"Our Constitution, written by our founders, is intended to protect us against a threat identical to Donald Trump – someone who seeks power at all costs to get more power." Al Gore

ICE targets legal immigrants and US citizens based on skin colour, canceling legal processes with crooked judges to abduct people and profit from quotas. It is breaking a multitude of laws as instructed by the regime. This is ethnic cleansing and human trafficking. #3E #StopICE

I’ve been saying this for years. Our MSM have failed us miserably. Because while they’re VERY PROFICIENT at holding Democrats accountable, they’re clueless about doing the same for Republicans. It hurts their feelings to point it out, but it’s necessary if they have any hope for improvement.

Something I’d note is that while there is criminal immunity for “official acts” for the president, no such immunity exists for the deputy chief of staff.

Sen. Alex Padilla responds to JD Vance: "He knows my name. Look, sadly, it's just an indicator of how petty and unserious this administration is. But he's the vice president of the United States, you think he'd take the situation in Los Angeles more seriously." @msnbc.com

Tolkien’s palantir fell under the control of Sauron. Peter Thiel’s Palantir is falling under the control of Trump. How this story ends is up to all of us. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/palantir-the-worst-of-the-corporate

My relatives in East L.A. — born in the U.S.A. — are afraid to go outside because masked men with guns are randomly snatching people off the street. This is a government terrorism campaign against its own people.

According to reports from both the Washington Post and Reuters, the Pentagon has deployed "multiple B-2 Spirit stealth bombers" over the Pacific Ocean towards Guam, raising alarms that the U.S. may become more deeply involved in Israel's attacks on Iran.

just saw a group of masked men stuffing masked ICE agents into an unmarked car, who were saying "we're ICE we're ICE!" but the abductors shouted to the crowd "no we're ICE!" no one knew who was ICE, so no one in the crowd said anything.

61 years ago today, the Klan murdered three civil rights workers in Mississippi. One of them was a childhood friend. I'd like to share what he meant to me. https://youtu.be/u-kv3wdqqNo?si=Zc3Uh-CJOcODt-RW

⚡️'Ukrainian drones for the foot of every Russian soldier' — Zelensky responds to Putin's threat to conquer all Ukraine. Kyiv has made several decisions in light of Russia's overt threats, including a diplomatic overhaul, intensified sanctions efforts, and increased funding for drone development.

If Ohio and Texas’ Republican legislatures redistrict mid-cycle to help House Republicans through gerrymandering, Democratic legislatures should do the same. Fuck this unilateral disarmament bullshit. Until the GOP stops gerrymandering, Dems should gerrymander too.

“The time may have come for Democrats in the Legislature to withhold their cooperation, sacrifice some of the bipartisan chumminess that prevails in the House, and focus on building a party that knows why Texans should vote for it.” - @texasobserver.org #txlege

And remember how the Purge was, at its core, a way to target and eliminate "undesirables" and the wealthy and white were safe despite the nominal open season nature of it? Yeah. This is all so bleak.

‘He’s Aware Of The Senator’s Name’: LA Mayor Karen Bass Gives Coy Answer On Whether Vance Was Racist to Padilla https://twp.ai/4iofTt

Elon helped put into power a political party that doesn’t believe in climate change or renewable energy. Time for him to take a look in the mirror.

Today’s GOP doesn’t want votes, it wants power. That’s why they gerrymander, purge voters, and pack courts. It’s not about democracy—it’s about dominance. If we don’t call it what it is—minority rule enforced by fear—we’re sleepwalking into tyranny.

The U.S. Marine Corps is ending shaving waivers for razor bumps. Marines whose condition doesn’t improve may face discharge. Ignoring medical realities that disproportionately affect Black service members is institutional bias in uniform. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

Wow! Meiselas interviews Illinois Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias about his response to Trump’s attack on Illinois. All HELL BREAKS LOOSE as Trump TARGETS DEM CITIES www.youtube.com/watch?v=LbyX...

This is true. But as I wrote abt this piece, someone(s) is testing the water to take on Miller. Right wingers don’t like him either.

Greetings! I’m here at Van Nuys Community Police Station Jail in Los Angeles, where independent photographer Anthony Orendorff is in custody until at least Monday. Orendorff was arrested Thursday while filming an immigration raid at the Costco in Pacoima.

And without due process this Georgia-born American citizen spends the rest of his life disappeared in a jail in Jamaica. Do you get it yet?

The University of Florida student won an academic honor after he argued in a paper that the Constitution applies only to white people. From there, the situation spiraled.

Yes, please.

Trump has long been running a disinformation campaign of doom, depicting the US as a disastrous hellscape whenever it serves his perverted political purposes. Now @davidcorn.bsky.social asks, will Trump's disinformation presidency lead us to civil war?

Ha ha uhh not so sure about your plan to use the world’s largest fortune to whitewash human culture in the name of technofascism but anyhow what else you getting into this summer man anything good?

FURIOUS Pope Leo UNLEASHES on Trump INSIDE USA MeidasTouch host Ben Meiselas reports on Pope Leo IX checkmating Donald Trump by activating Bishops and other church leaders to stand up to Ice agents in the USA and help migrants during their court cases. youtu.be/B6-wp6Z5P1g?...

Incredible stuff www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

he’s a mayoral candidate and the people trying to make this about something way beyond the municipal scope inadvertently reveal how little they actually care about new york, the city

All across America, if you look like you might not belong according to the rightwing extremist regime’s conception of “real America,” you are now at constant risk of being assaulted by these masked thugs tasked with purging the nation. Whatever you want to call this, democracy it definitely ain’t.

"We establish no religion in this country, we command no worship, we mandate no belief. Nor will we ever. Church and State are, and must remain, separate." --President Ronald Reagan, whom I usually never quote

Bob Kagan not sugarcoating his assessment here To highlight: 1- Woodrow Wilson sucks, always true 2- we are at a precipice re: consolidation of executive powers & erosion of rights of Americans 3- a war over Iran is about illiberal order (whereas defeating Russia is about liberal order, my note)

ICE Barbie Kristi Noem Hit With Lawsuit Over ‘Violent Assaults’ Against Protesters share.google/gZaKzPBckBT8...

You have to fundamentally realise what is really going on in America. Democracy doesn’t work for the wealthy. They want to rule. Democracy doesn’t allow that. So destroy democracy by controlling what people see and hear. Particularly effective for non critical thinkers.

This is horrifying.

Job Garcia’s kidnapping by the Trump administration is the top story on the LA Times website right now. www.latimes.com/california/s...

🎯

My guess is a higher percentage of ICE agents have criminal records than the people they are detaining.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTq9... TFG👇! Man who “vets” White House personnel. Has NOT had background done on himself! But when you watch this, it’s disgusting-He’s apparently a Russkie operative! And Put*n’s 🐩 Poodle is allowing this! We know why! This will piss off America! This country is teetering!

Compton, CA: A masked, heavily-armed man wearing body armor jumped out of a SUV today to kidnap a local resident. He forgot to put the vehicle in park, causing it to roll down the street damaging other cars. He jumped in the vehicle (which had no platess) and drove off without identifying himself.
