Four LAPD officers on horseback surround a man laying on the ground, trample him, and beat him with their polycarbonate "saber" batons.

They're tear-gassing babies in strollers and elderly Chicano community leaders in Los Angeles. This is a completely peaceful march.

Unacceptable!

DEVELOPING: No warning. No reason. NYPD officers rushed into the crowd and tackled a protester this weekend. His body was limp. He couldn’t move. He said, “I can’t feel my legs.” He might never walk again. For showing up. This is brutality. This is America.

Yeah I guess LeBron putting up a 22.6 PER is pretty special, but it's not that impressive when you compare him to people rolling out of bed and firing off something like this at age 86.

For some reason, I was just thinking about how Trump’s former chief of staff tried to warn us right before the election that Trump was a fascist who wanted to rule us like a dictator … and the New York Times put that story on page A12

Apparently, California will be the national flashpoint. Probably because it's the wealthiest state, and the most vocally anti-TACO. For those committed to peaceful protest, PLEASE practice de-escalation techniques, like this one. Film EVERYTHING. Share this widely with your groups, and be careful!!

So they want us to believe that people who were seeking work at Home Depot are a threat to our community?? The same people who suburban families invite into their homes to complete tiling and roofing projects?! That’s who we’re supposed to fear and not the thugs in riot gear?!?

All of these violent, lawless ICE officers terrorizing communities and hiding their faces weren't just hired this year. It's why dismantling ICE as an agency was so important and remains so. These people are unfit to be public servants if they hate the public.

And there you have it. ICE didn't target migrant workers in Kristi Noem's farms or Sarah Huckabee Sanders' meatpacking plants because they wanted to create a riot in LA as a pretext to declaring martial law. They don't care about undocumented migrants, they only care about controlling US citizens.

"These are real people with real families" cool when they come home do they tell the kids about how they busted up an elementary school graduation that day

May their shame eat them alive.

I bet it'd be easier for Americans to see ICE agents as just regular folks if they weren't, you know, wearing black masks and hiding their names and identities from the public out of shame.

I honestly don’t know how any party that accepts this — and not saying the dems have — can ever again be competitive enough to overcome gerrymandering and voter inertia. The man did a Nazi salute. What are we doing here??

MAJOR UPDATE: The Supreme Court just handed DOGE the keys to all the sensitive personal information Social Security has on file — your income, benefits, health records, and more. Why do Donald Trump and his cronies need access to millions of Americans’ private data? It’s absurd.

We spent so long treating Americans data like a profit center and not a right that no one is terrified enough at this gross attack on our civil liberties www.nytimes.com/2025/06/06/u...

Just like the autism registry and trans bans, the Trump regime is saying one thing, doing another, and most media is taking them at their word.

New: A DOGE staffer developed an AI tool to review Veterans Affairs contracts. But there was a slight hitch. It hallucinated the size of those deals. For example, it concluded that more than a thousand contracts were each worth $34M, when in fact some were for as little as $35,000.

If only the New York Times had made this big of a deal in December 2022 when Trump called for “termination” of the Constitution. (That ran on Page 13. Yes, Page 13.)

must be incredibly frustrating and disheartening to have federal funding that was promised to you for important work suddenly and arbitrarily ripped away

In retrospect maybe the Democrats should have put this in some ads after gawker published it in 2015

This is one of the powerful and devastating exchanges of this terrible Trump era. Bravo Rep. Madeline Dean!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“I was happy to work with a man I knew was pedophile until he cut my EV credit” is such a hilarious rich person sentiment

"Biden was old but governed normally. Trump governs erratically *because* he’s unglued. That’s the true cover-up, one the media is enabling when they seem more concerned with the mental condition of a former president than the escalating madness of the current one."

again, this staggering idiot — this living monument to gross stupidity — is basically the intellectual guru of the sitting vice president

Not only are parks profitable, they inject billions to local economies and welcome 300+ million people a year. This is yet more wealth extraction to private interests not just from all of us as a nation but hundreds of communities and small businesses.

I’m gonna lose it man

A radical transformation of our way of life is underway. Don’t let anyone gaslight you into thinking this administration is normal.

Basically the musk story boils down to: immigrant on drug-fueled rampage massacres hundreds of thousands of innocents and robs your social security checks and Medicaid plans as law enforcement shrugs.

Would also be great if Congress called for investigations and consequences. I hope my reps @degette.house.gov @hickenlooper.bsky.social and @michaelbennet.bsky.social will initiate it!

@hickenlooper.bsky.social @michaelbennet.bsky.social @degette.house.gov please run all the way with this! :)

For starters, Democrats need to actually field a candidate against Mike Johnson, unlike the 2022 and 2024 campaigns when they let him run unopposed. The odds of unseating him will be long, but use the campaign to put him on defense and make our version of Pierre Poilievre sweat a little.

It seems bad that if a nuclear-level emergency required immediate decisive action from the White House, it would basically be impossible to know who was giving the orders, whether they were given securely, and if they could be effectively communicated to the American people.

So many of these pols haven’t experienced the depth and breadth of a narcissistic abuser and it shows. They will always seek to punish, whether you comply or rebel, and the punishments will always grow more extreme.

weeks after Gretchen Whitmer took part in multiple photo ops with Trump, Trump says he's "looking at" pardoning men who were convicted of conspiring to kidnap her

Oh, so now we care about what people post on social media? Wild how student visas are getting paused for a vibe check, but some of y’all have been posting red flags for years and still got a security clearance. Make it make sense.

They blame pollution but cut the EPA and clean air and water regulations. They blame poor nutrition but cut SNAP and programs to bring local produce to schools. They blame increased screen time while destroying public infrastructure that connects people. All while they take millions off healthcare.

Remember how they gaslit us with the so-called Obama death panels? Now they're real, and they're the GOP's death panels.

What I'm hearing is that his attendance at this dinner where people hand him bribes is not an official presidential action, as designated for absolute criminal immunity in Trump v. United States

The lower court ruling blocking Oklahoma from using public funds for a religious charter school STANDS. This is a huge win, and we need it. www.nbcnews.com/politics/sup...

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.

“you should have a choice” means “we get to choose for you”

The DHS Secretary does not know what habeas corpus is. Every elected Democrat in the country should call on her to resign, today.

WHEN is his mental acuity going to become a topic for mainstream media?

Adriana Smith has been on life support for roughly 12 weeks despite the wishes of her family. This is happening all because of Georgia's cruel abortion ban. The bill was designed to be vague and create a chilling effect on doctors providing essential maternal healthcare services. (1)
