Trump told reporters at the White House that the protesters in Los Angeles “are insurrectionists.” That’s false. January 6 was an insurrection, this is a protest. But by using that language, he may be laying the groundwork to invoke the 1807 Insurrection Act.

I have always LOVED BOWIE!!! I was lucky enough to see him in concert a few times (including Sound and Vision & Glass Spider tours). But I had no idea how much Mick Ronson contributed to his songs. I highly recommend watching Beside Bowie: The Mick Ronson Story. www.imdb.com/title/tt7135...

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.

I am in downtown Los Angeles right now and it is completely surreal to hear that Trump is sending Marines here. We are listening to mariachi music. People have dogs. There are teenagers here. It is utterly and completely peaceful. Please tell your friends.

Deploying Marines to LA isn’t normal. It’s a gross abuse of power similar to what we see from dictators around the world, setting the stage for martial law or full-on authoritarianism.

Trump is threatening to arrest a Democratic governor and sending a battalion of US Marines into a largely Democratic US city to “engage” with American civilians based on lies about an “insurrection” and “rebellion.” IT HAS NOT EVEN BEEN FIVE MONTHS.

Trump is deploying the US Marines on Los Angeles, after deploying 2000 Nat'l Guard. If you are in the US Armed Forces & unsure of how to respond to an illegal order—you are not alone. Call the GI Rights Hotline at 1-877-447-4487 for free & confidential guidance: www.qasimrashid.com/p/trump-is-d...

I guarantee you that these 700 Marines being deployed have very little training or experience in "crowd control" or whatever your preferred term for it. Maybe they'll be used specifically for road checkpoints. Maybe not. Regardless, they're not trained for engaging with massive civilian crowds.

BBC: “The Pentagon confirms it is activating 700 Marines in the Los Angeles area to help the federal response to protests against immigration raids.” I ask all 700 of these Marines to remember their oath: Supporting& defending Constitution comes FIRST!!! Obey Pres LAST. www.bbc.com/news/live/cv...

PSA: If you think a guy standing on a vandalized Waymo car with a Mexican flag is a bigger issue than the president calling for the arrest of a governor for no reason, you may have lost the plot.

LA is quiet. THe attempt to provoke is failing. So far. "Police officers and deputies from several agencies maintained a large presence across downtown Los Angeles on Mon morning, but no protesters have been seen in the area. A cleanup effort has begun to clear debris from streets..."

Pope Leo XIV asks that God “open borders, break down walls + dispel hatred”. The church must open the borders between peoples and break down the barriers between class and race. People must move “beyond our fear of those who are different”. #USpol #AUSpol #UKpol www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

Lauren Tomasi should be interviewed ASAP and she should show the damage the rubber bullet did to her leg. It goes without saying that she should sue the hell out of the Department and seek to have the officer who shot her so nonchalantly kicked off the force (and banned from law enforcement).
