This is unjust, unnecessary and heartbreaking. Shame on Butler County sheriff for their predictable cruelty and kneeling to fascism. #FreeEmerson www.cincinnati.com/story/news/2...

Investigations are now underway into officers and ICE agents who fired crowd-control munitions at dangerously close range. In case after case, the situation only escalated when force was used against peaceful protesters.

An American Hero ✊🏼

Would love it if soccer media @mattdoyle.bsky.social @tombogert.bsky.social @cboehm.bsky.social would give a boost about this one. #FreeEmerson

Hi, I’m God. I’m going to make it rain on his big stupid parade. #NoKings

Power. Nothing but saving their own a$$.

MURRAY: I want to know what's the total number of employees who left the agency as a result of the administration's personnel actions? BHATTACHARYA: We'll get those numbers MURRAY: I told you I was gonna ask for this. How come you don't have it? B: My misunderstanding M: I was being very clear

Today Speaker, Mike Johnson called for vigilante violence against California Governor Gavin Newsom.

#Cincinnati time to step up and make your voices heard. Is this who you are? www.cincinnati.com/story/opinio...

Remember: Protests and American citizens are being targeted because SOMEBODY doesn't want to go to jail for his crimes against the state and well documented pedophilia. Those who put him in office are complicit.

So it begins. Discussions are underway within the administration, and Pentagon, about deploying National Guard or active-duty troops to cities beyond Los Angeles. We’ll be sending updated guidance to all coalition members. Please follow every step, even if some sections seem irrelevant right now.

#Fascism101

America has never been broke. It’s just violently anti-poor. Troops in LA cost $134M β€” the price of 44 million school lunches. But sure, let’s keep pretending the issue is lazy parents and not a government that eats kids for breakfast.

Every major Dem politician needs to realize that, in this environment, they can schedule a "speech to the nation," like Newsom did, and get tons of media coverage. Just do it.

So now this fucking Nazi is in charge of our health care he really is the acting President. Eugenicist-in-chief

Watched this on repeat today, everyone should see this. πŸ”₯

Butler County Democratic Party's event, β€œNo Kings Protest” - sign up below! www.mobilize.us/butlercounty...

Sending out a a HUGE thank you to everyone who showed up (on short notice) to protest ICE last night at the Butler Co. Jail. Your voices, signs, and presence showed true solidarity with our immigrant neighbors. πŸ’™

The reason ICE is in such a hurry to deport Emerson is that he has a pending U visa. A path to lawful status. He was the victim of a crime, reported it, and is assisting in the pursuit of justice. They don’t want anyone to stay here legally. Even crime victims. Even kids. Sick. #FreeEmerson

#FreeEmerson www.wcpo.com/news/local-n...

It's not about the kids. It's not about patriotism. It's not about responsibility. It's not about individual rights. It's about power. It's about money. It's about fear. It's about guilt. It's about control. It will only work if you do nothing. #NoKingsDay

Fuck Uber.

Location change. Leave it empty.

For anyone looking for a good follow-up protest today:

Little Victories - 09Jun2025

Curious why none of this is happening in Texas, or Arizona, or Florida or any other red state overrun with non-citizens taking good ol' 'Merican jobs...

For those unfamiliar, LAPD on horseback also ran over protesters during the 2000 DNC. Clip ends with LAPD spokesman Cmdr. David Kalish blaming reporter for being run over by motorcycle cops... on. the. sidewalk. It's been like this in Los Angeles for 25 years. I keep archives. Video by Don Souza.

Law enforcement is violently targeting press at protests around Los Angeles, from easily recognizable "mainstream" outlets to freelancers and independents. ALL press have explicit legal protections in California. #JournalismIsNotACrime. This evidence thread may get graphic. πŸ§΅πŸ‘‡

Dozens of journalists were assaulted by law enforcement in Los Angeles this weekend. The press were just doing their job -- a sacred one explicitly protected by law. Press rights orgs will follow up collectively tomorrow. Tonight, I emailed evidence to local/state/federal officials. My sign off:

Ahead of No Kings Day, a couple trainings we have coming up that might be useful: Safety and Deescalation: www.mobilize.us/nokings/even... Know Your Rights (w/ACLU): act.aclu.org/a/2025-kyr-t...
