The state of California needs to arrest the DHS "security" forces for assault and every Democrat in the U.S. Senate needs to sign onto a campaign to impeach Kristi Noem. Right fucking now.

When a cabinet member announces "We are using the military to liberate an American city from its elected leaders," where do you go from there. What is left to say. The idea of that being anything short of a near-universal "Wait, what the fuck is going on" moment proves how far we've backslid.

The ICE raids have nothing to do with any kind of moral truth. The fact is, a big part of the right wing narrative is that Commiefornia, that big cities, places that prove their entire worldview wrong, are evil, vile, dangerous places that must be destroyed. It's barbarian philosophy.

Just to be clear: the President has mobilized the Marines on American soil because people are protesting masked, secret police kidnapping people with no due process and shipping them to foreign death camps. It’s not a misunderstanding or an oversight. That is all it is. There is no other side.

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

Worth bearing in mind that illegal entry is a misdemeanor and being unlawfully present in the country is not even a criminal offense, but a civil one. This is the equivalent of saying we need to torch the Constitution & send in the SWAT team to catch jaywalkers & people with overdue library books.

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.

The people of LA would really like to go about their day. Buy groceries, get their laundry done, spend time with family. Live their lives in peace. Kind of like all our immigrant friends and neighbors. It’s the feds and ICE that are making this impossible. They are creating the crisis.

In a democracy, law enforcement is accountable to the people — visible, named, and answerable. When ICE agents wear masks and conceal their identities, they’re not protecting themselves — they’re shielding abuse from public scrutiny. That’s not law enforcement. That’s fascism.

So, to be clear, Musk has now admitted he funded a man he believes to be a pedophile to be president. And Trump has now admitted that he gave access to high level government secrets to a man he believes to be a big time drug addict. This should be the story on the Sunday shows tomorrow.

They say it can’t be done, but here we are, California is generated 106% of California’s entire state electricity demand from renewables. California has a population bigger that 154 other countries around the world. It’s the 4th largest economy, in the world. Let that sink in. #energysky #greensky

Two former Wells Fargo executives were fined $8.5M by the Biden administration for covering up the bank's infamous fake account scandal. Trump just slashed those fines to a paltry $150,000 after Wells Fargo gave $1M to his inauguration. See how this works?

I'd say more precisely that we have people going all in on the idea that self-discipline is about having what it takes to dunk your head in a bowl of ice water every morning rather than having what it takes to treat someone different from you like a human being.

One of the reasons we’re all so tired all the time is because the effort of keeping up just basic literacy with what’s happening politically requires constant reading, studying and analyzing like we’re all enrolled in an upper division History course where the syllabus is released one day at a time

The protests are not for Trump to see, they are so you can all see each other and grow. It's not the protest itself that tyrants are afraid of, but the networks and community you can grow from them. Your strength is your unity and that's why the enemy thrives by demoralizing and dividing you. #3E

The Right is using ingrained prejudices regarding race, criminality, xenophobia, and perceived threats as a cudgel. It’s what they always do and have always done. The antidote is to recognize it, wrestle with how it’s not just happening now but how it’s been there forever.

“One of the top MS-13 members”? This woman is an officer of the court and the Attorney General of the United States. She knows that she wields immense power and responsibility. Yet here she is on national TV, making baseless claims about a guy her boss wrongly sent to a gulag in El Salvador.

Maybe everyone can see it now, but the world's richest people have tanked it all to restock assets and get liquid after years of illegally playing with funny money. They used "the wokeness" as a cudgel and it worked. The next Disney princess WILL be white, as we all eat beans under the highway.

Every so often, it just comes back to me in full force. The political and economic order that allowed this man to come to power is obviously no longer tenable. The leaders who let it happen obviously have to be replaced. This is an epoch defining failure and we have to turn the page completely.

The richest man in the world spent more money than most of us will see in our lifetimes to lose a state Supreme Court race by 10 points. And the fact his $25 million was a drop in the bucket compared to what he's spent on other elections is exactly why we must overturn Citizens United.
