If THIS is a PEACEFUL PROTEST, then I am Jesus Christ. m.youtube.com/watch?v=b3_O...

Newsom: This Saturday, he's ordering our American heroes, the United States military, and forcing them to put on a vulgar display to celebrate his birthday, just as other failed dictators have done in the past

Navarro: I'm very happy to see somebody that isn't afraid to speak up and call an authoritarian an authoritarian. And if it's Newsom, as a result of what's happening in California now, I welcome it because I have been so thirsty for somebody that is not cowardly

Every major Dem politician needs to realize that, in this environment, they can schedule a "speech to the nation," like Newsom did, and get tons of media coverage. Just do it.

@pelosi.house.gov: "On January 6th...we begged the president of the United States to send in the National Guard. He would not do it...And yet, in a contra-constitutional way, he has sent the National Guard into California. Something is very wrong with this picture."

If you don’t think Reform are being directly aided and abetted by the British press, then ask yourself this: why has a question asked by a Reform MP at PMQs, about banning the burka, been front and centre in discussions on the BBC, LBC and Sky News for over a week?

The hypocrisy is strong in Moses Mike Johnson.

Met an active duty member of the military yesterday who filed conscientious objector paperwork in response to deployment of military on U.S. soil. Was told multiple Army have filed, unknown quantities in other branches.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

ICE was "responding" to the chaos ICE itself created. It was not responding to the way LA is without intentional provocation from ICE. And now the National Guard is "responding" to the chaos ICE created. It is not responding to the way LA is without intentional provocation from ICE.

every day I’m even more in awe of greta thunberg.

Start with them.

Truth-tellers, not rioters. Protect these two men at all costs. “You feel tough with your assault rifles and your sticks. You should be standing here with us. You’re on the wrong side of history.” “John Lewis said make good trouble… that means make trouble on behalf of democracy.”

Had not realised that the much quoted figure of £99b to renationalised the Water Companies was from a report commissioned by the Water Companies themselves! This report ⬇️ certainly puts the cat amongst the pigeons! www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Watching Tom Homan talk and Stephen Miller tweet really drives home the fact that not only are they not sending in their best and their brightest, they don't HAVE any best or brightest.

The people in the face masks are ICE

Huntington Beach, c’mon down to the Civic Center!

*taps the sign*

We were warned. People chose to ignore it. Now this is our reality.

It. Was. Sickening.

It’s obvious but worth drawing out what raids of Home Depot’s of all places is about. It’s rounding up people who are really eager for work and for whom there is work, peoples whose labor is in demand. We know this but shows just how far it is from rounding up just the bad guys.

To anyone who wondered, what could go wrong if we elected as president a highly volatile, deeply dishonest, simple-minded cretin with a revenge fetish, the answer is THIS. All of THIS.

That fall popped all his neck rolls out and everything. Tough day.

"In our federal system, the National Gov. possesses only limited powers; the States and the people retain the remainder. The States have broad authority to enact legislation for the public good—what we have often called a 'police power.' The Fed. Gov., by contrast, has no such authority."-SCOTUS '14

One in 35 Americans live in Los Angeles County. Los Angeles is America.

Did you know that when Pam Bondi said "We presented El Salvador with an arrest warrant and they agreed to return him," she was admitting she failed to follow the extradition process, proving he could have been returned at any time? My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/abrego-gar...

For anyone who doesn’t live in Los Angeles or understand the geography of the city, the area is actually quite small where police are currently rioting.

FOTUS is deploying the military to attack citizens who are peacefully protesting. Just like millions of us will be doing for NO KINGS Day next Saturday. He is using this tactic to scare us. No way! We will not be deterred. See you on the streets America! #FOTUSIsACriminal

I am on the other side of the world from Los Angeles and I just heard a news grab on our national radio station of Maxine Waters telling a cop "Are you gonna shoot an elected representative? If you shoot me, you better shoot straight" and she remains one of the best to ever do it

Everyone should say it: The thing about Stephen Miller is not that he is the brains behind Trumpism. Yes, he is one of the people who conceptualizes the impulses of the Trumpist movement and translates them into policy. But that's not what's interesting about Miller. It's not brains. It's bile.

LAPD when they think nobody is watching

ABC obeys in advance. Cowards made the decision to suspend Terry Moran after the White House cried about his 100% accurate post. Stephen Miller doesn’t even have bellhop status. They just allow him to think he does.

Mr. Authoritarian President, why weren’t you as interested in upholding “very strong law and order” during the insurrection on the Nation’s Capital as you are now in LA? Was your inaction then a result of your having incited the insurrection? #WeMustImpeachTrump!

Really Cool how nobody wanted to take this shit seriously

Disgusting

I’m not any sort of Christian myself, but anyone who supports this fellow isn’t either.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

Incredible timing.

While Vance says Americans should come first, Leo XIV counters: “Jesus doesn’t ask us to rank our love for others.” Scholar Butler calls it a direct rebuke of Christian nationalism, which puts faith in service of state power instead of upholding human rights. www.rawstory.com/pastor-pope-...

A reminder that January 6 insurrection was invited by the same criminal who is inciting and creating manufactured chaos throughout the United States today. He should’ve been sent to jail for several lifetime sentences, not sent to the White House.

Everything that's happening in his second term was easily foreseeable...because he literally campaigned on this! This was his platform. Anyone trying to deny otherwise is lying to themselves.

What we’re seeing in L.A. isn’t an insurrection—so why federalize the National Guard? Why the threat of using the U.S. military against civilians? We’re not there yet—but we’re closer than we think. Watch this Project 2025 reminder until the end. Then view everything happening through that lens.
