I’m heartened by our community and our ability to gather and protest without violence and proving that all the kings (wo)men are about blowing smoke up his bum.

I love you America! #NoKings

I’m hoping her injections start to go sideways live on national tv.

More please!

All the time. Preach!

BREAKING:: YESSS:: Judge Breyer - Justice Breyer's brother, has ORDERED the Trump regime to RELINQUISH CONTROL of the California National Guard to GOVERNOR NEWSOM. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Keep it up ladies and gents! Your fight is greater than you, and you, one and all, are greater than all the Pootin pawns combined.

Hey corporate media, do your damn jobs.

Hitler Used a Bogus Crisis of ‘Public Order’ to Make Himself Dictator Using disorder he had helped manufacture, the chancellor seized control of Bavaria.

It’s good to see mainstream media saying something, anything at all, about what’s happening in the White House even if it is sideways and not directly pointed at TACO.

Any tolerance is beyond shameful.

This is accurate, unfiltered footage of respondents.

What the actual f’k?! If I were this person, I would be reaching out to an attorney with video evidence. I hope he/she/they get theirs from these horse fools. This isn’t war! These are citizens! Even if there was cause, I’d argue that the third stomping and throw to ground & +stomping is excessive!!

Maybe that National Guard and Marine Corps can protect the people from the LAPD.

I would love to see a follow up to this, with the stats for how many folks have contacted the group.

Ditto…. Good luck and all that!

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social it would be lovely if you would crosspost to Bluesky.

A proper borb!

10/10 would pay for this workshop!

“Needs a strategic agreement with Russia”… what a waist of breath. Pootin is the least reliable dictator in the western hemisphere. He should stay in the east, Ukraine should join the west. I hope NATO surprises everyone with a welcoming party for Ukraine!

F’ pootin! Slava Ukraine!

Love is the last light spoken.

LA Protests Live Updates: California Will Sue Trump Over National Guard Deployment, Newsom Says California leaders demanded that President Trump withdraw troops from Los Angeles, after police scuffled with crowds protesting the administration’s immigration crackdown.

Breaking News: California will sue President Trump over the National Guard deployment, Gov. Gavin Newsom said, as Los Angeles braced for more clashes over the immigration crackdown. Get updates.

True story bro.

Tallow f’d up my skin. I’d have to cleaning your pores violently, all the time to maintain a clear complexion.

I’ll take the traditional stuff.

The authoritarian public image takes a dozen point dive for every journalist harmed. Just ridiculous. I’m sorry this happened to her and to any of the protestors. The only reason I see violence is the ICE/military presence.

Hon. Pete Hegseth Secretary of Defense Washington, DC 20301 Via email only Re: Federalization of the California National Guard Dear Secretary Hegseth: On June 7, 2025, President Trump issued a memorandum to your office entitled "Department of Defense Security for the Protection of Department of Homeland Security Functions." The memorandum purports to invoke 10 U.S.C. § 12406 to "call into Federal service members and units of the National Guard ... to temporarily protect ICE and other United States Government personnel who are performing Federal functions, including the enforcement of Federal law, and to protect Federal property." The memorandum further directs "actions as necessary for the Secretary of Defense to coordinate with the Governors of the States and the National Guard Bureau in identifying and ordering into Federal service the appropriate members and units of the National Guard under this authority." Section 12406 states that "the President may call into Federal service members and units of the National Guard of any State in such numbers as he considers necessary" to (1) repel an invasion of the United States by a foreign nation: (2) suppress a rebellion against the authority of the Government of the United States; or (3) execute the laws of the United States when the President is unable to do so with regular forces. Section 12406 further states that "[orders for these purposes shall be issued through the governors of the States." Last night, the Adjutant General of California received a memorandum from your office with the subject line "Calling Members of the California National GOVERNOR GAVIN NEWSOM • SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA 95814 • (916) 445-2841

Guard into Federal Service, " which states that "[t]wo thousand members of the California National Guard will be called into Federal service effective immediately for a period of 60 days." Notably, this directive did not issue "through the governorl] of the State[l" as required by section 12406; the Department of Defense did not transmit this directive to the Office of the Governor, nor was it approved or ordered by the Governor of California. This directive is also inconsistent with the President's memorandum, which anticipates "coordination] with the Governors of the States" in identifying and ordering units of the National Guard into federal service. At present, law enforcement authorities from the City and County of Los Angeles are safeguarding public safety, and, as demonstrated by the robust law enforcement response yesterday evening to protect federal facilities, local law enforcement resources are sufficient to maintain order. In dynamic and fluid situations such as the one in Los Angeles, State and local authorities are the most appropriate ones to evaluate the need for resources to safeguard life ano property. Indeed, the decision to deploy the National Guard, without appropriate training or orders, risks seriously escalating the situation. There is currently no need for the National Guard to be deployed in Los Angeles, and to do so in this unlawful manner and for such a lengthy period is a serious breach of state sovereignty that seems intentionally designed to inflame the situation, while simultaneously depriving the State from deploying these personnel and resources where they are truly required. Accordingly, we ask that you immediately rescind your order and return the National Guard to its rightful control by the State of California, to be deployed as appropriate when necessary. Sincerely, Saud of David Sapp Legal Affairs Secretary Office of Governor Gavin Newsom CC. California Attorney General Rob Bonta (via email only)

BREAKING

The administration of California Governor Gavin Newsom is asking Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to rescind his order and return the National Guard to the control of the State of California.

Rounding up people at Home Depot looking for day work and small local restaurants means you're not raiding the factories, meat packing plants, and job sites of big Republican donors.

@economist.com, what’s up with this budget? Shouldn’t you be addressing the proposed ballooning of the national debt with teeth and claws?

You’re a lost outfit if you think DEI and ideologically siding with the right is a better use of your time and voice. An absolute sham at this point.

Which states rely the most on federal aid? | USAFacts A fifth of state and local government revenues come from federal funding.

the right literally has everything to lose. Medicaid. Medicare. Social security. Your base needs these esp. welfare states - looking at you Montana, New Mexico, Kentucky, and Louisiana. Including American health research into cancer.

Public media is facing its most immediate and serious threat yet.

The regime sent Congress a rescissions package that would claw back $1.1 billion in public media funding already approved by law. If enacted, this action would instantly destabilize local public radio and TV stations nationwide.
