In Pasadena, CA, a Trump regime ICE thug drew a lethal weapon on an unarmed U.S. citizen for photographing his license plate. ICE agents are operating without identification, so citizens are bravely documenting them for accountability and safety. #StopICE #AbolishICE #PoliceState

Donald Trump just weaponized U.S. Marines in L.A.—detaining a U.S. Army vet with zip ties outside a federal building. This isn’t protection. It’s authoritarian theater, a grotesque show of force aimed at scaring lawful dissent into silence. Rights

BREAKING: Marines — soldiers trained to kill — roll up on a Black man in LA for the high crime of minding his own business. Alone. Unarmed. Quiet. They think you’re the real threat. Our military is turning its weapons inward.

Newsom: I told the president, just get it over with. Arrest me. Move on. If you need someone’s head to scalp, then do it with me. But stop messing with these kids. Stop messing with four-year-olds. Kids in elementary school

Stephen Miller is in a rage over deportation numbers he deems too low. So he's shifting huge amounts of law enforcement resources away from fighting serious crimes and into his immigration crackdown. This fellow is a monster.

I think a lot of of those folks dressing up like ICE are not even cops much less federal agents. The way they carry themselves. The way they are dressed. Something is off.

Lots of people on my feed are concerned about the destruction of NOAA by the Trump administration and Elon Musk, but much of what I’ve seen people post about is the national weather service. That’s vital, but NOAA does so much more than that! My latest, for @ucsusa.bsky.social 🧪🌎🦑🐠

SNAP is vital to ensuring families have food on their tables. It's why my administration made it a priority to fight hunger in IL. Republicans should be lowering costs, not making life harder for families now — especially not one of the largest cuts to food assistance ever.

You'll probably see a lot of people post this story in one way or another. And I hope everyone posts it and talks about it. #AltCitizen behavior on a national stage. Courageous nonviolent actions in the moment in order to make a strong statement. This is not a fight we will stand down from.

This is what oligarchy is about. While planning massive cuts to Medicaid, the Republicans are proposing to provide another $235 billion in tax breaks to the top 0.2% of households through an increase in the estate tax exemption. The very rich get richer. The poor lose health care. Outrageous.

If you have to repeatedly break the law to arrest those you claim have broken the law, you’re not enforcing the law. ICE has morphed into a terrorizing Gestapo-like goon squad. They must be held accountable.
