ICE is basically going after people based on their skin color, race, or ethnicity. They’re detaining U.S. citizens and people who have a right to be here. It’s mass racial profiling.

Cool so now female vets and queer vets get to feel even more othered and anathema at the VA than they already do. The same way they did while serving. Cool. Yay. If there is a god and there is a hell, I hope she is hard at work creating a special level of hell just for these sadistic assholes. 🤬🤬🤬

Spread this. LAPD must be held accountable for assaulting people in the streets for no justifiable reason besides for cruelty.

We join with @slindivisible.bsky.social in mourning the death of Arthur Folasa Ah Loo, a peaceful protester who was shot last night at the march in Salt Lake City. Our hearts go out to everyone impacted by this tragedy.

If passed, the SAVE Act would limit access to our democracy for millions of eligible voters. The House has already passed it, but the Senate can still stop it in its tracks. Tell your Senator to REJECT this bill in defense of our voting rights.

We're normalizing January 6th now? That time when an insurrection happened in our Capitol and people lost their lives? This is absolutely disgusting. And also extremely out of touch with reality. Bend the knee a bit more @washingtonpost.com

Today’s the day fam. Here’s a few tips for a successful outing! 1. If you’re in the DMV area, don’t be. Head out to the Baltimore scene instead. Don’t be anywhere near the spectacle happing in DC today.

🚨🚨🚨 I’ve recently learned that several federal law enforcement agencies are soliciting for volunteers from inside to be cross-trained in riot control and to also serve as protective officers for federal facilities. This isn’t new, per se. The federal government has done this before… 1/

Following in his parents footsteps, Shane Ortega enlisted in the Marine Corps in 2004. Shane, who is Haudenosaunee-Tuscarora, states that “Native Americans serve more than any other demographic of people.” 1/3 #AltVet #Pride #LetThemServe #HappensToBeTrans #TransMilitaryBan

What happened to @padilla.senate.gov at Secretary Noem’s press conference yesterday is beyond reprehensible. Throwing down and handcuffing a sitting U.S. Senator for standing up for his constituents is unlawful overreach and the Administration’s attempt to suppress all opposing speech.

The SkillBridge program is a DoD initiative that allows active-duty service members to gain civilian work experience during their last 180 days of service. It connects service members with private & public sector org internships, apprenticeships, or other industry-sponsored work experiences. -- BUT

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.”

Gov. Mike Kehoe has activated the Missouri National Guard, declaring a state of emergency due to civil unrest, even as no evidence existed of riots or other widespread violence in the state.

HAPPENING NOW: A federal judge is set to hold a hearing on Governor Gavin Newsom’s request for a temporary restraining order that would bar the Trump administration’s use of the state national guard amid protests against immigration raids in LA. Hearing starting now before Judge Breyer 🧵⬇️

Active duty don’t often speak to the press but their families can. In case you were wondering how the military feels about everything going on in LA here you go.

Sen. Alex Padilla says he was asking a question when he was forced to the ground and handcuffed at Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's event. No charges are expected, sources say. Read more: cnn.it/3FU0e9S

In late 2024, a former partner outed Khalid leading to the artist having to go public. Well, this clip below is from him performing at a Pride event. This is so moving to see all the support for him.

I am literally begging reporters to stop calling illegal shit “charting new territory” or other crap like that. Most of the public doesn’t know the law and they are counting on you and you are dropping the goddamn ball.

Abby Tighe was a federal servant in the division of overdose prevention at CDC. Her day-to-day job was working closely with local organizations to develop programs and initiatives for kids and teens, in order to keep them from smoking, drinking and using other drugs and substances.

Twice, I've posted about Memorial Day - about the effects living veterans have as they navigate loss amongst the Happy Memorial Day wishes & about the traditions of remembrance kept at the grave sites. Then...there's this moron who isn't worth a single button from one American uniform.

Watch and listen. Passionate and honest @replsimon.bsky.social lets the world know what is happening if this budget is passed. Unbelievable cruelty upon those who need it most. And after hearing this, those in the committee still voted yes. Do you think they'll go to the public to say why?

U.S.-citizen pediatric cancer patients are getting deported, 401k's have plummeted, Head Start/school lunches/anti-lead-poisoning programs are getting defunded, global allies hate us, Pentagon chief is leaking war plans But at least Trump is pumping up a fake holiday that comes in October
