“If you saw all this in any other country — soldiers sent to crush dissent, union leaders arrested, opposition politicians threatened — it would be clear that autocracy had arrived. The question, now, is whether Americans who hate tyranny can be roused to respond.”

The hellscape that is Southern California right now (as photographed by my dad). Clearly the national guard needs to save us from this chaos.

California Attorney General Rob Bonta points out that Donald Trump is making "deliberate and intentional" use of trigger words that suggest he is angling to invoke the Insurrection Act because he desperately wants the power it would give him.

This morning WSJ publishes a dangerously stupid op-ed by RFKJr. This evening, the editorial board says we opposed his nomination to head HHS, and we were right to do so, because he's a dangerous nutcase.

The Trump's DOJ is paying *$5 million* to the family of a woman who got shot because she 1) trespassed on federal property; 2) tried to break into a closed chamber of federal officials; and 3) ignored law enforcement commands to stop. 🎶 just a reminder 🎶

They keep talking about punishing protestors as if this country wasn’t FOUNDED BY PROTESTERS WHO ENSHRINED THE RIGHT TO PROTEST, I AM SO TIRED OF HOW STUPID THINGS HAVE BECOME

I was in the car a lot today, and I dipped in to cable news and let me tell you, they all seem very eager to remind us that Trump’s immigration policies that poll at 51% are “popular” and these ICE raids are probably a “winner” for him.

All of us who are able and NOT marginalized need to be on the streets on Saturday for the No Kings protest. THIS IS IT. They’re testing the limits of their power. I don’t want to live in a dictatorship, especially under Racist Grandpa. LFG.

People just because Gavin Newsom is good at theater doesn’t mean he’s a good guy. Sure he said something showy for the media but he’s still a trans-hating creep who constantly vetoes great legislation because he’s afraid his corporate daddies still turn off the tap.

I do blame the media for not explaining what was perfectly obvious to all of us paying attention: that you could not have mass deportations the way Trump spoke of them consistent with order and due process.

He’s right in the opposite way he intends. A government cannot function when it loses the consent of those it governs. Government should try not to do that.
