What’s happening in LA is a reminder that we are not free in this country. The hammer they’ve built is built for you. The cages they’ve built are ready to throw you in. They’re eager to get to it.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

This is on all the Senators who turned a blind eye and voted to confirm. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/09/h...

Marine veterans are speaking out against the troop deployment in Los Angeles. Across the country, they’re taking down their American flags that have flown in front of their homes for years. Remember, we have friends everywhere.

see, the thing *i’m* genuinely worried about is that RFK will effectively ban vaccines

Exactly.

#GVerse #MustWatch: Chris Murphy just perfectly explained what’s at stake with the #OrangeBuffoon’s authoritarian actions in Los Angeles. Everyone needs to see this. Please, Repost!!! Share far and wide!

⚠️ Warning: The Trump administration is circulating footage from 2020 to make the situation in L.A. appear more chaotic than it is. This is an intentional effort to manufacture a larger crisis. Stay alert. Pay attention. The propaganda machine is in overdrive.

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.”

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.

🧵: Also, to be clear, whilst deploying active duty US Marines to carry out police action in a US city is similar to federalising National Guard troops to do the same from a legal standpoint (as once federalised, the NG is functionally federal military), it is *very* different in practice. +

For anyone who doesn’t live in Los Angeles or understand the geography of the city, the area is actually quite small where police are currently rioting.

A second international reporter has been targeted while on the air. An Australian journalist was shot with a rubber bullet live during a broadcast from Los Angeles.

This officer is only one of so many others…🗽🇺🇸⚖️💙🩷🍀

Fake emergencies to justify crackdowns-not very original

Here we go again. Just like in 2020 right-wingers will be posting old videos or videos from other countries claiming it was today in the US. All for clicks and to fan the flames of division and hatred. It’s part of their standard playbook.

This...is...not...honest. This pic is from five years ago and not even in Los Angeles. Immoral opportunists like James Woods and Ted Cruz trade on lies to promote other lies.

True story bro.

What we’re seeing in L.A. isn’t an insurrection—so why federalize the National Guard? Why the threat of using the U.S. military against civilians? We’re not there yet—but we’re closer than we think. Watch this Project 2025 reminder until the end. Then view everything happening through that lens.

A video explaining the terms about federalization of the Guard, the difference between the Guard, Reserves, and Active Duty, and when the guard or active duty can engage in law enforcement. Hint: the guard as activated in Calif cannot. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/video-expl...

Undocumented immigrants paid over $70 billion in US taxes last year. Amazon and Jeff Bezos paid ZERO.

If you agree, please share!

US Sen. Brian Schatz sounds the dictatorship alarm

Shocker — @RepTimBurchett helps Trump with his crypto corruption scam. We would pay big bucks to hear Burchett try to explain what a bitcoin reserve is and what the bill does, without notes written for him. (Or even just what bitcoin is) blockchain.news/flashnews/co...

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.

Donald Trump has become convinced that Republicans cannot win the midterms, and that a blue wave would effectively end his presidency and confront him with two years of investigations and impeachment proceedings. He needs martial law as an excuse to cancel the midterms. So America is on a clock now.

Deploying the military on U.S. soil as law enforcement against Americans was on page 555 of Project 2025. So don’t say “I didn’t vote for this,” because you did. This isn’t a response. This was always their plan.

That the Trump administration has made no attempt to de-escalate the current situation--which every other administration in US history would have -- demonstrates that its goal is to stoke and exploit the crisis.

No other #SundaySentence in my head this morning than this from Stephen Stills: “There’s something happening here What it is ain’t exactly clear There’s a man with a gun over there Telling me I got to beware I think it’s time we stop Children, what’s that sound…”
