California representatives did a check in where migrants were being detained. They found no beds, no food and no water. Children were among the detained.

Smart move by the LAPD—they need to stay ahead of this wag-the-dog operation Trump and Hegseth are running.

This is a major escalation: threatening to turn the US military on its own citizens. This is NOT allowed! This dumbass has no idea what he is doing!

Please help us. We have people who’ve been hurt just trying to help others. More are out now. Please, record everything. We will hold those accountable who are breaking the law and attacking our communities. Do not provoke.

Abolish ICE

Doesn’t sound like we need the national guard. 🤔

The world is watching. And we have friends everywhere. Upload everything, every moment. Don’t give them the chance to twist the truth. We have people on the way to help. You’re not alone. ✊🌙💚

I agree with Gov Gavin Newsom that Trump’s take over of the CA National Guard is purposefully inflammatory. I also note this federalization is being done under 10 U.S.C. § 12406, which means the Guard troops will still be subject to the prohibitions in the Posse Comitatus Act.

“Tasted a little tear gas— tasted like fascism”

California Governor Gavin Newsom refers to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s threat to deploy US Marines to the LA area as “deranged behavior.”

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.

I’m seeing all these debates here about whether violence can be justified in some circumstances. That’s not helpful. It is beside the point. This is a battle over legitimacy and the field of that battle is public opinion. This is a flagrant abuse of power. It is a crisis entirely of the Presidents..

This isn’t even remotely legal what he is doing.

We’ve been warning about fascism for a very, very long time. It’s here. They are trying to deploy the military against their own citizens. Stop looking for heroes and do your part. It’s up to all of us.

Earlier today ICE agents hit someone with a car and tear gassed a neighborhood, sparking several fires and disrupting businesses. Immigrants, by contrast, did not.

At a raw, practical level, they’re just men with guns. Law enforcement is supposed to be different because of law. Because they are supposed to be restrained by warrants and rules and due process and and people’s rights. But once they discard all that, they are, fundamentally, just men with guns.

The federal government is taking over the California National Guard and deploying 2,000 soldiers in Los Angeles — not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle. Don't give them one. Never use violence. Speak out peacefully.

If you are National Guard or Active Duty military and you are being ordered to violate the constitutional rights of US citizens then this is the number to the GI Rights Hotline. There is support. You don’t have to go through with it. 877-447-4487

(🚨) BREAKING NEWS: TRUMP ADMINISTRATION ORDERS NATIONAL GUARD TO LOS ANGELES TO STOP PEACEFUL PROTESTS AGAINST ICE This is the moment many of us feared. Remember, Trump wants violence; he wants the martial law that any violence would quickly result in. I urge protesters to be smart and cautious.

It's finally coming out. I wonder if Gym J. will be covered in this. 🤔 Surviving Ohio State www.hbo.com/surviving-oh...

💥 BREAKING: Ukrainian drones flew out of grain train car hatches and destroyed 13 Russian tanks and more than a 100 armored vehicles and other equipment being transported by the Russian train in occupied southern Ukraine. The hatches appear to have been opened by remote control, again.

This is reprehensible.

The only person or ideology Leonard Leo is loyal to is himself & Catholic Integralism/Christofascism. He is transactional w trump, Fed Soc & originalism. Like Leo’s 6 Supremes, who swore under oath that Roe was settled law, Leo will say anything or play anyone to advance his Crusader goals.

“Since Thursday’s exchange [between Musk and Trump], at least three commercial space companies, Rocket Lab, Stoke Space and Jeff Bezos’s Blue Origin, have been contacted by government officials about the status of their rockets and when they might be available for government missions…”

Two babies have died from whooping cough in Kentucky. Neither they nor their parents had been vaccinated. The current whooping cough outbreak in the U.S. hasn’t grabbed the media spotlight as much as measles has, but it’s important to update your vaccination if you’re going to be around babies.

Ronan Farrow is one of the smartest reporters out there, we should read everything he writes.

ICYMI — ICE DIRECTOR: “These are real people with real families you’re hurting.” He says this not about immigrants… but about ICE agents. A record-setting lack of self-awareness.

A federal judge gave a former intelligence officer in the Washington police an 18-month sentence for leaking details of an investigation to Enrique Tarrio, the former leader of the far-right group the Proud Boys, and lying about it later.

There are only two commissioners left at the FCC

But why defund schools? To curate failure — to say that public schools are broken and public school teachers are inept all in a push to privatize public schools. To dumb down the populace. To demonize a system that educates over 90% of kids in this state… open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...
