Trump incited attacks against law enforcement. He then pardoned the attackers. Now he says he won’t tolerate attacks against law enforcement. But what he means is he feels very comfortable using force against those who disagree with him. In fact few ideas are more core to his presidency. Thugocracy.

Remember. This all started because #ICE was camping out at the #LosAngeles #DHS facility, then kidnapping parents and children—arriving for their families’ scheduled immigration appointments. Regular Angelenos tried to physically stop agents from kidnapping kids; then the gov’t teargassed everyone.

UNREAL. ICE implies in a sworn declaration that MOST of the Venezuelans sentenced to hard labor in a brutal Central American prison without charge or trial or so much as a cursory hearing had never been convicted or even charged with ANY CRIME whatsoever, not even a trivial one, anywhere, ever!

Trump quoted Hitler and said he'd unleash the National Guard against the "enemy from within" before the election. Here we are folks.

Earlier today ICE agents hit someone with a car and tear gassed a neighborhood, sparking several fires and disrupting businesses. Immigrants, by contrast, did not.

Sending 2,000 troops to Los Angeles is the same thing as sending a few dozen random people to a gulag in El Salvador, they're doing this because it's a thing they've always wanted to do, not because of any broader goal or coherent plan. Subordination of strategy to tactical planning.

1/ If accurate, this is almost certainly a conflict with the Posse Comitatus Act, which prohibits the use of the military for domestic law enforcement, including the National Guard if they are federalized.

These are the proactive steps states need to be taking right now. Another thing: every Democratic governor needs to have a sit-down now with the state adjutant general to carefully review that person's understanding of their responsibilities to their state, its citizens and the federal constitution.

the white house thinks brute force is, no pun intended, a trump card. they don’t anticipate pushback and they don’t know how to handle it with anything other than escalation. the issue is that each escalation is itself a gamble. if protesters refuse to back down, you’ve lost face. (1/?)

Watch this. ICE raided an LA elementary school graduation to disappear parents, who were forced to leave their kids behind because the parents didn't have papers but the kids do. Ask yourself what you will do when ICE descends on your community. Prepare for it NOW. No one deserves this.

I'm not from the U.S, so ofc my opinion isn't that important, but just getting in early to say: DO NOT BLAME THESE PROTESTORS FOR WHAT THE REGIME DOES NEXT.

i don’t know what to say about the images coming out of LA right now. but in case you need it, here’s a reminder that out in the streets, only water goes in your eyes. flush with water. take your clothes off when you get home & take a cool shower, wash yourself with dish soap a few times. godspeed.

I'm imagining ICE doing to NYC what it's doing to LA — and the people of NYC responding the way people are in LA — and it all happening under Mayor Cuomo. He'll side with ICE, DHS and, of course, the NYPD. This man, who hates the city and doesn't live here, can not become mayor. Don't rank him.

L.A. is a Mexican-American city. The majority of the population is made up of racial and ethnic minorities. We are all happy living together and really do not want to see our friends, neighbors and families being terrorized by federal robo-cops. This is bullshit.

Stephen Miller is fulfilling his high school wet dream of terrorizing all the Brown people in Los Angeles. My daughter's friends who went to SaMo High with him said he used to seethe while the morning announcements were repeated in Spanish. Hell, they did that when I went there. (Mesozoic age.)

There were a few hundred people protesting the ICE actions in California today. Most probably lived in the neighborhood that had been raided by armed, uniformed men who looked like soldiers and not police. The idea that the response to this 2,000 National Guard is fucking insane.

If the causation is here — if he really did resign over this — that’s huge. That is very indicative of some extremely questionable decisions.
