Funny how the “pro-life” crowd goes silent when it’s starving babies in Gaza. Guess life only matters to them when it’s convenient.

Any man panicking over women warning each other is waving a red flag. If you treat women with respect, a safety app shouldn’t scare you. If it does—you’re telling on yourself.

Chief Justice Roberts says the rule of law is eroding like we’ve rarely seen. Maybe he should’ve thought of that before ruling the president is above the law. You don’t get to burn the house down and act shocked it’s on fire.

Workplace raids. Courthouse arrests. Armed agents in neighborhoods. Over 23,000 detained most with no violent record. ICE isn’t protecting anyone. It’s punishing people for existing. The war on immigrants is alive and well, and it’s escalating. We cannot stand by and watch it happen.

They say “protect the children" Then ban books Cut school lunches And refuse gun laws This was never about kids. It was about control.

Slavery was legal. Segregation was legal. Internment camps were legal. Legality ≠ morality. So don’t talk to me about “law and order.”

Donald Trump this morning; “Anybody who protests on Sunday will be met with very heavy force.” The American people have a right to protest. It is in our constitution.

The problem has never been with immigrants, they are a vital part of our growth and our community. The problem is billionaires, and of course, the billionaires want to shift blame onto a marginalized group to keep our eyes off what they are doing to all of us.

Anonymous - ICE raided Los Angeles elementary schools in an attempt to kidnap small children. They hid their identities, claimed they weren't ICE, & lied to school authorities that they had "permission" from the parents to take the children out. School officials luckily didn't fall for it. #cdnpoli

What are the Marines doing in Los Angeles?

Conditions are shifting. Expect icy fronts to spread well beyond Los Angeles by tomorrow. Initial efforts aimed to freeze traffic and attention in LA, but local crews appear to have salted the roads early.

Those on the ground in Los Angeles live streaming are the most reliable resources on the situation. Los Angeles is not on fire. The protests are peaceful. They become dangerous when the cops start to use force against the crowd.

For decades, Sec. Kennedy has spread lies about vaccines. Now, his misinformation will lead to preventable illness & death. Firing independent experts is a dangerous move that makes it harder for Americans to access vaccines that are safe, effective & essential to saving lives.

I cannot stand y'all bitching about trans athletes. Trans people are estimated to make up 1-2% of the population of the United States; however, trans people make up less than less than 0.002% of US college athletes, and even fewer of recent Olympians (0.001%) identify as trans. Leave them alone.

The "illegals" concept is so wild from a country that colonized and took over a standing nation without mercy in the upmost cruelty. Nobody is illegal on stolen land.

Telling people to not wave Mexican flags in a place called LOS ANGELES is crazy. The southern boarder of the United States is heavily Mexican-American. We are not divided, stop trying to divide us.

The use of national guard by the Trump administration to the people of Los Angeles is dangerous escalation that is meant to provoke chaos. The administration does not want to protect people, they want to protect their power and are attempting to do so by stoking fear into our communities.

Thankfully this is just an executive order, for now. However, this lays groundwork and paves the way for martial law to be declared here in the United States. Let's talk about why this move from President Trump is important for all of us. 🧵

Let’s talk about Oligarchy. It’s not a buzzword—it’s a real system where a few people hold power over the many. Not because they were elected fairly. Not because they earned it. But because they control wealth, media, corporations, or military power. Sound familiar?

Yes a shutdown would have consequences. And a Republican President, Republican House, and Republican Senate would be responsible. They have acted in a unilateral and unprecedented way. Democrats cannot cave. They must fight back.

America was founded on the concept of checks and balances, but Republicans in Congress are bending the knee to those who seek to gut our government from the inside out. We have the power to stop the cessation of power to Donald Trump and Elon Musk. I urge a no vote on the CR.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

The Heart Nebula, a cosmic beauty of stardust pulsating in a shimmering constellation, radiates with the warmth of a celestial embrace. "For small creatures such as we, the vastness is bearable only through love." — Carl Sagan, from Cosmos (1980)
A digital rendering of a nebula with a striking heart shape, illuminated by vibrant gold and orange hues at its core, encircled by ethereal blue and teal gases. Scattered throughout are numerous sparkling stars, adding depth and a sense of cosmic wonder. This astrophysical marvel serves as a stunning representation of stellar formation, revealing the intricate processes unfolding in space.

How many of us here have had social security and medicaid taxes taken out of our checks? These are not just free handouts, we the American people have earned these benefits through hard work. We deserve to access these programs without the rich oligarchy wanting to privatize it and run us dry.
