Thousands march through New York City’s Times Square protesting the bombing of Iran.

In 2018 Trump tore up the nuclear containment deal with Iran that President Obama negotiated . Trump said he would engage all nations in a new deal. Wrong. He didn’t. So here we are.

Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare. Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed. Getting big money out of politics. Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages. If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.

Instead of CUTTING Social Security benefits, Congress should INCREASE payments by $200 per month and extend the solvency of the Social Security program by 75 YEARS. How? Make the wealthiest Americans pay a fairer share. I’ve got a bill to get it done.

The mother of Adrian Andrew Martinez is pleading for answers as her son remains unaccounted for nearly 24 hours later. ICE kidnapped Adrian yesterday while he was on break in the Walmart parking lot in Pico Rivera. FREE ADRIAN!

I remember when people thought Representative Ocasio-Cortez calling to abolish ICE was radical. Now I believe a great many of us understand it is ICE's existence and cruel practices that are radical and it must be abolished!

Every machine in a Hospital that diagnoses your body without cutting you open is based on a principle of Physics, discovered by a Physicist who had no interest in Medicine. If you think the world doesn’t need Basic Science, or that somehow Science has failed you, think again.

“Running the government like a business” is just another way of saying that we should privatize government services afforded to everyone. You know who would love that? Wall Street and big corporations. Don’t buy into the myth. https://youtu.be/hqn1uD_B70U?si=aClsRAYTJHYGXpB4

She is amazing!

In America, we don’t show off our awesome power. Small, petty,weak dictators do. But Trump greatly admires petty,weak dictators. He also puts gold on everything he is near. Same Idea; same narcissism,same insecurity. Can’t wait for a check and balance on this self described “dictator on day one.”

When I tell you Los Angeles is an occupied city/county, this is what I mean… Yesterday, ICE agents showed up to a regular Saturday swap meet with armed Marines and a military helicopter overhead, like it’s a fucking war zone.

Reporter: I'm going to show you what 20,000 people in the streets of downtown Los Angeles looks like

In this episode, Kate (‪@katewillett.bsky.social‬) and I discuss our experiences growing up with Christianity, and how the TESCREAL worldview is rapidly merging with Christian eschatology. We cover a lot of fascinating topics! Give it a listen and share, if you'd like! :-) Link below. 👇

The question now is whether Trump will try to end-run the court’s decision by invoking the Insurrection Act, one provision of which would allow him to federalize the Nat. Guard WITHOUT the governor’s permission, AND use them for law enforcement (not just protection)

Trump on Jan. 6 riots: "A day of love." Trump on L.A. protests: “IF THEY SPIT, WE WILL HIT, and I promise you they will be hit harder than they have ever been hit before.”

Double.

At some point we're going to have to stop asking "when is (insert name) going to step up and say he's gone to far" and realize that maybe they are ok with the president's actions. We must realize that no one is going to swoop in and "save" us, it has to be us... we the people. Good morning

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants. Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this. Do not.

Stoke fear. Exploit desperation. Suspend the rule of law. Fan brutality. Every time the stronger brutalize the weak, it’s fundamentally the same playbook. Our duty is to stand up to brutality. Our moral obligation is to protect the vulnerable and hold the powerful accountable.

California is the largest agricultural producer in the US. Undocumented immigrants make up approx. 75% of the CA ag workforce. What exactly do y'all think is going to happen when Trump deports all these folks? You're gonna have some barren ass grocery store shelves!

NEW: Hegseth is deploying Marines against U.S. citizens. Mayor Bass says to know your rights :

Fuck Uber.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

BREAKING: LA solidarity protesters in Austin are occupying JJ Pickle Federal Building, which houses local ICE processing center

Truth-tellers, not rioters. Protect these two men at all costs. “You feel tough with your assault rifles and your sticks. You should be standing here with us. You’re on the wrong side of history.” “John Lewis said make good trouble… that means make trouble on behalf of democracy.”

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.

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

It’s also 5 years ago dumbass.

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.

Everyone should say it: The thing about Stephen Miller is not that he is the brains behind Trumpism. Yes, he is one of the people who conceptualizes the impulses of the Trumpist movement and translates them into policy. But that's not what's interesting about Miller. It's not brains. It's bile.

Much baloney about finding “waste fraud and abuse”. Inspectors General do that. So GOP bypasses or fires them and picks a number out of thin air.Deep cuts come after the midterms but that won’t save them. This BBB (big beautiful bill) is really DDD (disgusting,damaging, disastrous). We see you.

ok. divorce is on. who gets possession of 5 teslas displayed on White house lawn? Who gets the Epstein files? Who keeps the secret information the DOGE Bros have on us? Does Trump nationalize Space X per Bannon? Does Elon convince buddy Vance to secretly support impeachment ? bring the popcorn.

Happy Pride Month!

Yesterday was tough. Today, I’m back in the fight. open.substack.com/pub/jojofrom...

Rfk jr. “cares” so much about kids that he said not a word as Trump and Republicans “beautiful bill” cut nutrition assistance to our children. Spare me your phony compassion as our children get measles when a Vaccine prevents It. And by the way think about keeping children out of polluted waters.
