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.

⚠️ Warning: The Trump administration is circulating footage from 2020 to make the situation in L.A. appear more chaotic than it is. This is an intentional effort to manufacture a larger crisis. Stay alert. Pay attention. The propaganda machine is in overdrive.

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!

Also a repeat of the idea that because of events in L.A., Congress should pass the wildly unpopular omnibus bill that cuts Medicaid, SNAP, energy credits, and so on.

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.

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.

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.

The Trump administration would love to use war-style brutality and violence to attack all protestors. About 35% of the country would cheer it. Remind me why I should feel any community, any common humanity, any need to connect with those people.
