Don't let them lie to you about Senator Padilla. DHS is claiming the agents DID NOT KNOW he was a senator. He CLEARLY says (BEFORE he is tackled and cuffed) "I am Senator Alex Padilla and I have a question for the secretary."

Boebert: What we’re seeing in LA is an insurrection Pritzker: You don’t know understand what insurrection is. It is outrageous that you are asking that when you are the one condoning the pardoning of people that attacked police.

🤦🏼‍♀️

What happened to Senator Padilla is absolutely DISGUSTING. Point blank, period. This shit is out of control. Another elected official disrespected while doing their job. (1/2)

Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.

Please make sure you do the following as quickly as possible, especially if you are immunocompromised: 1. Get every vaccine you need 2. Buy some high-quality masks (KF94, KN95 or N95). These fools that Kennedy just appointed are going to cause the reemergence of vaccine-preventable disease.

According to the authoritarian wannabe dictator who deployed these men, “LA is burning”. It’s not. He's the one rubbing two sticks together to try start a fire. Don't believe the narrative. Remain clear-eyed and share the truth. 🌸🌺🌻 ❤️&🙏🏼 for LA This moment of ☮️ by 🎥 @saroal on TT

RFK Jr. has released the names of the first 8 members of his fraudulent ACIP committee. Retsef Levi is one of them. He has no education or training in any field related to epidemiology, immunology or similar. He has a degree in Operations Research and is unqualified to serve on ACIP.

No, RFK Jr., sacking the best public health experts in America won’t ensure “the safest possible vaccines.” It will only make America sicker.

Seeing RFK Jr.’s selections to replace the qualified scientists that he fired from ACIP, I very much doubt that the U.S. will have ready access to COVID19 and flu vaccines for 2025. And it could be even worse than that. Bill Cassidy is to blame for voting to confirm RFK Jr. He’s a disgrace.

Stop letting this asshole and his enablers ruin our lives and our country. What will be left of us and for us when they are done?

The Trump administration plans to get rid of all limits on climate-warming pollution from the nation's fossil fuel power plants. Fossil fuel interests hailed the proposal, which likely faces legal challenges from environmental groups.

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu announced Tuesday that she signed an executive order seeking greater transparency from federal immigration officials. She said the city will submit regular Freedom of Information Act requests to find out who ICE is detaining and on what grounds.

This took tremendous courage. 💙

Thou Shalt Not Fire Reporters for Standing Against Fascism.

I would love a drone footage of these troops guarding the federal buildings against no one. @dprzygoda.bsky.social know anyone?

Newsom: Police should police—not the military. That’s what happens in third-world countries, and that’s exactly what Donald Trump is trying to impose on the American people: a mindset of militarization, power, dominance, and control—not the rule of law. This is a very, very serious moment.

Texans are protesting peacefully, and Greg Abbott has the National Guard on standby. 
Because nothing scares him more than the people standing up and speaking out. Let me remind y’all: the right to peaceful protest is in the Constitution.

Yes yes yes

“Democracy is under assault right before our eyes,” Newsom warned. “The moment we’ve feared has arrived. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

This is on all the Senators who turned a blind eye and voted to confirm. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/09/h...

Here is a look at the "riots" in LA..... "Who's got the power? People Power." Peaceful. No National Guard or Marines needed. #FreedomToDissent

NYT: “If you saw all this in any other country — soldiers sent to crush dissent, union leaders arrested, opposition politicians threatened — it would be clear that autocracy had arrived.” 😳🇺🇸 www.nytimes.com/2025/06/09/o...

Jeffries: "We will not be lectured by Donald Trump and anyone in the Republican Party about issues of law and order ... he pardoned hundreds of violent felons, criminals, who brutally assaulted police officers and attacked the Capitol on January 6. That's what Donald Trump did on day one."

If MyPillowGuy Mike Lindell loses his election rigging defamation trial in Denver, this will be the day that did it. And the witness who sealed his fate? Himself.

I’m not sure why Gavin Newsome doesn’t activate the rest of his army guard to prevent the president from it or force him to overrule it…. Then fight on the second amendment guaranteeing a state a right to a militia. How can a state have a militia if the president can simply federalize it

Bass: If you want to go back in time, where was LA on Thursday? Fine, peaceful. Nothing was happening. The minute ICE rolled into town, that's when the chaos started and then add to that—bringing in federal troops.

We will not cower, even in the face of Trump’s militarized escalation. On Saturday, we are going to rise up all across the country in defiance of this administration’s authoritarian agenda. Join the nationwide peaceful protests for No Kings Day: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

PSA: If you think a guy standing on a vandalized Waymo car with a Mexican flag is a bigger issue than the president calling for the arrest of a governor for no reason, you may have lost the plot.

Where the Fuck is the United States Congress?

Fascism sucks. 🤬 The entire globe is under attack—rights rolled back, dissent punished, and state violence on the rise. It’s okay to be outraged. We should be. But don’t lose your grounding. Stick together. Take care of each other. Solidarity is our strength. Love y'all 🫶🏾

The President of the United States is advocating for arresting the duly-elected Governor of California for his SPEECH He thereafter admitted that the Governor of California had committed NO CRIME—but he still wants him arrested Spend as much time as you need processing what that means for America

WASHINGTON (AP) — Health secretary removes every member of scientific committee that advises the CDC on how vaccines should be used.

The folks hollering about “family values” are out here tearing families apart with unlawful ICE raids, militarized police, & the weaponization of government. All while ripping away food & healthcare from working-class families. Are the family values in the room with us?

Let this sink in. Even the Los Angeles Police Chief, Jim McDonnell, made it clear: the people protesting immigration raids were not the ones causing violence. During a Sunday evening press conference, McDonnell condemned the violence as “disgusting”

This is a pretty important point!

"In our federal system, the National Gov. possesses only limited powers; the States and the people retain the remainder. The States have broad authority to enact legislation for the public good—what we have often called a 'police power.' The Fed. Gov., by contrast, has no such authority."-SCOTUS '14

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