The city seal of Los Angeles incorporates the American, Spanish, Mexican and California Flags ALL AT ONCE Because Los Angeles pre-dates both Mexico and America. Flying ANY of these flags is showing pride for the city of LA

Newsom: Just moments ago, they called up an additional 2,000 National Guard troops. So now it’s 4,000 total—of which only 300 have actually been operationalized. And guess what? Yesterday, LAPD had to use their already scarce resources to protect those National Guardsmen and women…

RFK Jr.‘s extreme anti-vax views — and his related conflicts of interest — were a huge problem during his confirmation process. So he promised not to change the vaccine advisory panel. Today, he fired every single expert on that panel. It's a public health disaster.

If you're a Marine or other service member being mobilized to Los Angeles and you'd like to apply for conscientious objector status, call the GI Rights Hotline to get some guidance on your options: 1-877-447-4487

If you’re watching @maddow.msnbc.com’s A Block you understand that people who stand up for other people can change the course of those people’s lives & our history. We have the power to refuse Trump’s path forward. Protesting actually works. Let’s go.

I'm grateful that if I post that Stephen Miller is a hateful dickbag on social media, no one can fire me from MSW Media because I own it. I might not be your cup of tea, but thanks to all who support independent media 💙🙏

Yeah my job is pretty cool. My uniform is a tactical vest that’s two sizes too small and a gaiter I bought in a gas station. They send me to sneak into schools to kidnap little kids because people got mad about having to press 1 for English. The president had to warn everyone to stop spitting on me.

Good news, everyone. A credible source tells me ICE thugs were staying at AC Hotels in Pasadena. They’ve now been forced out of the hotel and the tires on a majority of their vehicles have been slashed.

why is the president the only person testing the limits of his power? everyone should see what they can get away with. what if zookeepers gave helicopters to gorillas? nobody has tried this

East LA

This is sooo true, and you don't even need a long timeline either, however with a long timeline I think virtually every accusation out of his dumb little mouth turns out to be something he has done.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

BREAKING: LA solidarity protesters in Austin are occupying JJ Pickle Federal Building, which houses local ICE processing center

Protesters being arrested in Dallas now

To be perfectly clear: the 700 Marines being deployed to Los Angeles are being sent by Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump to escalate the violence by figuratively pouring gasoline everywhere and lighting a match. Donald Trump accuses his opponents of what he is actually doing.

"It gets somewhat lost in all the other high octane dimensions of this story that a raid on a Home Depot is literally an effort to arrest people who are eager to work and whose labor is in great demand. It’s about as far as you can get from just going after the bad guys, as the WH routinely claims."

Fuck Uber.

Lauren Tomasi, Australian 9News reporter, fired on and struck by Trump's Gestapo. He knew she was press.

If the objective was really apprehending people without legal authority to be in the country, ICE would never have to leave Mar-a-Lago.

This administration couldn’t be bothered to lift a finger when unprecedented wild fires ravaged Los Angeles, but now they have to leap frog state government? This conflint is by their design.

LA IS NOT A DISTRACTION. This stuff was literally in Project 2025. We MUST walk and chew gum at the same time if only because immigrant lives matter.

Passive voice obfuscates responsibility for actions. That's why journalists should avoid it 99% of the time. Like this lede: She "was hit." But it was an officer who shot her, not a rogue rubber bullet that autonomously took flight and slammed into her.

Ok gang looks like we arrested a bunch of people who haven't committed any crimes so our next order of business is to invent some crimes to charge them with

Excellent idea!! They aren't pitching tents, they must be cashing in that gov't discount hotel rate somewhere...hotel workers, care to share some tea?

Trump in 2020: We have to go by the laws. We can't move in the National Guard. I can call insurrection but there's no reason to ever do that, even in a Portland case. We can't call in the National Guard unless we're requested by a governor.

They’re calling it a “Big Beautiful Bill”—but it’s really a Big Beautiful Betrayal. Slashing Medicaid to fund tax breaks for the wealthy isn’t just bad policy—it’s a direct attack on children, seniors, and people with disabilities.

The President needs to explain why he took the escalatory step of activating the Nat’l Guard. As an Army vet, I know that using the military domestically should ONLY be a last resort.

Downtown Los Angeles Free David Huerta rally just starting. Do not fuck with the unions, folks.

This is precisely correct.

🚨 alert! 🚨 alert! Run for your lives, there’s a band playing!

LATEST ON ABREGO GARCIA: The DOJ asked the case in Maryland be stayed; A G lawyers in a blistering response: "Until the Government is held accountable for its blatant, willful, and persistent violations of court orders at excruciating cost to Abrego Garcia and his family, this case is not over."

Marine veterans are speaking out against the troop deployment in Los Angeles. Across the country, they’re taking down their American flags that have flown in front of their homes for years. Remember, we have friends everywhere.

Tom Homan says he was taken out of context by a reporter when he threatened to arrest Gavin Newsom. "The NBC reporter that interviewed me is very dishonest. We did a 20 minute interview and he cuts out a little clip and takes my words out of context." Jonathan Lemire: "NBC stands by its reporting"

Has he read the names of towns in CA?

I am sure he was just as mad when Polish-Americans waived flags on Pulaski Day in Chicago...
