Rand Paul: "If they're asking to borrow $5 trillion, that is the example -- $5 trillion in borrowing means they are not restraining spending. That's the ultimate summation of all these numbers."

Detroit showed solidarity with Los Angeles today — a protest in unity following yesterday’s ICE raids in California. With the National Guard now in L.A., it’s clear: concerns about federal force are resonating well beyond the West Coast.

In LA, officers deployed tear gas and shot rubber bullets at protesters fighting against ICE raids. Here’s a reminder that those anti-protest weapons—which are billed as relatively safe—can actually cause serious harm.

“He said he will target & punish those who disagree with him or refuse to bend to his will. He calls these Americans ‘The Enemy Within’, including journalists & judges. He says he would use the American Military to go after American Citizens.” -Kamala Harris. She Was Right About Everything.

These fascist dipshits keep claiming there is all kinds of violence in Los Angeles right now. At this very moment, even! Weirdly, every single local channel is running regular programming, instead of this BREAKING NEWS EVENT. It's like ... it's like the dipshits are lying, or something. Weird.

Just a reminder that U.S. military personnel, whether in the National Guards or the Marines, are not trained for law enforcement. They are trained to kill, they are remarkably effective at it, and that is why there are such strict legal prohibitions on deploying military inside the United States.

Vance calls the LA protests an “invasion.” 4 minutes later, Miller calls it an “insurrection.” 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.

The conditions that have led to what’s happening in the US today exist in democracies around the world. They are an inevitable outcome of our collective failure to adapt to fundamental changes in the information ecosystem on which our democracies were originally built.

Absolutely wild that LA has deployed LAPD, DHS has deployed both ICE and CBP, now the white house is calling in the national guard. You'd think the wildest riot in history was going down in LA right now, but it's actually just a bunch of protestors mostly just standing around holding signs.

Q: "Could we really see active duty Marines on the streets of Los Angeles?" Johnson: "I don't think that's heavy handed." Q: "You don't think sending Marines into the streets of an American city is heavy handed?" Johnson: "We have to be prepared to do what is necessary."

The feds kidnapping and trafficking people is a violent crime. Protesting it is fighting back against abuses of power. The government claiming protestors started the violence is DARVO—Deny, Attack, and Reverse Victim and Offender. It’s what abusers do when they face consequences.

The weird, often whitewashed way the civil rights movement is taught (or not taught) seemed to convince a lot of people that nonviolence was met with nonviolence, instead of you know, dogs, hoses, beatings, death, etc

I don’t think people should engage in violence and vandalism and I don’t think federal agents should provoke people to engage in violence and vandalism. Too many law enforcement officers sworn to protect and serve now look and act like they are in Fallujah.

Deploying the military on U.S. soil as law enforcement against Americans was on page 555 of Project 2025. So don’t say “I didn’t vote for this,” because you did. This isn’t a response. This was always their plan.

TRIGGER WARNING: Mentions of DV This entire thread. A lot of you know what happened to me February. I was assaulted by an ex, who threatened to kill me. I did not fight back. I called the police. They didn't investigate, misinterpreted a California statute, and deemed me the aggressor.
