A judge blocked Trump from deploying the National Guard in Los Angeles! The ruling orders the administration to return control of the National Guard to the California governor. It takes effect on Friday!

It’s looking more and more like a dictatorship. That’s no way to treat a U.S. Senator. Claiming he was an attacker and failed to identify himself is delusional he’s a sitting senator. America is watching, and the tides are turning.

This is about disaster capitalism. This is about heaping responsibility upon states that won't have the resources to rebuild after climate catastrophes, so that governors and municipalities will wind up making deals with billionaire devils. This is how they will create corporate fiefdoms.

Answers are needed. One is seeking answers. Without answers, there are no questions

I just wanna say something really plainly that I haven’t seen spelled out like this There is no such thing as legal immigration anymore. Because they are taking people at their citizenship hearings they are taking people who are doing everything by the book. 1/2

Any member of the "media" in that room should have said, "THAT IS SENATOR PADILLA! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?" And called her ass out right there. Until every last one of them had been thrown out. They did not...and that is one of our biggest problems.

Hahahahahahahahahha

excited for the NYT live blog of their colleagues being dragged out of 620 Eighth Ave next month

The date is June 12, 2025. The location is Los Angeles, California, United States of America. A U.S. Senator who questioned this President's actions was forcibly thrown to the ground by armed officers. This is the America Trump always wanted. It’s up to us to save our country.

House Republicans just voted to cut off public radio broadcasts, defund your local PBS station, and rip away lifesaving aid and bipartisan investments to advance U.S. interests around the world. I'll be doing everything I can to defeat this bill as it comes to the Senate.

SHUT. IT. DOWN. A senator was dragged out of a press conference for standing up for his constituents and against fascism. Watch how your representatives and senators respond to their own colleague being treated like this. That'll show you how they'll react when it's *you* on the ground.

Possible to start to tell a unified story: "Trump is personally too old, crazy, and confused to run things, so at any given time the question is which co-president is in charge. At first it was Musk, & we got the crazy chaotic DOGE era. Then Navarro: a trade war that crashed markets. Now Miller..."

Hearing from a few reporters that protesters in New York have taken to chanting “LA LA make us proud/burn another Waymo down”

What they aren’t showing on Fox News

Spokane, Washington tonight became the center of national attention after a peaceful protest outside an ICE facility was escalated by police.

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

something's happening

We're Not Leaving! #GetOutICE #NoSleepForICE #ICEOutOfLA - Hilton Garden Inn in #Arcadia

Thousands of New Yorkers march in lower Manhattan calling for ICE out of New York. Starting at Foley Square and organized by PSL, the masses have flooded the streets and are moving west. This demo is permitted but even if it wasn’t, it would be far too large for NYPD to contain.

look who learned what 86 means

All the people I still know in LA laugh and laugh when they hear that "Los Angeles is burning." I made a couple of maps to show just how tiny and localized the protests are. GOPers are working really hard to make an excuse for declaring martial law. People should be very wary of that.

Find your closest rally on Saturday and go. You can tell your kids where you were on the other side of this. Outnumber him everywhere. www.nokings.org#map

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

The idea we should behave in such a way that the Trumpists will not portray us as dangerous/ lawless/ violent is a silly idea, because they always portray us that way and no amount of curtseys and rolling over and playing dead will change that. So people might as well speak up and stand strong.

Very easy to feel doomerish right now, but I'm taking some heart from this @leahgreenberg.bsky.social message laying out the rationale for Saturday's No Kings protests.

anyway I’m going out to protest this weekend because we haven’t been beaten yet, and I suggest you do the same it’ll make you feel better than reading an endless stream of posts about how we’re all doomed and we might as well offer ourselves up to be processed into slurry for the MAGA AI mines now

BREAKING: Miller reportedly engineered the raids that sparked the protests that have engulfed the city in recent days—likely because he wanted a pretext to send in federal troops. https://trib.al/oM1280f

The war always comes home

Seattle protestors are using the new seated Lime scooters to keep ICE goons from leaving the immigration court clearly time to send in the marines

California's Attorney General on MSNBC just now: "There is no insurrection. There is no invasion"

Today in “Is Los Angeles Burning?”: No.

From blazing Waymos and National Guard troops, to an anti-ICE Labubu, L.A. TACO was there to capture it all. Here’s the full photo essay: lataco.com/downtown-la-...

Being in the country illegally, is in fact, not a criminal offense. It's a civil violation. On the level of severity of a traffic ticket. If this weren't true, every unlawful person present would have a right to a jury trial.
