Trump has wanted a police state with himself sitting at the top as its undisputed boss since his first administration. The standoff in L.A. shows how truly eager he is to turn America’s vast warmaking powers inward on his domestic foes and critics. Story: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

NEW As usual for major news events, disinformation on social media is running unchecked during the ICE protests in LA So people are turning to chatbots like Grok and ChatGPT for fact checking The problem is, the bots are making the situation much worse www.wired.com/story/grok-c...

Tanks rolling through the nation's capital. The president explicitly threatening peaceful, lawful protesters. On the other coast, the US Marines deployed on US soil against the American people. Just another Tuesday in Trump's America.

"Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” has $185bn for ICE, which is more than the annual military budgets of the UK and France combined. Wherever ICE raids trigger protests, Trump can send in the troops." My column. www.ft.com/content/3d6c...

FTC's latest move is to see how many trans kids they can kill. This is dangerous and beyond stupid, and way beyond anything the FTC is supposed to have authority over.

A few words about “peaceful protests.” 1. At least 5% of people are uncontrollable assholes and will behave badly in any situation, let alone a high-tension one. So a large protest without ANYONE throwing shit, yelling slurs or for violence, etc. is likely not achievable. /1

1. In a major ruling, a federal court has ruled that Trump's executive orders banning funding to orgs that promote "gender ideology" is likely unconstitutional. This will help protect or restore funding for LGBT centers who are plaintiffs. Subscribe to support our journalism. Order inside story.

New from 404 Media: here's our report on the aircraft circling above the LA protests. Local, state, DHS, military all flew. Left: aircraft from air base. Right: a distinctive high altitude/hexagonal flight pattern, looks like a Predator drone (it flew to border after) www.404media.co/dhs-black-ha...

This is exactly what happened to me. Watching Democratic Leadership spend all of 2024 telling us that electing Trump would be the end of the world, and then waking up in 2025 to find out they didn’t actually care, that did it.

I'm a believer in nonviolent resistance for moral reasons, and I think it can be incredibly powerful when well-planned and sustained, but don't tell me violence doesn't work. The people successfully rolling back my rights were sending bomb threats to children's hospitals.

We call for the immediate release of our brother David Huerta of @seiuca.bsky.social from ICE custody & demand any pending charges against him be dropped. Pres Huerta was exercising his 1st amendment rights & advocating for working people when he was violently assaulted by masked ICE agents 1/4
