Hey, so you know how back when I got arrested in February and then went on the national talk shows and spoke about how Huntington Beach is a microcosm of what’s happening nationally? Yeah. This is the circle coming back home.

The Western Governors’ meeting starts tomorrow, and guess who’s keynoting? Sec. Doug Burgum—the guy working with Sen. Lee to auction off the West’s cherished public lands. This sell-off is an assault on the West’s identity. These governors should boo him off the stage, not roll out the red carpet.

Compton, CA: A masked, heavily-armed man wearing body armor jumped out of a SUV today to kidnap a local resident. He forgot to put the vehicle in park, causing it to roll down the street damaging other cars. He jumped in the vehicle (which had no platess) and drove off without identifying himself.

Hasan: "Millions of people protesting Trump all around the nation... meanwhile no one is attending his fuckass party. This is proof that the repulsive far right hug box that twitter and online spaces have become is not representative of real world support for MAGA and right wing policies."

It's an illegal use of active-duty troops to enforce domestic policy, it's been a key foundation of our system of laws for 150 years, indeed a blatant disregard for the law, & that's how every headline should describe it.

The Senate bill aims to effectively end all civil rights lawsuits against the federal government except by entities rich enough to potentially pay million/billions in fees. I am not making this up.

The federal government is telling you they cannot afford to house you, feed you, educate you or heal you — but that they do have enough resources and scale to criminalize, assault, deport and incarcerate your neighbors simply going to work or taking their kids to graduation.

The most striking thing about the LA protests is how many people just dropped everything to show up and yell at federal agents. There are people in suits, and carrying dogs, and wearing flip flops or bike helmets. These are not people who planned to do this today. But there they are.
