Breaking With Trump, Bacon Says He Won’t Follow His Party ‘Off the Cliff’ www.nytimes.com/2025/06/08/u...

immigrants in L.A go on strike, L.A will SHUT DOWN. L.A shuts down - the ports, the factories, the food processing, the building, the creative industries- California shuts down. California shuts down, the U.S economy grinds to a halt. SO MUCH POWER is in the hands of the immigrant community of L.A.

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...

We’re gonna see a lot of state power that is supposed to be deployed against Black people and white people who ally with Black people be deployed with very few negroes in sight and I am, I confess, genuinely curious what that does to American politics.

LAPD fired rubber bullets at Australian journalist @laurentomasi.bsky.social

Something that I think is becoming a consistent of this administration is that they don't understand that resources, personnel, etc. are limited. It's the shock and awe strategy from earlier, where now their DOJ is completely bogged down and morale is shit because they're getting sued everywhere

There is a reason the 14th Amendment disqualifies anyone who swears an oath to support the Constitution but then engages in insurrection from holding public office.

I’m so sick of this lying fuck

I knew that we could count on the PEOPLE. Seeing the powerful & peaceful masses in LA protesting UNCONSTITUTIONAL ICE raids was a comfort. Thank you! I honor you all.

Then why show a photo of Gavin Newsom the governor of California?

This needs more attention. He is an American citizen as far as I know and he’s still locked up by the fascist

Project 2025, page 255 outlined exactly this.

ICE causing fires from their own tear gas and flash grenades, don’t get it twisted. They’re the ones causing damages to cities.

Every accusation is a confession.

Ah yes, send armed militants to attack your own citizens. That will surely get your country to respect you.

Just want to shout out the reporters and photojournalists of the @latimes.com. They have a shitty owner, and as a result there are far fewer of them than a few years before, but on this story, as with the fires, they are giving it their all.

“Tasted a little tear gas— tasted like fascism”

This is what we get with Felon47! It’s only only 4 months, but… * Inflation * kidnapping * riots * fear * Federal lawlessness Who voted voted for this horror for our Country !!

How y'all angry now... That man let 800,000+ people die of Covid complications. Like that wasn't enough to keep y'all from reelecting him in 2024?!!!

“Anyone”

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

One apparent reason why GOP legislators are getting cold feet about proof of citizenship laws for voter registration: They’re worried about disenfranchising their own voters, advocates say. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

You all are incredible. You’ve been collecting videos, photos, and detailed notes piecing together exactly what happened. The narrative this administration tried to push? You dismantled it in hours.

Calling in either the police or the military to back up ICE is weird because ICE is mostly staffed with guys who were (correctly) rejected by both the police and the military.

Do NOT obey unethical orders. Do NOT obey illegal orders. Do NOT fall into the pit of Sadism.

🇺🇲🤬 You're a nothing Hegseth! You're just a shady, rascist pimple on Trumps ass! Remember this Pete Hegseth, Trump will throw you under the bus in a heartbeat if it serves him! You are just his puppet & this makes you a weak, little prick!

"This Week in Democracy – Week 20: Travel Ban, Cuts, and Setbacks as Trump and Musk Feud" Read and support Zeteo's project to document the ongoing, week-by-week growth of authoritarianism in the Trump second term.

True story…

Trump nearly falls flat on his face while struggling to walk up the steps to Air Force One today

That fall popped all his neck rolls out and everything. Tough day.

He has 500 marines prepared to deploy to LA. He’s fucking crazy.

Bernie Sanders: "We have a president who is moving this country rapidly toward authoritarianism...to a large degree the future of this country rests with a small number of Republicans in the House & Senate who know better, who do know what the Constitution is about, and it's high time they stood up"

Deploying the National Guard—over the objections of state leaders and local law enforcement—is a dangerous escalation. This isn’t about enforcing law and order, it’s about seizing power and control. Americans won’t tolerate this slide into authoritarianism.

Want to contact ICE in LA?

Please. Get rid of the Orange Scourge.

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple.

I never do because Trump is the perfect example. That and never vote for someone Xxor Facebook tell you to🇱🇷

If you are National Guard or Active Duty military and you are being ordered to violate the Constitutional rights of US citizens then this is the number to the Gl Rights Hotline. There is support, you don't have to go through with it. tel: 877-447-4487 Via @lascanner.bsky.social

Hegseth should be court martial immediately for disobeying our constitutional mandate that troops never be used for protest violent or not🇱🇷

99% are always peaceful protesters it’s the 1% anarchistic that make a peaceful protest into something completely else.

The demonstrators in Los Angeles are heroes. Full stop.

Did you know that when Pam Bondi said "We presented El Salvador with an arrest warrant and they agreed to return him," she was admitting she failed to follow the extradition process, proving he could have been returned at any time? My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/abrego-gar...
