20-year-old U.S. citizen Adrian Andrew Martinez was swarmed by ICE in Pico Rivera while defending someone. He never hit back—just struggled—before being slammed into a CBP van. No records. No lawyer. His mom can’t find him. This is abuse of power. Keep recording. Don’t stop.

The Atlantic should be ashamed of publishing this nightmare piece from Liz Bruenig, whose callous dismissal of Adriana Smith's dignity is one of the most shocking things I've ever read.

The @theatlantic.com is a mishmash of great journalism and then the most dehumanizing shit: about women, about trans people, about Palestinian lives. They think it's edgy or counterintuitive and say, "Let's buck conventional wisdom and argue that some people's lives are just worth less than others."

i know to be on the left is to be cursed with memory but i am simply going cuckoo nutso bananas lately every time i see a poll with cuomo, who despite everything else quite obviously does not even LIKE new york city, in the lead. we're fully living in the post-fact world now baby!!!

A federal judge has overturned the NIH’s termination of hundreds of vital research grants that were cut due to their focus on topics like diversity, equity, inclusion, and gender identity. A glimmer of sanity in a pile of political nonsense — and a win for science, equity, and public health.

Alaska's historic heat advisory is a serious warning for a state where most people don’t have the coping mechanisms taken for granted elsewhere—shaded porches, central air, even knowing the signs of heatstroke.

I haven’t seen nearly enough people talking about this. The levels of greed and inhumane thinking on display is actually terrifying. America really is dystopian as fuck.

It's encouraging to see that the ETA's analysis is helping to equip independent journalists and writers to investigate the truth. Thank you to Dissent in Bloom for sharing our work and digging deeper to connect more dots. Read the full article here: buff.ly/viI8WgR #VerifyTheVote #TruthMatters

WATCH: Fired Ex-ABC journalist Terry Moran stands ten toes down on what he said about Stephen Miller’s hateful heart🖤when talking to @thebulwark.com’s @timmiller.bsky.social (no relation) Be truthful not neutral is our motto too, Terry 👊🏼 Full: terrymoran.substack.com/p/live-inter...

Schiff: "In the first administration, there were at least a few people in the cabinet of some independence who could say, 'No, Mr. President, that's a lawless idea, that's a stupid idea.' But there's no one in this current admin to tell POTUS 'that's a stupid idea'... there's nothing but sycophants"

No kings wanted or allowd.

SO proud of our small city!! Florence, Alabama!! #NoKings #NoKingsDay @indivisible.org @50501movement.bsky.social @maddow.msnbc.com

WE HAVE QUESTIONS… This is a kidnapping. No uniform, no badge, civilian car. Who are they? ICE? Sanctioned bounty hunters? Either way, they’re grabbing people without warrants. How often is this happening, and why aren’t more people talking about it? Congress?

MSNBC reporter in gas mask in Los Angeles: I think it was Sheriffs deploying CS gas, tear gas, pepper spray, and flash bang grenades in large numbers. Mounted units pushing against protesters.., every single gathering I saw today was 100% peaceful

Holy shit, New York! Here’s the full view. #NoKings #50501Movement

Reporter: I'm going to show you what 20,000 people in the streets of downtown Los Angeles looks like

If you really want to support them you should drive around Iran

far be it for me to claim to have improved on fine art but i did my best

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.

how many american citizens are living in poverty?

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

This is incredibly problematic because it’s the first step towards also going after protest medics and jail support teams. Giving people masks when cops are launching tear gas every night is not a crime, it’s common sense protection.

Newsom: "This is what he does. He creates a problem and then he tries to be a hero in his own Marvel movie ... he initiated those raids. He significantly increased the scale and scope of those raids. That's why he wants the National Guard."

clip from the AP live stream of Padilla's remarks... "If this is how the Department of Homeland Security responds to a senator with a question, you can only imagine what they're doing to farm workers, to cooks, to day laborers... We will hold this administration accountable."

Al Gore tells it like it is.

“You see plenty of elected officials getting into it with each other. You do not see the FBI or secret service dragging their colleagues to the floor and cuffing them…It is the ethos of this administration to treat people not as colleagues, but enemies." - @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social

ep. Lynch: “Deploying the military against a civilian population is wrong. And if we don’t step up, this will continue…I’m proud of my Democratic colleagues who are willing to stand up to this thuggery.”

SEN. PADILLA: “Saying I lunged is a lie, but that’s par for the course for this administration… I was behind the cameras listening, and at a certain point hearing Noem say they had to rescue LA from the Governor and Mayor was too much to take. So I raise my voice to ask a question.”

NEWSOM: "It's a vulgar display. It's the kind of thing you see with Kim Jong Un, Putin, dictators that are weak… How weak do you have to be to commandeer the military for your birthday?“

Today they have crossed a deep red line. We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

Men are pretending to be ICE to abduct women as if this wasn't the most predictable thing to come out of allowing masked goons with no ID to snatch people off the streets.

Gov. Pritzker: “It's wrong to deploy the National Guard and active duty Marines into an American city over the objection of local law enforcement, just to inflame a situation and create a crisis.”

free speech where?

PAY ATTENTION: They didn’t just erase our history. They criminalized it. Now they’re banning every page that tells the truth. But we remember. And we wrote it down.

"[Troops] 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 do not want to join." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

On an Ice Raid in LA!

Crockett: I know that there’s been some conversations about what’s going on in LA and they want to say that it’s riots because they didn’t want people to keep talking about the Epstein files

Just miles from your doorstep, hundreds of men are given weapons and trained to kill. The government calls it the Army, but a more alarmist name would be… The Kill-Bot Factory!
