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

She murdered her dog.

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

They're playing into the King's hands with all these continental flags and such

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.

Good statement, gotta hand it to her

the nytimes doesn't get LA and never will

Finally, good job @governor.ca.gov get down here and out on the streets bsky.app/profile/atru...

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.

LA is pissed

ICE crossed a line in LA

Crickets from these clowns

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.

Keep standing up Los Angeles. You are leading the way by example. We need to oppose fascism with every fiber of our being.

These attitudes are nothing new; I grew up hearing the should have killed protesters in Chicago 68 and more of them at Kent State. They've always wanted to "throw away the key" like CECOT. The difference now is the failure of the media, courts and legislatures to moderate these urges.

Watching some rugby and my god does anyone have sideburns anymore

BREAKING The President of California’s largest union has been detained during an ICE raid.

Fuck these nazi pigs, gtfo of my town

I think we can all agree that this couldn't have happened to a more appropriate person, and we love to see the worst people fighting, but it just sucks that our national apparatus has been reduced to this.
