This is the cycle: raid, escalate, criminalize the response, send in troops. ICE raids are not neutral, they’re psychological warfare on communities, and now they’re using military backup. This isn’t enforcement. It’s state-sponsored intimidation.

This entire thread is incredible. Thank you @lorennacleary.bsky.social

It has begun.

Earlier today ICE agents hit someone with a car and tear gassed a neighborhood, sparking several fires and disrupting businesses. Immigrants, by contrast, did not.

ICE detained a US marshal because he "fit the general description of a subject." Basically, they racially profiled their own kind.

California representatives did a check in where migrants were being detained. They found no beds, no food and no water. Children were among the detained.

Greetings! I’m here on Alondra Boulevard in Paramount, CA. The pro-immigration protesters are still squaring off with police nearby. Even hours later, the air still noticeably hangs with residual chemical munitions. Ground littered with spent munitions.

“They want everyone to believe what they believe. When Trump changes his mind about something, then you need to believe that, too. It’s functionally a totalitarian political view that says, ‘You’re allowed to think and say what I want you to think and say.’”

But keep telling us how they care about the debt and efficiency. This colossal waste will stand as a historic monument to his malignant narcissism.

This is a major escalation: threatening to turn the US military on its own citizens. This is NOT allowed! This dumbass has no idea what he is doing!

All of this was pre-planned. Every bit of it! Prove me wrong…

We’ve been in touch with local law enforcement in LA. They have the resources they need to meet the moment, and we stand ready to assist should the need arise.   There is no emergency and the President’s order calling in the National Guard is unnecessary and counterproductive.

What's happening tonight is anything but law and order. Don't be deceived.

Here's a second live feed of the LA protest tonight: www.youtube.com/live/

Due to the major significance of the LA protests now ongoing, and Trump's efforts to inflame the situation by seizing control of the California National Guard and sending 2,000 troops in to quell what he has called a "rebellion", I am making this my pinned post tonight. youtube.com/live/G5MfqiO...

President Trump is at the UFC as the National Guard is deployed in Southern California. UFC Fighter Kevin Holland greeting him here.

We @protectdemocracy.org have been saying for years “in the modern era, authoritarianism doesn’t come with tanks in the streets. It’s harder to see coming than that.” Well, we were wrong. Trump’s tanks are here. We are frogs in the water, and it’s already boiling.

(🚨) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: TRUMP DECLARES L.A. RESIDENTS TO BE IN “REBELLION AGAINST THE AUTHORITY OF THE GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES” This declaration may well be a prelude to martial law. He’s illegally federalized the Guard in California and this looks very like the pretext he was waiting for.

Unbelievable — but this is California right now. Trump is deploying the National Guard to Los Angeles. Pete Hegseth is threatening to send active-duty Marines into the state. This is pure authoritarianism. Trump is turning America into a fascist state.

Amidst Pete Hegseth’s announcement regarding the Marines, activists in Los Angeles are hearing that 500 Army members in Long Beach, just outside Los Angeles, were put on standby. The Army is there this weekend for what was to be the largest military exercise in history. @meidastouch.com

The military isn’t being employed to carry out an immigration policy. The immigration policy, and especially the way the administration is choosing to carry it out, is an excuse to call out the military.

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."

Buried deep in the BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL lurk threats to override A.I. regulation, consumer protections & labor laws related to emerging technologies. More threats erode checks and balances in Federal Courts. Say NO to all threats-Call Senators NOW! (202) 224-3121 @lwvus.bsky.social @lwvva.bsky.social

Tom Homan: We are making Los Angeles safer. Mayor Bass should be thanking us. She says they are going to mobilize—guess what? We are already mobilizing. We are going to bring the National Guard in tonight

We don't have secret police in America. At least we're not supposed to.

Trigger warning ⚠️ ICE hits protestor with car in LA today. This fucking administration is out of control. CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES CALL YOUR SENATORS ☎️ 202-224-3121 They need to be accountable!

ICE is detaining people in LA in a basement with no beds, no air, no light and not enough food and water. These are crimes.

What country is this?

VETERAN: “This is why they can’t wear masks. Because people like this exist… if you want to snatch people off the streets, do it in uniform, and show your damn face.” (@MarshaBlackburn’s Secret Police bill criminalizes transparency and threatens 5 years for naming an ICE agent)

‘Some cry all day.’ ICE detainees face harsh conditions in Miami federal facility “There is an access-to-justice crisis here,” said one lawyer. “There is a due-process crisis.” #Immigration By Claire Healy , Syra Ortiz Blanes, Verónica Egui Brito June 7, 2025 www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

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

This is so wrong. All to feed the ego of a mad tyrant who never had the balls to serve. This is not what we do in America. This is so fucking wrong. Makes me so sad. And so angry.👇

ICE agents or bounty hunters? A raid at Home Depot on Wilshire in Los Angeles earlier today. What’s disturbing is that they’re wearing masks and vests you could buy on Amazon. They’re in unmarked cars, and I don’t see any IDs on the officers — regular SUVs with standard plates.

This administration will twist facts...dodge questions...and smear reputations....anything to avoid saying the one honest thing about Kilmar Abrego Garcia: “We were wrong.” The arrogance is staggering...and the damage they’re doing to justice is unforgivable.

So are we just teaching our kids they have to obey anyone with a mask and an unmarked car and an oddly-fitting vest and zip ties now and go with them? Is this where we’re at?

AND THEN THEY CAME FOR THE TRADE UNIONISTS...

🤔

This is how Trump is going to give Enrique Tarrio and company a big payday, to thank them for helping to lead his attempted overthrow of the U.S. government. He'll tell the DOJ to settle, and they'll get lots of money to use to help overthrow the government again.
