California representatives did a check in where migrants were being detained. They found no beds, no food and no water. Children were among the detained.

Which National Guard, exactly? If California, Newsom better command them to refuse unlawful orders. Other states' forces? Is California going to allow an invading army on its streets?

Whenever law enforcement agents are given a quota of a specific number of people to arrest or detain, especially with the WH policy director screaming at their superiors to hit those target numbers, bad things are going to happen. Quotas always result in civil rights violations.

Immigrants are extremely good and cool. I want more immigrants in this country for a whole shitload of reasons. They contribute to culture. They contribute to the economy. I've always liked having them as neighbors. Someone please invent a pro-immigration politician so I can vote for them.

they're doing this because the Insurrection Act sounds cool and edgy but they can't actually justify using the Insurrection Act. it's a silly action by an insecure administration desperately to seem manly and powerful. it should be criticized relentlessly, but it should also be laughed at.

Cannot stress enough that this is a pitiful action by a weak, scared, pathetic group of insecure, wannabe authoritarians, and they should be mocked until the end of time for wanting to bring in the military over some people protesting them at a Home Depot.

Whatever happens in Los Angeles tonight is the playbook they’re going to deploy on blue districts across the country. And we warned people for months leading up to the election about exactly this.

My hunch is that, as we saw with Lafayette Park, National Guard troops are not going to be as compliant as this administration thinks. It’s one thing to unleash cops consumed by warrior cop culture on neighborhoods. Quite another to send reservists who are also accountants, barbers, and teachers.

Cops signed up to crack American skulls in their own neighborhoods. That's the job. Reservists didn't. And I can only imagine what happens when they run into a friend or family member in the protests.

For years, conservatives have worked themselves up into frenzy over the prospect of the military being deployed to come after them. Now that it could happen to someone else, they’re celebrating it.

the funniest thing about the “ice agents are human beings with families” line is that there is no evidence to support the claim. oh they’re real people? what are their names? as far as I’m concerned they’re the T-1000 until proven otherwise

ICE arrested 36 Chinese & Taiwanese immigrants after raiding an LA nightclub. That's them, ziptied on the sidewalk. Yo Asians—if you weren't already outraged and mobilizing on behalf of others, guess what? That "First they came for the..." poem has gotten up to us. www.latimes.com/california/s...

Booker: "We have a president who did nothing as people stormed our Capitol, & then when those people who viciously beat police & led to some of their deaths - therefore cop killers - were convicted, he pardoned them. So for him to be talking about responsive law enforcement is hypocritical at best"

Don’t play into this dude’s game. You will never, ever oppose fascism in the perfectly appropriate way to please him. This is the same guy who made fun of pro-choice protesters because he thought they were overreacting since Roe would obviously never be overturned.

Judging by the scenes of tear gas and ICE vehicles ramming a crowd in LA, Miller got his wish. I hope he chokes on it.

There was reporting that the other week Stephen Miller went ape on Tom Homan for weak numbers, and now we have a panicked large ICE mobilization in Miller's childhood SoCal... seems pretty A-B.

DEVELOPING: No warning. No reason. NYPD officers rushed into the crowd and tackled a protester this weekend. His body was limp. He couldn’t move. He said, “I can’t feel my legs.” He might never walk again. For showing up. This is brutality. This is America.

Ezra Klein spent years whitewashing Paul Ryan’s nonsense at the Washington Post and what he got for it is more money and influence because that’s how the system works. Kicking the poors in the teeth is how the people in the media club - Klein, Tapper, Haberman etc - get ahead.

I really disagree. insulting fascists doesn't make you a worse person. and in many cases refusing to say the truth about what's happening out of politeness erodes your position and betrays your allies. 1
