Impossible to look at footage of national protests and the parade and not genuinely wonder… how this guy got elected. How did he win 7 swing states or whatever? It just feels like there’s no way.

MSNBC reporter in gas mask in Los Angeles: I think it was Sheriffs deploying CS gas, tear gas, pepper spray, and flash bang grenades in large numbers. Mounted units pushing against protesters.., every single gathering I saw today was 100% peaceful

The belly aching, finger wagging, and pr spin is gonna be nuts tomorrow. Probably for the rest of the week. Hell, I bet the usual suspects cry about No Kings Day for at least a year.

Before the cops in LA started escalating things for no reason it was funny how my main takeaway was how much people were looking out for each other in really helpful ways. I’ve never seen so many people with carts giving away free water, sunscreen, snacks, and masks to total strangers.

LAPD has hit multiple people in the head with high impact munitions. LAPD & @mayor.lacity.gov are trying to kill protesters.

From every video, LAPD escalated

I really think Noem’s plans to “liberate” California from its democratically elected government with military force should not have gotten lost in the news cycle but that appears to be exactly what is happening

This last week is a real demonstration of how capacious, yet flattened the word "violent" is in our political discourse. Political assassinations are obviously, clearly violent. But the same word has been used all week to describe protestors damaging objects--not people, objects.

Big solidarity to everyone out there today. Sending you all the courage, strength, smarts, and luck to stay safe and give'em hell. Every one of you is making it feel like we might actually make it to the other side of this without an authoritarian regime. Abolish ICE. Free Palestine. Trans Rights.

With the tragic assassination of a Minnesota Democratic leader, I’m going to underline this point again.

The assassination of members of the party who is not in power is the declaration of open season on the perceived electoral minority. It is fundamentally necessary to engage in all-out opposition party tactics. Things will not get better.

The head of the department of homeland security announced that she planned to use military force to take over a democratically elected government in the state of California and we are arguing about whether a California Senator properly identified himself at the door.

It looks like the rumors about ICE agents raiding parks and pre schools in and around Santa Monica are still unconfirmed… but here’s the entire point. There is no easy way for the public to know and based on their history not a single person would doubt it. www.instagram.com/lananegretes...

ICE agents were. Caught dressed like Construction worker

There is nothing about the last six months that has convinced me tomorrow will be uneventful. National protests should have happened then or sooner but we got tomorrow - which now feels like a trap. The parade is a setup to invite protests to then declare martial law and the insurrection act.

i quit polygon; today's my last day. back to being an intergalactic bounty hunter (full-time freelance writer)! you'll soon see my bylines elsewhere & ofc you can still hear my video game opinions on Triple Click weekly. if you've got room in your budget for me: maddymyerswrites at gmail dot com <3

These devils got to go and I hope they waited them out. Come up here and get me. FUCK ICE 🧊

strikes work: part nine million. sometimes you don't even need to actually go on strike; just the threat of one is enough to move mountains

NEW: 12 masked armed men try to enter a homeless shelter without saying who they are. ICE agents park outside an elementary school, sparking fear and a car accident. Local police respond to a call about a possible assault, only to find ICE. Inside one day on LI: theintercept.com/2025/06/13/i...

It’s completely insane that US troops are illegally deployed to suppress domestic opposition and it’s not uniformly condemned by the press and political elite.

Federal agents intentionally rammed and crashed this car with kids inside to arrest a man who allegedly punched a CBP agent at some point. Feds will face no consequences. This isn’t legal. They provided no ID. ICE needs to be shutdown. The National Guard LAPD are being used to protect criminality.

When a cabinet member announces "We are using the military to liberate an American city from its elected leaders," where do you go from there. What is left to say. The idea of that being anything short of a near-universal "Wait, what the fuck is going on" moment proves how far we've backslid.

You can’t even hear his initial questions picked up on the media mics. Only in the cell phone recordings.
