This is all a pretext. Everything they do is in furtherance of their authoritarian agenda.

Hello. I live in Los Angeles. The president is lying.

JULIETTE KAYYEM: “Active duty Marines for this, Hegseth? I mean, we were just reporting on it. There's music. The traffic is moving. Most people in L.A. probably don't even know this is going on.”

We always knew where this was going

Humm, brown with a tat?😡 www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Rand Paul: "If they're asking to borrow $5 trillion, that is the example -- $5 trillion in borrowing means they are not restraining spending. That's the ultimate summation of all these numbers."

From a week and a half ago: “As of Monday, the model shows, about 96,000 adults and 200,000 children have died because of the administration’s cutbacks to funding for aid groups and support organizations. The overall death count grows by 103 people an hour.” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

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.

I went to Paramount yesterday and this is what I saw. They want to terrorize us into silence before the general public realizes who the actual bad guys are.

"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/...

Rep. Newhouse and Rep. Baumgartner voted to rip away healthcare from thousands in Eastern Washington, including the 70% of kids on Apple Health in CD4. ❌ Fewer doctors ❌ Closed clinics and hospitals ❌ Higher costs for working families They sold us out.

Fox keeps proving there’s still more stupidity to come.

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!!!

All we want is healthcare.

ICE crossed a line in LA

Trying to hide this on a Saturday night - SCOTUS just gave up all personal sensitive data. We’re fucked. apple.news/AWrADfXffR0K...

I know we’re all talking about the boys fighting but we can lose sight of what’s ACTUALLY happening right now… act.link/gi-evelm

81 years ago, America's bravest generation stormed the beaches of Normandy in hopes of freeing Europe from the clutches of a brutal authoritarian. Today, we face authoritarianism on our shores. We owe it to ourselves, our country, and that great generation to fight for freedom here at home.

Commentary: "Trump’s betrayal of the veterans community is unforgivable. But it is not unanswerable. We are answering. In protest. In court. In the media. At the ballot box." Today, June 6 — D-Day — thousands will rally across the country to protest.

Four percent of the sand on Normandy beaches is shrapnel that has been broken down over the decades into sand-sized chunks. See the smooth sphere? That's shrapnel, sanded down to a smooth, microscopic ball. #WW2 #HISTORY

Big shout out to the 30M who couldn’t bother to show up in Nov… This country had the best economy and was the envy of the world instead of reeling head first towards a recession… So F**k you! European Central Bank trims interest rates after inflation dips below target www.cnbc.com/2025/06/05/e...

PRIDE MONTH DOUBLE RAINBOW IN CHICAGO HOLY SHIT

🚨 Trump is creating a centralized database of ALL Americans' sensitive, personal data. 🚨Why should you care? This is not only an EXTREMELY dangerous precedent, but it would also make ALL of our personal data a prime target for our foreign adversaries. I sounded the alarm during E&C. Watch below ⬇️

For the life of me I cannot figure out why Donald Trump is trying to destroy higher education

BREAKING: Judge Boasberg GRANTS class certification for the people held at CECOT and gives the government ONE WEEK to explain how they're going to facilitate due process for EVERYONE sent there under the Alien Enemies Act. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Oklahoma, we have got to get rid of these people. I'm tired of being embarrassed.

Say Goodbye to Your Data & Privacy, Say Hello to Palantir & the Mass Surveillance State Billionaire Peter Thiel's company Palantir has received millions from the Trump Regime to compile data on Americans, which will be abused for mass surveillance & profit. thelefthook.substack.com/p/say-goodby...

BREAKING: Chief Judge James Boasberg finds that those people sent to CECOT under the Alien Enemies Act on March 15-16 had their due process rights violates and certifies them as a class. He orders that the government "facilitate" the ability for them to seek habeas relief.

The budget bill in the Senate right now is a nightmare for the American People. Join me and Senator Elizabeth Warren as we discuss. FULL INTERVIEW LINK HERE—> youtu.be/97vTaGGFOIg

"If you need to update Social Security about a move or bank account change, it could take longer than usual... "Changes like these may take longer, and thousands of Americans could see delays or even stopped checks in the meantime, employees warned USA TODAY..." www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

"A national network that pledges to coordinate, mobilize, and support one another when any single institution comes under attack..." www.standtogetherhighered.org

Always is.

Yikes! 🤢 Trump’s Bedminster golf club recently got slapped with 18 health violations and the lowest health grade in the entire county — scoring a 32 out of 100. Critical food safety risks, no soap at sinks, a household microwave in the kitchen, and more. 🔗 www.thedailybeast.com/president-do...

"At about 15 minutes past the hour every hour all afternoon, teams of agents, many of them masked, left the building escorting four people, each in handcuffs, into parked SUVs that then quickly zipped across the street to the garage of 26 Federal Plaza, where ICE has its local field office."

I can’t speak for anyone else, but this analogy of “Lady Liberty’ held captive, is exactly how I feel about this presidency & administration and what their attempting to do with our rights and freedoms… The New Yorker captured the feelings perfectly… One word, UNACCEPTABLE!

The waste, fraud and abuse call is coming from inside the house.

Really? This is what MAGA cares about?
