This was posted yesterday June 17th. President Xi’s post warned the U.S. that global dominance isn’t permanent. Like the British, French, and Spanish empires before it, America risks decline if it loses respect. Power fades when taken for granted—“The world moves on. Always.”

Brutal.

This woman works on a farm that's being raided by ICE. Her fear is palpable. She just begs people who see her post to tell others what is happening so maybe she can find her kids if they are also taken. This is inhumane and cruel, especially without due process.

As they’re trying to do the right thing

California brings forth bill that takes the masks off ICE agents.

“Did you really mean to say Gaza should be nuked because there’s something wrong with their ‘culture’?” Rep. Andy Fine (R) : “No — the fallout would drift to Israel and it would kill the hostages.” “…and what about innocent women & children in Gaza?” FINE: “War is messy.”😳

An Afghan man who worked as a translator for the U.S. military during the war was detained by ICE after showing up for a hearing inside of a federal courthouse in San Diego, his attorney says. He fears that if he returns to Afghanistan, he would be tortured or even killed, @nbcsandiego.com reports.

We are all completely heartbroken by the death of Arthur Folasa Ah Loo, the peaceful protester who was killed at the Salt Lake City rally on Saturday night. If you can, please consider supporting his family while we hold them in our hearts.

Congress should pass the bipartisan BARK Act, my bill to save millions of pounds of perfectly good pet food from the trash and get it to the growing population of hungry shelter dogs and cats. We can do this. Let’s get it done.

Deplorable

#ProudBlue This is NOT good at all. We are going to war. Trump wants this so bad. It’s disgusting. @aaronparnas.bsky.social reporting. I am so sick to my stomach over this.

Zero Votes ?? Election fraud for sure!

People will tell you that they view property destruction as equivalent to violence against a person, but that's not true. They think property destruction is worse

Political violence is not an incidental risk which they are merely negligent about managing and policing. It is their Schmittian central premise. Political violence against their enemies *is* the ideology itself. That's what illiberal populism is. There's no such thing as a peaceful form of it.

Iran is a nation of 90 million plus. Israel is about 10 million. The ONLY way Netanyahu wins this war is sending troops to Iran. But Israel doesn't have the troop strength. Netanyahu was on Fox News today to get Americans to die for him. Wonder how many Americans want to die for Netanyahu?!

97% of extremist-related murders in the U.S. in 2024 were linked to right-wing extremists. It’s not a political movement anymore - it’s a hobby for failed men with too much testosterone and not enough brain cells.

This is the first act of violence I have seen today and, it is LAPD against an elderly man.

Look what I found when I searched "ICE uniform" in Google Shopping. None of us have any way of knowing if the "ICE agent" pushing you into a car, isn't just some unbalanced vigilante into cosplay. These are very dangerous times.

Literally the Russian flag in the post. Two of them

Sen. Amy Klobuchar dined with Melissa Hortman, a Minnesota lawmaker and decades-long friend, just hours before she and her husband were shot and killed in what authorities are saying was a politically motivated killing. “I wish everyone had known her like we knew her,” Klobuchar told POLITICO.

WATCH: “Holy f*ck — They literally just shot her point blank… I live here…” @lapdhq shoot a woman trying to get to her apartment at point blank range with a rubber bullet. Alexandria’s page (the woman who helps her): www.tiktok.com/@labyrinthlo...

Two Los Angeles protestors vs dozens of cops. They locked in against the ICE ethnic cleansing. #3E #StopICE

Navarro: I'm very happy to see somebody that isn't afraid to speak up and call an authoritarian an authoritarian. And if it's Newsom, as a result of what's happening in California now, I welcome it because I have been so thirsty for somebody that is not cowardly

We feed you. They hunt us.

I’ve noticed this myself 👇

Donald Trump forcing US troops to sleep on the ground in the scorching heat in Los Angeles, since he made 0 arrangements to house or feed them and only wanted to use them as props for his fascist porn and political manipulation. MAGA will say "I voted for this"🤡

Right now, Dems are hiding in their offices, scrolling their phones fearfully, wondering "how are voters going to feel about the National Guard being deployed?" The right, meanwhile, is vigorously *attempting to shape* how voters feel about it, filling every medium with coordinated propaganda.

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 your response to this video is, “That’s what I voted for”— Fuck you. Fuck you very much. You’re heartless.

Keep up the fight!

It’s interesting that ICE is not conducting raids on the farms and slaughterhouses in South Dakota, Iowa, Nebraska etc. where 86% of the workers are undocumented… I wonder if Kristi Noem, as former governor of South Dakota, has an answer…

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.

Pete would happily do it.
