ICE pretended to arrest a 21 yo in order to force her to call her undocumented mother to come leave the house (where she was safe from ICE arrest) to care for her baby. When the mother came, she was abducted and the daughter was suddenly of no interest to ICE. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

If they were genuinely serious about the military ethic, they’d be resigning at this very moment but with every minute that passes I doubt that’s going to happen

I worry that it’s too much to expect careers military officers to speak up about this, but Jess is right: this is a shocking breach of American traditions. George Washington is rolling in his grave.

"Bothsidesism is 'suicide for democracy.' In becoming stenographers rather than reporters, journalists effectively legitimize MAGA lies, hate, and fascism as just one reasonable side of a debate in which all partisans are equally credible."

The same people who shoveled money to a settle bogus case with Trump, have now fired Terry Moran for telling the truth. No one should wonder why viewers are abandoning legacy media in droves. www.cnn.com/2025/06/10/m...

House and Senate leaders should demand resignations from both Major General Pat Work, the 82nd Airborne Division commander, and Colonel Chad Mixon, the Fort Bragg garrison commander. This was possibly the most partisan speech ever delivered by a commander-in-chief to U.S. troops.

I wrote in February that objective control and dual loyalty was dead but I think unless there are resignations within the next 48 hours, the military ethic and basic tenants of professionalism are also dead

(Ahem) John Yoo is wrong about executive power. Following the Rodney King uprising Bush I invoked the Insurrection Act. Same with all Yoo’s other examples. The IA doesn’t mandate cooperation. Trump invoked a statute that clearly specifies a role for the governor. This is different.

They literally did this in 2020 as protests were winding down in Portland - throwing people into unmarked vans, demanding to know the leader of "ANTIFA." It ended with thousands mobilizing night after night. This strategy works when people shrug and go about their day.

I feel like maybe the framing of Trump sending the military to put down protests as a "feud" between Trump and Newsom is a little weird?

Mobilize and deploy US troops against fellow Americans. Make fellow Americans look like they’re the “enemy within”. Distort the truth to make it look like LEGAL protests are something criminal in nature. It’s more of the “us versus them” propaganda from Convicted Felon Donald Trump.

The administration has been hitting the “invasion” rhetoric and portraying the protests as being driven by immigrants because, as in the Alien Enemies Act cases, they want to use wartime and battlefield measures. Don’t let the rhetoric go by uncontradicted.

It would be so great if Democratic elected officials started acting as if the president was trying to arrest them all, because he is.

You know when things were pretty quiet and peaceful in L.A.? Before ICE started arresting residents who were bothering no one and going to their jobs. And before DHS and National Guard troops showed up and made the situation worse. Of course Trump and Stephen Miller want the situation to get worse.

Trump has federalized at least 2,000 National Guard forces and reportedly plans to deploy troops to Los Angeles over Governor Newsom’s objections. If that happens, it will be the first time since 1965 that a president has sent troops into a state without a state request. 1/19

Trump has not invoked in the Insurrection Act—he’s "instead relying on a theory of inherent constitutional power that is far more limited." In @lawfaremedia.org, Chris Mirasola explains the "protective power" and corrects the mischaracterizations of what Trump has authorized in the memo.

It's necessary to keep pointing out: all this is not because ICE wants to deport murderers and rapists. It's because ICE is going to Home Depot parking lots, courthouses, and elementary school graduations to round up peaceful families, many seeking asylum, which means they are here legally.

I've seen little comment abt assault-and-arrest of David Huerta, which preceded Trump's escalation yesterday, and which fits the model we saw with Delaney Hall and Jerry Nadler's office. Unlike the prior targets, Huerta doesn't have obvious immunity. He was also injured in the assault.

Strategy is clear. "Ratchet up raids on peaceful people . . Use protests against draconian raids to arrest Democratic leaders & invade a blue city. Point to chaos created by Miller’s draconian ICE raids to demand passage of Big Ugly bill . .Create chaos, & use it to codify authoritarian power."
