This is terrifying, so please read this as cope: The Wilshire Federal Building is 15 miles from the protests in downtown Los Angeles. It is a half-hour drive. You could fit an entire Manhattan, the long way, between them.

If the Stephen Miller freakshow is too much even for Ron Johnson (!) it’s probably worth confronting Republicans with the ugly truth: they aren’t being bullied into supporting “the MAGA agenda.” They’re being bullied into helping a sadistic degenerate get his fix. www.offmessage.net/p/the-greedy...

this is a good wake up call for elected Dems to realize what’s happening and what’s going to happen not generally, not in the abstract, but to them personally shut it all down and start acting like you’re in immediate danger, because you are

Kevin de León, the Democrat cited in this article, was caught on tape making vile racist and homophobic remarks, and was unanimously censured by the LA City Council. Politico doesn’t think you need to know this context for their deceptive propaganda.

I’m hooting and hollering: “Zohran is proud not to have the experience of defunding the MTA, cutting Medicaid, empowering Republicans and resigning in disgrace after being credibly accused of serial sexual harassment,” Mamdani campaign spokesperson Andrew Epstein said about Cuomo’s comments.

Here’s a video of Stephen Miller in high school screaming that he’s “sick and tired of being told to pick up my trash, when we have plenty of janitors who are paid to do it for us.” This is the sociopath shaping our immigration policy and so much more

Are you planning to attend the FIFA World Cup in Miami? Be prepared. ICE is warning non-citizens to bring their papers. As you know, papers don’t ensure your safety. You may want to reconsider attending. This is intimidation, 💯.

Quinnipiac national poll: Trump's approval rating is 38/53. GOP's approval rating is 32/61. But they have one thing going for them — Democrats are even more unpopular. Dems' approval rating is 21/70. The congressional Democratic Party is under water with Democratic voters.

Don’t be afraid. the Fort Bragg speech is designed to demoralize you, it isn’t a sign of anything except that a guy who’s good at being fake on TV is trying to be a tyrant. Does it suck that he’s the President? Yeah. But people are standing up, the issues are in the courts, and we’re America

Periodic reminder that every day is STFU Friday Also, sharing the location of cops in the public performance of their jobs is ironclad First Amendment-protected expression If you're concerned something you've said has you on the Government's radar, call your lawyer instead of posting through it

Trump, talking at Fort Bragg right now about Los Angeles, is doing something I'm not sure I've ever seen a president do: he's actively maligning people in Los Angeles — an American city — in front of U.S. troops. And the troops are applauding. As an Army brat myself, this strikes me as very new.

An LAPD officer in a helicopter announced to a crowd of protestors “I have all of you on camera. I’m going to come to your house.” This is the very definition of using surveillance and the threat of reprisals to chill constitutionally-protected free speech.

Brand-new polling from YouGov out this AM finds Trump's actions re: LA underwater. Double-digit disapproval on sending in Marines. This should be a reality check for those people arguing the protests inherently help Trump bc his immigration approval # is positive. today.yougov.com/topics/polit...
