Billie Eilish’s brother Finneas says he was tear-gassed during LA ICE protest

“No one is SAFE. Fascism is HERE”. 👨‍✈️ #NoKingsRally #StandUpNow

National Guard not enough?

My friend was going to come over today. She called to tell me she can't in tears. She said ICE was at the intersections by her house. She can't leave because she's undocumented. Her kids are citizens. She's afraid to let them out of the house because she's afraid they'll be targeted regardless.

This chaotic, corrupt, cruel administration has a link to history. Be someone who changes history, not a re-enactor. #FreeDaveEndRaids Find a place to voice your opinion. www.mobilize.us/aft/event/80... www.texastribune.org/2025/02/12/t... #USDemocracy #DemVoice1 #DemsUnited #Voices4Victory

From @aaronparnas.bsky.social …color me shocked that Trump is treating National Guardsmen like shit on their unnecessary and unexpected deployment in LA. #MomSky

trumps "One Big Beautiful Bill" (OBBBA) will deepen MAGA fiscal fascism by: 👉concentrating wealth & power among the elite 👉financially devastating the poor, sick & elderly 👉punishing dissent & reward loyalty 👉weakening the checks & balances of democracy bsky.app/profile/muts...

An appropriate and relatable crash-out. #MomSky

We’re going to be alright!

"Trump Is Using the National Guard as Bait. Don’t give him the pretext he wants." #ABlueView🧵1/3 "By militarizing the situation in L.A., Trump is goading Americans more generally to take him on in the streets of their own cities, thus enabling his attacks ...

TIME TO SHOW UP #NoKings Day Sat 6/14 2,000 peaceful protests are planned across the US: NoKings.org We win with nonviolent resistance History proves that peaceful, strategic movements can achieve lasting change Violence is not the answer— it only plays into authoritarian hands

California to Sue Trump Over National Guard Deployment in Los Angeles. Lawsuit will seek to set aside president’s order calling up troops in response to protests over the weekend #DictatorTrump www.wsj.com/us-news/cali...

Gavin Newsom on fire: "Come after me. Arrest me." We won't be intimidated by Trump's troops. We'll keep protesting, keep fighting, and defend our right to dissent against this oppressive administration! This isn't N. Korea. We still have #FreedomToDissent

ACTION CALL: I’m calling from [zip code] and I want [legislator] to find out who shot the Australian journalist in the back with a rubber bullet. They must be arrested and charged with assault. This was shameful. Who is my rep./sen.?: (www.usa.gov/elected-offi...) www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrFJ...

ACTION CALL: Tell your senators, Governor Newsom and Attorney General Rob Bonta to pull out all the stops at their disposal to protect Californians' right to peacefully protest. Scripts provided, or use your own. (indivisibleventura.org/2025/06/07/t...)

📌 Detention without due process is KIDNAPPING! It's time to STOP these abuses of power! End the 🧊 Raids and free SEIU California union leader, David Huerta. If it can happen to David, it can happen to any of us! #FreeDavidEndRaids

@jesscraven101.bsky.social is in downtown LA at 2:20 PM on June 9. She just heard that the felon is sending in the Marines. They are literally listening to mariachi music and dancing. There is no crisis No violence. Kids. Dogs. Families. People in red states you are being lied to. #NoKings

🧐 Here is a look at the "riots" in LA ... "Who's got the power? People Power." #FreedomToDissent Use this toolkit to fight back against Trump's fascist power grab ➡️ social.demcast.com/toolkit/free...

😱 Leon & the felon are breaking up! 🤬 The felon has literally set his rabid dogs on the American people. FOCUS ‼️Everything that he is doing is to distract you from his dismantling of constitutional government functioning. #Resist - 📱 your Senators (202) 224-3121!

Charleston NO KINGS Rally Scheduled for June 15 holycitysinner.com/politics/cha...

WATCH as Public Citizen lays out EXACTLY what's going on. And now Trump is sending 700 Marines to LA. This isn't an attempt to protect Americans. It's an attempt to intimidate them. This isn’t leadership — it’s authoritarianism in action. #FreedomToDissent

Not all heroes wear capes. Here’s a real life American Hero... not hiding behind a mask. Get involved in the peaceful protest occurring on June 14. Go to nokings.org & find an event near you.

We will not be silenced. We will not back down. #FreeDavidEndRaids Find an event near you and SHOW UP for justice! social.demcast.com/s/oHvI9b1R

🛑 STOP The Abuses of Power! Workers gather, coast to coast, in their demands to end the ICE raids and FREE David Huerta! #FreeDavidEndRaids

WE WON'T BACK DOWN. FREE DAVID HUERTA! END THE RAIDS! #FreeDavidEndRaids

We know Yam Tits is also trying to destroying democracy. You know what's ALSO really bad? His #BigBullshitBill, still struggling to get passed in the Senate. RESIST RESIST RESIST RESIST!!!!!!!! We're Democrats! We can multitask!!!

It doesn’t matter your politics or your party. Threatening to arrest a sitting U.S. governor is a line we cannot cross. It’s un-American—and every freedom-loving person should say so.

Spitting is bad but shitting on the walls, on desks, and in hallways at the Capital on January 6th is acceptable.

They’re FUNDING ICE 👨‍✈️ ☠️ 🚔 … …to do MASS DEPORTATIONS in YOUR CITY 🏙️ We need to KILL THIS BILL 💸 💣 www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

🧵Going north to Alaska! Lots of vacationers up in the 49th state in June. Support their No Kings events! Events in the bigger locales like Anchorage, Fairbanks & Juneau. But if you are in a different spot, here are a few suggestions. Ketchikan, Sitka, Haines in the panhandle, Valdez on the mainland

This campaign is about showing up. We’ve been to 12 counties so far and we’re just getting started. Stay tuned for updates on our upcoming travel 👀.

Get these FASCISTS 👨‍✈️ ☠️ 🚔 out of LA.

The regime is hungry for news clips to discredit our righteous dissent, silence our voices, & "prove" the need to militarize our streets. We cannot play into their traps - and we WON'T give in to their fear tactics! Keep showing up to peacefully assemble & demand Constitutional rule! nokings.org

As Trump continues his attack on immigrants and those who stand with them, we should all remember that a few days ago, Chancellor Friedrich Merz presented the white supremacist in the White House with his German-immigrant grandfather’s birth certificate as a gift.

I love this idea from another post. What do you think? Protestors should dress in patriotic colors and themes, so that if they do attack us, it's clear WHO they're attacking —Not enemies of the state but Americans who believe in the constitution.

Trump and his Project 2025 cronies are targeting the LGBTQ community with attacks on Medicaid, Medicare & Affordable Care -- it's intentional They've also cut funding for HIV testing & prevention And shuttered #LGBTQ suicide percent hotlines The More You Know 🌈✨ #Pride2025 #MedicaidCutsWillKill

Hegseth Tries to Camouflage His Incompetence by Renaming Navy Ships. Instead, He Confims It. #ABlueView🧵1/2

Trump is the least veteran friendly President in the history of our nation. 👑 Pass it along to someone off Bsky who doesn't follow the news. 👑 Call your legislators. You can call any hour on any day. ➡️ (202) 224-3121 ⬅️ 👑 Show up 6/14 for a NO KINGS protest ➡️ www.nokings.org ⬅️

I stand with California and Governor Gavin Newsom. There is no riot. There is no emergency. The National Guard needs to be recalled — now. 🚨 NEW: California is suing the Trump administration for illegally deploying the state’s National Guard.

🚨 Reminder: Our monthly member meeting is this week! It’s going to be a fun one to join! In addition to some special guests, we will be celebrating our chair, Jeremy, as he turns 32! If you are able to, bring some canned goods (3 of one kind, 2 of another) or donate $32 to YDofCM so we can

The show of unnecessary force in #LA conveniently distracts 🇺🇸 from the scariest headliner: The regime's trying to pass an unpopular bill that will negatively "transform our economy & ruin a lot of lives!" Our to-do 🗒️: 1. KEEP peacefully protesting 2. KEEP 📞 our Senators @chrismurphyct.bsky.social

If you are attending a #NoKings rally/march on Saturday, consider bringing an American flag! We need to make this clear: we are Americans and we will not abide a wannabe king MAGA doesn't own our flag

66 years ago today, in 1959, families from the neighborhoods of Palo Verde, La Loma and Bishop were violently evicted from their homes, a place now mislabeled Chavez Ravine, erasing the true names and legacies of these communities. Yet we still exist!! We’re not going anywhere!!

Lev was once part of the MAGAverse. He knows what he's talking about. #PeacefulProtest #NoKings #June14 levremembers.substack.com/p/trumps-mil...

NIH scientists go public to denounce Trump’s deep cuts in health research. Scores of National Institutes of Health researchers and staffers sign letter criticizing agency policies: ‘We dissent.’ www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Trump’s EP to claim power-plant emissions ‘not significant’ – but study says otherwise. US power sector would be world’s sixth largest emitter of planet-heating greenhouse gas if it were a country. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The Felon used this section (12406) of Title 10 under US Law to justify use of National Guard. It says "Orders for these purposes shall be issued through the governors of the States". Surprise - he is violating the LAW he claimed as justification. uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?r...
