A grand total of 160 people have been arrested for protesting in LA in almost an entire week! That requires 4,700 armed troops? Only when you're Chicken Little trying to manufacture a crisis.

Protest is Patriotism In peace and with strength we shall overcome.

The court just confirmed what we all know: The military belongs on the battlefield, not on our city streets. End the unnecessary militarization of Los Angeles now, Donald Trump. Refusing to do so will only confirm your authoritarian tendencies. The country is watching.

So video of this 2012 interview is popping up on other sites. Feels super relevant at the moment. Wait for the moment Rubio gets pinned to the wall about his grandfather’s deportation order… (h/t @reuben_reyñoso)

SEN. PADILLA: “Saying I lunged is a lie, but that’s par for the course for this administration… I was behind the cameras listening, and at a certain point hearing Noem say they had to rescue LA from the Governor and Mayor was too much to take. So I raise my voice to ask a question.”

Newsom on Trump's military parade: "It's a vulgar display. It's the kind of thing you see with Kim Jong Un, you see it with Putin, you see it with dictators around the world that are weak ... Weakness masquerading as strength ... that's about as small as it gets ... that's Donald Trump."

Wow. California Sen. Alex Padilla is wrestled and detained by federal officers after showing up to DHS Sec. Kristi Noem's press conference in LA. (video from Bill Melugin of Fox News)

Double.

leftists: that thing you teach us in school to be terrified of is happening historians: that thing is definitely happening star wars: here is a beat-for-beat breakdown of how the thing happens, but with pew pew lasers. we know you watched it news outlets: these protesters are out of control

Remember if you’re at the “big insurrection” in LA to support small businesses.

If you haven’t heard of Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove… you have now. When she stepped out from the back without missing a beat, I knew it was on🔥 @kamlager-dove.house.gov

Where is the notorious Amy Gleason who was supposed to be leading DOGE? How was this story just dropped?! www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Curfew for DTLA tonight

Durbin to Bhattacharya: "I can't understand it. I disagree w/ this admin on so many things. But this is the one that really gets to me personally. To think this nation would walk away from medical research. For God's sake...cancer, your budget requests a 38% cut to the National Cancer Institute"

I suspect in the days ahead we will hear a large number of people saying publicly what no one has been saying publicly. I suspect everyone reading this knows what I am referring to. A POTUS who falsely accuses Democratic leaders of paying for a military invasion of the United States is a madman.

The Chicago-based American Medical Association plans to ask a U.S. Senate committee to investigate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s decision to overhaul a key vaccine advisory group, the medical association said in an emergency resolution passed Tuesday.

Los Angeles 2025

Thousands of people marching through Lower Manhattan now demanding ICE get out of New York City.

Costas knows full well the cost of him speaking up. @huffpost.com www.huffpost.com/entry/bob-co...

How do we get our timelines to show us the most recent posts? I'm tired of seeing old posts first.

What a week... and it's only Monday We at CDC swore an oath to defend the Constitution and do our jobs as best we can Protecting you, the American people, is our job. And we will protect you as long as we can To do that, we must rest to gather strength. Take care of yourself, #AltCitizen GN đź’š

Three things about this comment: 1. Homan is a White House adviser who doesn't have the power to arrest anyone. Neither does Trump. 2. Trump once again acts like he's not in charge. "If I were Tom, I'd do it." Uh, doesn't he work for you? 3. THREATENING TO ARREST A GOVERNOR IS A FIVE ALARM FIRE

Attended an event downtown LA today. Drove through downtown LA to get home. No riots. No looting. No burning cars. It's hard to overstate the extent to which this is a manufactured crisis.

"On the trail, Trump declared he would deport massive numbers of 'criminal aliens.' When he came into office, however, he faced a problem: The vast majority of undocumented immigrants are law abiding. But he came up with an answer: Create fake crimes and thereby turn the law abiding into criminals."

oh boy, had my own very liberal father ask if everything was OK in LA. That tells you how bad the media is covering this. I'm literally going to an Emmy event for The Last of Us tonight. Gyms are open. People are going to the movies and hiking in Griffith Park. Don't need no Marines.

I see protests in Texas now. It will be interesting to see if 🍊🤡💩 attacks Texas protesters like he’s doing in California or if he’ll leave his cronies in the red state alone.

RFK Jr. continues to demonstrate that a worm is continuing to feast on his cerebral matter. He has fired the entire CDC Vaccine panel. 17 members.

You know what to do…

The Posse Comitatus Act bars federal troops from participating in civilian law enforcement except when expressly authorized by law. This 147-year-old law embodies an American tradition that sees military interference in civilian affairs as a threat to both Democracy and Personal Liberty.

Utterly surreal hearing silence during the match instead of being lead by the 3252. Powerful AF. #lafc #abolishice

Where is our Khamel? #PelicanBrief

They’re arresting the wrong people. The criminals are in the White House.
