No riots. No need of any kind for National Guard. The only folks escalating are Trump and his fascist friends.

San Francisco protest: ICE Out of the Bay TONIGHT (Sunday) 6pm 630 Sansome Street in SF, near Montgomery BART

A FOURTH GRADER.

lmao The Sun has a livestream of the “LA riots” on YouTube and when you click on it it’s a bunch of troops standing around doing nothing you can literally hear birds singing in the background what a time to be alive

The ship is carrying necessities including rice, flour, medical supplies, and baby formula to Gaza.

Imagine that. www.npr.org/2025/06/02/n...

Better safe than sorry… 🚨Heavy ICE Presence Expected in Los Angeles on Sunday. A bilingual warning is being shared with the community — including areas to avoid. Stay alert. Protect each other. Know your rights.

Members of the military who believe their orders are unconstitutional should call the GI Rights hotline at 1-877-447-4487

We could have had her, America.

Your daily reminder that the problem isn't drag queens. The problem is Baptist ministers who sexually abuse their daughters. If you want to keep you kids safe, keep them away from godly men. www.ourmidland.com/news/article...

Thank you @alyssonfergison.com. No more comforting lies.

🚨HAPPENING NOW 🚨 The LA community and leaders of the LA Rapid Response Network gather for a press conference following the series of ICE raids conducted this morning. When our communities are under attack, what do we do? STAND UP, FIGHT BACK! #NoDeportations

Undocumented immigrants pay almost $100 billion in taxes each year. The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes each year. Stop pretending that immigrants are the ones taking advantage of taxpayers.

kind of just endlessly sad and grieving that there are so few voices in the public sphere making the basic principled argument that immigration is an affirmative good in every way and the best way for this country to serve humanity is to welcome people who want or need to leave their homes

Bernie, you rascal! You’re spot on here.

With the Supreme Court now handing DOGE access to Social Security data, it’s becoming undeniable, the Trump administration is building the “deep state” themselves. Don’t get distracted by the noise.

This right here y’all

ICE is detaining people in LA in a basement with no beds, no air, no light and not enough food and water. These are crimes.

I said healthcare is a human right and now Elon Musk is posting about “suicidal empathy” at 3 am:

Tensions flare after ICE agents conduct raids across Los Angeles. Many protesters are out clashing with the authorities. You can see them throwing objects at the vehicles, while others tried to block the vans from leaving. Watch as ICE in the white van runs over a protester. WTF this is CRAZY!

Crowds of brave people have surrounded the ICE detention centre in Los Angeles. They are trying to liberate victims kidnapped by Trump’s regime forces. Victims were abducted and thrown into the basement of the building without due process. #3E

UPDATE: David Huerta has been released from the hospital but remains in custody. His words: "We all collectively have to object to this madness because this is not justice. This is injustice." Free David Huerta. Free them ALL.

Fellow Californians, here's who to call after today's ICE raids in LA: 1. Call your MOC: (202) 224-3121 (switchboard) 2. Call your STATE assemblymembers/senators: findyourrep.legislature.ca.gov 3. And call/email Newsom: www.gov.ca.gov/contact/

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.

Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio tried to give a press conference to announce his lawsuit against DOJ. Much to my surprise it turned out to be the greatest press conference of all-time.

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

The GOP broke the law to deport this man—then decided to indict him. Court order? Ignored. Due process? Tossed. Now they want credit for “law and order”? Chile, please. Y’all did the process completely backwards. This is Trump’s America: lawless, reckless, and cruel.

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.

LGBTQ people have the right to express ourselves however we want.

Musk cannot be “turned”, “flipped”, “allied” with. He is a Nazi and he’s killed 300,000 people, mostly children. Anyone considering taking his political contributions or discussing allying with him has no moral compass nor should they be near power.

NBC: “A former federal inmate pardoned by Trump for drug trafficking crimes tapped as deputy director of the Federal Bureau of Prisons… Joshua J. Smith, a Tennessee businessman will be 2nd in command… Smith’s pardon was supported by @GovBillLee…” www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...

If you know someone is an Epsteinite and you give him hundreds of millions to win the presidency, what does that make you

🚨NEW: @cbsnews.com reports ICE is arresting people who can't even legally be deported and holding them without enough food or water in a federal building BASEMENT in Los Angeles. Families dutifully attending check-ins with ICE are being arrested and held for days, forced to sleep on the floor.

You don’t say.

Get to know High Moon Records, the label that’s been reissuing forgotten female artists from the Sixties and Seventies like Laurie Styvers, Lotti Golden, and Jeannie Piersol.

Rob Madge has contended that "those in power" fear creatives because their work is often scrutinising or protesting against the status quo 👇

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/...

NEW: DNI Gabbard has placed a top adviser inside the ODNI’s watchdog office, U.S. officials say. The move potentially compromises the integrity of the Intelligence Community Inspector General as it is conducting an investigation of Signalgate, they say. wapo.st/4dUcEey
