Jan 6 was the starting point of this political violence, and it would have ended there if Trump had been convicted by the Senate. But they let him off and now, quite predictably, the political violence is back.

Here's the full Newsom address. It's great. (99% anyway, it's a tiny quibble but can we please stop reflexively adding "hard working" as the sole acceptable preceding adjective for immigrants) www.youtube.com/live/0n77NFj...

I wish whenever Democrats did the boilerplate "Of course I believe that violent or destructive protesters should be arrested," they'd add, "Unlike our president who pardons them if they are beating on cops for him."

Completely bizarre to hear tv talk about sending in the military and then you see the actual pics of the protests and people are buying hot dogs and line dancing while the Nat Guard looks on in silent envy.

Trump promised to deport violent criminals. Instead, he deported a 4-year-old cancer patient. Now he’s fueling chaos again. Don’t give him what he wants. If you’re showing up to protest with violence in L.A.—go the fuck home. Peaceful protesters have a case. Let them be heard.

what people seem to believe is that there is a large number of criminal, layabout immigrants who can be easily found and deported. they support doing so snd are dismayed by the deportation of otherwise law abiding people. the problem is that the criminal group is imaginary!

For anyone who thinks I'm joking here (and it's funny, but no) rumor is that the National Guard deployed in LA was sent under a 29 day order to avoid housing allowances, which means they have to fully pay for their own shelter. In LA. Zero notice. Durable fascisms don't shortchange the muscle.

This is unequivocally true. Whether you're in the UK or the US, immigration is a plus in every conceivable way. And until you acknowledge and celebrate this fact, the racists will continue to win.

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.
