Law enforcement officers in Los Angeles clashed for a third day on Sunday with crowds of people demonstrating against the Trump administration’s crackdown on immigration. https://trib.al/joEhNMk

This is a massive calculated over- reaction... 500 Marines are “in a prepared-to-deploy status"!!! www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Even though it could happen to anyone, you KNOW he hated this...

FU!!! YOU ARE ALL EVIL, FOUL PEOPLE! YOU ARE SICK BULLIES! #Pinks

Ask any Republican for comments about LAPD cops trampling with their horses on a man on the ground and beating the shit out of him and they'll say I didn't see it!!

I'm afraid that we've lost it. #GoodMorning #Bonjour I've been watching the pink in the sky for an hour. Just as the sun was about to rise, the horizon cleared.

The hypocrisy is rife as always. MAGA claim Jan 6th was a peaceful protest, National Guard were called in at the very last moment, certainly no Marines. Yet a few people gather in LA with placards and that's a call for war?

The protests are escalating. Waymo taxis are burning. People are being trapped by police/national guard and tear gassed which prompts them to fight back... ... all this is escalating quickly. It produces the exact images and videos Trump wants and needs to, as I speculate,

Gov Newsom says Trump "created the conditions" of the LA protests. He went on to call Trump a liar about their phone call and the decision to deploy the National Guard. About Tom Homan's threats of arrest. "Tom, arrest me. Let's go". Trump once again is deflecting from the Musk 'fight'. #GoGavin

In time they will!

I remember having Whooping Cough. It wasn’t that I *stopped* breathing, it was more that I couldn’t. Seemed like the top of the lungs couldn’t exhale, and that air prevented inhalation. I understand how a person could die from it.

Okay, dummies, you still ignore the obvious solution: Tax the rich the way Eisenhower did, and improve our infrastructure as he did. And audit Medicare/ Medicaid like Obama did. The only one who ever seriously did it. He found fraud. substack.com/@demwinsmedi...

I seem to remember this being wall to wall news coverage of Biden on Fox News……. Bet there isn’t a peep about this www.thedailybeast.com/trump-78-stu...

😯

Federal officials prevented two members of Congress on Sunday from entering an immigration detention facility in Manhattan where the representatives were seeking to investigate reports of overcrowding, stifling heat and migrants sleeping on bathroom floors.

ABC should be required to air this a dozen times a day, just like FOX did with Joe Biden for two years as an apology to Terry Moran for speaking the truth.

Trump is a traitor.

Which one of you smart mfers is going to write about the military invasion of LA happening simultaneously with the Israeli capture of the Freedom Flotilla? Toggling between these two stories feels…something notable. But maybe it’s actually just really fucking simple.

Yes, that was very clear and exactly what I wrote

My people

James Woods & Ted Cruz are both TRUMP CULTISTS. IT'S PROBABLY A TESLA...

As a Russia expert, my considered view is that this is not Russia, so stop acting like you've already been defeated by a powerful state.

I’m not religious. But I’m watching these Republican professed “Christians” wearing cross necklaces, praying in the Capitol, buying Trump Bibles, and I’m thinking that they don’t plan ahead much. They’re gonna have a lot of s’plainin’ to do on their Judgement Day. substack.com/@johnpavlovi...

It's happening as we speak.

Los Angeles knows the difference between a protest and riot. When LA riots, I promise you’ll know.

Breakups are hard, especially when they play out in the public sphere. Here’s the tea on what’s happening between Trump and Elon in their messy spat.  But in all seriousness, we need to kill the bill. ⬇️

FUCK….

You guys may not be aware of it but there’s a silent struggle being fought between my competing desires to remain in bed, my need for coffee, and my urge to pee.

During Trump's first term, he took a lot of advice on who to place in his cabinet. That's how we got Mark Esper as DOD who refused to open fire on protesters. Now without even being asked, Hegseth is threatening to deploy Marines domestically. Prepare for war.

Run them out today

Please read full thread. This is very well laid out. #Pinks

everyone who’s spent years stockpiling weapons and screeching about “tyranny” and “government overreach” sure is fucking quiet right now
