Taxpayers are flipping the bill 💸 This all happening as Republicans want to gut Medicaid and Medicare . We have paid into these programs with every paycheck earned. It makes me angry.😡 How about you?

ICYMI, someone in one of the three hearings WhiskeyPete did this week asked him if he'd advise Trump not to get dragged into an Israeli war with Iran. Whiskey Pete's answer was as useless as all the rest of his were.

There’s the Kristi Noem version—then there’s the truth. WATCH: Sen. Alex Padilla’s first interview since he was forced out of a federal building press conference… for daring to ask questions.

Newsom: "He's been a stone cold liar about what he said we talked about. He never discussed the National Guard. Period. Full stop. I would love to share with you what he actually talked about. It would send shivers up your spine."

Well No Nobel Peace Prize for Trump over Ukraine or Iran and definitely not LA. He is a spineless stupid man who should have never been elected as President! No soup for you Trump no soup 🏆…

We’re in the streets in downtown Chicago.

“We don’t need another king, another tyrant, another dictator.” — U.S. Army Veteran, 101st Airborne We took an oath to the Constitution—not to serve the ambitions of any one man. What’s happening isn’t national defense. It’s a warning sign.

“They were really counting on the American people having a kind of bloodlust — about immigrants .. in particular. And the American people don’t have that bloodlust. In fact, what they have is empathy. .. And a willingness to stand up ..” @maddow.msnbc.com @katiephang.bsky.social @acyn.bsky.social

The military booing an American city, goaded by the president, is deeply unsettling.

Stephen Miller ordered ICE to ramp up arrests—focusing not on violent criminals, but anyone they could grab. Home Depot raids, protests, and military escalation followed. This isn’t law and order. It’s chaos by design. Dangerous, deliberate, and disgraceful. www.forbes.com/sites/stuart...

She won. 🤔☮️💙🌊🐕‍🦺

Republicans constantly attacked Merrick Garland for prosecuting violent J6ers instead of peaceful George Floyd protestors. GOP senators even blocked US Atty nominations for most of 2021 (including in DC, which delayed the J6 Trump probe). Expect Bondi to go after peaceful protestors hard.

#ProudBlue This is what is happening in LA right now. We don’t need help. We don’t want the Marines or National Guard. Our city & state are fine!!! GET OUT! @jesscraven101.bsky.social video credit

Authoritarians fear sunlight. Document everything. Livestream. Archive. Leak. Truth makes tyrants bleed without a single bullet.

If you’re watching @maddow.msnbc.com’s A Block you understand that people who stand up for other people can change the course of those people’s lives & our history. We have the power to refuse Trump’s path forward. Protesting actually works. Let’s go.

Sending Marines to face off against citizens on U.S. soil is fundamentally un-American, a MASSIVE waste of taxpayer dollars, and an insult to our servicemembers.   A dangerous and needless escalation by a wannabe dictator.   Everyone must speak out against this abuse of power.

Boycott their donors. Jam their propaganda. Refuse to play along. Authoritarians need your obedience - deny it.

it’s wild to me that I had to give my kids a “if mom gets arrested protesting an ICE raid kidnapping” game plan in my little local town. wasn’t expecting it so fast

One protest can be ignored. Ten thousand coordinated across cities? That’s pressure. Strategy turns outrage into outcomes. www.fiftyfifty.one

This right here don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Our governor knows it too.

Service Employees International Union California president David Huerta now faces a federal charge of conspiracy to impede an officer after his violent arrest and injury on Friday at a garment warehouse. Full story: lataco.com/grand-park-p... By @janettev.bsky.social

I’ve been to multiple protests in Nashville. Not one of them has been violent. For my representative to claim an “insurrection” is being planned is 🐂💩. Indivisible is known for being peaceful. We will sing, we will chant and we will support Killar Abrego Garcia and immigrants in our community.

Nights of BLUE SKIES (sound) DAY 9 JUNE 2025 If this doesn't break your heart Walk in Their Shoes Think if this was your family This young girl, her mom Dragged off by ICE Not a criminal Thousands & thousands are going through this all over our Country America STOP THIS PLEASE

Share this. It’s why the White House demanding ABC get rid of Terry Moran. Moran has been suspended. What Moran said is accurate and true. Make sure his post makes the rounds.

Confirmed, about a federal officer ID requirement under certain condutions- thanks to @jctheresistance.demcast.com - " (a)Requirement.—Whenever a member of the armed forces (including the National Guard) or Federal law enforcement personnel provide support to Federal authorities ...

Q: "Would you support mobilizing the Marines and do you think Congress would need to sign off on that first?" Sen. Lankford: "Active duty marines are not going to be put into local law enforcement...Local law enforcement should take care of this."

Bash: "The Defense Secretary tweeted holding out the possibility of active duty Marines to be mobilized. You would be okay with that?" Sen. Ron Johnson: "It won't be necessary."

Republican pundits: These protestors are flying the flags of foreign countries! Also Republicans:

The battle in California is NOT about immigrants. It's about our FREEDOMS.

I stand with David Huerta, workers, & immigrants! Felon/GOP are quick to violate due process; escalate tensions; arrest labor leaders & Dem electeds engaged in peaceful protest &/or legal oversight; & send military against civilians! When it comes to responding to genuine crises, felon/GOP are slow!

Well I think this is official confirmation that Bluesky has the Juice

If you are National Guard or Active Duty military and you are being ordered to violate the Constitutional rights of US citizens then this is the number to the GI Rights Hotline. There is support, you don't have to go through with it. ☎️ 1-877-447-4487 From #veterans to #activeduty personnel.

Let’s talk about Stephen Miller, shall we, because if a botched exorcism learned to say “anchor baby” before it learned empathy, you’d have Stephen Miller. 👇 open.substack.com/pub/jojofrom...

He’s disappearing innocent people off of our streets and ordering the military onto our streets. He does not give a damn about the rule of law. He is the very tyrant our founding generation rose up against 249 yrs ago. It’s time for the American people to rise up again.

There is no reason that ICE needs to hire violent thugs to deport people that are here illegally. It can be a peaceful process that works within our laws and respects the rights of every human. They are putting on this spectacle to terrorize the people. It is all for show.

The governor said the protests have been "provoked by chaos from Washington." "We’re here to keep the peace — not play into Trump’s political games," Newsom wrote alongside a photo of the meeting.

I notice people calling what we’re seeing these last couple of days “riots.” I was here during the 1992 Los Angeles riots. That’s not what this is. Local police can handle this, but ICE needs to back off—especially with these amateur hires who don’t know what the f*ck they’re doing.

Mayor Bass called deploying federal troops a dangerous escalation driven by a hidden agenda, not public safety. She criticized the lack of plan and policy. At the same time, she condemned protest violence, warning that those causing chaos, like freeway takeovers, must face consequences.

Healthcare for seniors is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse. Food for hungry kids is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse. A $45 military parade for a draft dodging felon *is* waste, fraud, and abuse. Paying the National Guard to attack US citizens *is* waste, fraud, and abuse.
