I have this series of videos for you to see. It is of a woman getting shot in Los Angeles while she is trying to get home.

Now I realize some may not get to see this embedded Instagram post, so here’s the series of videos that I’ve uploaded to WordPress:

If you are going to any protest this weekend, please be extra careful.

Repost: @aclu_nationwide If you’re protesting this weekend, know your rights when interacting with law enforcement, including immigration agents.

National Guard are arriving in Texas, near the Alamo:

President Trump’s federal agents are now chasing migrant farm workers through fields — and circling them with a CBP chopper normally used to track smuggling at the border — in the heart of the nation’s agricultural economy. here’s my report from Ventura County, California.

      People here were trying to get him to run for governor. His wife didn’t really want that so he never ran for office but damn, every time I hear him speak it’s totally spot on and a true example of the best of the military.

    While Trump deliberately escalates tensions in vulnerable communities, don't forget: He's also directing the Republican Congress to pass a budget that would abandon the very people who most need support. http://www.cnbc.com/2025/06/06/h...

      770,000 Illinoisans stand to lose their health care thanks to Donald Trump's newest cruel plan.From cuts to Medicaid to taking away SNAP benefits, he's prioritizing his rich friends over your lives.Now's the time to stand up and speak out against the real threat to Americans.

    This just happened: Sen. Alex Padilla (D-CA) was attempting to question Kristi Noem during an open DHS press conference. Padilla was forcibly removed from the room, assaulted and handcuffed by federal agents. I’m going to try to post the video. B.

    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.

    House Speaker Mike Johnson calls for the Senate to "censure" Alex Padilla after he was restrained and handcuffed by FBI agents at Kristi Noem's presser, adding that it is "wildly inappropriate behavior."So it looks like Republicans want to escalate this!

      Israel is striking Iran. They all can get away with shit because our military is in American cities and our foreign and economic policy is weak and crazy.

        Marco Rubio says US not involved in strikes on Iran while Israeli media outlets are saying the strikes were coordinated with Trump.
