Gavin Newsom: “Democracy is under assault before our eyes. This moment we have feared has arrived. He’s taking a wrecking ball to our Founding Fathers’ historic project. Three co-equal branches of independent government. There are no longer any checks and balances.“

Those who stay quiet now, in the face of this lawless President, will regret it. Like so many throughout history who stood silent as dictators worked to seized power. Preserving the rule of law and our Constitution is a job that belongs to all of us.

Newsom: This Saturday, he's ordering our American heroes, the United States military, and forcing them to put on a vulgar display to celebrate his birthday, just as other failed dictators have done in the past

Here's Governor Newsome's full address tonight: www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXQQ...

Vaccines protect Americans from preventable illness and death. They are thoroughly studied. RFK Jr.’s political decision to arbitrarily remove vaccine experts further erodes Americans’ trust in science and puts countless lives at risk. How does this Make America Healthy Again?

Jamie Foxx, you are an ULTIMATE ICON for a reason! God IS good! So proud to see you grace the BET Awards stage and get the flowers you’ve more than earned. Salute, my brother! 👏🏿🏆

While Trump blusters about "law & order," a reminder that his administration has dropped or halted nearly 150 corporate enforcement actions. And Trump himself has pardoned dozens of his supporters convicted of crimes like money laundering and bribery. The hypocrisy is staggering.

RFK Jr., who's supposed to be all about "facts and logic," is out here removing members of the CDC’s vaccine advisory committee?!? Y’all, these aren’t political appointees. These are public health experts—people who’ve spent their careers working to keep Americans safe from disease.

California AG Bonta: I, in partnership with Governor Gavin Newsom, are suing President Trump and asking the court to set aside the president's unlawful action federalizing the California National Guard.

BREAKING: Gov. Newsom is asking for a restraining order on Trump/Hegseth's use of the military in Los Angeles, saying they are preparing to go on immigration raids with ICE. He wants a ruling within two hours. "They must be stopped immediately." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I love LA.

Jeffries: "We will not be lectured by Donald Trump and anyone in the Republican Party about issues of law and order ... he pardoned hundreds of violent felons, criminals, who brutally assaulted police officers and attacked the Capitol on January 6. That's what Donald Trump did on day one."

Worst president in U.S. history.

You need all hands on deck, full-scale resistance. Every institution, every organization, every sector needs to speak out and resist Trump's fascist regime. Each act of resistance causes a crack in the regime, slows down the machine, and eventually...with time...they will collapse.

Bonta: We brought a lawsuit today on behalf of the governor and the State of California, challenging as unlawful the president’s federalization of the National Guard.. The authority he relies on does not permit him to unilaterally call in the National Guard.

Marines in LA. Army tanks and howitzers in the streets of DC. Donald Trump’s America. And he’s just getting started.

No one is safe from this administration!

The situation in DTLA to which 700 Marines have been deployed is a couple dozen interfaith clergypersons leading a small crowd in prayer.

The President needs to explain why he took the escalatory step of activating the Nat’l Guard. As an Army vet, I know that using the military domestically should ONLY be a last resort.

This is a pretty important point!

ATTN: If you’re a member of the National Guard or you work for ICE and you’re asked to violate the law or your oath, contact Whistleblower Aid to safely, securely, and legally blow the whistle. You can support Whistleblower Aid HERE: whistlebloweraid.org/beans/

A good time to read up on the life of Ruben Salazar, the history of immigrant/Latino life in LA, and the manner of his death. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruben_S...

Independent journalism is when you can write what Terry Moran wrote without getting in trouble. Corporate journalism is when you can’t. It’s why many left the latter for the former. I understand the rationale behind corp journalism rules, I’m just glad they don’t apply to me

Repost! Get the word out!

Zelenskyy: "Trust me, we understand the Russians much better, the mentality of the Russians, than the Americans understand the Russians. I know for sure Putin doesn't want to stop the war."

Hello. I live in Los Angeles. The president is lying.

there is no rioting. nobody is looting. Nobody is burning random stuff down. This is just americans rising up to protect their neighbors from the ICE brownshirts.

Abolish ICE

This tweet alone warrants his impeachment and removal.

This isn’t even remotely legal what he is doing.

AIDS Memorial Quilt on display October 11-13 1996 on the National Mall in Washington D.C. Let us never forget.

Joe Biden was old and not fully competent and his staff covered it up. Big scandal. Donald Trump was accused by his top donor and former top ‘Special Government Employee’ of being a pedophile. So are his staff covering that up? Isn’t that, y’know, a bigger scandal?

It’s corruption at the highest w

LAPD tear gassed, pepper balled and assaulted protesters to clear the way for ICE to conduct these raids. LAPD claiming it wasn’t involved is like a safecracker saying he didn’t rob the bank, he just opened the vault.
