what federal agents did to a father of three Marines while he was cutting grass in Orange County on Sunday has happened in some form daily — and deliberately — all over Los Angeles for 18 days.

Know Your Rights Information🚨 ICE has been arresting people at immigration court and routine check-ins across the country. If you or a loved one is in this situation, know you still have rights.

Brownshirt ICE rolled up to my local Home Depot today and got the F-off treatment. Shoutout to this woman because this is exactly how it’s done. No badge, face covered = F*ck all the way off. 📌 It’s on us citizens to stand up for our vulnerable brothers and sisters.

Jeffries: "Not a scintilla of evidence to date has been presented that I have seen to justify the notion that there was an imminent threat to the United States of America. If the administration has evidence to the contrary, come up to present it."

"Insurance companies currently rely on ACIP’s guidance on which vaccines to cover. But if enough reputable public health groups come up with recommendations different from ACIP’s, Osterholm said, those groups could sway insurance companies on which shots to cover..." www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

We are posting this placard at all of our offices and asking our union contract farms to post as well. We encourage our friends to put up similar placards at their business as immigration agents do not have the right to go on private property without permission.

Marco Rubio needs to be asked whether he believes his grandfather who remained in the U.S. after receiving a deportation order from our govt should have been treated the way the father of 3 Marines was treated by ICE this weekend in California. ASK HIM. Make him confront his lack of character.

Trump regime ICE troopers attacked an elderly woman (legal resident) selling tamales, they manhandled her so violently that she fainted, then threw her on the ground and stripped her, she had to be hospitalized. She received medical help after US citizens intervened. #StopICE

In LA, we have the right to film law enforcement in public spaces, as long as we do not interfere. Arturo Hermosillo says he was arrested for doing exactly that. He was in his van when he saw an older woman, a local tamale vendor, lying on the ground during an immigration raid & started recording.

Magistrate judge denies government motion to detain Abrego Garcia. Pretty big deal after all that’s happened and a forceful opinion. Judge implicitly rejects much of government evidence, including for the criminal charges.

KTLA - Narciso Barranco, a father to three sons who are all US Marines, pepper-sprayed and punched in the face by alleged federal immigration officers while he was working as a landscaper at an IHOP. He was then forced into the back of an unmarked car in Santa Ana.

This. I’m so relieved my brother retired before he returned, but pray for those still serving

Disgusting

He just dropped $280,000,000 worth of artillery in a war that’s not ours, but our grandparents have to live on Ramen noodles because America can’t afford Meals on Wheels anymore. Make it make sense.

BRENNAN: Why would Iran agree to any peace deal if the US has already pulled out of one that they had, as President Trump did in 2018, and now launched surprise attacks? RUBIO: The ones that shouldn't be trusted are the Iranians

this is horrid. End ICE now.

Host: Are you saying the US did not see intelligence that the Supreme Leader had ordered weaponization? Rubio: That’s irrelevant Host: No, that's a key point Rubio: No it’s not… Forget about intelligence

No money for Medicaid or SNAP or museums or schools or sidewalks or gun violence prevention or art or libraries. Always money for war.

The American people were lied to about Vietnam, with tragic consequences. The American people were lied to about Iraq, with tragic consequences. The American people are being lied to again today. We cannot allow history to repeat itself.

Schiff: "The failure to brief Dem lawmakers, the making this just another partisan exercise by the administration when it comes to something as serious as the decision to potentially engage in warfare, it means that you're not gonna have the whole country bought into this, which is a real problem"

ICE agents in tactical gear chase down and tackle a U.S. citizen in L.A. After realizing he’s American, they just slink away. Their only explanation: “Why were you running?” Probably because two masked men with guns were trying to snatch him.

- war without congressional approval - masked thugs abducting and deporting people without due process - concentration camps on foreign soil - US military deployed against protesters - tariffs costing families thousands - gutting healthcare for millions … we’re only 152 days in

Why are no headlines focusing on the unconstitutional and dictatorial nature of this action?

This is not about the merits of Iran’s nuclear program. No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense.

AOC: “It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

Trump just forced us into another forever war. He’s doing everything he can to destroy this country.

Emerson Colindres, a recent high school graduate & wonderful athlete, a 19 year-old kid was abducted at an immigration check-in. He was thrown in jail & then deported to a country he left at age 8. He has no connections there & no place to stay. Call Congress at 202-224-3121 to stop the cruelty!

CATO: “New nonpublic data from ICE indicates the government is primarily detaining individuals with no criminal convictions of any kind… 93% had no violent convictions… 65% no criminal record at all…” @MarshaBlackburn www.cato.org/blog/65-peop...

Divisive concept, as defined by conservatives: Black people are people Not divisive: Black people are not people www.nytimes.com/2025/06/21/u...

Apparently... We arrest American citizens now for just filming our government's Gestapo goons at work

We’re #1!!!

Incredible stuff www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

"In recent months, ICE agents have regularly refused to present warrants when requested. Coupled with the new practice of face coverings during detentions, it becomes nearly impossible to distinguish the conduct of an imposter from that of an authorized agent."

When you layer a terrible policy on top of a failed policy, people suffer unnecessarily. ⬇️⬇️⬇️ One two punch:' Doctor says environmental risk and healthcare cuts lead to the return of black lung apple.news/A8qwM_TgxQb6...

Medicaid isn’t “welfare.” It’s chemo. It’s oxygen. It’s a child’s seizure meds. You kill Medicaid, you don’t just “cut spending.” You kill people. #DontKillOurMedicaid

An ICE agent pointed a gun at the head of a civilian—for snapping a photo of his license plate. One hand on the trigger, the other fumbling the car door. He didn’t realize someone else was already filming. R/t@longtimehistory

The Los Angeles Dodgers announced today that the organization will donate $1 million to immigrant families impacted by recent raids.

I think the Catholic Church should do this every day in every city
