When President Johnson activated the Nat'l Guard in Alabama in 1965 over Gov. Wallace's objection he did it to protect protesters advocating for voting rights for Black people who had previously met violence at the hands of state troopers. Very different situation.

Major General Randy E. Manner, former Acting Vice Chief, National Guard Bureau statement to Fox News: "This is an inappropriate use of the National Guard and is not warranted.”

LAPD presser- they didn't use proper chain of command to send Natl Guard. And LAPD didn't even have 50% deployment when Trump admin called for it. Authoritarian much?

Meanwhile, in Compton, while Arco across the street from them has been getting looted for over an hour... the popo are protecting - donuts.

YES Karen Bass is correct- the National Guard is not necessary. And love how she brushed off Trump's comment about her. The gist... (While he tweets, I organize)

The live streams from LA are SO similar to Portland in 2020. Fed bldg on Alameda - cops come out, mess with protesters, go back inside. Little while later, here they are again. In the areas that cops have left- so too- the angry crowds. Compton still has a huge crowd & major police presence

Mayor Karen Bass and 11 out of 15 councilmembers have issued statements condemning the ICE raids happening throughout LA today

The Florida Bar has filed misconduct charges against Attorney General Pam Bondi. She has been in violation of multiple ethics rules since being sworn in.

I had been working on this for the past couple of days. It's extra funny now. www.muellershewrote.com/p/capitulati...

Sounds like some media outlets really need to be doing a better job. This is horrible reporting or lack thereof.

@smolkibbi.bsky.social MF'rs out there talking about codifying DOGE. Oy veh.

@ecmclaughlin.bsky.social Minneapolis - a local Police officer is seen picking up what is probably a "P-Mag" (Firearm magazine) and giving it back to the guys in full military cos-play. Whoever these ICE guys are, they are definitely in over their heads. Scary.
