Fact. Good night bluesky friends 😴

“These people are doing exactly what they’re supposed to do & getting disappeared. I watched this happen & I’ve had nightmares all week," said our Lead Immigration Attorney, Rachel Levenson. See what happened when we tried to enter this ICE detainment center in NYC. www.amny.com/news/nyc-con...

this is genuinely insane. we’re going to need to jail people involved with this administration

She was right.

Marine veterans are speaking out against the troop deployment in Los Angeles. Across the country, they’re taking down their American flags that have flown in front of their homes for years. Remember, we have friends everywhere.

And the people bowed and prayed To the neon god they made And the sign flashed out its warning In the words that it was forming Then the sign said, "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls In tenement halls" And whispered in the sound of silence.

"In our federal system, the National Gov. possesses only limited powers; the States and the people retain the remainder. The States have broad authority to enact legislation for the public good—what we have often called a 'police power.' The Fed. Gov., by contrast, has no such authority."-SCOTUS '14

True story bro.

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

JS....

What we’re seeing in L.A. isn’t an insurrection—so why federalize the National Guard? Why the threat of using the U.S. military against civilians? We’re not there yet—but we’re closer than we think. Watch this Project 2025 reminder until the end. Then view everything happening through that lens.

California Governor Gavin Newsom: "This is deranged behavior."

Oh, Canada.

I notice people calling what we’re seeing these last couple of days “riots.” I was here during the 1992 Los Angeles riots. That’s not what this is. Local police can handle this, but ICE needs to back off—especially with these amateur hires who don’t know what the f*ck they’re doing.

June 14, 2025: Washington, DC.

What country is this?

"Tanner, a chemist at the Univ. of Mississippi working to develop a novel approach for treating glioblastoma, was notified in April that the grant was terminated. “I would like to cure brain cancer,” Dr. Tanner said. “I think that's not particularly controversial.” www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

The Republican plan to bury Medicaid recipients in paperwork: “Similar state-level policies have reduced the number of Medicaid recipients — but only by increasing the administrative burden on recipients, not by increasing the share who are employed.” www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

🎯 Absolutely amazing truth!!!!!!!!

My dad, who has lived under a dictatorship, knows one when he sees one. His first text this morning is that we are now officially in a dictatorship. It is all pretty grim.

BREAKING: Pete Hegseth just stated that he will mobilize the U.S. Marines, who are now on high alert, to California from Camp Pendleton in if he needs to. Marines turned on US citizens. Does this sound like America to you?

We need to stand up for @terrymoranabc.bsky.social

Ahem.

We need each other more now than ever!

This is positive use of wealth!

So we all Remember......

BREAKING: ABC News says senior national correspondent Terry Moran has been suspended “pending further evaluation” over a post calling Stephen Miller a “world-class hater.” This comes less than two hours after the White House called on ABC to punish the journalist for expressing his views.

This draft dodger, who liked to pretend he was in the military by wearing this cute little costume in high school, is planning to use our real military domestically against US citizens. This violates the Posse Comitatus Act enacted in 1878 to stop our military being used as a domestic police force.

😳

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."

These militarist ICE raids are the actual government oppression that right wingers dreamed was happening during Covid. They are not up in arms like they were about masking, go figure.

I remember the good old days when Secretaries of Defense didn’t insert themselves unsolicited into domestic politics on a daily basis. Not what the job is supposed to be about.

Good morning bluesky friends ☕️

Is this just kind of like repeat it until you believe it yourself? Your boss pardoned everyone who assaulted law enforcement on January 6th. Ass!!!

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.

We can all recognize these eyes... no names needed.
