It has been four days since Kristi Noem, the head of the department of homeland security, said this in public. If meant literally, it describes the end of democracy in California. If not meant literally, would be nice for that to be clarified and for the troops to leave. bsky.app/profile/just...

@msnbc.com reporter at the 1:15 mark. “The chaos you’re seeing is not the result of peaceful protestors, it’s the result of actions of law enforcement, specifically the Los Angeles sheriff’s department.” #nokings

Remarkable. MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful." Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd. Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

A crowd of several dozen anti-Trump protesters is posted up at the parade exit, lot of back and forth with attendees

Trump supporters surround, scream, and chant at a lone protester. When one man rips his sign out of his hands he opens his backpack and pulls out another. Law enforcement and event security did nothing but watch and later told him that if things escalated he would be removed.

So about an hour out from parade start, still plenty of room all along the route, doesn’t seem like anyone is fighting for space. Abundant water on a day that seems designed to induce heat stroke, though not nearly enough food. In general a level of turn out that doesn’t justify the price tag.

“Remigration” is a white nationalist term adopted by the fascist right so it make sense that this president would use it when he openly admits this was never about targeting the bad apples among migrants

Sen. Chris Murphy calls back to Trump's pardons for Jan. 6 rioters. "The message [...is that if...] you carry out violence on behalf of the White House -- you're excused. You lodge normal, protected protest against this White House? You are thrown to the ground and handcuffed."
