The Trump administration falsely claims the protesters in Los Angeles are violent people but if you are on the ground in Los Angeles, you will see people from every walk of life. They are protesting the treatment of people being illegally detained by ICE.

It's so disheartening watching everything I've spent a decade warning people was going to happen, actually happen, and to see how many of them still don't seem to care.

This next week or so is going to tell us so much about who Americans are and what our tolerance for fascism is.

The National Guard (and now the marines,) who are sleeping on floors because they're not being reimbursed for food and lodging, are going to be faced with a big party and people dancing. Imagine how that will feel.

One of the coolest features of the Agami Heron is its gorgeous, flowing crest that flutters as it poses and preens. But I've never seen it up close before with the details and textures. #CostaRica #herons #nature #birds

Yesterday, Trump said, "They get inches from their face and then spit!" about the L.A. protesters. He says he'll send the Marines. When insurrectionists tased Michael Fanone, causing him to have a heart attack, Trump called them peaceful protesters and pardoned them. He PARDONED THEM.

The correct way to connect the authoritarian presence in LA and the Big Beautiful Bill is that the bill gives the government the resources to do this in dozens of cities at once. So if you don't like what's happening in LA, it's coming to your town if the bill passes.

Those concerned about violence might want to start with violence against immigrants, by ICE here, by illegal deportations to gulags and third countries, the violence against so many federal departments, against the law, the climate, the public lands, waters, civil rights, reproductive rights...

Btw LA, there are people out on the streets trying to get you to sign a petition “for the minimum wage”. Do NOT sign. The service workers fought and won a higher minimum wage and this petition is to LOWER it. Tell them to fuck off and don’t let anybody else sign either

JUST IN: 700 Marines deployed to L.A. from 29 Palms. If Trump can override California, he can override any state. So ask yourself: who’s next? And what happens when people stop backing down? This isn’t crowd control — it’s occupation.

We see what they’re doing. They’re baiting us, trying to provoke violence to justify a crackdown. Don’t give them the footage they want. Every broken window becomes propaganda in their hands. Stay sharp. Stay united. We’re here to fight for justice, not feed their narrative.

📌By words and by deed, it is clear as day that Trump has absolutely no respect for the United States which he has already violently assaulted once, nor our men and women who wear the uniform, because like any authoritarian leader he sees them as servants to him, and not our country. Read that again.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

Newsom: Just moments ago, they called up an additional 2,000 National Guard troops. So now it’s 4,000 total—of which only 300 have actually been operationalized. And guess what? Yesterday, LAPD had to use their already scarce resources to protect those National Guardsmen and women…

I want to report some good news from LA: ICE picked a hotel in Pasadena to be their headquarters for this side of the city. The residents of Pasadena (myself included) would not stand for this and protested all yesterday in front of the hotel until, eventually, the hotel kicked out ICE!!

This kid is someone who has lived under the threat of gun violence their entire life, and lived through hundreds of hours of active shooter drills at school. They’re built different because they had no other choice.

Newsom: This is a national order. We’re talking about you and your state, your own backyard, all depending on the whim of a president who’s unhinged. Depending on how he’s feeling on a particular day, or who’s offended him because he didn’t like what they said on a Fox News clip.

Marine veterans are speaking out against the troop deployment in Los Angeles. Across the country, they’re taking down their American flags that have flown in front of their homes for years. Remember, we have friends everywhere.
