!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Reupping, from yesterday, given that Hegseth couldn't answer basic Qs about the deployment today. Trump ordered Whiskey Pete Hegseth to invade Los Angeles at the same time as he struggles to find him the kind of babysitters EVEN Hegseth said he needed to succeed. www.emptywheel.net/2025/06/09/h...

File this under "be careful of what you ask for" for when countries begin to grow concerned about the danger to their civilians from ICE.

We need to build some real social stigma around being afraid of cities. You don't have to like them or live there, but a politics built this strongly around watching TV and going "ewww" is embarrassing, and people should be embarrassed by it. It's like "fear of werewolves" being your top issue.

Trump is going to send a bunch of Russians to Gitmo. I'm very interested how many were pursuing asylum claims w/reasonable fear of being sent back. In which case, Trump would just be putting Putin's dissidents in Gitmo. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

As @samsteindc.bsky.social notes over on Xitter, the right wing is wailing bc Gavin Newsom is returning their bullshit.

Pam Bondi's DOJ says this picture showing David Huerta "banging on a gate" with another guy is proof of a conspiracy to convince them to stop doing their job by intimidating them. www.emptywheel.net/2025/06/10/b...

Somebody knocked on my door and it was loud so I asked the Marines to step in.

exactly itemized Katie.

Oof. (Brad) Bondi lost bigly.

WTH. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Hegseth senior adviser allegedly lied to Hegseth’s Chief of Staff and personal lawyer that there were illegal NSA wiretaps of the leakers of classified material… These people are such a joke. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

BREAKING: Federal judge blocks Trump's "anti-DEI" and anti-trans funding orders, as applied to organizations that sued in a case led by San Francisco AIDS Foundation and filed in federal court in San Francisco. Judge Jon Tigar (Obama)'s opinion: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

It's quite possible that Whiskey Pete 1) is too stupid and 2) has no aides to figure out he needs to coordinate with LAPD, in which case this will become a clusterfuck very quickly. is he going to feed the Marines? Or are they supposed to live off the land?

Over 60 groups have been coordinating since December across LA as part of the Community Self Defense Coalition. They are on IG: www.instagram.com/communitysel... and you can donate to their ongoing work: www.gofundme.com/f/support-th... - Like I continue to say PEOPLE ARE ALREADY IN MOTION.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Marcy's is CLEVER

JUST IN: California sues Trump admin, says Trump's order deploying National Guard is illegal/unconstitutional. AG says protests were 'under control' until Trump announced Guard deployment. Doc: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us... Earlier: www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

Looked to me like Israeli drones sprayed the boat with some white paint-looking substance and then the IDF surrounded it, kidnapped the people on it and cut off their communications with the world. “Diverted” doing a lot of work here

Oh, what I wouldn't give to see her dragged off & deported! "Florida state Sen. Ileana Garcia (R), co-founder of Latinas for Trump, issued a sharp rebuke of Trump Sunday as his administration seeks to ramp up deportations & other actions against migrants without legal status."

The vast majority of servicemen and women will not follow an unlawful order. However, I trained and served active duty. And, I can tell you one thing for sure: there is a cohort who will.
