The first person arrested by the Marines is an Army veteran who was on his way to work at the Veterans Administration. It appears he was arrested for crossing a yellow line which the Marines did not realize was not designed to exclude federal employees from reporting to work.

Everyday it’s something.

These are the people that make America great 🇲🇽🇺🇸

Kristi Noem has that rare ability to shoot her dog in the face and it *still* not be the worst thing she ever did in her sorry, lying life.

AOC: When they say illegal vs legal immigration—they are trying to end legal status in the US making people undocumented and then they have the audacity to call them illegal when they were here documented.

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."

Reminder that I AM LATINA AND PROUD. I am the product of immigration - my grandmother was undocumented and entered the country from Mexico as a baby. My mother was a fierce, gorgeous Latina woman of Mexican and Spanish descent.

BREAKING: Gov. Newsom is asking for a restraining order on Trump/Hegseth's use of the military in Los Angeles, saying they are preparing to go on immigration raids with ICE. He wants a ruling within two hours. "They must be stopped immediately." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

If you’ve ever wondered what you would’ve done in 1930s Germany — look around. You’re doing it now. We are so proud of the people rising up in nonviolent defiance — in LA, in #Chicago, and in cities nationwide. ❌👑 Join us Saturday, June 14 to protest Trump’s fascist regime: NoKings.org #NoKings

JUST IN ICE agents arrested at least 2 people outside a San Francisco courthouse on Tuesday morning. Video shows protesters surrounding an ICE mini-van with a man inside, banging on the van & opening its doors, trying to prevent the arrest. Protests are growing outside court.

San Francisco swooped in on an ICE van used to detain a person who showed up for Immigration Court ✊

Trump's legal basis for federalizing the National Guard and deploying it in Los Angeles is surprisingly weak and vulnerable to judicial pushback—if the courts have the courage to enforce the law as written: slate.com/news-and-pol...

Our National Guard troops are sleeping in squalor in Los Angeles. This is how Donald Trump treats the people who serve us. No respect. No dignity. Just exploitation for his political gain. Call them back. Let local leaders lead. Stop the abuse.

Anti-ICE protesters in front of the federal building in downtown Los Angeles.

Conditions are shifting. Expect icy fronts to spread well beyond Los Angeles by tomorrow. Initial efforts aimed to freeze traffic and attention in LA, but local crews appear to have salted the roads early.

CNN’s reporter on scene in Los Angeles: I’m being detained..

Don't remember this book for some reason

Monday morning truth: it took Tr*mp only 183 days to declare war on Americans.

What future do you want for your children? Is it this? #TheResistance

Remember when Trump quickly called in 700 Marines, on top of 2000 national guard troops and then another 2000 national guard troops for an insurrection, an attack on our Capitol at which police officers were bludgeoned and died? I don't either.

A message from Barcelona

Our priorities are so f'ed up

It’s not a surprise that the man who purposely incited a violent attempt to overthrow an American election would now purposely incite violence on the streets of Los Angeles as a justification for military force against American citizens. Not a surprise at all.

good morning friends 💚✨

The Trump Regime is trying to keep the news cycle from going back to Epstein, his big beautiful failed budget, exploding debt, humiliating trade negotiations in Japan/China, the dying economy, SignalGate and Gaza. The longer we fill the space with LA the happier they are.

Maybe that National Guard and Marine Corps can protect the people from the LAPD.

the biggest redeeming feature of Gavin Newsom is that he’s an elitist snob who is genuinely disgusted by white trash republicans

BREAKING: LA solidarity protesters in Austin are occupying JJ Pickle Federal Building, which houses local ICE processing center

“NO ICE! NO KKK! NO FACIST USA!” Protesters rally outside an ICE facility (26 Federal Plaza) in NYC. NYPD has blocked off the street to the building

Trump prepares to send 700 marines to L.A. The State of California prepares to sue the Trump Admin for "federalizing the California National Guard" without Newsom's permission. LAPD is trampling protestors with fucking horses. It just hurts. You know? It hurts.
