What a rotten reality to have a White House occupant who hates so many Americans and hates everything our democratic nation stands for.

Idk man but when the administration that tried to reject humanitarian aid for Los Angeles when it was burning tries to justify their illegal military occupation by saying they aren’t going to let LA burn it kinda sounds like bullshit

This is how you normalize authoritarianism.

They are trying to intimidate us. Don’t let them. It’ll be even harder to resist later if we cede ground now. Every person, if able, needs to be out there marching this Saturday. None of us can afford to coast on the work of others. Citizenship now requires more than voting. Let’s do this, together.

Dystopian.

unlike Vietnam or Afghanistan at least the Marines coming to.L.A. know exactly what this fight is all about

So ABC’s official position is that Stephen Miller does not have hate in his heart?

New in PN: ABC is too cowed to state the obvious about Stephen Miller "Miller and Trump are hateful bigots. Independent journalists can still say that. Journalists at ABC can’t, because the president gets a veto over their coverage. That’s not democracy and it’s not a free press. It’s fascism."

Land of the free.

Hey corporate media, do your damn jobs. ~ Everyone

I know it’s old news at this point, but what is the justification of scooping up people waiting at Home Depot for day labor? I realize they most likely are undocumented, but how would ICE know exactly who they are, or their legal status? You just detain them, then figure it out? How’s that legal?

We don’t need to guess what tariffs will do. We've seen this movie. Bush tried steel tariffs in 2002. Trump did it again in 2018. Both times, same plot: a handful of steel jobs saved, tens of thousands of downstream jobs destroyed.

“Trump has more than doubled his personal wealth since starting his 2024 campaign. Billions of foreign dollars into his family’s real estate and crypto ventures… Our political system is being transformed into something that no longer serves the people.” www.nytimes.com/2025/06/08/o...

Whenever law enforcement agents are given a quota of a specific number of people to arrest or detain, especially with the WH policy director screaming at their superiors to hit those target numbers, bad things are going to happen. Quotas always result in civil rights violations.

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.

LOS ANGELES: Stay off the streets tonight. Stay home. Stay safe. Tom Homan says the National Guard might be deployed — and I’m telling you, he wants violence. They’re baiting us to react so they can escalate. Rule #1: Never protest at night. That’s when the worst happens—under cover of darkness.
