I’m in LA and have hey have closed EVERY exit on the 101 to downtown. We can’t even get to the protest.

PARIS, France. Emotional protest at Place de la Bastille, calling for an end to fascism in America. #NoKings #Resist

Houston Texas.

Los Angeles #NoKings

They launched a coup, suffered no consequences for it, won back power, and have used the power to pardon everyone involved while remaking the country through violence and intimidation. It’s just ridiculous to talk about the political violence of yelling at ICE agents within that context.

The idea that this political violence is the consequence of people on both sides cheering it on seems like a sympathetic point but just doesn’t hold up to history. In my adult life, I’ve seen people on the right do everything from kill politicians to kill regular citizens, and it’s shrugged off.

If you're heading out to a protest, there are a number of concepts to keep in mind to keep yourself—and your data—safe.

Amanda Anisimova takes out top seed Zheng Qinwen: 6-2, 4-6, 6-4. Top top tennis from both. The American took this one in her hands. 🎾 #tennis

We have entered the "The police is saying that if the police is at your door you are not safe call the police immediately" stage of making America great again

Elena Rybakina and Qinwen Zheng will face each other in the first round of Berlin. Blockbuster of an opening match. This should be a good one. 🍿

so far this week: DHS vows to not leave California till it is "liberated" from elected reps Opposition leaders detained illegally Opposition leaders indicted Opposition leaders and families murdered to wrest control of a state military parade with tanks through US capital Red line here yet?

This is very sus from Zheng Qinwen with the shoes again. 🎾 #tennis

Within minutes of the attack on Jewish demonstrators in Boulder the FBI and HLS declared it a terrorist attack and rolled in. It's been 8 hours since the targeted assassinations of Democratic legislators in MN and Bongino says they're "assisting local partners." Silence from Trump. We see you.

Let's get something straight right now. The Minnesota assasinations are not the product of "overheated rhetoric on both sides" or any other such bullshit. This horror is the direct result of Trump's constant vile, violent pronouncements. He has inspired political violence for years.

Why ‘The Rider’ is the best sports book I've ever read defector.com/why-the-ride...

Please stop making confident pronouncements about these awful shootings that aren’t supported by facts. Local people are pleading with you to stop and wait for actual reporting.

you ever think about how in 2009 DHS released a report about the growing threat of violent domestic terrorism from the right and then Republicans got so mad about it the DHS secretary resigned?

The Maga Reich !!

No one is in danger from undocumented immigrants. EVERYONE is endangered by the fascist Right in this country and that means the GOP.

Seems very bad but it's time to put up the bat signal

We have been working on a story about the run of ICE impersonators robbing and terrorizing mostly Latino businesses. Now this has jumped to impersonating cops for politically motivated assassinations.

He is the king of projection.

Walz announces that Rep. Melissa Hortman is dead as a result of a "politically motivated assassination"

I have never been a supporter of Donald Trump, but if Democrats cannot stop him from using the military against American civilians, I'll have no choice but to support all of his future terms and inform on my neighbors when they criticize him.

this entire news cycle was driven by a single billionaire, upset because he was justifiably criticized for saying ignorant shit about AI and crypto

Catherine talking about how Zheng Qinwen walks about like she’s an empress. And how there’s quite a bit of resentment in the locker room about. 🎾 #tennis

Well, that was quick. I'm pretty sure we should all stop saying that the shooter in Minnesota was dressed like a policeman and just assert that there is no longer any way to know whether or not anyone is or isn't law enforcement. Because that is the truth.

Chicago congresswoman @repdeliaramirez hands Kristi Noem a letter of resignation and encourages her to use it 👀

Hey MAGA-no wars under Trump right? Get ready for the draft, because we do not have enough soldiers to fight a full scale (possible world war) war, while Trump deploys Marines to kill Americans on our own streets. Come on, man. You know what’s going to happen here. #OneV1 #ProudBlue

It's ok to be wrong. Holding on to bullshit just so you don't have to admit that to yourself is unhealthy. It's especially OK to change your mind about political views you held when there is evidence to contradict what you thought. Trump is in fact a fascist. You can say so.

"Sheriff has history of cop-like behavior"

Two phrases that need to be retired: “We are better than this.” (We’re not.) The U.S. president is “the leader of the free world.” (He’s not.)

BORDER PATROL: “Are you an 🇺🇸 citizen?” 🔥 NATIVE AMERICAN WOMAN: “FIRST ONES. We didn’t cross the border, the border crossed us… what are you? You’re not first born. You’re not from this f*ckin’ land. Punk-as* b*tches.”

I’ve activated the State Emergency Operations Center. Local law enforcement in Champlin and Brooklyn Park have the full resources of the State of Minnesota behind them. We are monitoring the situation closely and will share more information soon.
