(🚨) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: TRUMP DECLARES L.A. RESIDENTS TO BE IN “REBELLION AGAINST THE AUTHORITY OF THE GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES” This declaration may well be a prelude to martial law. He’s illegally federalized the Guard in California and this looks very like the pretext he was waiting for.

It’s not merely Trumpism. This has been the conservative project for decades going back to the 1970s. The entire right-wing messaging apparatus exists solely to divorce the population from reality. And the agenda? Putting entrenched wealth out of reach of our democracy. Elites don’t want to pay.

ICE trains its agents to lie constantly about literally everything. Nothing they say is reliable. No charge of obstruction they might levy is legitimate. ICE is a fascist disgrace and should be abolished—immediately.

This country wasn’t just entirely built by immigrants, it still only runs because of immigrants

ER doctor here! Please seek medical attention (go to the ER) if you are hit in the head with a ballistic. “Less lethal” weapons kill people all the time, in addition to causing permanent disabilities. If you don’t feel safe disclosing that you were protesting just say you were hit in the head, etc

🚨 THREAD: What just happened in Los Angeles is not normal, and it differs from past deployments of the National Guard in key ways that you need to understand. This is a breakdown of the history, the playbook, and why this move reeks of bad faith.

Follow Tina. She’s in the middle of this developing story

Earlier today ICE agents hit someone with a car and tear gassed a neighborhood, sparking several fires and disrupting businesses. Immigrants, by contrast, did not.

ICE are a clear and present danger to every person in the United States. They're a fascist gestapo operating without any accountability. Abolishing ICE is the compromise.

Statement from Gavin Newsom: “The federal government is taking over the California National Guard and deploying 2,000 soldiers in Los Angeles — not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle. Don't give them one. Never use violence. Speak out peacefully.”

Fake emergencies to justify crackdowns-not very original

WOW: The Trump regime is officially too fascist for the *LAPD*

Reminder: Trump wants to invoke martial law. I’m not saying don’t fight back, we all should in large numbers. Because when we push back in large numbers, TACO Trump always backs down. Read the article on 3 areas we need to watch right now #Voices4Victory www.aclu.org/news/immigra...

Hands Off! was the biggest day of civic protest in years. We want next Saturday to be even bigger — with more people in more places driving even more defiance of Trump’s fascist agenda on No Kings Day.

NEW: Paramount, California is a battleground right now. Riot police are using tear gas and what sounds like flash bangs/stun grenades against those protesting ICE’s deportation raids. Clearly some injuries (at 45 secs here). (🎥Credit: KNX News)

ICE isn’t rounding up migrants at Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ meatpacking plants. They're provoking riots in Los Angeles. I wonder, is this provocation laying the groundwork for a pretext to declare martial law? And then I remember all those many tanks shipped to DC, the home of so many protests.

Kids will be kids... #TrumpMuskFeud

Elon Musk used DOGE to spread wild anti-Social Security conspiracy theories, which led to the gutting of the Social Security Administration’s staff and longer wait times, and briefly listed the SSA headquarters as “for sale.” He will not be missed ❤️

The Trump Administration has been clear that its vision of “efficiency” involves Americans waiting in longer lines for less reliable information, so that the ultra-rich can get a trillion-dollar tax cut.

SHAME: more than 50,000 Americans will die every year as a result of Trump’s plan to cut health care to cover tax cuts for the rich.

For WEEKS, Republicans have ducked questions about what would happen to the 16 million people who would lose health care as a result of the cuts in their Big Beautiful Betrayal Bill that cuts trillions in taxes for the wealthy.

These are masked men, with weapons, no warrants and this is extrajudicial abduction, and with local police aiding and abetting this thuggery. It is illegal under international human rights law. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/07/u...

Reminder that our Constitution guarantees due process to ALL persons — not just citizens — and enshrines habeas corpus as a fundamental right. Either everyone has due process — or no one does.

Seriously? Are we really going to have a military parade? At the cost of millions of dollars? While cutting aid the nation's poor? My latest from The Baltimore Sun #Trump #TrumpParade #cartoon #satire

Donald Trump V Elon Musk.

I've heard that if you break up with someone in public, they will be too shy to create an embarrassing scene. I've also heard it doesn't always work. #ElonMusk #Trump #MAGA #TrumpVsElon #ElonVsTrump

For Americans — including Trump voters — feeling queasy over what’s been carried out in their name, it’s not too late to convey to Congress your support for life-saving foreign assistance. www.commondreams.org/opinion/elon...

In the 42 years since the start of the Reagan revolution, bought-off politicians have so altered our tax code that fully $51 trillion has moved from the homes and savings of working-class Americans into the money bins of the morbidly rich money hoarders. https://trib.al/O1jiyie
