The problem is not that there are too many Americans protesting in the streets. The problem is that there are not enough. Not by a long shot.

ICE is a much greater threat to this country than illegal immigrants. The current administration ia by far the greatest threat this country faces. The problem is not st our borders. It is in the White House.

My hunch is that, as we saw with Lafayette Park, National Guard troops are not going to be as compliant as this administration thinks. It’s one thing to unleash cops consumed by warrior cop culture on neighborhoods. Quite another to send reservists who are also accountants, barbers, and teachers.

ICE is in Portland making arrests and stopping people in their cars even without having committed a traffic violation. Stay safe out there and stay vigilant: www.facebook.com/share/v/1JU7... #ResistIce #Portland #VancouverWa

The situation in Los Angeles is about to plunge us into a national emergency, except the people that normally solve national emergencies are the ones creating it.

1/ If accurate, this is almost certainly a conflict with the Posse Comitatus Act, which prohibits the use of the military for domestic law enforcement, including the National Guard if they are federalized.

We are at the point that Blue States nationwide have to research if it's legally possible that the state and their citizens can withhold taxes to the federal government and pay them only to their state. Blue states should not fund Trump's war on Blue States and our freedoms.

Trump and those around him have sought from day one a pretext for unleashing military force against the American people. Today's actions are bad. But things will only get worse from here. The best possible response to it is collective action, stand up to force and document and share everything.

Hey everyone, you want to know a fun factoid? Almost all of the federal agents currently in LA aren’t local, which means they’re staying at a hotel somewhere. Hotels have fire alarms. Wanna know another fun fact? If protests start popping off in other states, they can’t be everywhere at once.

LAPD helicopters are starting to buzz around again tonight. LAPD statements so far are vague and riddled with lawyer-speak, and our Mayor should order the police chief to provide full & live transparency regarding LAPD operations.

Pete Hesgeth — who wants to rename the Navy ship that honors Medgar Evers, a WWII veteran who landed on Omaha Beach — is using that same beach for a photo op in which he promises we will “never forget” the veterans there. What an unbelievable asshole.

And there you have it. ICE didn't target migrant workers in Kristi Noem's farms or Sarah Huckabee Sanders' meatpacking plants because they wanted to create a riot in LA as a pretext to declaring martial law. They don't care about undocumented migrants, they only care about controlling US citizens.

Undocumented immigrants pay almost $100 billion in taxes each year. The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes each year. Stop pretending that immigrants are the ones taking advantage of taxpayers.

All these Trumpers are in for a hurting real bad once they feel how important immigrants are to the economy. It's going to be immense pain. And you know what? The country did it to itself—the self-destructive power of white supremacy.

A reminder tonight: “Be reflective if you must be armed. If you carry a weapon in public service, God bless you and keep you. But know that evils of the past involved policemen and soldiers finding themselves, one day, doing irregular things. Be ready to say no.” Timothy Snyder “On Tyranny”

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.

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.
