True story bro.

Newsom responds to Homan statement on possibly arresting him: He's a tough guy. Why doesn't he do that? He knows where to find me. Lay your hands off four year old girls that are trying to get educated. Come and arrest me. Let’s just get it over with tough guy. I don’t give a damn

Fact check: True.

Polite request to please credit the photographers whose L.A. photos you’re sharing. They’re out there risking getting their shins exploded by police munitions to get those shots.

SWAT shoot at a woman for filming them.

A protester picks up a tear gas canister and throws it back at police. The rest of protesters attempt to fan the gas back at police

Hello. I live in Los Angeles. The president is lying.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

Donald Trump’s deployment of the military in Los Angeles over the objection of California leaders is an abuse of power and a dangerous escalation. It’s what you would see in authoritarian states and it must stop. Americans have the right to speak out and peacefully protest.

Today, WH Border Czar Homan said California's Governor and LA Mayor Bass could be arrested if they interfered with ICE. This, after the arrest of a NJ Congresswoman & a Wisconsin Judge. This isn't what democracy is supposed to look like. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

There is no mass-deportation campaign going on right now. Deportation is a process. This is kidnapping and human trafficking.

First they illegally deport citizens. Then they unleash ICE to terrorize communities. Now they’ve got the National Guard in L.A. to silence protestors. This ain’t about law and order. This is what authoritarianism looks like.

Mr. Authoritarian President, why weren’t you as interested in upholding “very strong law and order” during the insurrection on the Nation’s Capital as you are now in LA? Was your inaction then a result of your having incited the insurrection? #WeMustImpeachTrump!

Things are escalating fast on the freeway in Los Angeles. Tear gas canisters are being kicked back and forth

Why is law enforcement/national guard masked?!

For you obsessive 1st Amendment “free speech” folks.. Remember, the US Constitution’s 1st Amendment “guarantees” (loll) protection from the gov’t re: speech, press, religion, assembly. AND YET: confirmed #NationalGuard members, firing on members of the press, carrying a camera/tripod. 🇺🇸 #LosAngeles

The ultimate political hypocrisy is to hear the words “law and order” coming from a convicted felon president.

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple.

It’s obvious but worth drawing out what raids of Home Depot’s of all places is about. It’s rounding up people who are really eager for work and for whom there is work, peoples whose labor is in demand. We know this but shows just how far it is from rounding up just the bad guys.

"U.S. job growth over the first five months of 2025 is the worst since the Great Recession. When Donald Trump says the economy is 'booming,' he’s wrong..." www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Yep.

Everyone should say it: The thing about Stephen Miller is not that he is the brains behind Trumpism. Yes, he is one of the people who conceptualizes the impulses of the Trumpist movement and translates them into policy. But that's not what's interesting about Miller. It's not brains. It's bile.

Federal lawmakers say they have been denied access to an ICE facility in CA

The wear of the nametape for soldiers engaging in operations with their units is not optional under AR 670-1. If you see National Guard soldiers without their nametapes, ask them who ordered the 670-1 violation.

I notice people calling what we’re seeing these last couple of days “riots.” I was here during the 1992 Los Angeles riots. That’s not what this is. Local police can handle this, but ICE needs to back off—especially with these amateur hires who don’t know what the f*ck they’re doing.

In a world full of Stephen Millers, be a Terry Moran.

The No Kings mobilizations on June 14 were already planned as a peaceful stand against authoritarian overreach and the gross abuse of power Trump’s Administration has shown. Now, this military escalation only confirms what we’ve known: This government wants to rule by force, not serve the people.

It’s outrageous to suspend @terrymoranabc.bsky.social. More capitulation by ABC…

Nothin but the facts

I now believe that by the end of summer things will be so much worse than anyone expects

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha no.

That didn’t take long. Hold onto your hats, they’re making their power play.

My message to the people of California. Trump is threatening to use the marines against the American people. He is a despot. Californians -be strong. You are the front line in the fight for democracy. The free world stands with you. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yu20...

Timely historical reminder: California was acquired by the United States from Mexico after the Mexican-American War. The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, signed in 1848, officially ended the war and ceded California, along with other territories, to the US in exchange for $15 million.

At ABC News paying Trump $ is fine, telling the truth is not. Support pro-democracy independent media. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

Trump’s National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey, was hit with a whopping 18 health violations and the lowest grade in the county after an inspection last month.

Images of tanks pulling up for a huge PARADE that NO ONE asked for that will cost money & take military personnel away from more important things at a time when Americans are being told we don’t have money for food & healthcare seems wild to me.

January Trump approval on the economy: plus +8.24 points Today Trump approval on the economy: minus -15.75 January Trump approval on inflation: plus +1.99 Today Trump approval on inflation: minus -22.24 So clearly it's time to deploy the Marines in L.A.? www.newsweek.com/donald-trump...

Glad its happening here in WA. Every blue state governor needs to do the same, as we're all next.
