There are active duty Marines deployed to an American city while the president is planning a military parade for his birthday... What country is this???

Lawrence O’Donnell doing his entire A block with the stumble Trump photo up is pretty decent trolling.

Republicans own this

The most important story of our time is not what Donald Trump wants to do, but what the people of this country allow him to do.

All this because Trump’s ex sugar daddy said he was in the secret Epstein files?

what’s genuinely wild about all this is that we have people on tv talking about LA as this apocalyptic hellhole they must invade with military force and I’m here and I haven’t seen shit all day, not even an abnormal number of helicopters I drove to D&D tonight, I’m just hanging out! it’s fine!

Philly local tv station reporting that a man allegedly posed as an ICE agent in order to rob a car repair business office. How many other criminals might be getting this idea right now, given that actual ICE agents are refusing to show IDs, warrants, badges?

You know what to do…

Guy on CNN about to pop a vein that even misdemeanors MUST BE PUNISHED. Remember when the Manhattan DA charges were filed against Trump and they *lost their effing minds* that these were “only” misdemeanors that had been bumped up to felonies? I just can’t

Today RFK Jr. fired every member of ACIP, the CDC committee that makes vaccine recommendations. Children will die. This is not ok. Lindsey Graham enabled this.

The president must send the Marines back to their barracks, and Congress must reform posse comitatus laws so that no president tries to deploy the military in this manner again. abcnews.go.com/US/live-upda...

Trump already can't handle the amount of protests against him, and that number is about to increase with No Kings Day this Saturday.

Jesus Christ, ICE is trying to snatch children from schools. THIS ADMINISTRATION IS TRYING TO STEAL AND DISAPPEAR CHILDREN

the fact that people were told “today you are going to an elementary school to lie to teachers and kidnap kids” and didn’t immediately tell their bosses to go fuck themselves is all you need to know about why ICE should be dismantled

The No Kings protest map will help you find a place to exercise your First Amendment rights this weekend. (It's also a pretty good argument against the Electoral College.) www.nokings.org

Exactly.

JUST IN: 700 Marines deployed to L.A. from 29 Palms. If Trump can override California, he can override any state. So ask yourself: who’s next? And what happens when people stop backing down? This isn’t crowd control — it’s occupation.

Our Founding Fathers would have had a word for calling up a battalion of Marines for regular domestic law enforcement: tyranny.

2,000 National Guard members, 700 Marines, for what? Escalation, violence, and spectacle. But to legitimize a crackdown and normalize military presence on our streets.

NEW: Hegseth is deploying Marines against U.S. citizens. Mayor Bass says to know your rights :

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 and Musk’s catfight showed who they really are, and how dangerous they are for America’s future. Watch @stuartpstevens.bsky.social on @msnbc.com

“We are seeing right before our eyes what it looks like when the head of the government of the country we live in, doesn’t think he has to obey the courts or the law.” -Pete Buttigieg

What the LAPD get up to when they think no-one is watching...

This is a pretty important point!

THREAD: Misinformation about the Los Angeles protests The claim in this viral tweet that US Marines have arrested the chief master sergeant of the California National Guard for opposing President Trump's orders is baseless and false. RealRawNews is a notorious fake news website.

💙💪🏼🇺🇸

“First they illegally deport citizens. Then they unleash ICE to terrorize communities. Now they’ve got the National Guard in L.A. to silence protestors. This ain’t about law and order. This is what authoritarianism looks like.” Rep Jasmine Crockett More here: www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/millions-p...

Three things about this comment: 1. Homan is a White House adviser who doesn't have the power to arrest anyone. Neither does Trump. 2. Trump once again acts like he's not in charge. "If I were Tom, I'd do it." Uh, doesn't he work for you? 3. THREATENING TO ARREST A GOVERNOR IS A FIVE ALARM FIRE

Trump in 2020: We have to go by the laws. We can't move in the National Guard. I can call insurrection but there's no reason to ever do that, even in a Portland case. We can't call in the National Guard unless we're requested by a governor.

They’re calling it a “Big Beautiful Bill”—but it’s really a Big Beautiful Betrayal. Slashing Medicaid to fund tax breaks for the wealthy isn’t just bad policy—it’s a direct attack on children, seniors, and people with disabilities.

California AG Bonta: I, in partnership with Governor Gavin Newsom, are suing President Trump and asking the court to set aside the president's unlawful action federalizing the California National Guard.

I stand with California and Governor Gavin Newsom. There is no riot. There is no emergency. The National Guard needs to be recalled — now. 🚨 NEW: California is suing the Trump administration for illegally deploying the state’s National Guard.

On balance, I think the president of the United States giving full pardons to people who attacked cops while storming the U.S. Capitol because they were his supporters and then firing their prosecutors was a detriment to the effort to stigmatize political violence.

An incredibly easy way to stop all of the unrest in Los Angeles: Stop the ICE raids. That’s it. That’s all Trump needs to do. It’s one phone call. If he’s unwilling to do it, he’s responsible for the consequences.

"On June 14, Trump wants tanks in the street and a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday. A spectacle meant to look like strength. But real power isn’t staged in Washington. It rises up everywhere else..." www.nokings.org

Yes!

BIG WIN for the D.C. Bar & democracy President-Elect Diane Seltzer triumphed with a staggering 90% of the vote Given what one Bondi has done as AG we did not need to take a risk on another heading the DC Bar

Reminder that there is going to be a huge day of nonviolent protest against Trump this Saturday, June 14 -- "No Kings". New statement from the organizers in response to Trump federalizing National Guard (and threatening to use active duty troops) against civilians: www.nokings.org/news/nationa...

Everyone has Hegseth's number in their phone

GOV. NEWSOM: “Trump is reckless, immoral, a stone cold liar… he’s taking unconstitutional actions and putting lives at risk. These are acts of authoritarians.”

👏👏👏

History repeats itself….real photo from 1937 LA found in the LA Times Collection at the UCLA Library

Helping build the Illinois Holocaust Museum taught me the challenges our generation faces to stand up for tolerance and against bigotry and hatred. That's our mission. As Governor, I'll continue to stand up and speak out against antisemitism and authoritarianism.

Also remember that while Trump is inciting violence in Los Angeles, Republicans in DC are writing a bill on how best to kill Americans by taking away their healthcare.

Everything Trump does is a distraction from everything else Trump does until the "distraction" is your loved one being kidnapped by masked gunmen without due process. I thought the "distraction" claim by some Democratic electeds was pretty stale back in February, and it's definitely absurd now.
