Dear US Marines, Please DO NOT obey unlawful orders from this lawless President. Do the right thing. Sincerely, America

The LAPD whenever they think no one can see

Are Trump's actions in LA a distraction? @gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "A hundred percent. It's all about news cycles. Whatever he can to distract. I mean, disastrous economic policies... Even his his biggest sycophant in the country, Elon Musk, said likely a recession in the second half of the year."

Trump‘s confrontation with California is another dangerous moment for America. My latest on Substack: open.substack.com/pub/jimacost...

This is, of course, all bullshit. But that won't matter to the MAGA cult who still believe entire cities were burnt to the ground during the Black Lives Matter protests.

ABC News executives are fucking stupid. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk. Hang tough @terrymoranabc.bsky.social . You are doing good work.

LA Mayor Karen Bass: "Deploying federalized troops on the heels of these raids is a chaotic escalation.    "The fear people are feeling in our city right now is very real … It puts our neighborhoods at risk. This is the last thing that our city needs, and I urge protestors to remain peaceful."

Rep. Gomez: LA County alone is 34% foreign born, 34%. So when he says they're going to liberate us, who is he going to liberate us from? Ourselves?

Active Duty Military & National Guard - You do NOT have to follow unconstitutional orders. girightshotline.org CALL THIS #👇👇👇

Please, pass this on. You not only don't need to follow unconstitutional orders, it is against the law to follow them.

Oh, honey . . . You can’t even get your wife back.

You know when things were pretty quiet and peaceful in L.A.? Before ICE started arresting residents who were bothering no one and going to their jobs. And before DHS and National Guard troops showed up and made the situation worse. Of course Trump and Stephen Miller want the situation to get worse.

Congress last had favorable polling numbers in Oct. 2001. I think I know a way they could maybe change that. Grow a spine and take your power back.

They are covering up their crimes

Federal immigration sweeps in Los Angeles have prompted days of fiery protests and sparked a dispute between the state and federal government over how to respond.

He loves the Nazi flag.

Hello. I live in Los Angeles. The president is lying.

If the federal operation is illegal, resist

Zelenskyy called on the world to increase pressure on Russia amid the attack on Kharkiv

Lmao.

Federal lawmakers say they have been denied access to an ICE facility in CA

Never forget that the same man who called the January 6th insurrection a “beautiful day of love” and refused to lift a finger for 187 minutes to stop the horror unleashed on our Capitol has deployed the National Guard to intervene in Los Angeles to “address the lawlessness in California.”

You tell them sister

Notable clip today👇 in light of the news that the Trump administration successfully pressured ABC into suspending Moran

Pay attention to what he’s doing. Immigration is not an invasion.

My statement on what's unfolding in Los Angeles.

BREAKING: Kamala Harris issues statement on Los Angeles.

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:

We’re in the find out part of democracy now

Trump's stumble on the steps up to Air Force One highlights the extent of Joe Biden's physical decline. www.yahoo.com/news/trump-s...

If governor Newsom and mayor Bass believe that cracking down on protestors harder will save them from further escalation with Trump, they're sorely mistaken. They'll only be doing Trump's bidding for him while sowing massive distrust with their own constituents. Trump will escalate anyways.

Lots of talk today about the demise of BlueSky. For whatever it's worth, it's been a boon to indie publishers like us. Twitter and Facebook have pretty much silenced us, so the engagement here has, and continues to be, wonderful.

LA Mayor Karen Bass: "It's a feeling here of intentional chaos [...] it is as though troops were rolled out in a provocative manner, and I do not see how that is helpful to Los Angeles right now."

"Leo has become a MAGA flashpoint ... his worldview directly threatens the Christian nationalist engine behind the rising authoritarianism of our time. He threatens to become a transnational counterweight to a rapidly expanding authoritarian religious network." www.rawstory.com/pastor-pope-...

Breaking: California Gov. Gavin Newsom says he has formally requested the Trump admin rescind their "unlawful deployment" of troops in Los Angeles and "return them to my command."

If the open source rumors are true, looks like Ukraine is facing an attack with hundreds of drones, dozens of aircraft, and at least 3 warships. Russia appears to be pooling their remaining conventional weapons for a large scale strike.

Important thing to beat people over the head with: Trump has turned American cities into warzones and for fucking what? Prices are way up, jobs will be way down, the dollar is worth less, and now the highway is blocked off by cops. Maybe the Great Mythical Immigrant wasn’t the problem after all.

Fact.....🎯

Hey look at that someone read the statute! Just to put a sharper point in it, this means everything that’s going on with the national guard right now in Cali is illegal as well as horrifically unnecessary and harmful

Ca Gov Gavin Newsom: “ - Inciting and provoking violence - Creating mass chaos - Militarizing cities - Arresting opponents These are the acts of a dictator, not a President.”

Taco sending in the Marines against children defending their parents from being kidnapped is the reason that Terror Trump blocked the Biden Border Bill. 🤷 Taco is too stupid to govern , he can only cause drama because he is a pedophile.

So either one is a drug addict and the other a pedophile? Or both? Pick a side MAGA. Trump was so addled he picked a drug addict, Elon Musk, to access our most sensitive data and government programs? Ok media. Here’s your chance to actually report.

Per my post on Saturday below identifying the provision in 12406 providing for Governor's role.... Governor Newsom's (very well-lawyered) letter on Sunday now goes for it:

This gave me chills ✊

BREAKING: An enormous peaceful protest has broken out in Los Angeles in defiance of Donald Trump’s ICE raids. This is how it’s done.

ICE has wreaked havoc everywhere that people deem sacred *schools *graduations *churches *homes Where is the line or is there one? *deathbeds *cemeteries When is enough, fucking enough? #SheShed
