The value lies in making it super expensive for ICE to operate: dirty deeds are not being done dirt cheap!!!

the white house thinks brute force is, no pun intended, a trump card. they don’t anticipate pushback and they don’t know how to handle it with anything other than escalation. the issue is that each escalation is itself a gamble. if protesters refuse to back down, you’ve lost face. (1/?)

It's official. Trump has federalized the California National Guard in LA. Really, REALLY not good.

People in Los Angeles rising up against ICE.

Washington just took the reasonable step of not allowing the National Guard of other states to operate here without our agreement. It’s not the Guard personnel we are concerned about, it’s other governors in the Trump cult. katu.com/news/local/g...

These are the proactive steps states need to be taking right now. Another thing: every Democratic governor needs to have a sit-down now with the state adjutant general to carefully review that person's understanding of their responsibilities to their state, its citizens and the federal constitution.

Deeply worried about this.

Message from Governor Gavin Newsom Re: Calling out National Guard in Los Angeles "will only escalate tensions) We stand with you Los Angeles Be safe Watch out for each other GESTAPO ICE MUST STOP BE SAFE OUT THERE

The "weave" has been rechristened:

ICE ran over some protesters in Los Angeles. We crossed the rubicon a long time ago. Look at the massive amount of vehicles being used in these Los Angeles raids. And Trump and his thugs are not going to let up.

California Stand Strong . 💪 👍🛸👽🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

There's also the friction saw method, which is why you should lace your shoes with paracord.

The current federal tax system disproportionately favors billionaires and burdens the working class, while enabling the ultra-wealthy to exploit loopholes, exacerbating income inequality and undermining the principle that no one should be taxed into poverty… In other words, we are footing the bill.

There is absolutely zero need for the federal government to invoke the Insurrection Act, federalize the CA National Guard over state government objections, and send troops into Los Angeles. This will be bad for the situation in LA, and bad for the US military

He’s a Sikh, not a Muslim, you F moron. It’s “deeply disturbing” that someone as bigoted as you is a member of Congress.

JUST IN: Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was mistakenly deported to El Salvador, is on his way back to the U.S., ABC News reports abcnews.go.com/US/mistakenl...

With aggressive ICE raids, a new travel ban, Trump’s attacks on foreign students, and a trade war with multiple countries, I honestly don’t see how the 2026 World Cup happens in the U.S.

BREAKING: Donald Trump tells NBC News that Elon Musk will face “very serious consequences” if he funds Democratic candidates. Like Musk or not, a president threatening private citizens over political donations isn’t just wrong, it’s authoritarianism.

Fox News host: “The Epstein file thing was way over the top. It's just crazy to say that Trump was in the Epstein files. What are you doing? Sometimes when people get drunk they do crazy things. This is a total escalation.”🍿
