#ProudBlue #ResistanceUnited #Pinks You don’t have to change who you are or try to fit into a mold created by others. Stay true to yourself.

This photo. ICE is a gang.

Kat Capossela, Brad Lander’s press secretary, told NBC News in an email that “Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE,” a reference to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency after “escorting a defendant out of immigration court.” nbcnews.to/4n7lxFF

They're coming for our leaders, or anyone that disagrees with them apnews.com/article/brad...

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but: You can simultaneously oppose a regime-change war unilaterally initiated by Israel against Iran AND decry the oppressive theocratic regime in Iran whose proxies have harmed many.

Trump: We all know the Prime Minister of the UK and we just signed a document...we have our trade agreement with the European Union." Fact check: The UK is NOT part of the EU.

PUTIN WAS KICKED OUT OF G8 in 2014 WHEN HE ANNEXED CRIMEA. TRUDEAU WAS ELECTED IN 2015. THANK YOU FOR THE ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

#TrumpParadeFail REPOST: Spread it all over the internet !!

Wow! See the difference? Thank you for your service.

@vancityreynolds.bsky.social I am loving #Underdogs ! Great narrative as well, definitely funny but with great info as well

Even the Russians are mocking Trump’s disaster of a parade. This one’s going to sting.🤣

I honestly feel bad for the troops today. They didn’t ask to be used as political props to boost one man’s ego on his birthday. They had managed to acknowledge the Army’s birthday just fine every year without this expensive boondoggle that is poorly attended downtown.

O.M.G. Check out this footage of the Trump military parade in DC. The empty bleachers. The squeaking wheels. What an embarrassment for Donald Trump. (video via Elizabeth Landers of the Scripps News service over on X)

It's amusing the contrast the ENORMOUS crowds that showed up today to protest *against* Donald Trump and the paltry turnout to celebrate him tonight. How humiliating. Maybe there is hope for the country.

Millions march across America to demand #NoKings. Meanwhile, a one person deep line assembles to watch Trump's birthday parade in Washington DC. Ben & Jerry’s Free Cone Day generates more enthusiasm than this pathetic show.

I had time today in Mississippi. Mic on. Message clear.

Bertram #NoKings, small town in Red Texas, about 50 from a town of 1000! @maddow.msnbc.com @mcuban.bsky.social @markhamillofficial.bsky.social

It is bizarre the way people with guns, bulletproof vests, riot shields, tanks, and other military gear act like rocks are an equal threat. It’s madness! If you are scared of rocks and think the punishment for having them thrown at you should be death, you shouldn’t be in law enforcement!

“Tesla’s driverless ‘robotaxis’ could launch in Austin as soon as June 22. But a demo in Austin today showed a $TSLA, manually driven to test its Full Self-Driving system, failed to stop for a child-sized dummy at a school bus—and hit it.” @cbsaustin @velez_tx

Angus: Canada can no longer view the United States as an ally. We know that Donald Trump doesn’t believe in liberal democracy—he doesn’t believe in the rule of law. Prime Minister Carney is not welcoming the leader of the free world to Canada. He is welcoming Vladimir Putin’s sock puppet.

BREAKING: A few minutes ago, a vehicle of three people was rammed by a truck belonging to federal immigration authorities in Boyle Heights, CA. According to security footage shown to me, they deployed chemical munitions & detained the driver at gunpoint. All are US citizens according to the wife.

This is the way! Smart protesting. Don't give them what they want. Don't give them what they NEED!!!!

We each do what we can with what we have! #MomSky #NoKings

Maddow: I also feel like there’s not very much about that that I don’t understand. Like, it’s the same everywhere. This is blond Berlusconi, you know what I mean? This is inarticulate Viktor Orbán, right? These guys are all the same. The authoritarian playbook is the same everywhere

We need more members of Congress, a co-equal branch of government, speaking out against Trump's intentional escalation of the situation in LA. Tell Congress to speak out and oppose Trump's fascist use of the National Guard here: bit.ly/449vUkP #ResistTrump

California Governor Gavin Newsom’s office posts a video of Emperor Palpatine reciting Donald Trump’s Truth Social post about L.A. via @swholocron.bsky.social

BREAKING: California Governor Gavin Newsom delivers a 'major address' in response to the Trump admin.'s actions in L.A. "Authoritarian regimes begin by targeting people who are least able to defend themselves, but they do not stop there," Newsom said.

This is the protest that Trump has sent the flippin Marines to break up. Outrageous! Thanks to @jesscraven101.bsky.social for the video.

All we want is healthcare.

This is awesome. But also LA boasts literally MILLIONS of hot people who have been training for years to deliver stirring monologues for the cause of justice! Deploy, auditioners!!

Rob is a 21YR Marine Corps Infantry Combat Veteran who served at Camp Pendleton for 9 years. He's speaking out against Hegseth's ridiculous threat to deploy Marines in Los Angeles.

for context here’s a map of greater Los Angeles and the protest is the roughly the red circle

When asked if the United States should have a military parade to show off its might, President Eisenhower would respond: “Absolutely not. We are the pre-eminent power on Earth. For us to try and imitate what the Soviets are doing in Red Square would make us look weak.”

Thoughts and prayers to America's Gestapo, cowering in fear in the face of such violent [checks notes] . . . ur, dancing in the streets.

Joined LAPD, LASD, and state emergency officials in LA as we respond to protests provoked by chaos from Washington. We’re here to keep the peace — not play into Trump’s political games.
