The best way to honor the troops would be to keep the U.S. out of wars, strengthening the VA, and ending homelessness, not a taxpayer-funded authoritarian-style parade through Washington D.C. It’s a waste of money, especially when Congress is cutting Medicaid and SNAP.

Just when you can't think they can go any lower, they find a new group of vulnerable people to harm. They are now going after foster children. This is evil. This regime is evil. www.reddit.com/r/ICE_Raids/...

Naming stuff after Robert E. Lee isn't a bad idea. We just need to limit what gets named after him. The following is acceptable: -port-a-pottys -sweage plants -erectile dysfunction clinics -Tesla dealerships Feel free to add to this list.

A woman walking home alone was shot point-blank with “non-lethal” rounds fired by officers in Los Angeles. A neighbor filmed the assault and rushed to help only to be fired on and ordered back.

W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee: “Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”

Stoke fear. Exploit desperation. Suspend the rule of law. Fan brutality. Every time the stronger brutalize the weak, it’s fundamentally the same playbook. Our duty is to stand up to brutality. Our moral obligation is to protect the vulnerable and hold the powerful accountable.

Both sides are not the same. Not even close.

Double.

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants. Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this. Do not.

How great was Battlestar Galactica? This line has stayed with me since I first heard it.

You had one job ...

Trump never had a plan. He is not a strategist. He is a chaos agent, and his tiny brain can only think of ways to cause havoc.

This right here:

Not a doctor. Not a scientist. No. A longtime heroin addict and current steroid enthusiast who perjured himself in confirmation hearings in order to pursue a twisted agenda that will kill more Americans than Osama Bin Laden.

Well said @logicbylink.bsky.social www.instagram.com/reel/DKsON9y...

We strongly encourage all #NoKings participants to attend the #ACLU’s Know Your Rights Training, this Tuesday at 7pm ET/4pm PT, which will prepare you to handle any encounter with law enforcement and de-escalate tense situations at marches (en Español a las 5:15pm PT). act.aclu.org/a/2025-kyr-t...

This is on all the Senators who turned a blind eye and voted to confirm. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/09/h...

The President of the United States is advocating for arresting the duly-elected Governor of California for his SPEECH He thereafter admitted that the Governor of California had committed NO CRIME—but he still wants him arrested Spend as much time as you need processing what that means for America

If you're a Marine or other service member being mobilized to Los Angeles and you'd like to apply for conscientious objector status, call the GI Rights Hotline to get some guidance on your options: 1-877-447-4487

I guarantee that if Kamala Harris was President there'd be no tanks in DC or activated National Guard in Los Angeles Fuck ALL Y'ALL who didnt vote for her. Every motherfucking one of you owns a share of this.

(cont.) This is a President who failed to call up the National Guard when it was actually needed -- on January 6th -- and then pardoned the participants as one of his first acts as president. They want a spectacle. They want the violence. (cont.)

LAPD fired rubber bullets at Australian journalist @laurentomasi.bsky.social

Polite request to please credit the photographers whose L.A. photos you’re sharing. They’re out there risking getting their shins exploded by police munitions to get those shots.

"Non-lethal" regarding rubber bullets, etc. A British journalist is having emergency surgery on his leg in LA after being hit. Muscle was exposed. He was walking across the street. An Australian journalist was hit on live TV. She was standing in the street reporting, nowhere near anyone.

Agreed, Donnie. Let's arrest the ICE agents, NOW!

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

Thinking of Greta Thunberg (and co) and those being attacked by ICE in LA. Lot of horrible stuff going on right now but also A LOT of people standing up for what's right.

In the last 20 or so minutes I’ve seen LAPD officers shove women to the ground without provocation, rip a sign out of a man’s hand and then swing a baton into his leg and raise a less-lethal launcher to aim directly at a protester (which I’m 99% is a major policy violation.)

Brutal crack down on First Amendment begins in America youtube.com/shorts/TxTfd...

Whenever law enforcement agents are given a quota of a specific number of people to arrest or detain, especially with the WH policy director screaming at their superiors to hit those target numbers, bad things are going to happen. Quotas always result in civil rights violations.

BREAKING: Kamala Harris issues statement on Los Angeles.

Accurate.

We need a congress that has a spine again so we can get a full investigation into this. If there is any justice, members of DOGE will be in prison soon.

Los Angeles is Under Threat from Hegseth-Felon 47

Pete Hesgeth — who wants to rename the Navy ship that honors Medgar Evers, a WWII veteran who landed on Omaha Beach — is using that same beach for a photo op in which he promises we will “never forget” the veterans there. What an unbelievable asshole.

So are we just teaching our kids they have to obey anyone with a mask and an unmarked car and an oddly-fitting vest and zip ties now and go with them? Is this where we’re at?
