Thank you to every Democratic Governor signing a statement criticizing Trump for abusing his power by sending the National Guard to LA without working or consulting with Governor Newsom.

Keep the big picture in mind - don’t give this admin a reason to get violent. I completely understand the anger. They are rounding up good people against our will. And trying to take Medicare away at the same time. Protest but pls do it peacefully. Keep the spotlight where it belongs: THEM.

For anyone who doesn’t live in Los Angeles or understand the geography of the city, the area is actually quite small where police are currently rioting.

This is the Gavin Newsom we need. DJT get out of our state #California #ICE

Vance calls the LA protests an ā€œinvasion.ā€ 4 minutes later, Miller calls it an ā€œinsurrection.ā€ 29 minutes later, Hegseth threatens to send in Marines. It’s like clockwork. They’ve chomped at the bit for months, waiting for a pretext to declare martial law under the pretext of insurrection/invasion.

LA friends - when you protest today, please be peaceful. No violence. Trump & his goons will look for every excuse to use force. Be safe. Your presence alone is vitally important. Thank you šŸ‘Š

Facts: - Governor Gavin Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass both publicly stated they did not request National Guard assistance. - Under normal circumstances, National Guard deployment requires state approval unless the Insurrection Act is invoked, which Trump has not done.

Protest peacefully. No property damage, no vandalism, no looting. If you commit crimes while protesting to make your voice heard, it just becomes muffled under the sounds of flash bangs & people get arrested and hurt. It defeats your purpose. Be loud. Be smart. Be safe. #ProudBlue #OneV1

Although the right to seek asylum a legal right, the Trump administration has blocked thousands of individuals fleeing persecution & torture from entering the country. So, how has the asylum ban actually impacted those seeking safety since January? We're breaking it down:

@msnbc.com why are you not covering what is happening in LA right now?

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:

2000 National guards? When Newson has not asked for that? They just want to inflame the situation.

The real question in the spat between the winner/loser calculation b/w musk & trump is - Who is even thinking about the good of the American people? Are we winning yet? @justinwolfers.bsky.social

Yep. Pure unadulterated racism. Brought to you by none other than the most corrupt leader we have ever known.

FYI: Despite the rise in antisemitism & chronic funding shortages & attacks on US Jews, Trump's budget request to Congress on Friday recommended they hold the Nonprofit Security Grant Program at its current level of $274.5 million - So tell me again how much they care about protecting Jews?

It’s almost like Trump wants to destroy the country. Go figure. He is not working FOR us
