I think we should start changing our language. Say Trump. Trump is tear gassing Americans. Trump is detaining US citizens. Trump is shooting rubber bullets at US citizens. Trump is kidnapping farm workers and children. Trump is invading the states. ICE, police and military are doing it for Trump

Absent the invocation of Insurrection Act, I don't see how this doesn't violate Posse Comitatus. Detaining people pending the arrival of civilian law enforcement is supporting civilian law enfcmt. Neither s12406 nor POTUS' claimed Art II power extends beyond protecting fed property/functions.

Really important story - army officials asked soldiers to identify themselves if they don't agree with Trump's politics that way he'd get only supportive soldiers in uniform during his political rally on base. Heavier soldiers were also barred from participating.

JUST IN: The Trump admin defends sending ~5,000 troops to LA: "The statute empowers the President to determine what forces 'he considers necessary' to 'suppress' a 'rebellion' or to 'execute' federal 'laws'—not the Governor, and not a federal court." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee: “Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”

The law bars active-duty mil from participating in partisan fundraising or rallies. One of many regs aimed at making it hard for a POTUS to do what the framers feared: co-opt a standing army to entrench non-democratic power. Wrote about this in Trump 1.0 here. JAGs, COs, Congress - uphold the law.

"Fietsvlonders" are mobile bike platforms designed to turn a car parking spot into urban bike parking. They’re modular, moveable, and cheap, making it easy to test better use of public space. When car storage gets swapped for bikes, entire streets start to feel different.

First bit of polling after Trump's escalation in Los Angeles, and it is very bad for him. Here are the last three YouGov polls of Trump's job approval: 45%-49% (-4) - June 2 45%-55% (-10) - June 6 40%-53% (-13) - June 10

Two YouGov polls taken June 9/10: – Deploying Nat’l Guard: 38% approval-45% disapproval (30-47 among indies) – Deploying Marines: 34-47 (27-50 among indies) – Trump’s handling of deportations in general: 39-50 (30-54 among indies) Just because Trump wants this doesn't mean it's a winner for him.

A call for a stuck elevator came in from DHS at 26 Federal Plaza at 7:37 p.m. It was a ruse. There was no stuck elevator. The fire truck responding opened a space that ICE used to drive a van of kidnapped people through. ICE evaded protesters apparently by calling in a false emergency call.
