If you want to understand why LA residents feel under attack, undercover DHS agents lying about their identity and authorizations to try to kidnap LA children seems a good start. People just do not understand the attacks LA is under by Trumpists right now.

The world’s richest people have taken over this government, and they’re going after the country’s and world’s poorest children. www.cbsnews.com/news/white-h...

“If you saw all this in any other country — soldiers sent to crush dissent, union leaders arrested, opposition politicians threatened — it would be clear that autocracy had arrived,” writes Michelle Goldberg.

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?

If anyone needs a reminder of what January 6th looked like:

They’re arresting the wrong people. The criminals are in the White House.

Trump let in cartel families while ICE tore apart hardworking immigrant communities. This was never about fentanyl or crime—it was always about fear and control. That’s why we protest. That’s why we resist.

Here is what I would love to find out; Was it TRUMP who ordered the National Guard and Marines to LA. OR Was he told to by someone and went alone with it, Both scenarios are extremely important to know. IMO

Trump has been ruling as an authoritarian from the first day of this term. The only question has been how we will react. The silver lining now is that Marines being deployed against peaceful demonstrators is a lot easier to understand as dictatorial than attacks on law firms/press/universities.

It was totally predictable that criminals would start posing as ICE because of how ICE agents present themselves.

Protests are getting physical in Dallas, Texas. Notice you here nothing from Trump, Noem, Homan, Hegseth, well he's passed out drunk, so it's probably good he's keeps out of things. No Fox News or Miller screaming Insurrection & send in the troops to put down the people. Wonder why

Trump, Noem, and Hegseth are attacking cities that stand for our constitution, our civil liberties, and due process. The deployment of 700 marines is about escalating their violent spectacle while they undermine the rule of law, the separation of powers, and state sovereignty. 1/2

The Posse Comitatus Act bars federal troops from participating in civilian law enforcement except when expressly authorized by law. This 147-year-old law embodies an American tradition that sees military interference in civilian affairs as a threat to both Democracy and Personal Liberty.

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.

This is a pretty important point!

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

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is a clear and present danger to every person in the United States, and in fact in entire world. He must be REMOVED FROM OFFICE IMMEDIATELY.

🔥🔥 BREAKING NEWS!!! 🔥🔥 NIH workers wrote a letter to Jay Bhattacharya asking him to stop the disruption of the critical science and health care that is at the heart of the NIH mission. It has been signed by over 300 of us. 1/

I am in downtown Los Angeles right now and it is completely surreal to hear that Trump is sending Marines here. We are listening to mariachi music. People have dogs. There are teenagers here. It is utterly and completely peaceful. Please tell your friends.

This is the spirit of Los Angeles. This is California. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. #FreeDavidEndRaids

Deploying Marines to LA isn’t normal. It’s a gross abuse of power similar to what we see from dictators around the world, setting the stage for martial law or full-on authoritarianism.

LA PROTESTERS: How to annoy ICE, cops, Guardsmen & Marines “patrolling” the streets? Blast “IN THE NAVY”, follow & dance party around them with BIG Pride flags, glitter bomb them & shout “Happy Pride Month”. Believe me, the ridicule they’ll get will make them LOATHE being in LA. #NotJoking

It’s not a surprise that the man who purposely incited a violent attempt to overthrow an American election would now purposely incite violence on the streets of Los Angeles as a justification for military force against American citizens. Not a surprise at all.

The rule of law is under attack. Every day it withers.

Those who seek to restrict access to books — to ban books — have never been on the right side of history. Never. Bad people ban books.

"Mass deportation" is the excuse and trigger for authoritarianism. As it was always intended to be.

I still think it's pretty wild that corrupt oligarchs destroyed the entirety of U.S. consumer protection and corporate oversight and it's barely written about by journalists or policy folks just not really of any serious interest

If you are National Guard or Active Duty military and you are being ordered to violate the Constitutional rights of US citizens then this is the number to the GI Rights Hotline. There is support, you don't have to go through with it. ☎️ 1-877-447-4487 From #veterans to #activeduty personnel.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

RFK Jr.‘s extreme anti-vax views — and his related conflicts of interest — were a huge problem during his confirmation process. So he promised not to change the vaccine advisory panel. Today, he fired every single expert on that panel. It's a public health disaster.

I’m not sure why Gavin Newsome doesn’t activate the rest of his army guard to prevent the president from it or force him to overrule it…. Then fight on the second amendment guaranteeing a state a right to a militia. How can a state have a militia if the president can simply federalize it

This is on all the Senators who turned a blind eye and voted to confirm. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/09/h...

Sen. Van Hollen: "The administration has shown that it's prepared to abuse its authority in order to pursue its political agenda...We have to protect the Constitution. We have to protect due process. We have to protect public safety."

Dozens of journalists were assaulted by law enforcement in Los Angeles this weekend. The press were just doing their job -- a sacred one explicitly protected by law. Press rights orgs will follow up collectively tomorrow. Tonight, I emailed evidence to local/state/federal officials. My sign off:

ICE agents intentionally started the violence in LA.

While Felon 47 shreds the Constitution by using the military to attack Americans in Los Angeles, it’s critical to not overlook what other illegal stuff he is doing while we are distracted.

🚨

The essence of fascism is government by emergencies. Dictatorship by first resort instead of a last resort. Creation of permanent crises instead of resolving them.

The President is trampling the 1st Amendment rights of peaceful protesters in L.A. with the intent to escalate and “send troops everywhere.”

Due process on pause? “ICE” is detaining people without charges and blocking attorney access. I hope L.A. and California are transparent about the data, because I bet most of these folks have no criminal record—just moms, dads and young people doing the work that most Americans won’t touch.

Barragán: "This is not an effort to really get criminals. It's an effort to see 'let's see who we can sweep up along the way.' Why are they doing this? Bc this president said he was going to deport millions & the numbers have not been adding up. There aren't that many serious criminal offenders."

Put up or shut up…

The MAINSTREAM PRESS is FAILING AMERICA failing – and people are understandably upset The media is still pursuing the appearance of fairness by treating true and false, normal and outrageous, as equally valid #MOG8 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
