Agree with this. Either a majority or big plurality are already unhappy about this needless troop deployments. Now setting up for a boffo totally unprecedented domestic display of military power and priming to unleash troops on anyone who says it’s not awesome.

Incredibly chaotic scene Los Angeles as LAPD is pushing forward a skirmish line and violently arresting anti-ICE protesters. You can also hear me grunt when police shoot me in the abdomen with some kind of projectile.

what i like about this post is it is an illustration of one of the most distinctive qualities of williams' work and mainstream punditry in general, which is a belief that history began a decade ago

Whenever someone says they’re afraid of downtown in American cities, I’m always like, brother, that’s where the Fogos de Chão are.

THERE ARE NO RIOTS Guys. I'm in LA. I'm going to a variety show tonight across town. There are not riots happening. There are peaceful protests being fired upon. Peaceful means nonviolent hut it does not mean sedate. No rioting, no looting is happening. LA is protecting neighbors.

the point of protests is that they are inherently "illegitimate" expressions of dissent in a society where "legitimate" expressions of dissent are either impossible or so insufficient that they become a joke

For those who live elsewhere, this is the heart of downtown #LosAngeles. My friends are here. My union is here (sup @wgawest.bsky.social). My teenager is here. People are passing out pastries & singing & praying. All we want is for our neighbors not to be kidnapped off the streets.

I am in downtown Los Angeles right now and it is completely surreal to hear that Trump is sending Marines here. We are listening to mariachi music. People have dogs. There are teenagers here. It is utterly and completely peaceful. Please tell your friends.

Non-violent resistance to fascism is necessary. But the goal posts will always shift until eventually peaceful protest becomes the same as "violence".

Senator Ted Cruz posted a dramatic video of LAPD cars on fire with the caption “this… is… not… peaceful.” What he didn’t mention? The footage was from 2020, not 2025. His post on X falsely implied it was current, part of a broader effort to spread lies and manufacture a crisis.

I want to report some good news from LA: ICE picked a hotel in Pasadena to be their headquarters for this side of the city. The residents of Pasadena (myself included) would not stand for this and protested all yesterday in front of the hotel until, eventually, the hotel kicked out ICE!!

It's hard to overstate how destructive the reflexive "this is a distraction!" stuff that politicians and commentators and people are always peddling. Everything is happening all at once. That's how authoritarianism works. If you can't navigate and synthesize this, you're not meeting the moment.

Worked on the show as a runner in the aughts. He’s always been an opportunistic grifter, and he definitely sees himself as part of the right-wing media. This doesn’t surprise me, and it is so fucking stupid.

Worth bearing in mind that illegal entry is a misdemeanor and being unlawfully present in the country is not even a criminal offense, but a civil one. This is the equivalent of saying we need to torch the Constitution & send in the SWAT team to catch jaywalkers & people with overdue library books.

Dozens of journalists were assaulted by law enforcement in Los Angeles this weekend. The press were just doing their job -- a sacred one explicitly protected by law. Press rights orgs will follow up collectively tomorrow. Tonight, I emailed evidence to local/state/federal officials. My sign off:
