For fans of motorcycle racing, race finishes don't get more exciting than Moto2 in Aragon this weekend. Simply, Wow 😳

The military isn’t being employed to carry out an immigration policy. The immigration policy, and especially the way the administration is choosing to carry it out, is an excuse to call out the military.

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

This is true.

Big point that is being missed: without the insurrection act, the activated Guard troops are now federal army and cannot Do law enforcement. Period

Booker: "We have a president who did nothing as people stormed our Capitol, & then when those people who viciously beat police & led to some of their deaths - therefore cop killers - were convicted, he pardoned them. So for him to be talking about responsive law enforcement is hypocritical at best"

I think we’ve found the source of the violence

Right now, the President of the United States is treating the citizens of the second largest city in the country as enemies, to be put down by the military. This from a guy who as sitting President sent a mob to storm the US Capital and did nothing to stop the violence that ensued.

The National Guard in LA is visibly carrying lethal weapons. If they use those weapons, killing protesting American citizens, the consequences will be unimaginable. Some in the media are predicting that Trump wants this to happen. Let's not give him that excuse. Keep it peaceful. (2/2)

There is talk in the media about not giving Trump what he wants by protesting aggressively against ICE or the presence of the Guard in LA. That's a tough argument in the face of the injustices of ICE, and the violent tactics they use. (1/2)

Sen Bernie Sanders (I-VA) just now on CNN: "We have a President moving this country rapidly into authoritarianism. He's suing media who criticize him. He's going after law firms that have clients who were against him. He's suing universities who teach courses he doesn't like"

They’re not behaving as if they’re in a four-year term. They’re behaving as if they’re in an everlasting dictatorship. Are we all clear on this?

This is a major escalation: threatening to turn the US military on its own citizens. This is NOT allowed! This dumbass has no idea what he is doing!

"It's really hard to fathom that the guy making my pizza for 25 years is a gangster and a terrorist, and the person who shows up in an unmarked car wearing a mask and body armor comes to take him away is somehow the good guy” www.wnep.com/article/news...

Dear journalists. When the US President is openly accused of paedophilia the story is either impeachment or defamation. If not, the story is how words have lost all meaning, truth has lost all value, and journalists are now completely desensitised to lying and corruption.

Most Americans believe in fair play. Trump and his minions absolutely do not. Attacking thousands of migrants who followed all the rules to legally be here is unjust at the very least. Those now perpetrating this outage should be remembered and held accountable. apple.news/AIY8waxo1TYi...

“It’s impossible to get him back from El Salvador until we manufacture a criminal charge” is a hell of an argument

🏆 I love LA.

An unsecured weapon next to a megaton of caffeine. Nothing to see here, folks.

Ah, the golden age.
