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

BREAKING: Tonight, California Gov. Newsom will be addressing California — and the nation — LIVE at around 6:30pm PT regarding Trump’s illegal militarization of LA and his broader assault on our democracy. Watch exclusively on the MeidasTouch channel.

I’ve been saying that I felt Trump’s dramatic escalation in recent days was driven in part by Musk’s emasculation of him last week. I also wonder whether it’s being driven by Zelensky’s profound humiliation of Putin, and Putin lashing out at Trump for not delivering Ukraine to him.

Every Democratic elected official at every level of government should be doing solidarity press conferences backing up Governor Newsom and the state of California in this fight. We have to communicate clearly to all voters about what is happening here for it is coming to every state soon.

Two main reasons for military escalation: - Clear DHS/ICE not capable of removing 10-15m people Miller wants removed - Fear, terror so more “self-deport” Their strategy is failing, like the Trump Presidency itself, and they are panicking and just completely losing their shit.

Why should you be concerned about what RFK is doing to ACIP (the committee that reviews vaccines, sets recommendations and vaxx schedules)? Covered by private health insurance, Medicaid or Medicare Part D? Your vaxx coverage is tied to ACIP recs. If the recs change, so will insurer obligations.

I would like to see the clips of RFK Jr pledging to not interfere with ACIP or limited access to vaccines for Americans on every news channel on loop please.

Anything other than peaceful protest plays right into their hands. It's why @indivisible.org stresses non-violence in all of their protest organization.

They should have started this in February, but it's the right idea. I hope the execution is a combination of fact checking and putting a spotlight on the community-level actions that are happening (because there really are a lot of them; @ariellaelm.bsky.social documents them every day)

Every governor needs to say this loudly and publicly. Honestly, I don't know which version of Newsom is real but this is very important to say with this level of voracity and specificity and at this moment. This is worth your time.

This is an important reminder: even the LAPD acknowledged yesterday that everything was peaceful. Then Trump brought the chaos. He is responsible.

THREAD Next Saturday's #NoKings protests need everyone possible. They're playing this card, and if the protests are big and visible enough, we've taken away their power. Go to nokings.org to find a spot near you. There are a bunch near me.

Kudos to the ABC7 anchor for calling the administration's tactics as being "war-like tactics" + stressing people are upset that members of their community are being taken away.

Next Saturday, June 14 -- find a #NoKings protest. It's community, it's enthusiasm, it's a public display of resistance. And then take that energy to keep pushing back. www.nokings.org

If you live in LA and you need a reminder of why voting matters Just imagine if Robert Luna wasn’t our sheriff, and instead alex villanueva had won another term Most people probably don’t think of the importance of voting for sheriff on their ballot, but you are seeing it right now

I've written for Star Wars, Marvel, Star Trek, and (unannounced upcoming very cool project), and the main thing is that you have to be fast, reliable, and easy to work with and VERY amenable to edits from multiple sources. No darlings here. And once you establish that, you're on their shortlist.
