Major General Randy E. Manner, former Acting Vice Chief, National Guard Bureau statement to Fox News: "This is an inappropriate use of the National Guard and is not warranted.”

When Biden stumbled, the media was relentless

As someone who lives in Los Angeles, don’t let social or mainstream media gaslight you into thinking there’s a violent uprising taking place here. The Trump administration is trying to punish this state and this city. He’s also setting a precedent to unleash troops on Democratic cities.

"Tanner, a chemist at the Univ. of Mississippi working to develop a novel approach for treating glioblastoma, was notified in April that the grant was terminated. “I would like to cure brain cancer,” Dr. Tanner said. “I think that's not particularly controversial.” www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

"U.S. job growth over the first five months of 2025 is the worst since the Great Recession. When Donald Trump says the economy is 'booming,' he’s wrong..." www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

My statement on what's unfolding in Los Angeles.

In the last 20 or so minutes I’ve seen LAPD officers shove women to the ground without provocation, rip a sign out of a man’s hand and then swing a baton into his leg and raise a less-lethal launcher to aim directly at a protester (which I’m 99% is a major policy violation.)

When Joe Biden did stuff like this, Fox would play the clips over and over like it was as significant as the moon landing

It is a truth, universally acknowledged, that the #Cubs all slump together

I guess Stephen Miller ordered the invasion of CA while Trump was out partying!

#Cubs have 2 hits…

Not a propitious start #Cubs

Just a reminder that Kash raised money for January 6 rioters, including co-producing a benefit single in which incarcerated rioters sing the national anthem while Trump recites the pledge of allegiance.

No boog again #Cubs

To be clear, this is what an insurrection looks like:

Zelenskyy: "Trust me, we understand the Russians much better, the mentality of the Russians, than the Americans understand the Russians. I know for sure Putin doesn't want to stop the war."

And the "thin blue line" phrase was always stupid to me even when i was an officer. If police are public servants then we should want that line to be thick! Not thin. Its a divisive phrase that promotes an us vs them mentality. Effective policing is reinforced with strong COMMUNITY ties.

BREAKING: ABC News says senior national correspondent Terry Moran has been suspended “pending further evaluation” over a post calling Stephen Miller a “world-class hater.” This comes less than two hours after the White House called on ABC to punish the journalist for expressing his views.

The National Guard arrived in LA. NOTE: If Trump can override California’s governor, he can override yours too. This is a trial run…

This right here is pure unadulterated hypocrisy. This is the GOP way. The original post is still up, but I took a screenshot just in case the puppy killer decides to delete it. #ProudBlue #ResistanceUnited #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

If Pres Obama federalized the National Guard of a Red state and sent them to put down a Tea Party protest, the right would've went ballistic--literally. But when Trump does the same they cheer. Please understand that MAGA is an anti-democratic movement that wants Trump to be a tyrant.

They tear-gassed a woman peacefully waving an American flag. Let that sink in. This isn’t freedom. It’s intimidation, and it’s happening right here in America. We must stand up and stop this, but not at night. That’s when the violence escalates and militarized police act with impunity.

Finally someone is willing to speak out & actually report the truth then ABC news fucking suspends the dude and he has to remove this tweet Fucking fascist assholes

Because the insurrectionists weren’t a threat to him on J6—they were following his orders.

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"

So blatantly obvious nefarious intent from America's putin puppet. And under cover of fascist actions at home.. now we've reached the distraction portion of the game... they really don't understand how easy it is for us to pay attention to more than one thing at a time

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

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.

Today: Tanks are being moved en masse into DC. Trump is deploying a state national guard over a governor’s objection to police protests. Trump threatened a major donor with “severe consequences” if they support his political opponents. If you’re still wondering what time it is, read this again
