Protesters being arrested in Dallas now

Let this sink in. Even the Los Angeles Police Chief, Jim McDonnell, made it clear: the people protesting immigration raids were not the ones causing violence. During a Sunday evening press conference, McDonnell condemned the violence as “disgusting”

I’m not sure why Gavin Newsome doesn’t activate the rest of his army guard to prevent the president from it or force him to overrule it…. Then fight on the second amendment guaranteeing a state a right to a militia. How can a state have a militia if the president can simply federalize it

This is a pretty important point!

June 14th!!

In itself it's not the biggest thing but Congress specifically passed a law requiring ICE to allow access to members of Congress because of Trump's antics in the first term. This isn't even norms. It's violating black letter statute law.

Newsom responds to Homan statement on possibly arresting him: He's a tough guy. Why doesn't he do that? He knows where to find me. Lay your hands off four year old girls that are trying to get educated. Come and arrest me. Let’s just get it over with tough guy. I don’t give a damn

There is no mass-deportation campaign going on right now. Deportation is a process. This is kidnapping and human trafficking.

"Trump, the self-styled alpha male, is in reality the weakest kind of leader – a man for whom every slight is a mortal wound, every criticism an unforgivable sin.” He's a snowflake. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/the-worlds...

I am a veteran, so I don’t say this without first having thought about it: I am utterly disgusted with the members of the National Guard who are participating in this deployment in Los Angeles. You aren’t being the “patriots” you believe yourselves to be.

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

It is difficult to overstate how much I loathe such selfish dumbasses:

ICE arrested 36 Chinese & Taiwanese immigrants after raiding an LA nightclub. That's them, ziptied on the sidewalk. Yo Asians—if you weren't already outraged and mobilizing on behalf of others, guess what? That "First they came for the..." poem has gotten up to us. www.latimes.com/california/s...

Organizers of the protests are calling for June 14 to be a "nationwide day of defiance."

OMGGGGG 🔥🔥🔥

Neon Films released THE LIFE OF CHUCK. Because they’re small, they depended on Mark Hamil, Tom Hiddleston, and others to go on the circuit and talk the movie up. Thank you, guys. Now go bust a move!

I see that @lseefeldt.bsky.social follows #PostcardsToVoters so I don't think they'll mind me inviting their own Followers to email [email protected] Why? Because we need more people to help us write to 2 million Florida Dems before the midterms. Are you in? Join us! Thanks!

This is really interesting! Bondi is being accused of serious professional misconduct by a large group of her peers , including law professors and former Florida Supreme Court justices. Send her to El Salvador! 😁 #ProudBlue www.yahoo.com/news/bondi-a...

🇺🇦 Despite over 3 years of full-scale war, Ukrainian resilience holds strong. According to a new KIIS survey, 60% of Ukrainians are ready to endure the war "as long as needed", with another 6% prepared for at least a year. Only 20% see their endurance limited to months.

Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio tried to give a press conference to announce his lawsuit against DOJ. Much to my surprise it turned out to be the greatest press conference of all-time.

HAPPENING NOW 🚨: LAPD in full riot gear has arrived to back up DHS agents trapped inside a federal government parking structure. The crowd’s been ordered to disperse. This just escalated fast.

Russia bombed Kharkiv.. 60 TIMES 2 hours ago. 😖 calling people there now..

This is Donald Trump's personal Gestapo Goon Squad of J6 insurrectionists.

If you watch only one video today, let it be this one. Watch NYU Stern School of Business Professor Scott Galloway’s outstanding commentary on what prosperity and wealth should mean in America. His words could not be more on point and timely. Please pass it on.

In 1912, a Black man was lynched before thousands—then shot full of bullets. Days later, two Black teens were hanged. Forsyth County forced out every Black resident. They erased the truth. 📖 ERASED tells the truth they tried to bury. Read it. Share it. Never forget: stan.store/gxldsociety/...

Pretty sure this should tell you all you need to know about the veracity of the DOJ's charges against Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

Yes! I am partisan! It’s common fact that democrats are better for the vast majority of people in this country. It’s why republicans push so hard on social issues like abortion and immigration. It’s easier to manipulate conservatives. #MomSky #Pinks

Ticket sales and subscription revenue at the Kennedy Center have fallen sharply since Trump made himself chairman. Single-ticket sales were down roughly 50%. Subscriptions revenue down 82% for theater. (NYT)

The U.S. Bureau of Prisons must provide transgender inmates with hormone therapy and social accommodations such as gender-appropriate clothing while a lawsuit over the issue proceeds, a federal judge ruled on Tuesday.

"In a new study, scientists have found a way to turn industrial waste, such as recycled glass and construction waste, into a soil solidifier that is cement-free. By cutting out the cement, the material serves as a lower-carbon material for green construction." #GreenSky
