So the National Guard & the Marines haven’t even been used in Los Angeles yet, huh? So there really was no need for the National Guard & the Marines in Los Angeles, was there? So all just another big, ugly, cruel, divisive, violence-inciting Trump lie, huh? Shocker.

We knew that some immigrant-citizen couples would choose to leave everything behind to start anew in a foreign country. We may never truly know how many families have made that wrenching choice, or what finally pushed them to do so.

Newsom: Police should police—not the military. That’s what happens in third-world countries, and that’s exactly what Donald Trump is trying to impose on the American people: a mindset of militarization, power, dominance, and control—not the rule of law. This is a very, very serious moment.

Really important story - army officials asked soldiers to identify themselves if they don't agree with Trump's politics that way he'd get only supportive soldiers in uniform during his political rally on base. Heavier soldiers were also barred from participating.

Once again, if even a single municipal level Democrat ever said something like this about rural Iowa or Texas or its citizens, it would be a week-long National Conversation™️ on CNN about the need for liberals to respect Real Folkz & be more civil. This? Gone tomorrow. Because it’s another week.

I think we’ve reached a boiling point when it comes to ICE. Today in Minneapolis, a militarized task force raided the beloved Lake Street taqueria, Las Cuatro Milpas—and the community was not having it. Agents from ICE, the DEA, FBI, ATF, IRS and HHS rolled up looking like they were ready for war.
