Trump incited attacks against law enforcement. He then pardoned the attackers. Now he says he won’t tolerate attacks against law enforcement. But what he means is he feels very comfortable using force against those who disagree with him. In fact few ideas are more core to his presidency. Thugocracy.

America's greatest threat is our own Government.

ICE is a much greater threat to this country than illegal immigrants. The current administration ia by far the greatest threat this country faces. The problem is not at our borders. It is in the White House.

@nbcnews.com @cbsnews.com @msnbc.com How is what is happening in LA not getting live coverage? FOTUS federalizing the California National Guard and Drinky Hegseth is threatening to send in Marines. #LAProtests #FascismKnocking

Donold The Felon did this

Feels like we are dangerously close to US military firing on US citizens

Information on Governors' powers when a president mobilizes the National Guard. www.brennancenter.org/our-work/ana...

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.

“They want everyone to believe what they believe. When Trump changes his mind about something, then you need to believe that, too. It’s functionally a totalitarian political view that says, ‘You’re allowed to think and say what I want you to think and say.’”

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.”

Just like in the parks, safety comes first. - Stay with your group - Follow the signs (or in this case, the facts) - Leave no one behind - Document everything - Don’t engage alone

Undocumented immigrants pay almost $100 billion in taxes each year. The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes each year. Stop pretending that immigrants are the ones taking advantage of taxpayers.

I’m surprised that “2 Dolls Donnie” hasn’t come out and said that kids can just eat a little less, since he supports the Big Beautiful Bill that would cut funding for SNAP and impact school lunch programs too.

Result: Gina Ortiz Jones will be the next mayor of San Antonio. The Democrat, and former Biden admin official, just defeated Republican Rolando Pablos in the country’s seventh most populous city. (She’s going to replace a retiring Dem.)

Logic!

Watching MAGA crumble over Leon's Epstein accusations is just perfect youtu.be/RaVm3QtDoxI?...

I really am livid that the rogue Supreme Court has made a decision to allow my height, weight, and social security number to be unsecured information.

They set this up so that the federal government could send in National Guard and make the governor look weak. The idea that governor is weak and president is strong is important for Trump‘s executive dictatorship. Why the Sheriff’s people are armed and in ready position is extremely dangerous.

🚨 ALERTA PHILLY 🚨 Hearing from a very credible local source that there may be ICE action tomorrow (Sunday 6/8) in the following areas: 5th and Washington Ave 7th and Snyder Ave 5th and McKean/Wolf Chinatown Let your neighbors know to stay safe and be vigilant. Be ready. Be water.

I had to laugh at this one because she is so right. Vote for a female guys. It can't be any worse. We are never going to find a perfect president because they are all humans. Humans are imperfect but 250 years of men have proven that we need change. #USDemocracy

If you are National Guard or Active Duty military and you are being ordered to violate the constitutional rights of US citizens then this is the number to the GI Rights Hotline. There is support. You don’t have to go through with it. 877-447-4487

If Americans had a world-view, they would have seen this coming months ago. This is how tinpot dictators take control. Disappear people, create incidents, use law enforcement against your own people. The playbook was published eons ago.

“Strongman” politicians project their supposed strength by attacking immigrants, people of color, and the LGBTQ+ community. But these groups of people aren't the "threats" we should be worried about. Who is? The oligarchs who earn their keep by exploiting the rest of us.

What's happening tonight is anything but law and order. Don't be deceived.

I’m ashamed of America.

BREAKING 🚨 🚨 🚨 The federal government is "moving to take over" the California National Guard and deploy 2,000 soldiers, Gov. Gavin Newsom said today.

What happened to states’ rights, Kristi?

If the president gives unlawful orders, it’s the responsibility of military officers to refuse those orders. It’s imperative the movement maintains non-violent discipline so the military will side with the constitution and the people. We can win if we stand together.

All this could have been avoided. Merrick Garland waited too long. Biden should have replaced him after the first year of no action against trump and the J6 planners.

🚨 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.

I was there, Karoline. The only “violent mob” is ICE, who is “illegally invading” SoCal and attacking its residents. LA will not take this lying down. #50501 #whichsideareyouon #fiftyfiftyone #LAstrong

With you in spirit, LA. ❤️ from Portugal.

The Insurrection Act is sweeping. It’s a huge grant of power to the President. It is also very expressly for conditions that do not exist in California. And if you’re hypothetically the governor, you should be saying so.

It has begun.

Nuts

Pete Hegseth is now threatening to send the Marines into Los Angeles. Make no mistake: this is a declaration of war against the United States.

Silence Is Complicity Straighten your spine Speak & live your truth

Tanks being moved into DC. National guard being mobilized in LA. Paramilitary thugs being unleashed across America. It's summer in America and fascism is in full bloom.
