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.

HAPPENING NOW: A massive crowd has flooded the streets of Los Angeles—facing down Trump’s American Gestapo with fire, fury, and zero fear. This isn’t just protest. It’s defiance. And it’s only getting louder.

Trump just ordered a federal “liberation” of Los Angeles. From who? Migrants. He’s using immigrants as a pretext for force. Call it what it is — authoritarian theater with real casualties. Never forget this.

So on one hand Los Angeles is having to fight back against ICE and state violence and on the other hand Israel just abducted everyone aboard the Madleen including Greta Thunberg and confiscated all aid so everything’s pretty fucking bad

Man, it's bad enough to watch your nation sinking into fascist dystopia but for THAT guy? the barely-sentient former game show host with the laughably stupid combover? Really, that's the dude for whom we're giving up democracy?

kind of just endlessly sad and grieving that there are so few voices in the public sphere making the basic principled argument that immigration is an affirmative good in every way and the best way for this country to serve humanity is to welcome people who want or need to leave their homes

To be clear, this is what an insurrection looks like:

Healthcare for seniors is not waste, fraud, or abuse. Food for hungry kids is not waste, fraud, or abuse. A $45 military parade for a draft dodging felon is waste, fraud, and abuse. Paying the National Guard to attack US citizens is waste, fraud, and abuse.

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"

On the way to D.C. Watch in disgust BTW This will cost YOU $25 to $45 Million according to U.S. Army affairs office. BTW 8,000 Veterans have been fired and 80,000 are expected to be let go due to spending cuts BTW Veterans will also lose healthcare coverage with cuts to Medicaid Fascism

What happened on January 6th was an insurrection, but Trump didn’t deploy the National Guard because he wanted the insurrection to succeed. What’s happening in LA is NOT an insurrection, but he did deploy the National Guard because he wants an excuse to use the Insurrection Act. Period.

Bluntly, Hegseth is incompetent, has a lust for violence and doesn’t care if he violates the Constitution. He’s a drunk and has zero humanity. He’s purposely stoking the flames in Los Angeles. www.rawstory.com/hegseth-la-p...

The Obama administration deported over 3.16 million people. Biden’s passed 4.44 million. Not once did either need troops in the streets to do it. That’s all you need to know about what’s happening.

Pete Hegseth is now threatening to send the Marines into Los Angeles. Make no mistake: this is a declaration of war against the United States.

L.A. is a Mexican-American city. The majority of the population is made up of racial and ethnic minorities. We are all happy living together and really do not want to see our friends, neighbors and families being terrorized by federal robo-cops. This is bullshit.

I was an immigration lawyer for about fifteen years. The people I met… the way they wanted to give their absolute best to this country, and then DID. Skills, ideas, beauty, culture… that’s what they bring. America is a nation of immigrants, and immigration is what made America.

This is what I was really worried about, and being without news for the past several hours, I used "riot" when I shouldn't have. I'll still argue that clearing the streets is a good idea, esp with ppl in the administration spoiling for a public fight.

Reminder that this country had an insurrection on Jan 6 and Trump refused to send in the National Guard.

Remember: Trump is deploying the National Guard to assist ICE as they unlawfully ambush undocumented immigrants in Los Angeles who are trying to comply with immigration law by attending their ICE mandated check-in appointments. www.cbsnews.com/news/immigra...

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.

As the LAPD is reporting, the protestors in LA are being peaceful. This is not a rebellion or an invasion. There is no legal basis, including under 10 U.S. Code § 12406, for Trump to take over California's National Guard. Trump is trying to cross the Rubicon and take this country into tyranny.

When the head of a country mobilizes the military against the country’s citizens, what is that called again? #LosAngeles #Paramount #ICE #raids

Funny how ICE who is so allegedly fighting undocumented gang members has only managed to round up normal working class people, traumatize children, and fight US citizens in the streets.

They said they wanted cheaper eggs, but now they’re losing their weather service, disaster relief, food assistance and health insurance in exchange for a birthday parade, a bro-fight and a ballroom.

Cutting school meals...slashing aid programs—then blowing millions on a military parade to boost your image? That’s not leadership. That’s hypocrisy in uniform. America deserves better than budget cuts for the needy and pageants for power. Trump has embarrassed this country for many years now.

NEW: Unbelievable. A seemingly endless line of tanks & other military vehicles arrive in DC ahead of next week's parade. They departed Texas 5 days ago. What a colossal waste of time, money & military resources. All for a President who has shown zero respect for service personnel. (🎥 DW)

This seems like a great day to remind Bluesky that Stephen Miller lived four doors down from me freshman year And our student council person asked him (and everyone) to sign a birthday card for our dorm’s janitor And he threw a tantrum and wrote an op-ed about not socializing with “the help.”

Do you know how absolutely baseless and terrible a case had to be for a US district attorney to resign rather than prosecute it?

The Secret Police have to stay secret because Americans might be mean to them? People on the public payroll have to be... well, public. We pay for them. We deserve to know where our money is going, and what is being done in our name.
