I was tear-gassed in Istanbul by Erdogan's goons. It sucks. You're going to see a lot of international solidarity this week as protestors from around the world and America advise folks in LA and other cities on how to safely resist the US military cracking down on its citizens.

If you’re watching @maddow.msnbc.com’s A Block you understand that people who stand up for other people can change the course of those people’s lives & our history. We have the power to refuse Trump’s path forward. Protesting actually works. Let’s go.

Trump invoked a rarely used provision that allows for the deployment of the Nat Guard if there is a rebellion against the U.S. gov. @nytimes.com: “No such rebellion is underway. …Americans in cities routinely cause more property damage after their sports teams win or lose.”

The #BETAwards are happening tonight a few miles from the L.A. protests. Doechii used her acceptance speech to say "I want y'all to consider what kind of government it appears to be when every time we exercise our democratic right to protest, the military is deployed against us"

The NYPD has suddenly called in “SRG”, a unit with frequent police misconduct and violence. Anti-ICE protesters have been chanting the entire duration of the protest. A few arguments but peaceful. Seems Eric Adams need the protest shutdown.

He's been a threat to journalists. From the first rallies where he threatened journalists with crowd violence, threatened Katy Tur, even threatened that POS Megan Kelly, whose rights I support even though she's a POS.

The correct way to connect the authoritarian presence in LA and the Big Beautiful Bill is that the bill gives the government the resources to do this in dozens of cities at once. So if you don't like what's happening in LA, it's coming to your town if the bill passes.

Trump calls for the arrest of California Governor Gavin Newsom. The President of the United States calling for the arrest of a sitting state governor is unprecedented. Even during the Civil War, President Lincoln never arrested governors of the states that took up arms against the union.

Just to be clear, Governor Newsom hasn't broken any laws. If this line is crossed, and the President has a sitting governor arrested, then the choice for Democratic leaders, senior military officers and federal employees becomes one of accepting dictatorship or taking drastic action.
