We're racing towards fascism in America. People who tell you to calm down or still do a "both sides" framing should be ignored moving forward. Don't even waste your time with them. Organize and resist. Local, state, national level.

AOC: We saw Republicans vote to completely gut Medicaid, which covers nearly half of all births in the U.S. They did this despite the fact that the U.S.—the richest country in the world—also has the highest rate of maternal deaths among all wealthy countries.

In essence, Bondi declared that the president, through the attorney general, has sweeping power to arbitrarily favor companies or individuals and exempt them from federal laws that he believes interfere with his foreign policy powers. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/tru...

Went with the whole family to see Superman last night. From start to finish, LOVED every last moment of it!!! Brilliant cast, perfect script, so much FUN… many 🙏s to @jamesgunn.bsky.social for getting it so right. 👍 Also: Is there a fan club for Krypto the super-pup I can join? #woof

SPOILER An underreported point of Superman is that billionaires got ordinary people to turn on Superman by convincing them he was there to "take harems & breed them out of existence," — which is verbatim the white supremacist replacement theory MAGAs are using to fear monger & demonize immigrants.

Next up: sue this administration! A disabled vet says he was wrongfully detained in last week’s Camarillo raid, despite being a U.S. citizen. • Reporting for his security job at Glass House Farms • Told them he was a citizen • No charges. No phone call. No lawyer. • No care after chemical exposure

Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum may sue the U.S. over immigration raids after a Mexican national died fleeing an ICE operation. “We are also looking at the possibility of reporting there because it is unacceptable. It is being reviewed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs,” she said.

Because I do not believe in any religion I don't rely on any kind of delayed magical retribution for all the horrors and I feel like more people need to get on board with the idea that any consequences these people face will have to be man-made

Yesterday’s announcement of the official call to action begins now. It is just after 6 am in California. We wait to see how many farmworkers join the #StrikeForDignity They asked for just three days, “They will not fire you”. They can say this bc they know no one can do what they do.

Can’t wait for acceptance

Good. President Trump's deployment of thousands of federalized National Guard troops to LA is a dangerous abuse of power intended to scare people who oppose his draconian anti-immigrant policies into silence. This partial reversal proves what we already knew: When we fight back, we win.

In case I wasn’t clear…

ICE's new policy could detain millions of undocumented immigrants for months or years without bond hearings, forcing them to fight deportation from behind bars. This comes just days after Congress allocated $45 billion to expand immigrant detention capacity to 100K ppl/day. #BlueSky #MedSky #NewsSky

Accountability was on the table this morning at the LAPD Commissioners Meeting today. The violent acts from LAPD upon civilians and press since June 6th has caused a massive uproar of lawsuits and hospitalizations and a demand that police records are exposed. In two parts. Part 1/2

Never before in U.S. history has one man exercised such unbridled discretion affecting the lives of so many, while simultaneously preventing others — Congress, the courts, the American people — from having a say or even knowing what he’s going to do next. This is dictatorship.

This is not the act of a legitimate government.

Bass: We had a big victory in Los Angeles, and this is an example of what happens when Angelenos stick together. The Trump administration got the message—they’re withdrawing 50% of the National Guard troops who should never have been sent here in the first place.

THIS is what courage looks like.Today, striking farmworkers bravely stood in front of cameras, the community, and the press, risking their jobs, safety, and future. To speak the truth. About the stolen wages. About the years of being unheard. This is a movement. And today was a turning point.

Holy shit Whale sharks

Crockett: Earlier someone was talking about cities being hellholes. Los Angeles contributes almost 20 billion in taxes. That’s more than all states in this country except for four.

The Supreme Court should preserve the status quo until legal questions are resolved and explain the disposition of cases for the public. They are abdicating basic principles of equity and failing to fulfill their institutional role. They aren’t pretending to try. There isn’t even the veneer of law.

This is a smart move by Fed Chair Jerome Powell. By proactively requesting an independent review of the D.C. headquarters renovation, Powell is doing exactly what leaders should do when under politically motivated fire: call for transparency and let the facts speak louder than spin.
