Shameful. Unlawfully deployed troops detaining a veteran on his way to the VA.

From a dear comrade who was kind enough to let me share their video. Veterans stage a sit-in on the US Capitol steps and say, “Military off our streets!” Hell yeah!

If you stand with @padilla.senate.gov, stand with @replamonica.bsky.social. Tell your Reps & Senators how you feel about the charges against her. 202-224-3121 And call the DOJ comment line: 202-353-1555

We are not your children or your servants. You work for us.

Wait… The Marines detained a veteran on his way to the VA today? Donald Trump’s Gestapo is vile.

HISTORIC ESCALATION: U.S. MARINES DETAIN AMERICAN CITIZEN IN LOS ANGELES 🇺🇸 For the first time in modern U.S. history, active-duty Marines have reportedly detained a U.S. citizen on domestic soil; without the invocation of the Insurrection Act. Let that sink in.

Important thread by an outstanding mind and expert in this. Will add a couple of things: 1. I suspect that the Marines were told that detaining civilians was allowable. Need clarification on what their operating instructions are. 1/

Newsom on Trump's military parade: "It's a vulgar display. It's the kind of thing you see with Kim Jong Un, you see it with Putin, you see it with dictators around the world that are weak ... Weakness masquerading as strength ... that's about as small as it gets ... that's Donald Trump."

Newsom: "This is what he does. He creates a problem and then he tries to be a hero in his own Marvel movie ... he initiated those raids. He significantly increased the scale and scope of those raids. That's why he wants the National Guard."

There's a time for nice speeches, and there's a time for deploying every single procedural tactic within one's power to make life hell for unrepentant fascists.

🦋 BREAKING: National Guard storm peaceful protesters Shooting nonlethal rounds & dragging away a protester outside the Federal Detention Centre in downtown Los Angeles There were no signs of any violence or abuse prior to the incident 🦋

Listen to this great American. This nation is privileged to have a man of this character in the United States Senate. Thank you @padilla.senate.gov. We stand with you.

Federal judge rules Trump illegally deployed national guard troops to Los Angeles

So Trump’s pet autocrat is in business with MS-13? Of course he is.

BEYER: Isn't this embarrassing? BESSENT: You seem not to have seen the economic data. GDP growth has been quite substantial BEYER: GDP growth is half what it was last year, sir BESSENT: Job growth is solid BEYER: Job growth is a third what it was last year, sir

Uber doesn't give its delivery or ride share drivers health insurance. Uber workers count on federal health care programs that will be cut under the Republican bill.

These cases--where ICE assaults someone and then ratchets up false claims against them to cover up their own crimes--are connected to the political cases, especially David Huerta, where ICE charged a felony after injuring a prominent union leader.

What they aren’t showing on Fox News

Y'all know what to do

Citizen journalists are how we get the word out about the peaceful protests!

It took THREE WEEKS to get this indictment. I have to ask; how many grand juries did they shop before getting the indictment? www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

At some point we're going to have to stop asking "when is (insert name) going to step up and say he's gone to far" and realize that maybe they are ok with the president's actions. We must realize that no one is going to swoop in and "save" us, it has to be us... we the people. Good morning

We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.

We feed you. They hunt us.

I'm looking forward to having a conversation with @hcrichardson.bsky.social over on Substack later today. Tune in live at 2pm ET.

I would love a drone footage of these troops guarding the federal buildings against no one. @dprzygoda.bsky.social know anyone?

Karen Bass: "On Saturday night, the president tweeted that 'because of the great work of the National Guard, the protests & the violence was curtailed.' The National Guard wasn't even here. They didn't even arrive until the next day. That's why it's very hard to not see this as a stunt or test case"

Newsom: "Democracy is under assault before our eyes. This moment we have feared has arrived. He's taking a wrecking ball to our Founding Father's historic project."
