They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.
moments ago, ice agents again came out of the broadview detention/“professing” facility to escort a silver suv out of the lot.
one of the agents picked up and threw congressional candidate kat abughazaleh to the ground.

Gavin Newsom is holding a press conference today on redistricting and DHS agents have arrived masked up and in full gear. Many are armed with guns.

The best love stories are simple ❤️
Four years ago today I confessed to a friend that she might be the love of my life. Two years later, she took me to Dublin to celebrate Bloomsday together and we stayed up drinking old fashioneds and dancing on the roof. I love you, little fox ❤️ thank you for making my life so damn whimsical.

They say it can’t be done, but here we are, California is generated 106% of California’s entire state electricity demand from renewables.
California has a population bigger that 154 other countries around the world. It’s the 4th largest economy, in the world.
Let that sink in.

Great turnout for the Tesla Take Down rally in Lisle, IL over 600 residents came to speak out against DOGE, Elon Musk and Donald Trump.
We stand against unelected dictators that are working to dismantle the federal government.

"I didn't see the cyclist/pedestrian/horse rider/mobility scooter user because of the sun" should be treated as an immediate admission of guilt to driving dangerously and carry the maximum sentence.
If the sun is preventing you from seeing clearly ahead, stop driving.

Ever wonder what snow in the swamp would look like? This is 5 miles into the Louisiana swamps in the Atchafalaya basin... it's unreal... having lived down there for the first 28 years of my life, we never saw anything like this.

Here's the reality about the #LAFires this week: this isn't the first time ANY of these places have burned. Not even close. In 2018, we mapped CA fire history to look at fire frequency across SoCal. Santa Monica Mtns area burns more than anywhere else -- up to once per decade in a given spot. 🧵

I find eminem fascinating because he's truly one of the great contradictory artists of our time. Take the line "love is evol spell it backwards I'll show ya" , elite wordplay that almost nobody else would think of while at the same time being one of the tritest sentences ever written in english.
