So, during the greatest terrorist attack in American history, 9/11, the National Guard was never called, but Trump called them on people trying to protect the rights and dignity of their fellow human beings through protest? How does that circle square up for you?🤨 It doesn’t for me. FFS!🤦🏼‍♀️ 🤬

We’re deeply disappointed in much of the U.S. media. Grateful, however, to international journalists who are telling the truth.

My message to the people of California. Trump is threatening to use the marines against the American people. He is a despot. Californians -be strong. You are the front line in the fight for democracy. The free world stands with you. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yu20...

Some Republicans have drawn parallels between President Trump’s dispatching of National Guard troops to Los Angeles on Saturday and what happened in 1992, when soldiers and Marines were sent to the Los Angeles area to restore order after the Rodney King riots. But that was a far different situation.

The presidential memorandum never mentions Los Angeles or California. It’s a blank check for mobilizing National Guard and active duty troops to deploy anywhere to protect federal personnel or functions wherever protests “are occurring or are likely to occur.” www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Where were you when Donald Trump almost face-planted while climbing the steps of Air Force One? That’s a question your grandkids will ask, as we all know—citing 2024 candidate Trump, here, for the premise—that tripping on any kind of steps is the final confirmation of dementia

Look at this. Representative Rob Bresnahan said he would ban stock trading when he got into Congress in January. Since then, he's traded 530 times.

My undergraduate minor was in the history of science, so I'm long familiar with Social Darwinism. Like the fact that Charles Darwin never said "survival of the fittest." He decried that oversimplified & distorted version of his ideas, coined by a Spcial Darwinist. Good primer:

Reports and video show flash-bangs thrown into piles of debris just before a car caught fire, strongly suggesting it was law enforcement, not protesters, who sparked it. More details are coming. Don’t let them control the narrative. Thank you to everyone sharing footage, always record everything.

Just to recap, Trump has taken the extraordinary step of federalizing 2000 member of the California National Guard — over the objections of the state’s governor — in response to a protest that currently involves A FEW DOZEN PEOPLE AT A HOME DEPOT

Meiselas: As we wrote on the MeidasTouch account—Trump lit the match, poured the gasoline, and now wants to use the blaze he created as a pretext to burn it all down.
