If you're a Marine or other service member being mobilized to Los Angeles and you'd like to apply for conscientious objector status, call the GI Rights Hotline to get some guidance on your options: 1-877-447-4487

Trump isn’t waiting for chaos—he’s engineering it. This National Guard move in LA isn’t about order. It’s bait. He wants a flashpoint big enough to justify invoking the Insurrection Act. Wake up. This is how power grabs start.

I think it’s notable that ICE isn’t conducting raids in red states, but is instead targeting deep blue states with big migrant communities that will fight back. They want violence to justify more violence. This is fascism 101. We should laugh at them and treat them like the cowards they are.

"They had Mexican flags!!! People should only be allowed to to have the Stars and Stripes, not flags of a countries we were once at war with!!! They should be arrested for this!!!"

Senator Ted Cruz posted a dramatic video of LAPD cars on fire with the caption “this… is… not… peaceful.” What he didn’t mention? The footage was from 2020, not 2025. His post on X falsely implied it was current, part of a broader effort to spread lies and manufacture a crisis.

This right here is pure unadulterated hypocrisy. This is the GOP way. The original post is still up, but I took a screenshot just in case the puppy killer decides to delete it. #ProudBlue #ResistanceUnited #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Is this just kind of like repeat it until you believe it yourself? Your boss pardoned everyone who assaulted law enforcement on January 6th. Ass!!!

Didn’t Trump refuse to attend the dignified transfer of four Army soldiers who died during a military training mission—just to attend a Saudi-backed golf dinner with his billionaire Saudi donor buddies? This parade isn’t about honoring the Army’s anniversary. It’s 100% about boosting Trump’s ego.

"In our federal system, the National Gov. possesses only limited powers; the States and the people retain the remainder. The States have broad authority to enact legislation for the public good—what we have often called a 'police power.' The Fed. Gov., by contrast, has no such authority."-SCOTUS '14

Everyone should say it: The thing about Stephen Miller is not that he is the brains behind Trumpism. Yes, he is one of the people who conceptualizes the impulses of the Trumpist movement and translates them into policy. But that's not what's interesting about Miller. It's not brains. It's bile.

The U.S. Constitution and longstanding federal law strictly limit the use of the military to police civilians. Under the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878, active-duty military forces are prohibited from engaging in domestic law enforcement unless explicitly authorized by Congress or the Constitution.

Breaking: ABC News says senior national correspondent Terry Moran "has been suspended pending further evaluation." This since-deleted tweet is the reason for the suspension:

Healthcare for seniors is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse. Food for hungry kids is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse. A $45 military parade for a draft dodging felon *is* waste, fraud, and abuse. Paying the National Guard to attack US citizens *is* waste, fraud, and abuse.

The Los Angeles Police Department has stated that demonstrations in the city have remained peaceful. Let that sink in.

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.

Fact check

Republicans are on the verge of passing a budget bill that would amount to one of the greatest transfers of wealth from the working poor to the super rich. And two billionaire oligarchs are fighting about it because the bill doesn't cut vital social programs enough. Hello?

Please ignore the travel ban stories. It’s a ploy to get your attention away from the budget bill!

We hope you don't find the etymology of 'tawdry' morally sordid, base, or distasteful.

The guy has so much jealousy inside, I'm surprised he's not green instead of orange.

Murray: Those funds were appropriated by congress and your department was to allocate them and it looks like the department is illegally impounding funding…

Civics 101: presidents are not kings…
