1 in 12 Americans live in California. 1 in 35 Americans live in LA County. LA is America

We’re deeply disappointed in much of the U.S. media. Grateful, however, to international journalists who are telling the truth.

Lol no.

Almost verbatim, unbelievable

All around us, there are people who are working to make the world a better place, who are kind and decent to other people, who have sane & empirically grounded worldviews. So why is the media world filled with profile after profile after profile of dipshit scumbags?

beginning to suspect that LA wants ICE to fuck off

ICE is a much greater threat to this country than illegal immigrants. The current administration ia by far the greatest threat this country faces. The problem is not st our borders. It is in the White House.

Newsom is warned of ‘criminal tax evasion’ if he withholds federal taxes. California governor made threat amid reports Trump is weighing huge federal funding cuts targeting state. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

So carrying a Mexican flag during a peaceful protest will get you arrested but carrying a confederate flag during a deadly insurrection will get you a pardon. Got it.

“Tasted a little tear gas— tasted like fascism”

Now everyone will go look up the book and it will make NY Times. #sighs #booksky #writingcommunity

L.A. is a Mexican-American city. The majority of the population is made up of racial and ethnic minorities. We are all happy living together and really do not want to see our friends, neighbors and families being terrorized by federal robo-cops. This is bullshit.

At the ICE raid and subsequent community resistance in Paramount, California this morning, this skater kid ate dozens of munitions from Border Patrol agents, walked away slowly and flipped them off.

And there you have it. ICE didn't target migrant workers in Kristi Noem's farms or Sarah Huckabee Sanders' meatpacking plants because they wanted to create a riot in LA as a pretext to declaring martial law. They don't care about undocumented migrants, they only care about controlling US citizens.

Thinking of a hero I knew and admired.

Fist fighting in the White House, 13 kids with 4 different women, multiple scam businesses, emotional volatility, does enough drugs to kill a buffalo. Elon Musk is total white trash.

WATCH: The MAGA right "built the Epstein scandal up as a pro-Trump mythology when Donald Trump has been at the center of the Epstein scandal the whole time," says @chrislhayes.bsky.social.

DHS FIRING ON US FOR A MINUTE STRAIGHT OUTSIDE THE DETENTION CENTER. Please watch and share. EYES ON LA! FUCK ICE!

Scenes like this were DIRECTLY caused by Stephen Miller's wailing that ICE can't arrest the number of people he promised they would arrest (bc he lied abt how many criminal aliens there are).

Whenever this happens, the executive who signed off on it should be charged with murder. This is unconscionable.

The craziest thing about this fight between Trump and Elon Musk is that Republicans are trying to take away health care from 16 million people to pay for tax cuts for billionaires.

The enemy of my enemy is still my enemy but I still like seeing them fight

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!!!

Within the space of an evening Musk has gone from (just about) an ally of Trump’s to alleging that he’s in the Epstein files and should be impeached. Meanwhile, Steve Bannon suggests Musk should be deported. Just another normal night in Trump’s America.

Getting the popcorn out for this messy break up. 😎 🍿

DEAN: What's the tariff on bananas? LUTNICK: Generally 10% DEAN: Walmart has already increased the cost of bananas by 8% LUTNICK: If you build in America, there is no tariff DEAN: We cannot build bananas in America

Last week, @rhodesben.bsky.social and I did a Munk Debates against Kevin Roberts and Kellyanne Conway on whether Trump is leading America into a new golden age. We won. This is from my closing statement. There’s nothing golden about a movement that bathes in gratuitous cruelty.

Chris Murphy: "We can't be preparing for the 2026 election. It might not come. All of our focus right now has to be on protecting the democracy, about stopping the corruption."

our lightsaber

Donald Trump just fulfilled another Project 2025 promise. He pulled guidance that protected doctors who provide abortions to save their patients’ lives. Let me be clear that in Illinois, you remain protected and can receive reproductive health care without fear of retribution.

THE GOP'S WAR ON EDUCATION IS A WAR ON TRUTH. They're banning books, rewriting history, and brainwashing our kids with propaganda. We must fight back against this Orwellian nightmare! #DontDefundPublicSchools #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

I worry that not enough of a big deal is being made about how long-term the devastation of these budget cuts to our scientific and health agencies will be, beyond the absolute ruin they will cause in the acute period.

It’s TACO Tuesday on Capitol Hill! I hear the White House celebrates every day.

I think we’ve reached a boiling point when it comes to ICE. Today in Minneapolis, a militarized task force raided the beloved Lake Street taqueria, Las Cuatro Milpas—and the community was not having it. Agents from ICE, the DEA, FBI, ATF, IRS and HHS rolled up looking like they were ready for war.

Man he really hates being called a taco, doesn’t he? Might even say he’s got a thin shell.

Now even someone on ketamine, mushrooms and Ecstasy can see it.

Pride Month so far: Jonathan Joss is murdered in a disgusting hate crime and the Navy intentionally announces they are changing the name of the USNS HARVEY MILK. America... now more than ever... David Lynch's words ring loudly. "Fix your hearts or die." This cannot be our normal.

hahaha our shitty legislators passed a law barring the display of any non-official flags on state property (including schools) in an effort to limit rainbow flags, so my city just voted to adopt the pride flag as one of our official flags. happy pride y'all!

For those in despair, wondering what we can do as the Trump anti-science admin rips apart decades of good work for pure partisan politics, here are two things 1) read @walkerbragman.bsky.social’s piece today; 2) donate $10, $20, $50, $1000 to @accountabilityji.bsky.social www.optout.news/donate

Jonathan Joss was MURDERED. Words matter here. He was MURDERED. it was a HATE CRIME because he is a gay Indigenous man. Say those words. Do not dance around it. He wasn't "killed in a shooting." He was murdered in a hate crime.

A HISTORIC MILESTONE: For the first time, solar power generated more electricity globally than nuclear, making it the world’s 4th largest power source. In just 5 years, solar output nearly tripled—from 79 TWh (Apr 2020) to 233 TWh (Apr 2025). The energy transition is speeding up. @ember-energy.org

The global build out of #SolarPower continues to grow rapidly because it is inexpensive to build and operate and can be built after than other power sources. The future is electric, not thermal. 🧪🔌💡☀️💨🔋
