At the ICE raid and subsequent community resistance in Paramount, California this skater kid ate dozens of munitions from Border Patrol agents, walked away slowly and flipped them off. Is this USA’s Tiananmen Square? #TiananmenSquare #SkaterKid #KentStatevibes #ICERaid #LosAngeles #Hegseth

Donald Trump just posted this on his Truth Social account. My phone was burning 🔥 when I saw this. Will this image turn off the percentage of Catholics that voted for him?

There is no such thing as a “deportation error” in a country with due process.

🧵 I worked at the #SocialSecurity Administration for some years. My job required a security clearance to access private records and to release funds from the #Treasury. There is no way that this Tweet #TrumpJr and the unsubstantiated claims from #ElonMusk are true.

Transgender women, those trans women of color, were the ones in front of the Stonewall riot. Propaganda from this administration. Incorrect history.

🧵 If U.S. society functioned, this situation would be the end. Who is in control? Elon Musk seems to be in control & not the elderly, sad-looking man on the sidelines who looks small.
Also, if any woman, elected or not, ever brought her kid to this space, we would NEVER hear the “DEI” end of it.

I fear it can get stupider. As I just informed some friends, Trump tweeted out an AI image of himself in 1920s gangster cosplay. The MS media is calling it “FAFO diplomacy” in light of the diplomatic row with the Colombian president last night

You can’t fix stupid. The way the errors roll out of this administration , maybe Trump’s MAGA government will accidentally place sanctions on Columbia University and those of us who didn’t vote MAGA madness can continue to enjoy our Columbian coffee? 👇👇

Ok #bluesky folks, riddle me this: I received a follower a few moments ago who had copied my entire profile biography. So much in common! 😳They have labeled photographs falsely-Japan when the images are likely Greece or Italy. The follower has since disappeared. Has anyone had a similar experience?

Amigos y amigas, Trump cierra la página web y las redes sociales de la Casa Blanca en español. Toque “go to home page” para ver las tonterías que nos espera.

#Tiktok is back up after a short overnight #tiktokban. Both the shutdown & the welcome back messages issue what amount to propaganda messages praising President Trump, who signed an Executive Order for a ban on August 6, 2020. 1/2
