This is a watershed moment. Senator Padilla getting thrown to the ground and handcuffed. Trump admitting his mass deportations are targeting hard-working people that are contributing vitally to the US economy. Trump sending troops into a US city that even local law enforcement didn't ask for. 1/

wow I wonder if the cops who lied about the sitting senator even though everything they did was on tape are also being less than honest about the presence of violent agitators at the protests in los angeles. they might even not have told the entire truth about other protests

This is disgusting. If this is how they treat Alex Padilla, a United States Senator, how do you think they’ll treat you?

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

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

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.
