@timmiller.bsky.social: "The administration wants for things to get out of control. They see it as a political benefit. Trump wanted, going back to his first term, to be able to be more aggressive about calling in the national guard and the military to do domestic crackdowns on protesters."

“This is exactly what Donald Trump wanted,” Newsom said. “He flamed the fires and illegally acted to federalize the National Guard. The order he signed doesn’t just apply to CA. It will allow him to go into ANY STATE and do the same thing. We’re suing him.” Read more www.latimes.com/california/l...

Republicans have no idea what they stand for. They said they would protect Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security — but then they voted to cut those programs. The only thing they really care about is passing a giant tax break for billionaires.

This is beyond delusional insanity, it needs its own new terminology for how devoid of reality it is. This man is a deranged lunatic. I live in L.A., am out doing errands. L.A. is exactly like it is on any other day, with a few hundred protestors in a couple of spots in a city of nearly 10,000,000

Trump keeps taking executive actions that blatantly, flagrantly exceed his authorities under the law and the Constitution. And he keeps losing in court, regardless of WHO appointed the judges. ( Some of them were HIS.) Yet he and his apparatchiks call it a "judicial coup."

“Dr Phil & his camera crew embedded with ICE.” The truth is Obama & Biden each deported more people than Trump, but Trump puts a camera on his deportations bcuz he wants you to think he’s deporting more. And Trump gets off on the cruelty & fear. Hence, the cameras. www.mediaite.com/media/news/m...

If you're protesting, do not participate in violence. Do not throw things, do not vandalize. Stay safe, stay calm.

Large peaceful protest from over the weekend. What doesnt get views on the news is what's actually happening in the majority of places. Peaceful protests that the local police are more than happy to keep safe while occuring. This is what Mayor Karen Bass is calling for to continue.

The Trump administration falsely claims the protesters in Los Angeles are violent people but if you are on the ground in Los Angeles, you will see people from every walk of life. They are protesting the treatment of people being illegally detained by ICE.

This is peaceful protesting while using free speech. Well done to keep cool. Whats also noticeable thats good? The National Guard there seem to be calm and I'm sure they arent looking forward to being there. If you give the National Guard members space, they'll not be hostile while protesting

Good on LA Mayor Karen Bass gave a great message to the city of LA. Protest but do it peacefully. What's happening is NOT right and we all know this. And I'm proud of all the peaceful protests I've seen in the face of foam projectiles, tear gas, flashnangs, batons, etc.

First they unlawfully detain our neighbors. Then they send ICE to deport & rip apart families. Now they're using the National Guard to crack down on peaceful protesters. This is authoritarianism.

Boebert’s messaging here is unhinged and inflammatory. And also belies a complete non-understanding of, anything? Everything? “Illegals” are not rioting. “Military aged men” is a dog whistle for everyone who thinks America is being invaded by terrorists. That call is coming from IN THE WHITE HOUSE

As you see Trump defending his decision to deploy the National Guard into LA and potentially elsewhere, just remember that he did not order the DC Nat Guard to protect the Capitol on Jan. 6. I debunked that lie, told by some of his prominent surrogates, here: www.justsecurity.org/93316/anatom...

Yes. I have heard this from both liberal and conservative people with sources inside the agency. It’s not just the pushback, it’s also that many officers want to believe they’re targeting the “bad guys” and this admin is telling them “screw you, grab families.” Genuinely, morale is way down.

This story exemplifies the reason people are outraged at ICE. This guy did nothing wrong. He broke not a single law. He was a guard at a base that housed US troops. He came here legally through humanitarian parole. He had an asylum application pending. Yet the Trump admin had ICE grab him anyway.
