Vans full of handcuffed kids. Just arrived. Los Angeles, Ca Federal Building Tonight, 7/12

Are you noticing how many of Carney’s align with Trump? #cdnpoli www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I don’t know what to say

He got shot in the head by a tear gas canister, but @acatwithnews.bsky.social reported on three days of escalation and violence by the feds in Los Angeles for Hell World anyway. www.welcometohellworld.com/it-is-happen...

Do you have plans when the Emergency Broadcast System announces that America is now under martial law if not start making them now. Get ready be prepared.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

Good morning 🦋

“You’re going to see more work site enforcement than you’ve ever seen in the history of this nation. We’re going to flood the zone.” What set off the clashes in LA? Workplace ICE raids—from Home Depot to the garment district—as the Trump administration seeks to increase deportations at all costs.

The city of Glendale, in Los Angeles County, announced today that they're quitting an agreement with ICE thad allowed ICE to house its detainees at the Glendale police department. mynewsla.com/crime/2025/0...

ICE crossed a line in LA

NEW: Abrego Garcia is getting a lot of attention, but many people are asking about the rest of the men being unlawfully held in CECOT. Here's what's going on with them. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/so-what-ab...

Poilievre rushed to safety after actual journalist question makes it past security

I don't think this photo gets the attention it deserves.

This is what should be on every front page right now. What's happening in the US right now is an illegal power grab by a private citizen. IT'S A COUP. It's a digital coup. It's Musk who's leading it. The consequences are terrifying. And it's coming for us next. 1/ open.substack.com/pub/broligar...

"Can't spell tariffs without FFS" is my new fave mnemonic (h/t Catherine Cullen from CBC's The House)

I’ve been saying that. Never mind tariffs, USAID, LGBTQ whatever. It’s all about the #USTreasury.

Where are these well regulated militias I've heard so much about?!

The men carrying out Musk's coup are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran. Make them famous. And, eventually, when possible, arrest them and charge them with multiple felonies. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

A reminder of what to look for when buying Canadian. Product of Canada is 98% Canadian.

Susan Collins is now concerned. 🙄🇨🇦

It’s worse. Musk control communications to the civil service & the means to make disbursements from the Treasury. It’s a coup.

I really hope that our 🇨🇦 leaders have made it clear that we'll throttle power exports starting Saturday.

I know him a notorious liar, Think him a great way fool, solely a coward; Yet these fix’d evils sit so fit in him, That they take place when virtue’s steely bones Looks bleak i’ th’ cold wind.

I've finished my journal entry for today. Now it's onto the Handmaid's Tale S2 Ep9

A brief glimpse behind the curtain:

People arguing in my mentions that bipartisanship is good still can’t accept that the GOP is serious about one-party rule. they’ll continue to compromise us into state failure

Do you all remember when Tuberville, the moron Alabama senator, was able to individually hold up ALL military promotions? Why aren’t we doing the same? And more. No ambassadors. No judges. No anyone. Make every damn person require the whole fucking process, taking months. @adamschiff.com

Of all the changes FOTUS has made, what worries me most is removing the constitution from the website. It's a clear sign of disdain and a strong signal of intent.

@gilduran.com is essential reading to understand why the tech oligarchs were on stage with Trump yesterday while the GOP Governors were put in an overflow room. To say this is all about tax and budget cuts is off. We didn't elect Romney-Ryan. It's much weirder www.thenerdreich.com/with-j-d-van...
