David Huerta, the local president of SEIU United Service Workers West, was injured and arrested by federal agents in the midst of a fascist and chaotic immigration “enforcement” event on Friday in Los Angeles. Since then, the current admin is “deploying” to provoke unrest in California.

Let this sink in. Even the Los Angeles Police Chief, Jim McDonnell, made it clear: the people protesting immigration raids were not the ones causing violence. During a Sunday evening press conference, McDonnell condemned the violence as “disgusting”

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

Did you watch “Good Night and Good luck” last night? “The terror is in the room.” It’s time to stand up. It’s time to speak truth to power. This bowing down to tyrants and assholes has to stop. #SupportTerryMoran

It's possible that future historians will mark the Federal government's use of California National Guard troops against American citizens in Los Angeles as a precurser of the Second American Civil War

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

You know what, some intrepid reporter should go interview these protesters. I’ll bet that almost all of them are American citizens.

For anyone who doesn’t live in Los Angeles or understand the geography of the city, the area is actually quite small where police are currently rioting.

To be in public office right now is to constantly ask yourself: How do I make sure I'm standing on the right side of history? There's a simple answer. The wrong side of history will always tell you to be afraid - the right side of history will always expect you to be brave.

Deploying the military on U.S. soil as law enforcement against Americans was on page 555 of Project 2025. So don’t say “I didn’t vote for this,” because you did. This isn’t a response. This was always their plan.

ABC suspended reporter Terry Moran for a now-deleted tweet calling Stephen Miller a “world class hater.” They said it violates their standards. Here’s a thought…maybe your standards should allow calling out white nationalism and hate when you see it.

All this because fucking Stephen Miller hates brown people. All this nonsense just to deport people working as roofers, tradesmen, busboys, cooks, waiters, etc.

If you see any member of law enforcement act in a way you believe to be inappropriate, illegal, unjust, unkind… be a good witness. Record what you can safely (and without making yourself the focus of their attention). Note all the little details. Report it. That’s how you increase accountability.

The National Guard has arrived in Los Angeles, but they were not requested by California. Both Governor Newsom and Mayor Bass made it clear that the state did not authorize or want federal troops deployed.

FOTUS is deploying the military to attack citizens who are peacefully protesting. Just like millions of us will be doing for NO KINGS Day next Saturday. He is using this tactic to scare us. No way! We will not be deterred. See you on the streets America! #FOTUSIsACriminal

@raskin.house.gov Yo, is setting the US Military against US Citizens under false pretenses considered ripe attributes for charges of Treason to be drawn against the US President?

Is there a news network that will show courage like CBS did during the McCarthy hearings? Is there? Or are they all cowering in their posh offices worried about stock options and mergers?

It’s obvious but worth drawing out what raids of Home Depot’s of all places is about. It’s rounding up people who are really eager for work and for whom there is work, peoples whose labor is in demand. We know this but shows just how far it is from rounding up just the bad guys.

What we are seeing now in the US has been the reality for everyone who is not white for the entirety of our existence as a nation. When you as a white person say "its never been like this"? What you are effectively saying is "its never been like this for white people" & thats why you are upset

There was NO MANDATE to gut cancer research. There was NO MANDATE to gut the National Weather Service. There was NO MANDATE to terrorize our communities with ICE thugs. There was NO MANDATE to make a felon a king.

These militarist ICE raids are the actual government oppression that right wingers dreamed was happening during Covid. They are not up in arms like they were about masking, go figure.

There is NO mandate for mass deportations of our friends and neighbors in our communities. There is NO mandate for invasion of ICE assholes into our cities and states. There was NO mandate for the evil orange felon. NONE. So sick of this bullshit.

ICE is a much greater threat to this country than illegal immigrants. The current administration ia by far the greatest threat this country faces. The problem is not st our borders. It is in the White House.

@michelemanziano.bsky.social The head of the National Guard, the Chief of the National Guard Bureau, General Steven S. Nordhaus, has stated that the National Guard will not follow illegal orders. This is consistent with the principle that military personnel are obligated to disobey unlawful orders

I notice people calling what we’re seeing these last couple of days “riots.” I was here during the 1992 Los Angeles riots. That’s not what this is. Local police can handle this, but ICE needs to back off—especially with these amateur hires who don’t know what the f*ck they’re doing.

The most critical thing I've learned in my 60 years and my six years as governor is that there's almost nothing more important than showing up. Like I told the graduates at Knox College, be generous with your time — showing up is a meaningful thing that only you can do.

The most fundamental characteristic of fascism is its cult of violence. Where there is no pre-existing violence to exploit, violence must be manufactured.

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.
