Why Colbert's cancellation marks a dangerous new stage for the culture at large

Jesus. The juxtaposition of these two posts back to back is just...

ICE crossed a line in LA

"There's a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people." - Commander William Adama, Battlestar Galactica

Friday is National Gun Violence Awareness Day & all weekend long, thousands of people across the country will #wearorange to bring awareness to this national health crisis. If you are in LA, we have a few wonderful events. Check out wearorange.com for one near you! 🧡🧡🧡 @momsdemand.bsky.social

Wow. Listen to Bruce Springsteen kick off his European tour, talking about what is happening here.

HORRIFIC: On Mother’s Day, a man in Montana shot and killed his wife, 27-year-old Katie Olson-Hartley, and their two young children, ages 6 and 7 months.

😬😂

As a California @momsdemand.bsky.social Volunteer, I know record-low CA homicide rates isn’t accidental – they're thx to effective programs like #CalVIP. As Trump cuts ≈$1B in public safety grants, CA must protect this success. CalVIP funding ensures these life-saving programs continue. #ProtectCVI

@momsdemand.bsky.social @studentsdemand.bsky.social vols met lawmakers for #AB15 equitable access to justice homicide victim families #AB1127 Stop DIY Machine Guns #CalVIP break deadly cycle of gun violence We will never give up for a future free from #gunviolence #caleg @ferrellzabala.bsky.social

I hate it here so f’n much.

Shout out to California @momsdemand.bsky.social volunteers for ALWAYS showing up to support gun safety legislation. #AB1489 passed through Assembly Public Safety🎉Thanks to Assemblymember Isaac Bryan for your leadership on this bill, alcohol and service firearms def don’t mix!

A @vanhollen.senate.gov appreciation post. He has always been there for us. I stand with him and wish him safe travels to El Salvador. BRING KILMAR HOME!

Good morning. Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors. It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

We've reached The New York Times is posting graphics on who Trump can snatch off the streets and send to a gulag in El Salvador stage of his authoritarianism.

It looks like they are really doing this. Wow this is nuts.

Me ✋

Sotomayor is right. According to this Supreme Court, the US can now kidnap, detain, and fly legal immigrants and citizens to a foreign country's prison, even if it's a whoopsie. America, people. Freedom and stuff.

She’s back!

Three years ago today, six people were killed and 12 people were wounded when gunmen opened fire on people in the streets of downtown Sacramento, CA. At least one shooter used a Glock switch—a device that turns a Glock into an illegal machine gun capable of firing up to 1,200 rounds per minute.

If you’ve never been to Florida’s 1st district, you cannot fathom the depth of the maga insanity there. My husband’s family vacations there every summer so we’ve spent a good amount of time in Destin and along the gulf coast. The fact that Gay pulled the margin this close is tremendous.

Let’s go Gay! @momsdemand.bsky.social

Thank you Sen. Booker💙 We have been desperate for this kind of passion and leadership. I hope it inspires more elected dems to meet this moment.

Senator Cory Booker is only a few hours away from breaking Strom Thurmond's record for the longest speech on the Senate floor (24 hours and 18 minutes). Every single Democratic Senator needs to be like Senator Michael Bennet out there helping Cory with his filibuster! Come on, Cory!!!!!

18 hours and 45 minutes in, and Cory Booker is still going strong! 🔥

The one thing you can count on every year in DC 🌸 #TidalBasin #CherryBlossoms

Immigrant women say they were held "like animals" in ICE detention and subjected to conditions so extreme they feared for their lives. bit.ly/4iAbXbW

If Republicans don’t care when children are killed by preventable gun violence in schools, they also aren’t going to care when they die of preventable illnesses like measles.

Since January, SpaceX has received over $560 million in government contracts—an amount projected to surpass $2 billion in taxpayer funding by year’s end, averaging roughly $6.1 million per day. Follow the money and see where it goes.

The world feels upside down & some days it’s almost paralyzing. Knowing that I have this entire state of badass advocates working along side me, helping to keep us safer, gives me hope ❤️ HUGE thx to all the CA @momsdemand.bsky.social vols, survivors, students & comm. partners for always showing up.

CA @momsdemand.bsky.social doing the work!

Legislators whose ancestors were large slaveholders have a current median net worth five times larger than their peers whose ancestors were not slaveholders: $5.6 million vs. $1.1 million. Wealth stays within rich families across multiple generations. This power is significant. #USDemocracy

"...let me just say it's important for people to know when it's time to go. We're going to have conversations, I'm sure, in the foreseeable future, about all the Democratic leadership." -- Sen. Bennett Mr. Schumer needs to step down. Sign the petition: www.change.org/p/boycott-co...

pretty good representation of the mask off era here

Our volunteers descended on the state Capitols in Oregon, Tennessee, and Washington State this week to advocate for a host of life-saving gun safety measures, and to ensure lawmakers know we will keep showing up until meaningful action is taken. #ORLeg #TNLeg #WALeg

At a House Judiciary Committee hearing on guns, Rep. Kevin Kiley joined a chorus of gun extremists who are claiming that a new bill to update California’s self-defense laws—AB 1333—would “effectively overturn the Castle Doctrine.” #CALeg

We had a great morning in Sacramento inviting CALeg lawmakers to meet with us to talk about gun violence prevention laws. #KeepGoing @momsdemand.bsky.social

CA @momsdemand.bsky.social volunteer leaders have developed powerful, strategic plans to hold the gun industry accountable. Firearms remain the leading cause of death for children in the United States, but together, we can change that. Text READY to 644-33. @everytown.bsky.social

Apparently, allowing Americans to file their tax returns for free is a bad thing. A big gift to the Big Tax lobby and a big middle finger to Americans.

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.
