To anyone who wondered, what could go wrong if we elected as president a highly volatile, deeply dishonest, simple-minded cretin with a revenge fetish, the answer is THIS. All of THIS.

BREAKING: Kamala Harris issues statement on Los Angeles.

Things are escalating fast on the freeway in Los Angeles. Tear gas canisters are being kicked back and forth

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

Los Angeles: don’t take Trump’s bait. Trump wants chaos and he’s instigated violence. Those who assault law enforcement or cause property damage will risk arrest. Stay peaceful. Stay focused. Don’t give him the excuse he’s looking for.

Hello. I live in Los Angeles. The president is lying.

A DOGE staffer developed an AI tool that hallucinated the size of Veterans Affairs contracts. For example, it concluded that more than a thousand deals were each worth $34 million, when in fact some were for as little as $35,000.

That fall popped all his neck rolls out and everything. Tough day.

Martial law might be next. Fear is the product they’re selling. I’m not buying—and neither should you. Here’s how to stay calm, stay sharp, and stay in control when the chaos hits. www.jackhopkinsnow.com

"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

Every accusation is a confession.

"Nothing strengthens authority so much as silence." Leonardo Da Vinci

Booker: "We have a president who did nothing as people stormed our Capitol, & then when those people who viciously beat police & led to some of their deaths - therefore cop killers - were convicted, he pardoned them. So for him to be talking about responsive law enforcement is hypocritical at best"

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.

NEWS: Donald Trump declares protestors can no longer wear masks but ICE agents can, LA is preparing for 30 days of national guard deployment, and Trump is meeting with top officials shortly. All the news you missed overnight: open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...

One apparent reason why GOP legislators are getting cold feet about proof of citizenship laws for voter registration: They’re worried about disenfranchising their own voters, advocates say. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

The United Farm Workers, along with the entire labor movement, stands in strong solidarity with our comrade, labor leader David Huerta. We demand his immediate release and condemn indiscriminate sweeps targeting working class immigrants.

There is no bigger story right now than the White House asserting that California residents are in a state "of rebellion against the authority of the Government of the United States."

This isn’t even remotely legal what he is doing.

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.

Big point that is being missed: without the insurrection act, the activated Guard troops are now federal army and cannot Do law enforcement. Period

Better safe than sorry… 🚨Heavy ICE Presence Expected in Los Angeles on Sunday. A bilingual warning is being shared with the community — including areas to avoid. Stay alert. Protect each other. Know your rights.

Silence Is Complicity Straighten your spine Speak & live your truth

I seen enough, time to balkanize this MF 😳 Split up into 50 countries with EU style trade agreements and Nato security pacs. 🤔

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

“Tasted a little tear gas— tasted like fascism”

Federal immigration agents in riot gear squared off with hundreds of protesters for a second consecutive day on Saturday in Los Angeles County, filling streets with tear gas and smoke. nyti.ms/4kUON0y

Thank you!! 💚✊ We asked you to record everything, photos, videos, all of it, and you showed up. You helped us capture the truth. So proud of every one of you. Tomorrow, there will be more of us. We love you all!

My message to the National Guard. Please stand down on being forced to remove immigrants. Each of you knows this president is wrong by not giving the immigrants due process. Please stand down.

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple. Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

This is really bad www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

It feels like our country is being swallowed by lawlessness emanating from the White House.

All we want is healthcare.

Ahem.

What happened to states’ rights, Kristi?

We were warned. People chose to ignore it. Now this is our reality.

And there you have it. ICE didn't target migrant workers in Kristi Noem's farms or Sarah Huckabee Sanders' meatpacking plants because they wanted to create a riot in LA as a pretext to declaring martial law. They don't care about undocumented migrants, they only care about controlling US citizens.

What country is this?

The federal government is moving to take over the California National Guard and deploy 2,000 soldiers. That move is purposefully inflammatory and will only escalate tensions.

Now everyone will go look up the book and it will make NY Times. #sighs #booksky #writingcommunity

Video from about an hour ago as less than lethal rounds are being used against protesters in Southern California

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.

Welcome to America, where protesting illegal kidnappings without due process is an insurrection, but attacking the nation’s Capitol is not.
