Nat Guard/DHS threw tear gas canisters and smoke grenades into the crowd. Protesters and media hit. Pellet rounds deployed. All to seemingly clear path for a convoy of DHS/Border Patrol vehicles. I got hit but fine after an eye rinse.

President Trump stumbles while attempting to board Air Force One

This skateboarder kid represents true US resistance vs the Trump regime's fascist authoritarianism attacking US cities and communities nationwide. Dozens of regime ICE troops assaulted him and he still came out on top. #3E #StopICE (📹 @jeremotographs.bsky.social )

These fascist dipshits keep claiming there is all kinds of violence in Los Angeles right now. At this very moment, even! Weirdly, every single local channel is running regular programming, instead of this BREAKING NEWS EVENT. It's like ... it's like the dipshits are lying, or something. Weird.

I'm posting this at least once a day and so should as many people as possible. As a child of the sixties protests at Columbia where I was pepper sprayed, billy clubbed and dragged by the hair, I know they will plant agitators in order to create the chaos they need to justify their violence. RESIST

This is exactly what we need from all our members of Congress—SHOW UP. Thank you, Reps @gomez.house.gov , @repluzrivas.bsky.social , @ntorres35.bsky.social , and Lou Correa for showing up at the Federal Building to demand answers amid reports of inhumane conditions: no beds, no food, no water.

US Sen. Brian Schatz sounds the dictatorship alarm

In a world of Stephen Millers, be *anyone* else.

Healthcare for seniors is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse. Food for hungry kids is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse. A $45 military parade for a draft dodging felon *is* waste, fraud, and abuse. Paying the National Guard to attack US citizens *is* waste, fraud, and abuse.

CONFIRMED: ICE IN PASADENA, CALIFORNIA. CURRENTLY POSITIONED ON ROOFTOP OF MARRIOTT AC HOTEL BY URTH CAFE.

Trump is deploying the National Guard in LA. Trump is holding a massive military parade on his birthday next Saturday. Read between the lines. It had NEVER been more essential for Americans to SHOW UP and PEACEFULLY protest the wannabe dictator. Show up for No Kings Day on 6/14. PASS IT ON!

Seriously Edward R Murrow would have eviscerated Stephen Miller. The truth is he is a horrible human being and the free press including Terry Moran, should be able to articulate this.

Members of the California National Guard have arrived in Los Angeles — against the wishes of Gov. Gavin Newsom and L.A. Mayor Karen Bass, who are calling the Trump move inflammatory and unnecessary.

CAN I GET 70 MILLION REPOSTS ON THIS? Send this message across America! Let's go for it!

“For the federal government to take over the California National Guard... to put down protests is truly chilling,” said Erwin Chemerinsky, one of the nation’s leading constitutional law scholars. “It is using the military domestically to stop dissent.”

Breaking: ABC News says senior national correspondent Terry Moran "has been suspended pending further evaluation." This since-deleted tweet is the reason for the suspension:

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.

Since yesterday, immigration and other law enforcement have inflicted terror and chaos on residents of LA. The leader of California's largest union was among those arrested for protesting ICE's cruelty. Congress must hold President Trump accountable and stop him from terrorizing our communities.

ICE agents briefly detained a U.S. marshal in Arizona “The deputy marshal was detained because he "fit the general description of a subject being sought by ICE," ICE is out of control www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

Fake emergencies to justify crackdowns-not very original

NEW President Trump says masks will not be allowed to be worn at protests. He does not have the authority to ban masks at protests.

Funny how ICE who is so allegedly fighting undocumented gang members has only managed to round up normal working class people, traumatize children, and fight US citizens in the streets.

Of course the LA Times makes it look like a full on riot instead of showing that the mostly peaceful protesters were literally and constantly assaulted by ICE agents. The majority of fires that were started weren’t by the public but by ICE firing into the crowds and canisters starting fires. 🧵

The situation in Los Angeles is about to plunge us into a national emergency, except the people that normally solve national emergencies are the ones creating it.

Are ANY of the national news stations reporting about dictator Trump calling out the CA National Guard over the LA ICE protests? Have ALL the media outlets abdicated their duty to report the news? #ICEProtests #LAProtests

This graphic is a powerful and succinct summary of the ongoing structural inequities women face globally. It reminds us that feminism isn’t about “special treatment,” it’s about correcting systemic imbalances that continue to deprive women of economic power, recognition, and basic fairness.👇

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple. Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

The crackdowns on civilians and the threat of the national guard being sent to LA should be *the* most important story right now-- not the Trump/Musk feud or whatever the f**k that was. People are being terrorized all over the country. News outlets need to get it together.

And there you have it. ICE didn't target migrant workers in Kristi Noem's farms or Sarah Huckabee Sanders' meatpacking plants because they wanted to create a riot in LA as a pretext to declaring martial law. They don't care about undocumented migrants, they only care about controlling US citizens.

Trump LIED when he said undocumented immigrants were dangerous CRIMINALS. But who is ICE *actually* going after? Immigrants at their regularly scheduled court hearings. Immigrants going to work. Immigrant families. They're NOT rounding up dangerous criminals. They're taking our neighbors. #FuckICE

Beyond Musk, Senators face another budget bill foe — callers "5 Calls app's internal data shows consistent, monthlong opposition to Trump's 'disgusting abomination' budget bill." See the spike in calls near the House passage. www.allrisenews.com/p/budget-bil...

NEW: Conservatives on SCOTUS give DOGE the go-ahead. A one-two punch: DOGE gets access to your data, but the public is restricted from getting information about DOGE. Today, at Law Dork:

Better safe than sorry… 🚨Heavy ICE Presence Expected in Los Angeles on Sunday. A bilingual warning is being shared with the community — including areas to avoid. Stay alert. Protect each other. Know your rights.

Will the Trump regime use this to declare emergency powers? www.huffpost.com/entry/stephe...

I think nuance and respectful disagreement can be found on a lot of issues, but ICE isn't one of them. Fuck ICE. I'm rooting for their abject failure and personal misery. May the people of Los Angeles send these discount gestapo hacks packing.

SHAME

👀

good GOOD (this whole thread is stunning)

Here’s the cold hard truth of what Trump is doing on immigration: They are rounding up only the people who have taken steps to become legal OR workers from work sites. People who work, NOT criminals. Is that what you voted for??

A FOURTH GRADER detained and separated from his family. Is THIS what the American people voted for? ktla.com/news/local-n...

Trump is turning DC into a militarized zone to feed his ego.

💥 @repdangoldman.bsky.social speaks out about his confrontation with “plain-clothes ICE agents” wearing masks. “You can’t require Columbia University to ban masks in order to get federal funding while you turn around and have federal government enforcement law enforcement agents wearing masks.”

"At a Home Depot in the Westlake District near downtown Los Angeles, masked officers wearing vests emblazoned with HSI — an acronym for Homeland Security Investigations — were seen taking people into custody." - @ktla.com I have reached out to #HomeDepot for comment and will report $HD

Two babies have died from whooping cough in Kentucky. Neither they nor their parents had been vaccinated. The current whooping cough outbreak in the U.S. hasn’t grabbed the media spotlight as much as measles has, but it’s important to update your vaccination if you’re going to be around babies.
