I know data. What controls are used in handling this data? The cascading effects of this incompetent, conspiratorial & lawless administration has irreparably harmed our nation. I don’t have the words to express how bad this is and the precedence it sets. www.cmadocs.org/newsroom/new...

@padilla.senate.gov: "Imagine what they are doing to a lot of folks who may not feel free to speak up... and there's not cameras there to capture how they may or may not be treated. That's the big takeaway. This should be a wake up call for everybody across the country."

The American government will protect you from imaginary enemies while they watch you die from no health care, no affordable housing and no reproductive freedoms—while you work 50 hrs a week, at $7.25/hr, to survive a 40yr high inflation, as you witness a genocide, on a planet that’s burning. #1!

“OMG they’re rioting in L.A.!!” Meanwhile, in the beautiful landscape that is Nuestra Señora de Los Angeles. 💙

@governorwalz.mn.gov: "The road to authoritarianism is littered with people telling you you're overreacting."

House Democrats need to bring articles of impeachment against Kristi Noem, while Senate Democrats need to bring that chamber to a fucking halt.

NEW VIDEO: As Trump sends in troops to Los Angeles and threatens Democratic representatives, California Rep. Eric Swalwell joins me to discuss how we got to this moment and what we can do to combat the administration’s takeover of our democracy. youtube.com/watch?v=T2_k...

This ICE agent tells an immigration attorney of her three clients: "I'm not picky so I'm giving you the options cause I have to take one. If not I'll take all." He is quite literally saying that ICE is simply deporting people at random to meet a quota. www.instagram.com/reel/DKzbcQe...

"In a previously unreported development, federal agents came to suspect that Bukele and members of his inner circle had diverted US aid funds to the gang." Read the whole investigation, republished from @propublica.org ⬇️

If it really fostered bipartisanship, everyone who played in the congressional baseball game would release a joint statement condemning what happened today to the senator from California.

De-escalation tips from @indivisible.org

"The HHS document says that another paper it cites found 'an increase in placental blood clotting in pregnant mothers who took the vaccine.' But the paper doesn't contain any reference to placental blood clots or to pregnant women." www.npr.org/2025/06/13/n...

<thread> On the left: June 12, Judge Breyer writing that THE test for whether the US Marines/Guard violate Posse Comitatus will be whether they've engaged in "detaining" civilians. On the right: June 13: See for yourself. Note: The DoD has confirmed the detention of civilian to Reuters.

The purge of the federal vaccine recommending committee goes even deeper than the public knows @lenasun.bsky.social & @laurenweberhp.bsky.social have new reporting on the chaos inside the CDC and the backgrounds of the new vaccine advisers wapo.st/3SROTKy

Remember, when you’re sending your kids off to fight another war, they could’ve arrested Netanyahu the moment he stepped on US soil.

On 6/12, DHS Sec’y Kristi Noem said “We are staying here to liberate [LA] from the socialists and the burdensome leadership this governor and mayor have placed on this country and this city.” This use of military force to displace a democratically elected is the very definition of a coup.

The “Big Beautiful Bill” incudes a retroactive provision limiting federal judges' enforcement of contempt orders. That tips the balance of powers & erodes our Constitutional system of checks and balances. Tell the Senate to vote NO! on enforcement restrictions. @lwvus.bsky.social @lwvva.bsky.social

What a GREAT #ThrowbackThursday

This weekend, we #TakeOurStand to #SaveThisPlanet and SAVE DEMOCRACY #BlueEarth #OV1

Sneak peak at all of America tomorrow for “No Kings Day” 🍊🦅🇺🇸

Looking at the birds in my backyard and hearing them chirp. Feels normal. Then I realize we’re living in complete chaos and have devolved into fascism and a police state is being unleashed as the U.S. military is being used against U.S. citizens. Please don’t stop rising up to squelch this evil.

Seeing several people/local groups in Silver Lake and Echo Park report ICE is either on site or set to do raids on Friday, 6/13, agents dressed as construction workers.

Senator Alex Padilla is one of the most decent people I know. This is outrageous, dictatorial, and shameful. Trump and his shock troops are out of control. This must end now.

Are we really fucking doing this. Had nothing happened to Senator Padilla at all, what she was describing is a federal takeover of a major city by military force with no specified end-date, with no legal authority. Do not let the fascists talk their way out of that.

This, y'all. 👇

California national guard troops and marines deployed to LA to help restore order have told friends and family members they are deeply unhappy about the assignment and worry their only meaningful role will be as pawns in a political battle they don't want to join. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I asked Secretary Hegseth some military 101 questions. He flunked. America’s service members deserve better than this pop quiz dropout.

RFK Jr now going after ALL vaccines. He argues that the Covid vaccine (which he’s restricted) was the only one that had proper safety testing. He says they “dysregulate the immune system”. Get your boosters. He’s setting the stage for “natural immunity” where only “the strong survive” Eugenics.

So THAT'S how she got Ga's Hispanic vote!

Los Angeles is OCCUPIED

Agree on both points. 1) States control most criminal prosecutions. Calif state charges for physical assault OF A US SENATOR in state's biggest city. 2) Dems in US Senate need to stand up on this one. This didn't happen even in days Faubus/Wallace/Maddox/Bull Conner resisted fed authority in 60s

🚨The kids in larchmont are doing rage songs🚨

Well, I forgot my roommate from my summer 2012 apartment sublet in D.C. is now the Secretary of the Army, until tonight, when he told Fox News there is a troop on the moon

We’ve uncovered fraud, waste, and abuse! ICE has now exceeded its congressionally approved budget. ICE is violating the Antideficiency Act by spending beyond Congressional authorization.

If that’s what they do to a United States Senator with a question, imagine what they can do to any American that dares to speak up. We will hold this administration accountable.

U.S. diplomats in Tel Aviv had to request assistance from the Marine Corps because so much of the local guard force had been activated by the IDF, per diplomatic cable leaked to me.

Another terrific scoop from @marisakabas.bsky.social www.thehandbasket.co/p/ice-warran...

There's no word to describe physically assaulting a US Senator for attending a press conference and asking a question other than authoritarianism.
