“Shame, shame not in our name.” A veterans group —chanting & protesting the military parade in DC tomorrow —pushed past the barriers at the Capitol to do a sit in on the steps. They’re now being arrested by Capitol police. #DonLemon exclusive open.substack.com/live-stream/...

🚨Breaking news, happening now Veterans protesting in DC went through barricade to sit on Capitol steps protesting military parade are being arrested and loaded into vans.

The ladies have hit the runway at the Kennedy Center. FOTUS must be pissed! It’s Le Miserable time 🤗

Israel bombing Iran in the middle of US diplomacy is an astonishing and totally unnecessary escalation and humiliating for Trump who said he was ending wars.

Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.

A DHS spokesperson defended the detainment, accusing Sen. Padilla of failing to properly identify himself during Sec. Kristi Noem's press conference. But multiple videos show Padilla clearly identifying himself as a senator.

"The Trumpian June 14, 2025 parade and celebration will be the successor to that angry insurrection of January 6, 2021—a celebration of 'patriotism' that is deeply anti-democratic, and of a man who is the most authoritarian president in American history."

What should’ve been a day of joy turned into a day of fear. In L.A. County, ICE raids are disrupting graduations, grocery runs, school drop-offs—even life itself. Parents, kids, teachers on edge. A celebration overshadowed by the threat of being taken. #BlueSky #MedSky #NewsSky

SEN. PADILLA: “Saying I lunged is a lie, but that’s par for the course for this administration… I was behind the cameras listening, and at a certain point hearing Noem say they had to rescue LA from the Governor and Mayor was too much to take. So I raise my voice to ask a question.”

Goldman: "These are people doing in the right way, who are nonviolent, noncriminal, and they're getting arrested. So what message does that send? Obviously it sends the message, 'Go further underground. Don't appear in court. Don't pay your taxes' ... that's just going to make the public less safe."

I love seeing another Militant Grammy, like me!!✊👵🪧

All a bit dystopian isn't it

What they aren’t showing on Fox News

Hey politicians!! This is really not the time to be asking for money. We know that you will need funds for your campaigns and I'm sure we'll be there for you... but right now we have to focus on other more important shit!

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

Man, fuck this guy. What a disappointment.

@pelosi.house.gov: "On January 6th...we begged the president of the United States to send in the National Guard. He would not do it...And yet, in a contra-constitutional way, he has sent the National Guard into California. Something is very wrong with this picture."

the leader of the Proud Boys chapter in Chicago, Edgar J. Delatorre aka Remy Del Toro, was spotted at the protest today in federal plaza.

CA Gov. Gavin Newsom: This is about all of us. This is about you. California may be first, but it clearly will not end here. Other states are next. Democracy is next."

okay so it seems like Miller is basically running roughshod over Homan, which probably means more Home Depot raids and more meatpacking plant raids, like we saw in Omaha yesterday (or today, i cant remember)

Terry Moran, if you’re reading this: the door is open.

Misinformation about LA Ice protests swirls online: ‘Catnip for rightwing agitators’ Many posts spread the idea that mayhem overtook LA while police confrontations were limited to a small part of the city www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Move all peaceful protests to red cities...

We got Denver, Milwaukee, Atlanta, NY, L.A. and Chicago Protests going on right now.

This is dangerous and disgraceful. Let’s be clear: This isn’t about “conflicts of interest.” It’s about consolidating power, pushing conspiracy theories, and gutting our ability to respond to public health threats. www.cnn.com/2025/06/09/h...

Via @kelciemmorris.bsky.social: A decision is imminent in three of the four cases that will determine whether individual health information for legal reproductive care remains protected by a 2024 federal rule under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).

Why are they wearing red berets?

An LAPD helicopter claimed to have ID'ed protesters from above and threatened to "come to your house." The threat was greeted with extreme concern by civil liberties and digital privacy groups. It suggests the LAPD could be using facial recognition to identify and retaliate against protesters.

MSNBC: Does everyone who has been arrested by ICE agents have a criminal record? TOM HOMAN: Absolutely not.

Peaceful protest is the bedrock of our movement. Thousands demonstrated exactly that – coming together to demand the release of David Huerta and to call for an end to the cruel, destructive, and indiscriminate ICE raids that are tearing apart our communities. #FreeDavidEndRaids

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

Also a Veteran supporting my Oath I gave many times throughout my service! Deploying Marines is unacceptable, it’s an illegal move again American Citizens!!

...what are we doing as a nation? No really. Marines? For a non-violent protest? You fucking serious?

Newsom: "Arrest me. Let's just get it over with, tough guy. I don't give a damn ... Tom, arrest me. Let's go."
