What country is this?

The LA protests will trigger a drumbeat of "law and order" messaging from the White House and their media allies as a prelude to invoking the Insurrection Act. This is entirely predictable, and any Dem or media outlet that facilitates this narrative will be aiding Trump's authoritarian project.

The fact they chose California as the flash point is also an indicator that they don't think these things through LA has like 4M+ people. Sending every single ICE officer is ~20K, LAPD is 9K, LASD is 10K. Going in at 100:1 manpower – leaving zero bodies for literally anything else – is foolish 1/

If ICE agents have families who haven’t convinced them to get out of the child snatching profession, then they can get bent too.

"So here's the plan -- we impose massive tariffs on the nations that sell us food." "Hmm." "But it's OK, because we just rely more on states like California that grow a lot of the same things." "Oh, I guess that ..." "And then we go to war with California."

So, to be clear, Musk has now admitted he funded a man he believes to be a pedophile to be president. And Trump has now admitted that he gave access to high level government secrets to a man he believes to be a big time drug addict. This should be *the* story on the Sunday shows tomorrow.

Bernie, you rascal! You’re spot on here.

Here are some texts I got from an immigration lawyer friend of mine. Shared with permission. Some of the bleakest shit I’ve ever heard.

Here’s video evidence that LAPD was not only securing the perimeter for the ICE / HSI raids, they were also inside the facility during the operation. Lying ass @LAPDHQ said they were “not involved in the immigration enforcement”… what does this look like to you?

How much are they paying ICE agents for each person they deport? I know they’re evil and would do it anyway, but I’m just saying, I watched some videos and got a feeling about the way they try to SNATCH as many people as possible…it feels like a bounty system is in place.

HAPPENING NOW: DOZENS of ICE agents seen gearing up for a night raid in LA Chinatown. This is how the U.S. treats immigrant communities. Like criminals. Like targets. Pull up to 721 Hill St. NOW. Document. Witness. DEFEND.

🚨🚨 BREAKING: Protesters have surrounded the federal detention center in Los Angeles. California isn’t backing down, this is a full-blown standoff with the feds. ❤️ A FUCK YEAH!!!

Heavily armed Trump regime forces driven away by community resistance mid ICE raid in Los Angeles, scenes repeating all over the city where people are standing up to them. #3E #EndImpunity #StopICE

Worth noting: ICE is conducting these prominent mass detention operations in urban settings in states like California and Illinois and apparently leaving the low-hanging fruit of major agricultural centers in places like Texas and South Dakota (home of DHS Secretary Kristi Noem) largely untouched.

Crowds of brave people have surrounded the ICE detention centre in Los Angeles. They are trying to liberate victims kidnapped by Trump’s regime forces. Victims were abducted and thrown into the basement of the building without due process. #3E

Movies back on!!

Been saying this for weeks. In order to build a mass deportation machine to round up and deport 4% of the entire goddamn population, you must first build the police state.

MAGA: Anyone who trusts Elon is a fool. Me: But your guy trusted him with the keys to our entire government like 5 minutes ago. MAGA: Your a dum hore!

It appears the peace treaty hasn’t been negotiated yet.

Okay listen... i am not at all angry when i say this because a lot of people who say this and mean well but are really clueless because the media narrative on this is so disconnected with reality. A trans only category would not work in any sport, anywhere. There are not enough trans athletes.

I hope they never stop tweeting. My god.

Trump will turn 79 on the 14th of June. I find that interesting; he looks and talks like he's 95.

#ProudBlue SEIU California President injured & detained today at the raids happening in Los Angeles. David Huerta, President of United Service Workers West was injured & detained at an ICE raid in LA today while exercising his First Amendment right to observe & document law enforcement activity.

This ⬇️

No offense to anyone, but if you don’t instantly see how straight-up evil the Trump administration is being here you weren’t raised right This man isn’t in a gang, has no criminal record, was never charged with crimes pre-Trump, and everyone involved in this *scam* well knows it

OMGGGGG 🔥🔥🔥

People in Los Angeles rising up against ICE.

Trust and believe this is retaliation for Huerta endorsing HRC in 2015 and VP Harris in 2024. Inion leaders have long been targets by authoritarian governments, but Trump is also a grievance filled lunatic so there’s that…

🚨 After months of defiance of court orders (and the Supreme Court) and claims under oath from cabinet level officials that they would never bring him back, the Trump admin blinks; Kilmar Abrego Garcia is being brought back to the U.S., where he can finally get some due process.
