The "War on Women" continues in #WestVirginia A West Virginia prosecutor is warning women that a miscarriage could lead to criminal charges www.cnn.com/2025/06/06/h...

If you see what you think is an ICE operation/raid call and report it to the DIRE hotline 888-DIRE-SOS (888-347-3767). Note the time and exact address. Make note of the number and type of cars involved and the number of agents and what uniforms they are wearing. Take photos and video if you can.

They Feared the Hot Water #YouLookStupid

Better pay attention!!!

Whooping cough (pertussis) is also known as “100 day cough” bc it can cause 100 days of coughing so severe that rib fractures are common. It also makes small children stop breathing without warning, often fatally. Vaccination can prevent up to 89% of infections but requires boosting every few years

They don't want to feed us with our own money. Do we get to bite the hand now?

Timeline cleanse

I feel like people have amnesia as to what happened in Portland in 2020. DHS drove around abducting people with unmarked vans. The mayor got tear gassed. DHS was always this.

ICE agents or bounty hunters? A raid at Home Depot on Wilshire in Los Angeles earlier today. What’s disturbing is that they’re wearing masks and vests you could buy on Amazon. They’re in unmarked cars, and I don’t see any IDs on the officers — regular SUVs with standard plates.

HAPPENING NOW: DOZENS of ICE agents seen gearing up for a night raid in LA Chinatown. This is how the U.S. treats immigrant communities. Like criminals. Like targets. Pull up to 721 Hill St. NOW. Document. Witness. DEFEND.

So, if a cosplaying incel fascist militia freak throws on a Shein ICE vest and covers his stupid fucking face with a camo balaclava, we are supposed to… obey?? Really. We’re supposed to obey? No. #AbolishICE

Protesters have surrounded the federal detention center in Los Angeles. California isn’t backing down, this is a full-blown standoff with the feds.

People in Los Angeles rising up against ICE.

West Virginia is warning that women who have a miscarriage could be charged with a crime unless they contact local police. Every woman in WV should call 911 every time they have a period. Gum up the system with malicious compliance. www.cnn.com/2025/06/06/h...

George Washington prayed at the Touro Synagogue in Newport, RI in 1790 to demonstrate that our new nation would welcome all faiths.

Just received word that ICE has detained an 11th grader from Ridgewood’s Grover Cleveland High School after a routine immigration hearing. Apprehending minors in courthouses and separating them from their families is unacceptable, and I join the school in calling for his release

ICE waited until a woman’s lawyer went to the restroom then dragged her away. She fainted from stress and they dragged her unconscious body into the elevator, refusing medical attention.

On D-Day eve, never forget when an American D-Day veteran showed praise and appreciation to Ukrainian President Zelenskyy last year, with Zelenskyy praising him back for his role in one of the most significant events in history, an event that was instrumental in saving the world. 🇺🇸🇺🇦🪖. #DDay

Chief of Nashville, criminal division resigns over decision to charge Abrego Garcia. That’s a big story and the details will likely be very damning for the administration.

EVERYBODY WATCH. ICE IS OUT OF CONTROL. Video of SEIU California’s President David Huerta getting assaulted & arrested during an ICE raid in the warehouse district of Downtown Los Angeles today. He’s an LA native, American citizen and labor leader. Don’t turn away.

BREAKING The President of California’s largest union has been detained during an ICE raid.

SCOOP: The CDC is planning to move information on cases of diseases like measles and polio to a data system managed by Palantir, raising concerns about patient privacy. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/06/h...

Scenes like this were DIRECTLY caused by Stephen Miller's wailing that ICE can't arrest the number of people he promised they would arrest (bc he lied abt how many criminal aliens there are).

ABC reports Kilmar Abrego Garcia is being returned to the United States abcnews.go.com/US/mistakenl...

If a Democratic president cut off one of the red states dependent on federal funding, it would be a political scandal. But cutting off California -- the single biggest "donor state" in the nation, one that sends in to the fed'l gov't ~$80 billion more than it gets back -- is straight-up theft.

The Jonathan Joss story is so hideous that every time you look at it again, it gets worse. Stay safe, look out for each other. The worst of us have been weaponized and approved by the worst people in power.

He was sleeping on a concrete floor with no mattress and just a foil blanket? Is this how we treat human beings?

Rare audio. Celia Black, 1974 - 114 years old, remembering the slave fields. Her voice isn't ancient history — it's a reminder we're only a generation removed from this. Think you know American history? You don't. 🧠ERASED reveals what they buried. 📖Read it. Share it: stan.store/gxldsociety/...

America did not storm the beaches at Normandy alone on June 6, 1944. We had allies who fought with us. Allies from Britain, Canada, Australia, Belgium, Czechoslovakia, France, Greece, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), and Poland. open.substack.com/pub/charlies...
