So sick of these gang members working difficult jobs and paying tens of billions of dollars in federal, state and local taxes for decades. You just know they're biding their time, then WHAM they'll start doing gang shit when they're senior citizens and whatnot.

RFK Jr justifies firing scientists on the CDC’s vaccine advisory committee due to “conflicts of interest.” Yet RFK Jr made almost $100K a year from anti-vax lawsuits and almost $90K a month from his anti-vax nonprofit. The person with the biggest conflict of interest at HHS is the one leading it.

You can't call immigrants lazy moochers looking for government handouts and then round them up at Home Depots where you know they are looking for work. You can't say immigrants don't follow the rules and then round them up in courthouses where they are following the rules. Get your lies straight.

Kids can’t name abuse in homes where it’s the norm. Stop this bullshit about “why didn’t you tell someone” when all they’ve ever known is they don’t have the right to ask for help and if they do they’ll pay a further price.

Instead of using this money to fund, say, the National Weather Service right before hurricane season, they're using it to send Marines to Los Angeles. THIS is waste and abuse.

It's so disheartening watching everything I've spent a decade warning people was going to happen, actually happen, and to see how many of them still don't seem to care.

If you think climate change has gotten worse during your lifetime, you're right and there's a good reason. If you're Gen X like me, more than 3/4 of fossil fuel CO₂ emissions have occurred in your lifetime. Even if you're a Millennial, it's at least half. 📊: @neilrkaye.bsky.social

Candidly, as a civ-mil watcher, this scene at Bragg is freaking me out more than anything else that's happened so far. Just an absolute collapse of professional military norms.

Not breaking any ground here but there’s a through line to his presidency based on his unshakable belief that all of this is his — the White House, AF1, the attorney general, the military. It shapes tons of what he does and nothing has happened to convince him it’s wrong.

Twitter has turned itself into a crowdsourcing platform for helping authoritarians target civilians and yet you’ve still got people posting away because it’s “the public square,” totally indifferent to the fact that the mad emperor is building a giant gallows in the center of it.

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.

I'm getting lots of inquiries about "how many" press rights violations in Los Angeles since Friday. Important to be precise with wording. Ex: Incidents of police violence at 30+. Injuries 20, not even counting all CS gas incidents (dozens more?). ER/urgent care at least 5. Numbers could be higher.

Can a producer for @lauracoates.com @cnn.com @cnn-news.bsky.social get in touch with me ASAP? Your guests are factually wrong on the law in California and this is dangerous. Press exempt from arrest per CA Penal Code 409.7. I negotiated language of the law. You need to correct this ASAP.

The speed with which the country is disassembling! I keep wondering how the regime thinks the US will function without Black and brown people, in a white fantasia. The people left won’t be able to feed themselves, heal themselves, build their homes, or flavor their food. What a choice!

Rule #1: don’t call in the Marines unless you actually need the Marines. While there seems to be a good level of awareness of the high stakes, which can drive caution, the political theater of this small-minded and selfish president and his SecBro puts civilians and Marines alike in danger. 1/2
