Never Trump, ex-Republican. Pro-science, geologist, former YEC. Happy to be left of X. The book of Genesis is not a book of natural history. Ukraine needs help.

LOS ANGELES: Stay off the streets tonight. Stay home. Stay safe. Tom Homan says the National Guard might be deployed — and I’m telling you, he wants violence. They’re baiting us to react so they can escalate. Rule #1: Never protest at night. That’s when the worst happens—under cover of darkness.

LAPD eventually showed up and rescued ICE by attacking US citizens, ICE joined them in firing tear gas and pepper rounds at people. (🎥 @pplscitycouncil.bsky.social )

If you are arrested during a protest or action against ICE or CPD in Chicago, I can represent you pro bono. Email me at [email protected]. (This is an offer for criminal defense; I unfortunately don't do immigration law.)

Better safe than sorry… 🚨Heavy ICE Presence Expected in Los Angeles on Sunday. A bilingual warning is being shared with the community — including areas to avoid. Stay alert. Protect each other. Know your rights.

We all can see Russia from here.

We're no longer the leader of the free world. We're no longer a beacon of democracy and justice. We're no longer the land of opportunity. We're no longer a nation in which no one is above the law. Our myths about ourselves are killing us. What to do? davidrothkopf.substack.com/p/we-are-not...

Their hypocrisy knows no bounds...

THIS IS WHY! 🤬👇🏽 Take off your gotdam masks! @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social What is the plan?? Women are getting raped! 😡 Call Your Reps and Senators: (202)224-3121 INVESTIGATE ICE! We need answers on why ICE agents are masked and refusing to ID themselves!

We are about to have a lot of National Guard ILLEGALLY on the streets of Los Angeles

Greetings! A large immigration operation and subsequent protest in Paramount, CA has led to a large amount of gas and “less lethal” munitions. Situation ongoing. Will update as I can.

I’m extremely proud of our piece, and hope you’ll take a read. In particular, the stories of people in Altadena and Pasadena were both tragic and uplifting to hear. Gigantic thank you to @melbuer.bsky.social and @jwhendricks.bsky.social for being an incredible team. calmatters.org/commentary/2...

Protesters in Los Angeles have halted a bus that is allegedly carrying people ICE has kidnapped

Fact......

I don't think that the MSM will be useful in covering what's going on. We're going to have to rely on independent journalists and foreign correspondents.

Reminder that tear gas is a chemical weapon that is illegal to deploy in warfare, yet cops are allowed to blanket civilians in clouds of the stuff.

Tom Homan: We are making Los Angeles safer. Mayor Bass should be thanking us. She says they are going to mobilize—guess what? We are already mobilizing. We are going to bring the National Guard in tonight

Make no mistake, these men under the masks are as racist as the Klan that wore the hoods and mask themselves for the same reason. And we thought we were past this as a country…

Video from about an hour ago as less than lethal rounds are being used against protesters in Southern California

The most striking thing about the LA protests is how many people just dropped everything to show up and yell at federal agents. There are people in suits, and carrying dogs, and wearing flip flops or bike helmets. These are not people who planned to do this today. But there they are.

FYI

A thing to keep in mind for all of this is that Stephen Miller is at the top of it and he is pushing ICE to get more reckless bc he is spiraling out at the fact that theyre losing both on the numbers front and on the public opinion front

Corrupt Donald Trump 🙄 🚩 PARDONED a DRUG DEALER 😵‍💫 …and decided to make him, the Deputy Director of the…😳 …BUREAU of PRISONS 👨‍✈️ 🚔 #wtf www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...

Trying and failing to come up with the right words to describe what we are witnessing unfold in LA right now. Your resistance is here, support them

the people in LA putting their safety on the line right now to try and stop ICE are the bravest people we have got

This should be a national debate, not an executive power grab. 📌 The Posse Comitatus Act prevents the president from using the military as a domestic police force.

This man was courageous enough to stand up to Trump and Vance. So it's important to post this message and photo to 27 million people. Don't just "like" it -- that only means that YOU'VE seen it. Postb it, blow it up and get it out there! #SlavaUkraini 🇺🇦

🚨WE the PEOPLE can help‼️ ⭐️ Peacefully surround a vulnerable person to shield them. ICE/LEO cannot legally detain or arrest ANYONE not comitting a crime, ANYWHERE without a *judicial warrant*. 💪🏼 No judicial warrant? No ziptying, dragging, detaining, kidnapping, arresting! 📢 Shield. Film. Report.

🚨BREAKING: Mississippi is asking the Supreme Court to uphold its mail-in ballot grace period. Mississippi is fighting back against a challenge from the RNC to strike down the law. Depending on how SCOTUS rules, it could change how over a dozen states conduct elections. Paige and I discuss.

NEW: On Thursday, Comptroller Brad Lander joined the court-watchers at 290 Broadway, one of the city's three federal immigration court buildings, and walked with immigrants away from their court appearances in order to deter ICE agents from abducting them. hellgatenyc.com/lander-accom...

Nuremberg would like a word.

You can argue the merits of deporting Marcelo—a young man brought here at age 5—if you want to. But this is someone we should be proud to call American. He’s solid on every level. And if you’re really a Christian, you should be lifting him up, not casting him out. Listen w/an open mind—and heart.

Melon: time to drop the really big bomb - was Starlink used to manipulate the 2024 election?

"These are dark days, but we are not alone and we will not be silenced." I don't know who said this but I agree. This is not the time to stay silent. We are at WAR people, and the enemy is our government! We are all Americans. We stand with our immigrants. We are all immigrants! Please share this.

"It's really hard to fathom that the guy making my pizza for 25 years is a gangster and a terrorist, and the person who shows up in an unmarked car wearing a mask and body armor comes to take him away is somehow the good guy” www.wnep.com/article/news...

When ICE comes into our neighborhoods targeting our communities and hurting our leaders, we show up! United. Organized. Ready to protect families.

Thinking of a hero I knew and admired.

Wild scenes out of LA tonight. Very worried about how the Trump admin might respond.

NEW: LAPD just declared ICE protesters an unlawful assembly. A few moments ago 👇🏾

Russia targets civilians, Ukraine targets military targets. This war is as binary as it gets, Russia are the bad guys invading their neighbours and Ukraine are the good guy defending their homeland. If you stand by Russia, you stand by evil.

A teacher breaks down after ICE causes multiple schools to lockdown during graduation ceremonies and parents to flee for their lives. Only the soulless aren’t hurting from what is happening in our country. This is affecting all of us.
