Billionaire Walmart Heiress Urges People To ‘Mobilize’ At June 14 Anti-Trump Protests The 76-year-old Christy Walton has aligned herself with “No Kings,” an organization planning mass protests across the country this Saturday.

#ProudBlue
Christy Walton backs the No Kings movement and peaceful protests. While she owns 1.9% of Walmart stock, she has no role in company decisions. She co-hosted a fundraiser for Kamala Harris and gave over $700,000 in political donations last year.

We may disagree on many things, but we stand together on the fundamentals.

We are relearning the meaning of “solidarity.” This is absolutely vital.

My Russian blue, Anya, can't figure out her new toy. She's definitely interested, but not smart enough to get it.. at least not yet! Maybe she'll get it eventually!

Any soldier at Fort Bragg shouting "Hooah!" in support of a draft-dodging wannabe dictator while echoing his lies — you’ve violated your oath, the Soldier’s Creed, abandoned the Army Values, & turned your back on everything the uniform represents.

Trump manufactures a crisis in LA For years, President Trump has dreamed of mobilizing the military against protesters in the United States.

1. Trump has publicly and privately fantasized about deploying the military on US soil against protesters for years.

In LA, with little justification, he has made those dreams a reality, violating longstanding democratic norms.

He has manufactured a crisis.

Let's review the history.

🧵

Downtown L.A. is “declared as an unlawful assembly” area. There is only one person responsible for this and it's the rat bastard in the White House🤬

Sane Americans have declared all future Cabinet Meetings as Unlawful Assemblies!✊

Prosecution of Judge Hannah Dugan undermines centuries of legal precedent | Opinion Beyond judicial independence, this prosecution threatens public trust in judicial system and in its ability to access courthouses without fear.

The arrest of Judge Dugan is part of the five-alarm fire for our democracy

Prosecuting a judge for how she runs her courtroom is an attack on democracy

Judges Gertner & Luttig explain exactly why her arrest is a slippery slope for all our freedom

YouTube video by Senator Elizabeth Warren Republicans BURIED a line in their bill that would help Trump officials ignore court orders.

Republicans BURIED a line in their "big beautiful bill" that would help Trump officials ignore court orders.

One problem? It violates the Senate's rules.

I’m going to fight to strip this provision out. And we need everyone in the fight against this bill.

Who is this man? He’s a leader!!!

it is imperative that the media and the dem party begin to explain that whats happening in LA is what “mass deportation” is, there is no way to do it without jackbooted government thugs kicking down doors and ripping your neighbors and friends from their family

Martial law might be next. Fear is the product they’re selling. I’m not buying—and neither should you. Here’s how to stay calm, stay sharp, and stay in control when the chaos hits.

CNN commentator laments LA protesters who "just hate the government"

If your response to this video is, “That’s what I voted for”—
Fuck you. Fuck you very much.

You’re heartless.

It is completely unlawful for ICE to turn away members of Congress like this. The law could not be more clear; no member of Congress may be denied access to a facility where ICE is detaining someone, and they cannot be required to schedule in advance. Surprise inspections must be surprise.

Los Angeles Unified School District
Superintendent Alberto M. Carvalho didn't hold back when expressing his anger and "contempt" after agents with Homeland Security attempted to gain access to two elementary schools earlier this week.

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

CW: Mounted police using batons to beat person who is on the ground, while the horses simultaneously stomp them #acab #abolishice #chingalamigra

Whats happened in LA over the weekend is pathetic. Once again we see the commander in chief agitating and escalating shit.

On another note, it doesn't seem like dems were "overreacting" when we said the fate of democracy depends on this election.

LAPD fired rubber bullets at Australian journalist @laurentomasi.bsky.social

There is probably a good reason for that

Adding the right background music changes everything!

We need to childproof the government so it’s safe for future generations. Get money out of politics (FU Citizens United), make the 3 branches of government truly independent, fix broken red states so they function & pull their own weight, fix police forces (I see you 1312), tax the rich

Things that make me most pessimistic about urbanism in North America:

1. Gov’t attempts to pause/remove bike infrastructure (TO, HFX, Edmonton)
2. Building code hostility to family-friendly dense housing
3. Transit construction costs
4. Urban NIMBYism making walkable neighbourhoods more exclusive

Tom Homan says he was taken out of context by a reporter when he threatened to arrest Gavin Newsom.

"The NBC reporter that interviewed me is very dishonest. We did a 20 minute interview and he cuts out a little clip and takes my words out of context."

Jonathan Lemire: "NBC stands by its reporting"

Man holding a U.S. flag and a red banner that says, “Stop the deportation of veterans. If they fought here, they should stay here. Honor the promise.”

So much this…
