Hello everyone.

Antifa is not a real organization.

Proud Boys are.

Oath Keepers are.

Patriot Front is.

KKK is.

Heritage Foundation is.

Antifa is not.

Thanks for your attention.

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Los Angeles County declares state of emergency over immigration raids

Los Angeles County officials voted on Tuesday to declare a state of emergency over ongoing federal immigration raids.

OK, I had a lot of behind-the-scenes, admin work to get done today.

I’ll be at SCOTUS in the morning, covering another effort from the right to kill off what little is left of the Voting Rights Act.

Here is the Vice President defending adults who said they love Hitler, want to rape their enemies, put their political opponents in gas chambers, and that Black people are monkeys. Just to name a few.

Are these those Christian values JD Vance talks about?

Watching Lawrence O'Donnell. Main Gov. Janet Mills is a total badass. I'll never forget that day she stood up to Trump. Mills is going to defeat Susan Collins and become Main's next Senator. 🙌💪👏✊️

This is about other Nations boycotting the USA bc of the escapades of our ICE nazis. You know how important crowd size is to him. The lack of participation & tourism is just another example of his failed leadership on full display.

As I've noted, central to Stephen Miller's propaganda is the claim that the Chicago complex targeted by ICE was "filled" with Tren de Aragua "terrorists."

Now @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social reports that the number of TdA members netted in that raid is down to *one.*

Proving clothes are optional but political statements aren't, cyclists in Portland held an emergency naked bike ride. Riders bared more than grievances, protesting Trump administration's push to deploy the National Guard in city, which remains held up in federal court.
