What’s happening in NJ? “Four detainees at Newark facility have escaped” Here’s what they’re not telling us: People held at Delaney Hall Detention Center went nearly 24 hours without food or adequate water. When they were finally fed, all they received were a couple slices of bread.

In addition to #NoKingsDay let’s not forget tomorrow is also #BarackObamaDay on social media. Let’s keep it trending, especially on Twitter, while we’re protesting.

SHARE this as a reminder to EVERY member of our military: “We don't take an oath to a King." "We don't take an oath to a wannabe dictator” “We take an oath to the Constitution." #FreedomToDissent #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Now watch this video knowing all this: "FBI ‘Escorted’ Him To Trump DHS Presser They Claim He Crashed" www.mediaite.com/media/news/s...

Not all SHeros wear capes! Brava to this woman at the Kennedy Center as she reminds the felon & those in the audience exactly who he is. #TrumpIsAConvictedFelon

How dare Mike Johnson threaten Alex Padilla with “censure?” Or “whatever!”HE has absolutely no authority over a SENATOR. Shame on him.

ICE racially profiles Native Americans, the People of the First Nation, the real citizens of America! They look as if they regret pulling these wonderful ladies over. They get an earful.

Here’s a video of Trump where he proudly killed President Obama’s nuclear Iran deal as war breaks out in the Middle East.

A 23 year old electrician from Brentwood speaks out out after a disturbing encounter with federal immigration agents handcuffed him, leaving him shaken, despite being a United States citizen. This is racial profiling , harassment, and it’s unacceptable!

In a time of fear & threats, Seattle’s incoming Police Chief Shon Barnes just reminded us what real courage looks like. A Marine, a leader, & a defender of the Constitution—he stood up for our right to protest and pledged to keep his city safe, not silent. This is what public service should be.🇺🇸❤️

I am reading - well meaning - posts about the utility of migrants. Here's the deal - yeah, they work exceptionally hard and pay taxes, but more than that - they are people. They bring rich cultures that includes arts, music, foods and more. We are a better society with inclusion.

Seems important: "FBI ‘Escorted’ Him To Trump DHS Presser They Claim He Crashed" Padilla says he "didn’t “barge” into the presser, he was signed in and escorted, and was listening in the room for 10 minutes before he tried to ask a question" www.mediaite.com/media/news/s...

Residents of Los Angeles danced and sang the day in resistance against Trump’s cruel illegal deportations which is tearing families apart. They’re sharing their beautiful Mexican heritage proudly. Joy is a form of resistance. 💙

I am no attorney but is it possible that those officers committed a crime against Senator Padilla under California law? If so, I want some arrests and prosecutions. Take the #GlovesOff #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue

The Marines detained an American citizen, a civilian, in Los Angeles 🤬🤬🤬 The man has been released but this proves the military follows Trump’s orders and is not properly trained for dealing with civilians on American soil. Everyone should be outraged! www.theguardian.com/us-news/live...

Medgar W. Evers (1925-1963), was a civil rights activist and a United States Army veteran who served in World War II on the beaches of Normandy. His family fights efforts by Trump to strip his name from a Navy vessel in an attempt to erase his legacy as well as our history.

OH NO! LOL 🤭😆😏😉😂 #NoFauxKingWay

🧵 1/4 This video was too long & needed to be broken into 4 sections Despite that, this Southern man’s message to his fellow southern men & “not the politicians & bootlickers pretending to know bourbon from Boone’s Farm, the good ol’ boys that can bait a hook & throw a punch” is worth the listen!

This did not age well.

The ONLY King America ever needed! No Kings Day tomorrow 6/14 find your nearest location nokings.org

1/2 Protesters at the front make noise. But those on the perimeter protect the truth. We need people filming from the edges—tracking police, documenting violence, watching for agitators. It’s safer, it’s strategic, and it keeps the story honest. If you’ve got a phone, you’ve got power.

#SaveMedicaidKillTheBill Medicaid cuts will strangle and close rural hospitals. People will die.

Nancy and her son Charlie went to D.C. to show Joni Ernst who her budget cuts would hurt—kids like him. She wouldn’t meet with them. They left with nothing but lip service, while Ernst filmed a mock apology in a graveyard. This isn’t leadership. It’s cruelty. #SaveMedicaidKillTheBill

1/2 Rep Eugene Vindman is far better prepared to be the Secretary of Defense than Whisky Pete Hegseth. Hegseth has no shame. Refusing to apologize to a fighter pilot & his mother for putting the pilot’s life in jeopardy. Hegseth is a disgrace to America and the military. Call for his resignation.

Trump issued another statement saying ‘if you spit, we will hit’ giving the militarized National Guard permission to use physical violence against peaceful protestors. This rhetoric is similar with ‘when the looting starts, the shooting starts.’ Be prepared, peaceful, and safe out there! 💙

#ProudBlue I’m so proud of my Senator! Proud of my Governor. Proud of my state! Thank you, Senator Padilla.

HISTORIC ESCALATION: U.S. MARINES DETAIN AMERICAN CITIZEN IN LOS ANGELES 🇺🇸 For the first time in modern U.S. history, active-duty Marines have reportedly detained a U.S. citizen on domestic soil; without the invocation of the Insurrection Act. Let that sink in.

Some heroes work their magic in teams.... Man, I cannot even voice how much I love these fearless women! ♥️ "We're LIVE. This is going everywhere!...This is some fucked up shit you guys are doing, and you KNOW it!" 🎥 #EndIce Credit: Crime Watch of Downey, CA, Melyssa Rivas

Here are some tweets on X by Captive Dreamer and he’s followed by VP JD Vance. ‘racism doesn’t exist, Blacks just aren’t smart enough to fly planes.’ ‘Arabs are low IQ and extremely low on impulse control.’ Not surprising. This is vile and disgusting.

This is amazing news. Ramos is a fearless reporter who doesn't hesitate to speak truth to power. "Jorge Ramos, the legendary newsman who had been keeping a low profile since leaving Univision at the end of last year, has been on the ground in L.A."

Turns out DEI hires that include those who speak Farsi are not only needed but essential as Israel and Iran are on the brink of a nuclear war.

The United States of America 🇺🇸 will always be a democratic nation. We do not bow to kings here. Stay strong. Stay safe. We are the voice of the nation. Vetted pack of wonderful humans. Smash the Follow All tab! #NoKings

1/3 Hey, if you’re not able to attend #NoKings events in person—whether it’s because of chronic pain, disability, mental health, caregiving, work, or just needing rest—you don’t owe anyone an apology. Your voice matters. Your safety matters. And you are still a powerful part of this movement. 💙

Pete is 100% correct: "Today they have crossed a deep red line. We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty." #USDemocracy

Watch Scott Bessen get Bernd 🔥on the billionaire tax break Sanders: Explain to the American People why you think that’s a great idea. -Uh I think that this will increase small businesses Sanders: Oh come on your smarter than that-This is nothing more than a gift to billionaires

Thank you, @reptedlieu.bsky.social, for doing the right thing and urging everyone to go out & righteously, peacefully exercise our freedom of speech & assembly! I am a constituent and I applaud you and other Democrats when you fight! #DemsGrowASpine #CallYourRep #PGAS CA36 app.sosha.ai/s/6lIZJV7f

The Iran deal was keeping nukes off the table. Trump shredded it in 2018 just to spite Obama. Now Israel hit Iran, and we’re about to pay the price. He didn’t prevent war, he built it. 😡 Here is his press conference in 2018 saying what he did:

I tuned in for the pre-mobilization call last night. Of the many important takeaways, something @maxwellfrost.bsky.social said bears repeating: Winning movements are those that "win hearts." ♥️🎶♥️ Our fight is a fight for GOOD. So, let's take our righteous joy to the streets tomorrow! nokings.org 🚫👑

#MorningVibe Over the last few days, people have taken to the streets of downtown LA to protest ICE raids, filling the air with chants and songs. Music has the ability to inspire, unify, & amplify the fight for equality. #FreedomToDissent

This what happened today at the capital, now This is what you call peaceful a protest! 💥 youtube.com/shorts/ZAuC9...

Protest actions like ‘Hands Off’ and ‘No Kings’ are sweeping across the US. And the media are barely paying attention !! But if protests grow large enough, and sustained enough, even the most reluctant media will have little choice but to pay attention. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Joe Biden's last statement as President was to members of the military He said, "Remember your oath." 😢 US marines carry out first known detention of civilian in Los Angeles – live www.theguardian.com/us-news/live...

Iran is run by really bad guys. I have no tears for them. But it didn’t have to come to this. Trump tearing up the deal Obama made to keep Iran’s nuclear ambitions, which was working, opened the door to for the escalation of conflict between Iran and Israel. Now innocents will suffer with the guilty

Spot on 💥🙄

"When is enough ENOUGH?" asks Senator Padilla @padilla.senate.gov. "I understand" the plight and struggle and sacrifice of immigrants, documented and undocumented, who are just trying to, "raise a family and have the next generation have a little bit better than you." 💔 #StopTheRaids

Ya don't say! Keep up pressure on Senators Demand they #StopTheBillionaireBailoutBill @resistbot 5calls.org #WeAreDemocracy #DemsUnited #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1

Marcelo Gomes Da Silva, the 18 year old abducted by ICE in Milford, MA, was asked today by @massgovernor.bsky.social what he wants to do when he grows up. He said he originally wanted to be a plumber. But now his mom thinks he should be an immigration lawyer.

#ProudBlue I am immunocompromised & suffer from crushing fatigue. It would be almost impossible for me to attend a protest. This video means a lot to me. I really want to be hitting the pavement & often feel guilty that I can’t do it. #mecfswarrior #Dysautonomia #chronicillness #Mecfs

1/7 We are in propaganda war, & we are not the audience.The goal isn’t to impress fellow activists. It’s to reach the voter who catches 15 seconds of TV at gas station. A TikTok scroll on break. A headline in passing. What do they see? Fox’s fear, or our truth? #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue

apnews.com/article/trum...  Appeals court won't reconsider ruling that Trump must pay E. Jean Carroll $5M in sex abuse case Pay up orange dude!

Republican arrested and charged with distributing and possessing child porn. The videos included him having sex with girls who appeared to be under age, which would constitute rape. Why is it always the GOP? #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory apple.news/A-8lyx5DRTfC...

Hey everyone! Guess whose special day it is? That’s right! It’s Barack Obama Day! Remember-Obama gave us healthcare via the ACA. He would never take away our healthcare! We appreciate President Obama for all of his awesomeness! Enjoy his special day! #ProudBlue #OneV1

🌀 Trump's plan for FEMA: The bluer your state, the worse off you'll be. The poorer your state, the worse off you'll be. The greater your state's diversity, the worse off you'll be. As @nickknudsenus.bsky.social says, "It's like one fuck you after another!" He's politicizing the WEATHER! 🎧⬇️

Finished our double-sided signs for #NoKings protest tomorrow. Show me yours! #WeAreDemocracy #DemsUnited #DemVoice1 #USDemicracy #Voices4Victory

This Pride is a PROTEST. We are taking action all month long, including this Saturday, June 14th: We will be joining the 1,500+ No Kings rallies across the country to remind Donald Trump that he does not ‘rule’ this country—the people do. Find more ways to get involved: hrc.im/NoKings

Doge, the boys, have our social security information as well as almost every federal government agency that exists. Soon the IRS will be added to the list. We are literally living in communist china being tracked 24/7.

💥 BREAKING: Best Buy shareholders voted to reject an anti-DEI proposal at their annual meeting today (tally TBA), as recommended by Best Buy Board. Proposal asked Best Buy to end its relationship with the Human Rights Campaign's Corporate Equality Index, a benchmarking tool for LGBTQ+ initiatives.

You would never know it from watching Fox or Sinclair or scrolling through facebook & twitter, but LA is actually not on fire. Local news has solid on-the ground, fact-based reporting about the protests but much of it is getting drowned out by Trump's propaganda partners. My latest:

Over 1900 protests in 50 states include millions of people expected Saturday to show Trump the US has “No Kings”. Americans are rallying to take back our country from an egotistical, incompetent, demented man-child. Join one! #NoKings #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory apple.news/AFiPgWLflRJW...

Trump is afraid of us. He whined today that he isn't a king, because he doesn't get everything he wants! He has sads about that...which is what makes him a mad king. Let's make it more clear for him: No tyrants. No dictators. No Nazis, no gestapo. No ICE, no Marines attacking us. #NoKings!

1/3 ICYMI: The House passed a $9.4 BILLION “DOGE” rescission package that guts funding for global HIV/AIDS relief (PEPFAR) & public broadcasting. It’s a death sentence for millions around the world and at home. Now, it is heading to the Senate where it only needs a simple majority to pass.

#ProudBlue #ResistanceUnited #Pinks #BreakfastCrew Sending love to our BlueSky family. For those protesting tomorrow, please stay safe.

We have $134 million to send troops to LA to suppress peaceful protests, but no money for food or healthcare. Got it. Still, $134mil is cheap compared to what we spend on Felon47s golf outings. #FreedomToDissent

#ProudBlue Nothing but FACTS!! According to what we have been taught, we are NOT radical. We are following the rules pushed my our Government & Christianity. The question should be, who radicalized MAGA?

Trump charging $5 million for citizenship. So where does the money go once it is collected? Asking for taxpayers who are tired of footing the bill for Trump’s messes while he gets rich at the expense of the country. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory apple.news/Ass5HaVtdSyW...

#ProudBlue #RU #Pinks Each of us can make a difference by standing up against injustice. We can do the right thing even when it’s hard. Thank you to those who are at the protest today. You are on the right side of history. And thank you to those working behind the scenes, as well. #HeroesAndSheroes

dontcallmelys (IG) has some important information to share about protesting. resource: Deepa lyer, Building Movement Project.

Per ABC News Live -TACO is saying U.S. will defend Israel. WTF? Did WWIII just start?

FACT: Slashing Medicaid is DEEPLY unpopular FACT: covering 50% of those in nursing homes is not fraud FACT: covering 40% of all births is not waste FACT: funding healthcare is not abuse FACT: the Big Ugly Bill will kill an estimated ~21k of us a year #SaveMedicaidKillTheBill

This weekend, we #TakeOurStand to #SaveThisPlanet and SAVE DEMOCRACY #BlueEarth #OV1

What to do tomorrow: #NoKings

Veterans take to the Capitol 👇👇👇👇👇

Murmur to skies, with curses cold and grim, Shadows pulse, storms wail, as fates grow dim. From blackened veils, tears slash, blood’s refrain— Vanity parades drowns deep in welcomed rain. #NoKings

Eric Swalwell: DHS Secretary Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.

The reason this & acts like this will continue to happen is that the Republicans know that if the discourse remains civil they lose . Noem knows she can’t explain what “liberate LA” means. They all know they can’t allow Sen Padilla a platform to speak truths!

Look at this. Arresting an elderly vet for peacefully protesting at the Capitol in DC. Look at the video. #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory #NoKings #FreedomToDissent

It is a US senator’s job and responsibility to question the executive branch. It’s called checks and balances. Trump has been trying to take away Congress’ power since he became President in 2017. Mike Johnson is helping him. This is why we march. #NoKings #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory

Trump is admitting his immigration policy is a big disastrous failure. #USDemocracy #Voices4Vistory Make his words into a big add for the next campaign to defeat him! newrepublic.com/article/1968...
