Short animated film here that describes life under fascism pretty well. www.threads.com/@jenboyles/p...

Come on, America. We have everything to lose if we aren’t actionable. The time is now! Show up and speak out! Save our democracy. #MomSky

Philly local tv station reporting that a man allegedly posed as an ICE agent in order to rob a car repair business office. How many other criminals might be getting this idea right now, given that actual ICE agents are refusing to show IDs, warrants, badges?

Great News That’s Really Awful For Trump

IMPEACH! actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

Dedicated civil servants throughout government feel compelled to quit rather than violate their personal, professional, and/or legal obligations. Fortunately, rather than slink away, many have been speaking out, making a record of MAGA’s nihilistic destruction of functional government.

Detroit showed solidarity with Los Angeles today — a protest in unity following yesterday’s ICE raids in California. With the National Guard now in L.A., it’s clear: concerns about federal force are resonating well beyond the West Coast.

Very grateful to these veterans and other protestors for standing up for our democracy at Camp Pendleton. www.cbs8.com/article/news...

for a look at what could come next in the Trump administration’s war on immigrants, read @davidgilbert.bsky.social on the upcoming US ‘Office of Remigration’ — Remigration is an immigration policy touted by extremists that calls for the removal of all migrants—including “non-assimilated” citizens.

Ex-National Guard Honcho Condemns Trump’s LA Riots ‘Stunt’ to Fox News: ‘Bad for All Americans’ https://twp.ai/4ioUHu

Trump ain’t exactly Making America Great Again… unless you’re into crime. Then I guess it’s the golden age. Read public notice. 👇

States’ rights!

I don’t support Trump wasting at least $45 million in taxpayer money on a military parade for his authoritarian birthday. Give that money to Veterans. Don’t forget to subscribe: www.dworkinsubstack.com/subscribe

LAPD fired rubber bullets at Australian journalist @laurentomasi.bsky.social

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.

Newsom: We talked for 20 minutes, this issue never came up. I kept trying to talk about LA, he wanted to talk about all these other issues. He never once brought up the national guard. There’s no working with the President. There’s only working for him. I will never work for Trump

“Tasted a little tear gas— tasted like fascism”

There’s no such thing as A.I “art.” It’s a soulless amalgamation of plagiarised data. That is the antithesis of art.

60 Minutes found no criminal record for 75% of the Venezuelan migrants the U.S. sent to a mega-prison in El Salvador. https://cbsn.ws/4lC4Vp5

The 10% tariff alone is a $2500 per household annual tax hike!

Just when you think humanity has been lost, community steps up <3

60% of American households can’t afford a minimal quality of life. Meanwhile, the 19 richest households saw their wealth increase by $1 trillion in 2024 — the biggest one-year increase ever. Our problem isn't a lack of resources. Our problem is ever-expanding inequality.

This thread!

The authoritarian script

The conservative justices are running out of ways to humiliate themselves in public

@repmcgovern.bsky.social brought fire.

JD Vance on Trumpcare in 2017: "What is it that's going to drive Trump's voter away from him? Well, losing their health care may actually be the answer to that question." Mission accomplished.

Habba charged McIver saying "...Constitutional obligation to ensure that our federal law enforcement is protected...executing duties.” NOW Rep Nancy Mace plans to expel McIver 4 interfering w/a "lawful" arrest of Mayor Baraka, BUT that arrest is now dropped. I stand w/ @replamonica.bsky.social

A major new study on online campaign ads is out. Guess what: they have basically ZERO impact. So, the Dem playbook is: 1️⃣ Sell out party brand for mega-donor cash. 2️⃣ Spam the rest of with texts/emails. 3️⃣ Pay consultants $$$ to buy those ads. 4️⃣ Get basically NOTHING in return. 5️⃣ Repeat.

While I appreciate the "lock him up" and "impeach him" sentiments (and I'm with you), if Mueller, Garland, and impeachment taught us anything, its that 1) SCOTUS is corrupt and 2) We have to do this ourselves. As I've been saying for nearly 8 years: it's up to us. Always has been.

These people are actually TRYING to be movie villains. Who leaves a movie & says to themselves, "That Thanos guy really has it right!"???

One of the founders of Ben & Jerry’s was arrested on Wednesday after he interrupted a Senate committee hearing to protest Congress’s funding for Israel’s military as it wages war against Hamas in Gaza. Read more: nyti.ms/43uubGu

Again, leaving children behind helpless is intentionally done by ICE to make Americans angry enough to get into the streets like the last time he separated families. Only this time, these “deportation forces” will be used against dissenters. They are stoking our anger to justify their violence.
