In addition to how arrogant it is, it's also plainly naive and stupid to think you could do this without a response.

Newsom weirdly sucks at this. It's such a layup and he's fumbling it.

what you are seeing here is an attempt for the president to cultivate personal loyalty amongst special operations forces members directly to him by playing on neofascist sympathies via othering american citizens. i wonder why someone would paint an entire city as full of nonpersons. curious

One of my programming rules is, for classical languages, don't pass arguments to instance methods. It makes the logic hard to follow later on.

Mayor Bass could have been better on MSNBC. I'm glad she's talking but could have been better through this whole affair.

Really hard to understate how detached from reality the president is on this

One thing about this guy is he is too chickenshit to put his name on things that might fail.

Donald Trump’s deployment of the military in Los Angeles over the objection of California leaders is an abuse of power and a dangerous escalation. It’s what you would see in authoritarian states and it must stop. Americans have the right to speak out and peacefully protest.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

If you live in LA and you need a reminder of why voting matters Just imagine if Robert Luna wasn’t our sheriff, and instead alex villanueva had won another term Most people probably don’t think of the importance of voting for sheriff on their ballot, but you are seeing it right now

I’m not sure how to express how intensely personal these raids feel as an Angeleno. Whatever stereotypes you have in your head about La-La-Land, immigrants are the lifeblood of this city. It’s an assault on what we love about this place.

If we make it out of this, a good new federal regulation would be "If you're a federal agent, you have to show your face, badge and wear a uniform while on duty."

Yeah I guess LeBron putting up a 22.6 PER is pretty special, but it's not that impressive when you compare him to people rolling out of bed and firing off something like this at age 86.

One thing about Trump (and to a lesser extent the other slimers that are stuck to him) is that they have never really faced consequences of any kind. There's no reason not to touch the stove, burning doesn't exist for them. "Wouldn't it almost be cool to have that power?"

Now's as good a time as any to point out that Gavin Newsom is term-limited and cannot seek a third term as California's governor en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Ca...

One of the reasons we don't do this kind of thing here is that we don't need to. The world knows we have all these tanks. This is one of the cleanest examples of Trump not understanding America at all.

Where are you @governor.ca.gov @mayor.lacity.gov @padilla.senate.gov @schiff.senate.gov ? Residents of California need you to speak out.

ICE, DHS, FBI, LASD & LAPD has done more damage to the city & people of LA than any immigrant or foreign invasion. Our enemies wear badges.
