You know which group were the best at protesting their government while getting tear gassed? The people of Hong Kong. We must learn from them.

Trump’s order to send 2,000 National Guard troops to Los Angeles following protests of ICE immigration raids, despite statements by state + local authorities that such action will threaten the region, is a flagrant abuse of power + an impeachable offense. www.impeachtrumpagain.org @fsfp.bsky.social

Healthcare for seniors is not waste, fraud, or abuse. Food for hungry kids is not waste, fraud, or abuse. A $45 military parade for a draft dodging felon is waste, fraud, and abuse. Paying the National Guard to attack US citizens is waste, fraud, and abuse.

I don’t think people should engage in violence and vandalism and I don’t think federal agents should provoke people to engage in violence and vandalism. Too many law enforcement officers sworn to protect and serve now look and act like they are in Fallujah.

You just know these criminals watched money go to Ashli Babbit’s family and said, “We need to get in on this”. But the amazing officers who fought that day have received nothing. Party of law enforcement my ass. I support @libradunn1.bsky.social @michaelfanone.bsky.social @sergeantaqgo.bsky.social

In his first presidency, Trump’s business pledged to not make deals with foreign governments. In his second, he accepted a jet worth hundreds of million from Qatar just weeks after he announced a deal to build a golf resort there. americanoversight.org/trumps-free-...

Sen Bernie Sanders (I-VA) just now on CNN: "We have a President moving this country rapidly into authoritarianism. He's suing media who criticize him. He's going after law firms that have clients who were against him. He's suing universities who teach courses he doesn't like"

Also, don't flush your eyes with milk if you're tear gassed; it's ineffective and potentially dangerous. Use saline or distilled water.

The National Guard has arrived in Los Angeles, but they were not requested by California. Both Governor Newsom and Mayor Bass made it clear that the state did not authorize or want federal troops deployed.

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.

Big point that is being missed: without the insurrection act, the activated Guard troops are now federal army and cannot Do law enforcement. Period

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.

ICE rolls in, LA rises up.🔥 If Stephen Miller was looking for immigrants to roll over and just take it from his ICE goons, he picked the wrong f*cking town. Between yesterday in LA City and Paramount today, the community is fighting back.

They don’t show up like this for school shootings. People ask how the public knows ICE is there? This is how. Nothing covert about it. They do it this way to make sure the entire world knows they’re coming. A full display of terror on our streets. To instill fear in America.

You know what would cut the deficit? Taxing the rich like they used to get taxed. In 1920 the super rich paid a 73% tax rate. Rates for the 1% were cut in half in the 80s and that’s when deficit spending began.

ICE isn’t rounding up migrants at Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ meatpacking plants. They're provoking riots in Los Angeles. I wonder, is this provocation laying the groundwork for a pretext to declare martial law? And then I remember all those many tanks shipped to DC, the home of so many protests.

People in ICE detention are being denied health care and adequate nutrition, often given spoiled food or nothing at all. Our government’s cruelty to immigrants is a moral failing — not a policy solution.

kind of just endlessly sad and grieving that there are so few voices in the public sphere making the basic principled argument that immigration is an affirmative good in every way and the best way for this country to serve humanity is to welcome people who want or need to leave their homes
