Reporter: What is the bar for sending Marines? Trump: The bar is what I think it is.

The news emphasizes low-level theft instead of corporate crime, pollution, and other predatory behavior.

Seeing a massive divide online between Angelenos of all political stripes who understand that the protests in LA yesterday were mostly peaceful and any violence was ICE-initiated and East Coast establishment liberals lecturing “the left” on how riots just amplify right wing talking points.

Breaking: ABC News says senior national correspondent Terry Moran "has been suspended pending further evaluation." This since-deleted tweet is the reason for the suspension:

Would probably be a good idea if California @agrobbonta.oag.ca.gov did a quick video statement describing the legality/illegality of what is happening and the legal basis for the position the Gov. intends to take. Better than letting confusion build and folks hashing it out on social media.

Two pieces on the travesty happening in CA (which could certainly be worse, and become worse, but is ... deeply alarming) @stevevladeck.bsky.social: www.stevevladeck.com/p/156-federa... @joshtpm.bsky.social: talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/break...

We (lawyers, former govt officials, former military) were engaged in role playing exercises prior to 2nd Trump inauguration of exactly this situation in California. This was so predictable, if not actually expected/planned. The Trump Administration is most dangerous we have seen in our history.

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."

I think it’s notable that ICE isn’t conducting raids in red states, but is instead targeting deep blue states with big migrant communities that will fight back. They want violence to justify more violence. This is fascism 101. We should laugh at them and treat them like the cowards they are.

Life is imitating art in the worst way possible

Lankford: "This is an American city, and to be able to have an American city where we have people literally flying Mexican flags and saying 'you cannot arrest us' cannot be allowed."

just that period reminder that content posted to Bluesky is public to *anybody*. if you don't want to see it used in a court of law, don't post it here. and DMs here are not E2EE, they can be subpoened. a great use for bsky DMs is to share secure comms and move the conversation there.

I agree with Gov Gavin Newsom that Trump’s take over of the CA National Guard is purposefully inflammatory. I also note this federalization is being done under 10 U.S.C. § 12406, which means the Guard troops will still be subject to the prohibitions in the Posse Comitatus Act.

Please PLEASE don't try to figure out who the skateboard kid is PLEASE if you're gonna make them a meme please leave the actualperson the fuck alone cops murdered visible protestors from Ferguson and 'fun' internet sleuthing is policing

At the ICE raid and subsequent community resistance in Paramount, California this morning, this skater kid ate dozens of munitions from Border Patrol agents, walked away slowly and flipped them off.

Undocumented immigrants pay almost $100 billion in taxes each year. The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes each year. Stop pretending that immigrants are the ones taking advantage of taxpayers.

The spin has already started as if our entire city is in chaos. I went from Burbank all the way over to Koreatown on surface streets tonight and jackshit was happening. The CNN coverage makes it look like world war 3 and that’s what Trump wants so he and his fucking goons can come shoot Angelenos.

Remember all the enablers and normalizers of the Trump regime, especially those in power and within the establishment - the media, law firms, the billionaires, the donors. All are complicit, including feckless Democrats who didn't put up the fight for sake of their own safety.

Colombia presidential hopeful Miguel Uribe Turbay shot in head at rally, now in critical condition www.cbsnews.com/news/miguel-...

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.

After calling a dispersal order, federal police used pepper spray, flash bangs, and pepper balls to push people away from the Federal Building onto Alameda Street. @lataco.bsky.social

US Northern Command releases statement confirming California National Guard members being sent to LA to "protect federal personnel and federal property" and that "active-duty Marines also may be employed" as needed x.com/USNorthernCm...

“Tasted a little tear gas— tasted like fascism”

Tonight in LA, there are people hiding in garages, attics and basements because they're scared to be rounded up by ICE, denied due process, and transported to concentration camps. Sound familiar?

We’re not even five months in.

Reminder that this country had an insurrection on Jan 6 and Trump refused to send in the National Guard.

A TON of cop cars just sped north in Alameda towards the Federal Building

seems like a military response in search of a riot

ICE is a much greater threat to this country than illegal immigrants. The current administration ia by far the greatest threat this country faces. The problem is not st our borders. It is in the White House.

Hegseth is now threatening to send the Marines to LA to suppress protesters against ICE’s brutal assault on immigrant garment workers. Just process that: Sending in the *military* to crack down on protesters. We’re now at severe risk of martial law. That’s what they’ve wanted all along.

The federal government is moving to take over the California National Guard and deploy 2,000 soldiers. That move is purposefully inflammatory and will only escalate tensions.

anyway vance is currently tweeting about how this is all part of the great replacement or something and foreign nationals are currently occupying los angeles and that's why we're deploying the guard

live from the huge spontaneous anti-ICE protest after the agency used military-style tactics during a series of raids in Los Angeles today.
