For anyone who thinks I'm joking here (and it's funny, but no) rumor is that the National Guard deployed in LA was sent under a 29 day order to avoid housing allowances, which means they have to fully pay for their own shelter. In LA. Zero notice. Durable fascisms don't shortchange the muscle.

It is completely unlawful for ICE to turn away members of Congress like this. The law could not be more clear; no member of Congress may be denied access to a facility where ICE is detaining someone, and they cannot be required to schedule in advance. Surprise inspections must be surprise.

what people seem to believe is that there is a large number of criminal, layabout immigrants who can be easily found and deported. they support doing so snd are dismayed by the deportation of otherwise law abiding people. the problem is that the criminal group is imaginary!

This is sort of what happened with DOGE. They were convinced there was a mountain of easily-detectable waste and fraud that a handful of folks equipped with "common sense" could root out & eliminate in a manner of weeks. And there wasn't. But they had promised headlines about big cuts...

hey don't forget to turn off biometric access to your phone and if you did happen to forget, in an emergency, pressing the power button 5 times on your iphone will lock it & it can't be unlocked again without the passcode even if you were silly & left face ID on 🙂

Seeing a massive divide online between Angelenos of all political stripes who understand that the protests in LA yesterday were mostly peaceful and any violence was ICE-initiated and East Coast establishment liberals lecturing “the left” on how riots just amplify right wing talking points.

This is really key. Scream at them, berate them, try to find ways to hurt their feelings and play on the insecurities that cause ICE agents to get jobs like that in the first place. That’s all peaceful.

Huh. Another violent, attention-grabbing incident happened right when the Internet was full of reminders that Trump is in the Epstein files.

Keep the sequence of events clear in your mind: ICE was preparing to snatch day laborers from a Home Depot in order to meet deportation quotas set by Trump. Community members protested. ICE responded with flash-bangs and tear gas. ICE started it and ICE escalated it. Period. #LosAngeles

Deploying the military on U.S. soil as law enforcement against Americans was on page 555 of Project 2025. So don’t say “I didn’t vote for this,” because you did. This isn’t a response. This was always their plan.

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

I will remind everyone that tear gas is an abortifacient and hormonal disruptor. In 2020 we were trying to conceive. The day after getting teargassed, I bled worse than I ever had in my entire life. My periods were not regular for about 6 months after.

If Todd wants us to see ICE agents as real people, maybe they should treat their targets as real people, wear clearly visible ID, and not pull their neck gaiters up to their sunglasses. Just spitballing here.

I do not understand this tendency among journalists to reduce every political event to a prediction about whether it will be a lasting news cycle. On the merits, we have a billionaire who helped a fascist get into power and now believes he can dictate policy. That matters! A lot!

We must also sit down in solid, straight-backed chairs and pray that Trump and Musk don't get so mad that they just start releasing all the blackmail material they've been collecting on each other. May they act like the mature, restrained adults that we know they are.

Oh, gosh. I hope Trump doesn't try to seize Elon's assets or try to arrest all the DOGE kids for spying and data theft. That would be a terrible overreach, and you know how Trump hates those.
