Sending the Marines to shut this down is 2025's Footloose remake.

Ice Nazi doing the bidding of Nazis trump and Miller and the rest of Manson family administration - are rolling around la terrorizing legal immigrants at work at schools abducting them and jailing them - no law - no due process Pure Nazi lawlessness

They aren't even pretending anymore that they're responding to rioting or lawlessness. They're calling out the military and threatening large-scale violence against people engaged in lawful protest *because they're engaged in lawful protest*.

Peacefully protesting is a right. It’s completely un-American and needlessly provocative for Trump to deploy the National Guard and Marines against Americans. These are unlawful orders.

$134 million that should be going to LA’s fire recovery. Shameful.

Not a doctor. Not a scientist. No. A longtime heroin addict and current steroid enthusiast who perjured himself in confirmation hearings in order to pursue a twisted agenda that will kill more Americans than Osama Bin Laden.

Rep. Mike Flood apparently thinks bills are meant to go unread, like a terms of service agreement

Speaker Johnson said Gov Newsom should be “tarred and feathered.” How completely inappropriate! Fool.

They've been trying to numb us for a long time. Fascism. Oppression. Genocide. All on display. They want us desensitized, to think it's just the way the world works when deep down we know it is unnatural. Don't let them take away the feeling from you. It's uncomfortable because you're human.

Hey corporate media, do your damn jobs. ~ Everyone

Los Angeles FC crowd chants, "Fuck ICE."

New in PN: ABC is too cowed to state the obvious about Stephen Miller "Miller and Trump are hateful bigots. Independent journalists can still say that. Journalists at ABC can’t, because the president gets a veto over their coverage. That’s not democracy and it’s not a free press. It’s fascism."

ICE agents concealing their faces: Can they really do that?

The greatest danger America is facing is now it's own President.

Durbin to Bhattacharya: "I can't understand it. I disagree w/ this admin on so many things. But this is the one that really gets to me personally. To think this nation would walk away from medical research. For God's sake...cancer, your budget requests a 38% cut to the National Cancer Institute"

this is one of the most insane home run robberies i've seen

I wrote about how and why Trump is manufacturing a crisis, how he is breaking norms, and setting up a dangerous situation - all while making the U.S. look like a cheesy dictatorship! open.substack.com/pub/theweekl...

The Secretary of Defense lies under oath, claiming "21 million illegals" entered under Biden. Trump previously invented a 20 million figure out of thin air at a campaign rally. Recently, he randomly started saying 21 million. Now his surrogates are parroting that fake number.

HEGSETH: The challenge is our department under the previous administration squandered--- DeLAURO: Please! I want your plan! What is your plan for the future? We have zip! Nada!

Watching the right now oppose the part of the second amendment that guarantees a well regulated militia under state control is… something.

Dance party!

Democrats will continue exercising our constitutional authority and responsibility to conduct unannounced visits at ICE detention centers. We won’t stand idly by as Trump kidnaps and disappears immigrants off the streets without due process.

i personally do not think the administration is actually prepared for what happens if they are facing mass protests in every major city in the country

Jan 6 police heroes argue Trump and his top aides are peddling in “hypocrisy” by decrying “Insurrection” in Los Angeles

Instead of creating more chaos, Trump should talk to economists and everyday Americans about the damage his tariffs are causing, and the devastating impact his Big Beautiful Betrayal will have on seniors, families, and veterans.

Too much of a pussy to do it himself.

What more do you need to see? The President of the United States wants his Immigration czar to arrest the Governor of one of the most populous states in the country.

A lawless state deserves no obedience from its citizens

Trump in 2020: We have to go by the laws. We can't move in the National Guard. I can call insurrection but there's no reason to ever do that, even in a Portland case. We can't call in the National Guard unless we're requested by a Governor. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social add this to your lawsuit!

Turning the military directly on American citizens on US soil is unconstitutional. This is not an insurrection. These are peaceful civil disobedience protests. They’re treating our National Guard like trash. June 14 is no Kings Day. Find a protest in your city. x.com/gavinnewsom/...

BREAKING: LA solidarity protesters in Austin are occupying JJ Pickle Federal Building, which houses local ICE processing center

Worst president in U.S. history.

HAPPENING NOW: Protesters have gathered outside the Justice Department in Washington, D.C. alongside Rep. Pramila Jayapal to demand the release of SEIU California President David Huerta

"Nobody’s going to spit on our police officers," says the man who pardoned people who literally beat police officers.

As I said in my recent Substack, The Elephant Is A Rotting Corpse, they've committed political suicide in order to support the taco felon.

Gotta love an 86-year-old woman with the heart of a poster

Tom Homan says he was taken out of context by a reporter when he threatened to arrest Gavin Newsom. "The NBC reporter that interviewed me is very dishonest. We did a 20 minute interview and he cuts out a little clip and takes my words out of context." Jonathan Lemire: "NBC stands by its reporting"

Protesters being arrested in Dallas now

this is good

TRUTH. “We were told he was going to go after violent criminals. This wasn’t a drug den. It was a Home Depot.” -Mayor Karen Bass

This stuff doesn’t look very protect-and-serve-y

UPDATE: David Huerta was just released from custody!

Trump responded to peaceful protests standing up for immigrants in Los Angeles with tear gas and rubber bullets. He’s a wannabe dictator using violence to advance his authoritarian playbook. We won’t stand for it.
