This moment is why we were so opposed to Pete Hegseth being confirmed.

Hegseth is now threatening to send the Marines to LA to suppress protesters against ICE’s brutal assault on immigrant garment workers. Just process that: Sending in the *military* to crack down on protesters. We’re now at severe risk of martial law. That’s what they’ve wanted all along.

BREAKING: please, everyone, turn on local news. there is NOTHING going on in LA. Its over, the protest broke up hours ago. Local news helicopters are trolling for trouble and there's none. Just some LAPD/LASD road blocks. If they 'send the Guard' now, its just because they really really want to.

1. we don't know if trump has invoked the insurrection act 2. *even if he has* the insurrection act does not unlock any new substantive powers for the president. it allows the president to send use the military to enforce existing law. that's it! the constitution is still 100% in force.

There are two pathways to what Trump is doing: 1) He is federalizing 2000 National Guard troops; or 2) He is deploying 2000 members of another state’s National Guard with the permission of *that* state’s governor. These posts walk through the relevant authorities—and the questions they raise:

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.

🚨🚨🚨 I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x convicted felon & adjudicated rapist Trump did 🚨🚨🚨

🪿 who is shooting the teargas and flashbangs 🪿 WHO IS SHOOTING THE TEAR GAS AND FLASHBANGS www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Everyone in America being treated like Black Americans has them really upset.

Hope other countries are excited for the LA Olympics!

Trump is deploying the military on U.S. soil to crush the first amendment rights of citizens protesting his administration’s illegal abduction and trafficking, and detention of immigrants. This is the authoritarianism we warned about.

Stephen Miller had the cojones to call the ICE protests in Los Angeles, an “insurrection.” So, I am just going to remind everyone what an actual insurrection looks like.

ICE isn’t rounding up migrants at Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ meatpacking plants. They're provoking riots in Los Angeles. I wonder, is this provocation laying the groundwork for a pretext to declare martial law? And then I remember all those many tanks shipped to DC, the home of so many protests.

Reports that ICE ran a barricade and hit protesters in LA

Here are some texts I got from an immigration lawyer friend of mine. Shared with permission. Some of the bleakest shit I’ve ever heard.

We’re now seeing paramilitary ICE raids in LA — with full on military garb, military tanks, flash bang grenades & the arrest of a major labor leader. This is a core manifestation of fascism — using federal forces to put down dissent. If we don’t stop this now, this is the future everywhere.

china is bad bc they use tanks to disperse protestors and the tanks only stop moving when one brave man stands in front of the tank, unlike america where uh uhhh uhhhhhhh

If you think you recognize any of these men seen in Chicago on Wednesday based on these tattoos, please send us a message. Signal is unraveled.66.

MAGA calls most immigrants freeloaders and criminals, but when ICE wants to make quota they show up at workplaces around the country No judicial arrest warrant in sight because they're not after criminals 44 "administrative" arrests. 44+ lives upended www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

EXTREMELY BAD NEWS for economic research, per former BLS Commissioner @ericagroshen.bsky.social on LinkedIn. BLS is suspending access to its restricted data "for the forseeable future." Applies to projects through the Federal Statistical Research Data Centers & onsite projects with BLS. #EconSky

We can't afford cancer care for veterans, school lunches for kids or Meals on Wheels for seniors because Trump is spending: • $1 billion to retrofit a hand-me-down Qatari plane • $330,000,000 to play golf • $100,000,000 to build a new ballroom • $92,000,000 for a birthday parade But DOGE

NEW: Reporting from @thecity.nyc shows how ICE's outrageous new operation to re-arrest people attending check-ins as part of compliance with their release is undermining the rule of law. One woman whose daughter-in-law was re-arrested says she's now too afraid to attend her court hearing.

You sometimes wonder if they hear themselves sometimes. Sadly this isn't satire.

LA fucking showing up.

ICE waited until a woman’s lawyer went to the restroom then dragged her away. She fainted from stress and they dragged her unconscious body into the elevator, refusing medical attention.

If you need a little feel-good video to end your week, this is IT.

Pretty sure this should tell you all you need to know about the veracity of the DOJ's charges against Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

So the conservative justices who had a meltdown over their "privacy" being violated by Dobbs protests in front of their homes are cool with Musk's Doge minions rampaging through the personal data of EVERY American. Cool. Cool. Double standard. So awesome.

Just remember that Trump and all his consiglieres confidently told us over and over again that Kilmar Abrego Garcia was *never* coming back to the US, to get us to demobilize, give up on politics, and internalize the idea that everything is futile.

So they pulled a random charge out of their asses? Scum. They’re scum.

1/4 At ICE’s Krome Detention Camp in Florida, Cuban immigrants formed a human "SOS" on the patio—desperate to alert the world. The facility is nearly 200% over capacity. Built for 600, it now holds 1,700. People sleep on floors, eat only a cup of rice a day, and go without medical care.

ATTACK THEM ON EVERY FUCKING THING. EVERY TIME. EVERY DAY. RUIN THEIR MISERABLE LIVES. SHAME THEIR SUPPORTERS AND THEIR FAMILIES. MAKE YOUR SUPPORTERS ASHAMED TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH THEM. You don’t even mention that he’s a rapist pedophile, why the fuck not? What’s wrong with you?

If only the New York Times had made this big of a deal in December 2022 when Trump called for “termination” of the Constitution. (That ran on Page 13. Yes, Page 13.)

And some say women are too emotional for positions of leadership 🙄

As we celebrate Pride let us pause for a moment to remember. This is an image of the AIDS Memorial Quilt on display October 11-13 1996 on the National Mall in Washington D.C. Let us never forget. #HappyPrideMonth

Twitter: this is how men with huge balls fight. This is what masculinity looks like Bluesky: this is the first messy breakup of pride month

the democrats should invite Elon to meet with them. tell him that the meeting is on a patch of sticks and leaves that APPEARS to be sitting atop solid ground. but here is the twist,

Weird they're showing Swan Lake on Fox right now

I'm just glad one of these men has the nuclear codes and the other has all our personal data.

I am sad for our country, but at least we are going out with some incredible content

Men are too emotional to use social media
