Senator Ted Cruz posted a dramatic video of LAPD cars on fire with the caption “this… is… not… peaceful.” What he didn’t mention? The footage was from 2020, not 2025. His post on X falsely implied it was current, part of a broader effort to spread lies and manufacture a crisis.

Resign from ICE. Unless you signed-up to be a stormtrooper fighting against your fellow Americans. Just resign. And be on the right side of history.

Trump has been jealous of Newsome and envious of blue states for his entire career. This was entirely predictable. He wants to declare martial law throughout the nation and put the finishing touches on his dictatorship. youtube.com/watch?v=AUXF...

January Trump approval on the economy: plus +8.24 points Today Trump approval on the economy: minus -15.75 January Trump approval on inflation: plus +1.99 Today Trump approval on inflation: minus -22.24 So clearly it's time to deploy the Marines in L.A.? www.newsweek.com/donald-trump...

I did

Pete Hegseth is a wee bawbag

AIDS Memorial Quilt on display October 11-13 1996 on the National Mall in Washington D.C. Let us never forget.

When the LA police says you are overreaching, you are overreaching.

Tom Homan: We are making Los Angeles safer. Mayor Bass should be thanking us. She says they are going to mobilize—guess what? We are already mobilizing. We are going to bring the National Guard in tonight

Speak Truth to Power.....

SEIU-USWW President David Huerta was injured and detained by federal agents in Los Angeles today while observing ICE activity. This is video of his arrest. Statement from SEIU in next post.

Racking up another award this week! Historical Fiction. Pretty exciting

Lee: Would say it would be “illegal DEI” for a lesson plan on the Tulsa race massacre? McMahon: I’d have to get back to you Lee: Do you know what the Tulsa race massacre is? McMahon: I’d like to look into it more and get back to you on it.

Everywhere ICE agents go, crowds and cameras should follow.. They shouldn’t know a moment of peace.. Nothing they do should be easy or without roadblocks.. Disrupt, sabotage and impede their process at every step.. They should be harassed, ridiculed, mocked and disrespected.. It is your duty🇺🇸

Please share far & wide. Please be on the lookout for this vehicle. If you are a backpacker or hiker or biker please assist in searching for these children. Dad is a homeless veteran who suffers PTSD. He had 3-hour court approved visit w girls on Fri but disappeared. His phone has been turned off.

Whoever you are I love you

This is the country we get until we decide hell naw & pick up a history book to learn how to take back this country from those who are already waging war on us the American people.

This is the country we get when thugs and addicts and rapists are elevated to celebrity status. This is the country we get when our only shared value is dictated by tech bros who want us to be automans who work to enrich them.

This is the country we get when people are more familiar with the history of the Kardashian family & Housewives of Name A City than they are of the history of Normandy or My Lai or Fallujah or Rafah.

Violence begets violence. It must be condemned no matter who is perpetrating it - Israel, Hamas, Pro-Palestinians, White Nationalist, or ICE thugs.

Not good news out of Poland tonight as a far-right friend of Trump's wins prez election. Imagine being a historian who has run the museum of National Remembrance and somehow befriending a fascist.

Happy Pride Y’all

The person’s senility that should have been checked was Merrick Garland’s senility. His lack of action gave Trump the keys to thuggery

Iowa, I implore...please don't re-elect this heartless witch. It's pathetic that someone like her, who doesn't have to worry where her next meal comes from, or the fact that she has the best insurance that's paid for by taxpayers. #Resist #Resistance #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue youtu.be/8Bl85BWPZ8E?...

Can someone point out to me an authoritarian regime that allowed itself to be voted out, ever in history? Because I am not aware of one. Which gives me extreme concern that the only plan Dems seem to have for regaining democracy is winning the 2026 and 2028 elections.

There’s poetry in receiving this award twice a decade apart, especially since both books -Mother of Rain & No Perfect Mothers - address women’s healthcare at a time when body autonomy has once again been stripped from females nationwide by patriarchal extremists. #booksky

Memorial Day. A day of remembrance, a reflection of all the happiness lost. The only “scum” is the draft dodger who currently resides in the White House & those who put him there. #memoialday #vietnam #kia #fallen

The truth is that Trump should have gone to Vietnam, should have died in Vietnam, had he not been rich and able to dodge the draft five times deceitfully. He’s no patriot. He should have earned his place in history in Vietnam, instead of deceitfully and feloniously ruining this country.

Netanyahu’s Massacre. @senatormarcorubio ignores this genocide, the intentional starvation of tens of thousands in Gaza. And @whitehouse remains silent as does @gop @franklin_graham & every other leader in America right now. Yet America has benefited financially the most from this massacre.

Dean Phillips has proven once again that he’s not fit to shine Joe Biden’s shoes. What a small minded tiny hearted man he is
