To make up for fewer raids on migrant farm workers, he's doubling down on targeting people in Democratic-run cities, where there are more 📸 to catch the chaos. It's a way to show rural voters he's keeping his promises & to shore up support for BBB. bsky.app/profile/news...

What reason would the Secretary of Homeland Security have to suggest that they can remove the leaders Californians ELECTED?!?! They are using our state as a testing ground for their authoritarian fantasies.

My latest scoop: ICE has rescinded its accountability policy for warrantless arrests, giving agents “free license to make any arrest,” per one lawyer representing victims. It follows @theguardian.com exclusive that the agency was told to “push the envelope” to meet Trump’s 3k arrest quota.

This is like when Russian oligarchs and, more recently, Chinese tech billionaires learned the difference between being a fantastically rich person and being in direct personal control of the state and its powers.

Sources said that even at the start of his second term, Trump was discussing with multiple advisers where & when it would make sense to send in federal troops, either for supposed crime control or in response to larger-scale public activism against his agenda. 🔗 www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

I have always been committed to nonviolence but the way a lot of people are talking about nonviolence right now has really been bothering me, and I realized it was reminding me of @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social’s She Made Him Do It Theory of Everything: www.meditationsinanemergency.com/the-she-made...

Both police and Gavin Newsom with a straight face push conspiracy theories of "professional protesters" who "go from one unrest to the other," while hundreds of literal military troops are being shipped into a city to shoot weapons at working-class people standing up for their neighbors.

Skateboarding dude. Hero of the day. It has to be this kid! He stood all alone while LAPD took shots at him. Kid stood his ground and danced a bit, which pissed off the Nazis more! They tear gassed him. Finally the kid walked slowly away, turning just once to give them the finger! Respect. ✊

This is an important reminder: even the LAPD acknowledged yesterday that everything was peaceful. Then Trump brought the chaos. He is responsible.

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.

Corporate Media is treating military being against US as sporting contest between Trump & US, while completely ignoring the context (1) what ICE was doing with their raids & detentions in LA were insane & inhumane (2) protests were peaceful & under control.

1/ If accurate, this is almost certainly a conflict with the Posse Comitatus Act, which prohibits the use of the military for domestic law enforcement, including the National Guard if they are federalized.
