I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

A family member went to work at the AME church today…and was met by ICE. They’re crawling all over the church grounds, blocking traffic, and generally being obstructive. My family member and their colleagues believe it is intimidation ahead of Saturday. They are scared and now pissed, to boot.

ABC News fired reporter Terry Moran for criticizing Stephen Miller and Donald Trump, proving once again that corporate media is rudderless, cowardly and utterly complicit in enabling fascism.

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

I'm being told by eyewitnesses #ICE is waiting in hallways of #Houston immigration courts to arrest individuals when cases are dismissed due to a loophole. If you're an attorney (Spanish fluency preferred) and can volunteer time at the courthouse to help families please email [email protected]

Former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg announced he is backing Andrew Cuomo in the NYC mayoral race. So Bloomberg who gave us "stop and frisk" of Black and Latinos plus widespread Muslim profiling wants Cuomo. That tells us a lot.

Did ICE call in a fake emergency to the FDNY to give cover to a van leaving full of immigrants? They've done it before and looks like they've done it again. @hellgatenyc.com with the scoop. hellgatenyc.com/fdny-ice-hea...

It’s not a surprise that the man who purposely incited a violent attempt to overthrow an American election would now purposely incite violence on the streets of Los Angeles as a justification for military force against American citizens. Not a surprise at all.

The ongoing arrests in California of families and children obeying the law are evidence of a broader pattern of ICE’s renegade behavior across the country. The resulting peaceful demonstrations against these actions are a manifestation of understandable fear in our communities.

Surprise surprise – the myth of the “millionaire exodus” has been conclusively debunked as misinformation spread by those who don’t want to see wealth taxed fairly (because they’ve got a lot of it!) Time for the govt to stop hiding behind this excuse and bring in a wealth tax

Coupled with the savaging of NOAA & NWS, this means states are going to be caught unprepared when hurricanes strike, resulting in more damage that they’ll be even less capable of cleaning up. A disaster on top of a disaster.

It's been really demoralizng how much the press mindlessly repeats the lie that the National Guard was sent to quell violence. It was sent to start violence. People know this, so just say it.

I think about this a lot, the fact that the genocide is being live-streamed. This genocide is being live-streamed! If you have any degree of power and refuse to call it what it is and/or to do anything about it, you're just... fine with genocide. Because it's right there, in full color.

I just filed an emergency motion in court to immediately block the ongoing and unnecessary militarization of Los Angeles. The federal government is turning the military against American citizens. This is unprecedented and threatens the very core of our democracy.

The centrist, moderate, safe, poll-tested position here for elected officials and pundits is to blast the Trump admin using every argument they can. Anyone who isn't doing that should be asked why they're trying normalize the deployments and enable Trump's fascism.
