worst people on Earth.

Secretary of Transportation says you should be scared of public transportation. Four million people will ignore him, justifiably, and ride the NY subway tomorrow. 🤡

ICE agents making arrests while masked— no warrants. This is about basic civil rights. What are our protections? Who’s accountable? Congress must act. Hold hearings—sanctioned or not. ☎️ Call your Senators and Representatives NOW: (202) 224-3121 @housedemocrats.bsky.social @democrats.senate.gov

THREAD 🧵 🚨 ICE Agents Arrest Immigrants at Courthouses 🚨 Demand Immediate Investigations Masked ICE agents are arresting immigrants immediately after their court hearings, violating due process and deterring individuals from attending court. 1/4 www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

June 14: Calendar Alternative! Just in case you're looking for a distraction from the overly-priced military parade in DC - all paid for by your tax dollars - The new Pope will be speaking via video in Chicago! I'm not Catholic, but I appreciate the Pope's words of kindness, grace and peace.

Her stats line up with CDC data…

💥 BREAKING: Shareholders of Merck & Co one of the largest pharma companies in the world, voted today to reject an anti-DEI proposal, 99-1 percent. Merck Board recommended shareholders vote against proposal that called for eliminating "discriminatory DEI milestones" from executive compensation.

Today, I was denied access to seeing my constituent, Mr. Kilmar Abrego Garcia. If there is nothing to hide, cut the crap. Let his lawyer and I check on him.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is under scrutiny for a $50M Gulfstream jet request, funded by the Coast Guard's budget. It's a misuse of taxpayer money and prioritizes luxury over essential services.#AdminOfGrift

Ignorance Is Power... not bliss! Scott Pelley, CBS 60 Minutes: “Our sacred rule of law is under attack... journalism is under attack. Universities are under attack. Freedom of speech is under attack." Don't let your ignorance give power to those trampling our democracy! vimeo.com/1087863471?s...

Trump Chickens Out on Tariff Threat After Phone Call With Europe BACKING DOWN The president of the European Commission said she’d had a “good call” with Trump. go.shr.lc/4mnMZyC

Corruption on a massive scale, all in plain sight. The GOP is too craven and greedy for its own tax breaks to call it out.

Phang: It’s time for federal judges to acknowledge that they have lifetime appointments—and that should give them the courage to uphold the rule of law, but also to put some damn teeth into the court orders they’re issuing. it’s time that we start seeing action from the judiciary. Grow some balls

It’s time to turn the lights out on Lauren Boebert

Hell yeah 🔥🔥🔥 Hakeem Jeffries: “I don’t work for you, sir. I work for the American people.”

NEW: The Pentagon has officially accepted the illegal $400M emolument from Qatar. abcnews.go.com/Politics/pen...

As the Original Sin authors write, “Biden on a day-in, day-out basis could certainly make decisions and assert wisdom and act as President.”

It's not really deportation if people are sent to countries where they never lived. It's a human trafficking ring. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Tariffs were NEVER going to “bring manufacturing back to the US.” There are many reasons, including: •Even with tariffs, US labor is prohibitively expensive •America’s supply chain isn’t ready •Most Americans don’t want to do manufacturing jobs •Not enough unemployed workers to fill new factories

Angie Craig: "I have no idea why we think it's a good idea to repeal a tax on silencers when we are going to feed fewer children in our country as a result of this. It's a moral damn failure is what it is."

“Are we safe? Is my family safe? My grandma is on Medicare because she has diabetes and asthma.. I have lesbian moms and I am scared for all of us.” A courageous 6th grade girl asked Rep Ro Khanna what many children are worrying about in America. #ResistFascism #HandsOff @rokhanna.bsky.social

It’s literally a Reverse Robin Hood bill

McGovern: "This is not a governing philosophy. It is a scam. I wasn't sent here to vote for trash. I can't understand why you'd choose a career of public service to do this -- to rip away the healthcare & food assistance of working & middle class Americans. Is that really what you came here to do?"

Kristi Noem incorrectly defined habeas corpus as the president’s right to deport people. Huh? That’s… not even close.

The very definition of evil is incarcerating for life in one of the worst hellholes on Earth men who did everything right. But it’s beyond evil—beyond demonic—to then not try to do anything to save the men you consigned to Hell, *and* to in fact libel and slander them daily when they cannot reply.
