Veterans lead demonstration at Camp Pendleton against potential LA military deployment. Veterans urge Marines to consider the legality of potential orders. www.cbs8.com/article/news...

Newsom clawing back a little respect.

Every accusation is a confession.

JULIETTE KAYYEM: “Active duty Marines for this, Hegseth? I mean, we were just reporting on it. There's music. The traffic is moving. Most people in L.A. probably don't even know this is going on.”

President Trump stumbles while attempting to board Air Force One

A buddy of mine in 2/7 said they got a prepare to deploy order🙃

If @schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social don't draw the line at "the Trump administration is illegally siccing the National Guard and possibly Marines on the people of Los Angeles" then there is no line. The US may as well be a single-party state.

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.

Governor Newsom: "I have formally requested the Trump Administration rescind their unlawful deployment of troops ... and return them to my command. ... This is a serious breach of state sovereignty — inflaming tensions while pulling resources from where they’re actually needed." The letter:

I think we’ve found the source of the violence

Just in from Governor Newsom.

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"

Don’t presume the outcome or reason for Trump’s terrorizing efforts. “This weekend’s actions also come in the wake of a mounting collection of humiliating failures for Trump, surely exacerbating his reckless desire for spectacular distraction.” www.americaamerica.news/p/trump-want...

Them: “LA is a full on insurrection” Us at the protest:

Read this. Absorb the bravery. Stand up & fight for democracy.

Definitely need the National Guard to quell this... insurrection of... line dancing?

Be like Williams.

UPDATE The organisers of a Gaza-bound humanitarian aid ship carrying activists including Swedish campaigner Greta Thunberg say Israeli forces have boarded the vessel. "Connection has been lost on the 'Madleen'. Israeli army have boarded the vessel," the Freedom Flotilla Coalition posted on Telegram

Between 1821 and 1848 Los Angeles was part of Mexico.

There’s no way he won 7 swing states… johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/so-kamala-...

1 in 12 Americans live in California. 1 in 35 Americans live in LA County. LA is America

This illustrates, I suspect, a problem w/using the term of art "due process." Laypeople don't know what it means, focus on the "process" part, & conjure their own ideas what it requires. Say "day in court." Every American is entitled to notice, a day in court, and an opportunity to be heard.

Would you guys want the entire 49-minute interview with President Zelensky subtitled in English? ABC has only published small excerpts for some reason. buymeacoffee.com/igorsushko

L.A. Mayor Karen Bass: “In the beginning, the [Trump] administration said they were just looking for dangerous felons, violent people. It’s hard to say that that’s what they found in a work place or in a Home Depot parking lot.”

Governor Gavin Newsom: “I have formally requested the Trump Administration rescind their unlawful deployment of troops in Los Angeles county and return them to my command.”

👇 Hearing the same from a lot of friends and family in LA

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

If Biden had misunderstood the situation this profoundly, it would have been seen as a national crisis (and rightly so). But instead we just wave away the latest utterings of the mad king.

Your safety is the top priority. Peaceful protesters have already been harmed for doing nothing. The story they’re selling isn’t legit. Please film everything, document everything.
