LAPD fired rubber bullets at Australian journalist @laurentomasi.bsky.social

Federal lawmakers say they have been denied access to an ICE facility in CA

ICE agents raid Martha’s Vineyard to haul off 40 workers www.tiktok.com/t/ZTjguB8VY/

The fires are so extensive across Manitoba, Saskatchewan & Ontario currently that there are not enough air crafts to rescue remote Native Canadians. I am sending an SOS to every nation to help save the lives of people who are going to burn alive. Literally. Canada needs evacuation assistance.

Healthcare for seniors is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse. Food for hungry kids is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse. A $45 military parade for a draft dodging felon *is* waste, fraud, and abuse. Paying the National Guard to attack US citizens *is* waste, fraud, and abuse.

SCOTUS ruled that DOGE could access our social security data. But, we don’t know what DOGE and the Administration are doing with our data. What we do know is they’re working with private AI companies to integrate data in ways we’ve never seen before. We must fight this!

Please help us. We have people who’ve been hurt just trying to help others. More are out now. Please, record everything. We will hold those accountable who are breaking the law and attacking our communities. Do not provoke.

Earlier today ICE agents hit someone with a car and tear gassed a neighborhood, sparking several fires and disrupting businesses. Immigrants, by contrast, did not.

When the LA police says you are overreaching, you are overreaching.

Experts who reviewed the DOGE AI code for ProPublica found numerous and troubling flaws in the system, providing a disturbing glimpse into how the Trump administration is allowing artificial intelligence to guide critical cuts in services. www.propublica.org/article/insi...

Meanwhile ‼️⚖️👇🏾

A less lethal munition started a fire in a dumpster and the LASD continued firing at the car in front of it. In the car is handicapped individual.

California representatives did a check in where migrants were being detained. They found no beds, no food and no water. Children were among the detained.

“He said he will target & punish those who disagree with him or refuse to bend to his will. He calls these Americans ‘The Enemy Within’, including journalists & judges. He says he would use the American Military to go after American Citizens.” -Kamala Harris. She Was Right About Everything.

Doesn’t sound like we need the national guard. 🤔

The Court grants a stay permitting the Government to give unfettered data access to DOGE regardless—despite its failure to show any need or any interest in complying with existing privacy safeguards, and all before we know for sure whether federal law countenances such access. Justice Ketanji Brown

So do we get why I was banned from speaking about Pinochet at the Naval Academy now?

NEW: Lawyers for Abrego Garcia have asked Judge Xinis to consider the CRIME-FRAUD EXCEPTION to the government's privilege assertions in discovery. Plus, NEWLY UNSEALED DOCUMENTS. I don't think contempt is off the table yet. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/newly-unse...

Performative public lying is a hallmark of far right authoritarian parties

Earlier this evening, the Univision crew grabbed their gear and started running when federal police began shooting pepper balls at us. @lataco.bsky.social

I feel like we aren’t making a big enough deal about how insane this is

Although our country is at a perilous moment, we have a great deal of power as citizens. Trump has done his best to make us think that isn’t true. It’s time for us to remember that it is. We’re going to do just that in the weeks and months ahead—and make sure we our power. Joyce Vance

Critically important point from Juliette. The only real justification for federalizing the nat guard over a governors objection is when the civil authorities are defying the law. This is attack on the sovereign right of the people of California to self government.

The Los Angeles Police Department has stated that demonstrations in the city have remained peaceful. Let that sink in.

We are no longer the leader of the free world. We are no longer a beacon of democracy and justice. We are no longer than land of opportunity. We are no longer a nation in which no one is above the law. Our myths about ourselves are killing us. What to do? My latest. open.substack.com/pub/davidrot...

What's happening tonight is anything but law and order. Don't be deceived.

Tanks being moved into DC. National guard being mobilized in LA. Paramilitary thugs being unleashed across America. It's summer in America in fascism is in full bloom.

These are the proactive steps states need to be taking right now. Another thing: every Democratic governor needs to have a sit-down now with the state adjutant general to carefully review that person's understanding of their responsibilities to their state, its citizens and the federal constitution.

Of course the LA Times makes it look like a full on riot instead of showing that the mostly peaceful protesters were literally and constantly assaulted by ICE agents. The majority of fires that were started weren’t by the public but by ICE firing into the crowds and canisters starting fires. 🧵

1/ If accurate, this is almost certainly a conflict with the Posse Comitatus Act, which prohibits the use of the military for domestic law enforcement, including the National Guard if they are federalized.

New statement from Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass:

As California burns and the President federalizes the LA National Guard, CNN airing Good Night, and Good Luck, followed by a panel of legacy journalists discussing trust in the media, feels like a tone-deaf, let-them-eat-cake moment. #LegacyMediaFail #JournalismOrJustTV #CNNvsReality #OutOfTouch

ICE ran over some protesters in Los Angeles. We crossed the rubicon a long time ago. Look at the massive amount of vehicles being used in these Los Angeles raids. And Trump and his thugs are not going to let up.

Not the only angle here (obviously) but this is gonna decimate DC’s Public Works maintenance budget.

Ahem.

LAPD cooperating with federal immigration enforcement in CLEAR VIOLATION OF STATE LAW

Based on reports out of LA, there is nothing that justifies this. Very worrisome when an authoritarian is so eager to deploy the military domestically.

Stop blaming Biden for the failures of your own incompetent regime.

ICE is detaining people in LA in a basement with no beds, no air, no light and not enough food and water. These are crimes.

it appears to be official that for the first time in decades the president has federalized national guard troops and is sending them in to Los Angeles this evening. This is the statement from the White House It’s about to get very, very scary now. Be safe y’all. Fight for one another.

Imagine that. www.npr.org/2025/06/02/n...
