U.S. Military Speaks Out Against Trump Deploying Marines to LA After Trump deployed Marines to Los Angeles, this military member joined an anti-ICE protest in Dallas, declaring, 'We won't be pawns in stripping away constitutional rights.'

I really just want to post about art and baking and pretty flowers but holy fuck the police keep attacking civilians.

In the next civil war, "the dividing line will not be Mason and Dixon, but between patriotism and intelligence on the one side, and superstition, ambition, and ignorance on the other." - Ulysses S. Grant, 1875

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

Gavin Newsom is so incredibly annoying because he is unbearable like 90% of the time but the other 10% he cooks so hard that you can’t help but give it to him

Just yelling, “OCCUPIED” at anyone who asks me to do anything until the marines and guard leave.

Putting summer squash on a pizza because I believe in the power of garden veggies.

There literally are no riots. I’ve seen riots. These are small protests.

Making some small skull plates/dishes. Using daisies/ black eyed Susans from the garden for the eyes. #ceramics

Man the LA Times sucks so hard now. Just this snippet from an article about the protests… “…objectivity is in the eye of the beholder. And even then, it’s largely a mirage.” Post modernist trash. There is no objective truth anymore? Just what your boss says is ok to print I guess.

These aren’t “migrant raids”—they aren’t raiding a secret layer where undocumented immigrants plot their government over throw. These are community raids.

My very white husband just went to the Costco in Van Nuys. He has reported back. HE SURVIVED UNHARMED. No invasion of gangs there. No drama of any kind. Just good deals on large size items and very friendly employees. I love that place. Anyway, don’t believe the hype. #losAngeles

in my city which is apparently in a state of extended military occupation due to extreme and widespread unrest a really kind sanitation worker saw me sitting out front with my kids and gave them free toy trash cans and we talked about recycling

Hello I’m a little white lady from #LosAngeles. Today, I’m planting the last of my squash seeds in my backyard. Apparently, I might need military assistance to do this? I don’t know….Maybe they can carry a bag of fertilizer for me? Seriously, go home. We don’t need you here.

NEW: California's lawsuit against the US over the commandeering of the California National Guard has been assigned to senior US district judge Charles Breyer, a Clinton appointee and younger brother of retired Supreme Court justice Stephen Breyer.

Just posted on my Patreon. Please consider supporting me there for the cost of a cup of coffee. I post about my art and life each week. I use the money to pay for food for my rescue animals and for art supplies.

I have never been able to park at Trader Joes in Atwater Village without street warfare. Thank god help is coming.

Let's all take a moment to read the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878. It's only one sentence.

Every night I sing, “It’s Skritchmas Time in the City!” to Wilder and give him skritches.

lol ok. They are raiding Home Depot’s and restaurants to kidnap people at work, not breaking up the mafia. Are they “killing it” in the paint dept at Home Depot?

Interesting. Where are they gonna sleep and eat?

Some absolute legend bought no fewer than 5 of this shirt.

I honestly feel sorry for how they are treating the National Guard. If anyone wants to quit, I have a guest room and I’ll cook you a really good meal and then send you back to your mom. You deserve better.* *unless you have been tear gassing citizens

I’m worried that the Grateful Dead cover band this weekend is gonna get canceled by the drama. This whole city just wants to eat good Mexican food and dance. Hahah. Leave us alone, you bunch of clowns.

Sending the Marines to shut this down is 2025's Footloose remake.

Peaceful protest is the bedrock of our movement. Thousands demonstrated exactly that – coming together to demand the release of David Huerta and to call for an end to the cruel, destructive, and indiscriminate ICE raids that are tearing apart our communities. #FreeDavidEndRaids

So what’s happening now in Los Angeles is they are taking away our right to peacefully assemble.

#ProudBlue This is what is happening in LA right now. We don’t need help. We don’t want the Marines or National Guard. Our city & state are fine!!! GET OUT! @jesscraven101.bsky.social video credit

"We don't need the fucking Marines @jesscraven101.bsky.social Now from downtown L A. It's peaceful It's their right under the first Amendment "People have their dogs with them " No looting No violence Thank you so much Jess Be peaceful Be safe We Stand with Los Angeles
