Yesterday I was so PROUD to stand with LGBTQ+ New Yorkers alongside my friend and our Democratic nominee for Mayor, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social!

As we’ve reported before, ICE facilities are rife with human rights violations. Now, the Department of Homeland Security is trying to hide them, formally requiring members of Congress and their staff to give seven days’ notice before visiting immigration detention centers.

Just so incredibly embarrassing

This is worth seeing again and again. In a world of suck ups and sycophants, be a Queen Maxima of the Netherlands and never be afraid to mock a fool. #cdnpoli #uspoli #QueenMaxima

Supreme Court - corrupt Congress - corrupt President - corrupt It’s checks and checks all the way down

Trump calling a press conference to gloat about his Supreme Court is very much in the same quiet part out loud vein as bragging about giving Iran permission to bomb a US base.

Only two possibilities: 1) Six Supreme Court Justices are very stupid people, who simply didn't expect this practical impact of their rulings even though it's happened multiple times before. 2) They're into it. I don't think all of these highly educated high achievers are stupid.

How much for a Supreme Court Judge? Asking for a Country

Birthright citizenship is the law of the land. The decision today by the MAGA majority Supreme Court doesn't change that.

The US is stupid for having Supreme Court judges for life. When judges are identified as liberal or conservative they no longer have the impartiality needed to dictate the law or justice. The supreme court should be filled similar to jury duty drawing from a rotating national fed & state judge pool.

I'm not a huge fan of citing the Founding Fathers (after all, they endorsed slavery and denied women the vote), but I think it's obvious that they'd be aghast to see today's Congress and Supreme Court surrender their power to an aspiring dictator.

From every video, LAPD escalated

This would be a great time for the police to clean up their act and create a better image of caring for the community, but they choose the same old fight is might as they always have.

Chicago congresswoman @repdeliaramirez hands Kristi Noem a letter of resignation and encourages her to use it 👀

The neighborhood is getting ready for tomorrow

From a dear comrade who was kind enough to let me share their video. Veterans stage a sit-in on the US Capitol steps and say, “Military off our streets!” Hell yeah!

An Army vet heading to the VA took a wrong turn—and was detained by Marines in LA. While they acted professionally, their detaining him was likely illegal under the Posse Comitatus Act. It’s another line being crossed—and it puts our Marines in a bad spot. www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

Great job, Marines! He was a veteran who had business in the Federal Building. Trump is a fucking asshole.

Marines going against their own oath, they are now no different then brown shirts.

About 200 Marines rolled into Los Angeles early Friday, assigned to “protect federal property" only. Bullshit! One squad executed the first known Marine detention of a U.S. civilian on domestic soil without the Insurrection Act in force. How long before they kill somebody by mistake?

About 200 Marines moved into the Los Angeles area on Friday to stand guard at federal buildings in the city, freeing up more National Guard soldiers to support federal agents on immigration enforcement operations.

While the National Guard and Marines are just standing around doing nothing in California, maybe they could pick up some trash or hand out food at a food bank.

As Trump puts the Marines on the streets to manhandle and hopefully not kill US citizens, realize that this is another example of how Trump divides America. We respect the military and Veterans. But if we have another Kent State on steroids, the public will turn against the military. Division.

Marines have detained an American citizen in Los Angeles. Another line crossed. Marines are trained to protect American citizens , not arrest them.

Marines in Los Angeles, remember, your oath is to the Constitution, not the sitting president. Maybe you're afraid to be the first to call out the treason taking place. When Marines ignore the law of the land, this country is doomed. Never forget your duty to your country and the people you defend.

The few. The proud. The Marines…detaining a guy in a floral patterned shirt for getting too close to a building or some shit. www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

The Marines cannot arrest. MARINES broke their oath. MARINES ARE ENEMIES OF THE CONSTITUTION @governor.ca.gov

Donald Trump just weaponized U.S. Marines in L.A.—detaining a U.S. Army vet with zip ties outside a federal building. This isn’t protection. It’s authoritarian theater, a grotesque show of force aimed at scaring lawful dissent into silence. Rights

Whatever small shred of naive romantic exists within me is hoping that the Marines making their first on-camera arrest be of the coolest looking vet in Los Angeles is a form of malicious compliance.

Wait… The Marines detained a veteran on his way to the VA today? Donald Trump’s Gestapo is vile.

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.”

Mark this for the history books: “We’re talking about the president exercising his authority, and the president is of course limited to his authority. That’s the difference between a constitutional government and King George,” said Judge Charles Breyer.

1940 This speech was so powerful and to think we still need it in the 2025! Not normal! Time for change💙

Newsom had previously requested the administration return thousands of National Guard troops to his command.

AOC isn’t afraid of the fascist threats.

AOC is always on top of it! I am so proud to support her!!!

GOTCHA, Palmer!!! God, I love Alexandria. She is fearless!!!👏👏👏👍💪🔥

Palmer: Charges should be brought against each one of you AOC: Raising the prospect of charges against witnesses is a form of intimidation is it not? Palmer: I strike those words

58 years ago, the Supreme Court struck down laws banning interracial marriage. Today, we celebrate the love and legacy of Mildred and Richard Loving. #LovingDay

@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."
