Nobody is rioting. Nobody is breaking any laws. These are cops in my city of Las Vegas just assaulting and arresting anyone on Fremont Street who looks at them. This is fascism.

LAPD and LA Sheriffs tried to prevent two large protests from joining together in downtown and both departments ended up hitting EACH OTHER with impact munitions from across the same interesection.

In Honor of Barack Obama Appreciation Day. A great speech from a great President.

Trump awkwardly stands in silence after his speech and then the presentation cuts to a Lockheed promo before Lee Greenwood comes out to sing Trump's favorite song

We miss Barack & Michelle. ❤️❤️ Always Classy, unlike the two in the WH now. #ObamaDay #ObamaAppreciationDay #BarackObamaDay #BarackObama #NoKingsDay #AbolishICE

To those who still somehow say you’re overreacting to say we are far past the point of historic crisis, go back to summer 2024 and say that in less than a year the president of the United States would be deploying the literal Marines on American soil to deal with and intimidate his political enemies

DISTURBING: ICE in Las Vegas threw teenagers against a wall, handcuffed them, scraped up their faces, bruised their arms — just for looking “illegal” while they were on their way home from a birthday party. This is what cowardice looks like with a badge.

We know what we have to do to save our city from Andrew Cuomo. We're cross endorsing 🤝 @bradlander.bsky.social

They wanted max cruelty. Shock and awe for the cameras. But all they did was traumatize a bunch of poor kids who’ll never forget it. An L.A. mom, US citizen, watched as unmarked vehicles rolled up. Masked, heavily armed ICE agents, guns drawn. And Cosplay Kristi Noem right there playing warlord!

why aren't americans taking those jobs?

David Plunkert's cover for next week's issue of The New Yorker.

more crime in america

If this is how this administration responds to a Senator with a question, you can only imagine what they're doing to farmworkers, to cooks, and to day laborers throughout California and across the country. We will hold this administration accountable.

If that’s what they do to a United States Senator with a question, imagine what they can do to any American that dares to speak up. We will hold this administration accountable.

As the videotapes clearly show, Noem is lying. Padilla is clearly identifying himself as a senator before he he is thrown to the ground and handcuffed. www.mediaite.com/media/news/p...

good start Now shut the Senate down Shut it the fuck down No collaborating with fascists

Every elected Republican should be asked if they think the president has the power to send in military in to “liberate” a state or city from its elected government.

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.

I thought Musk and Trumpy kissed and made up?

This is not journalism. This is stenography for power.

Jfc this adminstration is beyond an abomination. They are freaking monsters.

The House just passed a rescissions package that would claw back $1.1 billion from public media. It is now up to the Senate. If passed, LAist will lose $1.7 million a year. That is jobs, reporting and critical public service gone. What you can do: LAist.com/Action

A US senator is assaulted and cuffed for asking a question at a press conference held by the Sec of Homeland Security. We now live in an authoritarian regime where the political opposition can be detained and rounded up.

The senior senator from California being manhandled by feds for asking a question they didn't like.

This is a clear cut case of assault. And who were those people in plain clothes attacking Sen. Padilla? This is fucking outrageous.

Incredible! A sitting US Senator fulfilling his duty to represent his constituents.
