Why are they hiding tanks in The Port of LA?

Just to be crystal clear: bombing Iran is completely illegal.

In Pasadena, protesters ran ICE out of a hotel. The hotel insisted ICE leave. Protesters slashed tires of many of the vehicles and local tow companies refused to assist. /

6/21, Los Angeles: A neighborhood volunteer documenting ICE was stopped by agents in an unmarked car, surrounded, and threatened by masked agents while they filmed him on their phones.

📢 A US Army combat veteran has a few words to express his thoughts on the oath he took. 🔥

Or at the very least, glitter-bomb them.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

Five things to remember about war:

It’s the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse

This is not good.

Our nation and planet cannot survive four years of this. It is not sustainable.

Take note.

FUN FACT: Netanyahu has spent the better part of two decades trying to strong arm the United States into an unprovoked war against Iran and finally found a president stupid enough to do it for him. Unbelievable.

Much as I would not dare to predict the consequences of this war, I do think we can summarize it thusly so far: A smart and evil man manipulated a stupid and evil man into a war against a fanatical and evil regime.

I'm watching the HBO documentary on the Ohio State sexual abuse case that should've come out before the election, and wow. It's gutting and hard to watch, but I wish everyone would. And Jim Jordan is a big fat liar and despicable person. But you all knew that.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

at least he didn't do something truly reckless like try to forgive student loans

😳 “ICE…more seemingly CULTURALLY in COMMON with the KLAN” 😳 🚩

JD Vance, you know my name. If you want to talk about political theater, let’s start with the thousands of troops that your administration is using as props in Los Angeles.

Governor @GavinNewsom’s social media team is ready for @JDVance

😕 🇺🇸

Mayor Karen Bass standing on business🔥 His name is Senator ALEX Padilla.

“‘Word got out that there were Homeland Security vehicles parked at the hotel. … People wanted to express their 1st Amendment rights and they did so in a lawful, nonviolent and respectful manner.’” apple.news/AjfQZ8rVTTxW...

NEW: Pope Leo’s newly appointed Bishop, Michael Pham, outside the court in San Diego: “We need to speak up for the voiceless in our society - and we will.” The video then shows masked ICE agents leaving without snatching anyone today. More of this resistance nationwide! 👏 (🎥 PSL San Diego)

SAY IT PLAIN: Federal “ICE officers” should not be anonymous. And this shouldn’t be a controversial thing to say.

You know what would truly “make America great again? New management.

Last night in The OC... 'If MAGA bosses won't let Rep Young Kim come and have a dialogue with her constituents, I will!' @ericswalwell.bsky.social Democrat Rep Eric Swalwell held a Town Hall for Kim's constituents in #CA40 And there were a lot of pissed off seniors

Immigration is what made America great. If they want to “make America great again” they should understand this.

You can see the ICE agents in their minivans then the LAPD cars in the back appearing to block the Dodger Stadium parking lot entrance. When I asked an LAPD officer if they are blocking ICE from entering the parking lot she said “put it this way. The Dodgers don’t want them coming in.”

NOTE TO MY FELLOW AMERICANS: Regime change starts at home.

Peace be upon us.

It should be illegal for law enforcement to wear masks and not show ID. This makes it too easy to impersonate law enforcement and murder people in their homes.

So Starship Ship 36 just detonated *before* the static fire test - fueled and waiting for the test. Looks like the top tank lets go and sets off the whole stack. It would be bad enough if it let go during the static fire test, but it just blew up. And it's cooking off the fuel tanks on the pad.

"'Have we no shame?'" Judge William Young asked, in an unmistakeable echo of attorney Joseph Welch, who famously punctured Joe McCarthy’s popularity with his simple plea for decency."

"I'll tell you what it's felt like in Los Angeles. It's felt like we're part of a grand experiment. What happens – how far will the public tolerate the federal government intervening and seizing power from a governor? And I think it's being tried out here." Mayor Karen Bass

Make this go viral.

Schatz: People are seeing what chaos really looks like. We are on the brink of some very dangerous developments in the Middle East, and we have chaos inside the US—not chaos the federal government can’t control, but chaos the federal government is, in some instances, precipitating or making worse.

💔

New in PN: Judge rules that anti-woke is just racism “'I’ve never seen a record where racial discrimination was so palpable,' Judge Young fumed. 'I’ve sat on this bench now for 40 years. I’ve never seen government racial discrimination like this.' *More of this, please*"

Having a bit of a hard time with the concept that if a guy in a police uniform who has a police vehicle shows up I should lock the doors and call 911, but if a guy in a ski mask with an hGH gut appears to be kidnapping my neighbor, I shouldn’t ask who he is if I don’t want federal charges.

Gov Gavin Newsom’s TikTok page is 🔥

SCOOP: The "Appeal To Heaven" flag, a popular symbol for Christian nationalists that was waved by January 6 rioters, was raised over the Small Business Administration headquarters last week.

the lesson of this isn't that tucker carlson is actually good but that you should ask these people basic factual questions instead of bullshit about politics

ICE agents are out here manhandling elected officials—yet again. They arrested NYC Comptroller Brad Lander for asking if they had a warrant—which is his constitutional right. (1/2)

Parnas: He sends the Marines into American cities not to protect us, folks, but to silence us. He ignores court orders like they’re optional. He surrounds himself with loyalists who exist solely to carry out his will. This is a leadership style that’s called authoritarianism.
