Three things about this comment: 1. Homan is a White House adviser who doesn't have the power to arrest anyone. Neither does Trump. 2. Trump once again acts like he's not in charge. "If I were Tom, I'd do it." Uh, doesn't he work for you? 3. THREATENING TO ARREST A GOVERNOR IS A FIVE ALARM FIRE

Constitutional law expert: Many attacks on the judiciary don’t appear to be animated by a desire for good-faith debates… they seem instead of a piece of other efforts to neutralize any actor or institution that would “seek to limit this President’s power.”

Violence is never acceptable—of course, I condemn it. But I've also got news for everyone: the President who pardoned criminals who beat police officers nearly to death DOESN'T care about public safety. Trump just wants more chaos as pretext to further abuse his authority.

We see what they’re doing. They’re baiting us, trying to provoke violence to justify a crackdown. Don’t give them the footage they want. Every broken window becomes propaganda in their hands. Stay sharp. Stay united. We’re here to fight for justice, not feed their narrative.

WATCH: “Here’s the big scary LA protest — look: you don’t see the cops or the National guard here… are there any fires or chemical smoke? Wonder why that is.” The people are peaceful. Law enforcement is doing the escalating. Intentionally. This has always been Trump’s plan.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

Former Vice President Kamala Harris, who lives in Los Angeles, said the immigration arrests and Guard deployment were designed as part of a “cruel, calculated agenda to spread panic and division.” She said she supports those “standing up to protect our most fundamental rights and freedoms.”

A militarized swarm of federal agents, LAPD, LASD, and other state and local police forces aggressively descended on Los Angeles to wreak havoc on its population. If media wants to malign the nature of the protests in response, they’re missing the forest for the trees.

Los Angeles: don’t take Trump’s bait. Trump wants chaos and he’s instigated violence. Those who assault law enforcement or cause property damage will risk arrest. Stay peaceful. Stay focused. Don’t give him the excuse he’s looking for.

And here in NYC today another shocking escalation by Trump. The law explicitly allows unannounced visits by congressmembers to federal facilities. This is yet another breach of democratic norms by an increasingly rogue administration. Don't normalize this.

In itself it's not the biggest thing but Congress specifically passed a law requiring ICE to allow access to members of Congress because of Trump's antics in the first term. This isn't even norms. It's violating black letter statute law.

Senator Ted Cruz posted a dramatic video of LAPD cars on fire with the caption “this… is… not… peaceful.” What he didn’t mention? The footage was from 2020, not 2025. His post on X falsely implied it was current, part of a broader effort to spread lies and manufacture a crisis.

The feds kidnapping and trafficking people is a violent crime. Protesting it is fighting back against abuses of power. The government claiming protestors started the violence is DARVO—Deny, Attack, and Reverse Victim and Offender. It’s what abusers do when they face consequences.

It’s so plainly and obviously righteous to resist mass deportations with force that I think the people who want to convince us to be more afraid of the protestors than of ICE must imagine their audiences to be very stupid.

Prescient. "Los Angeles, which is still dealing with devastating fires and the total loss of much of the northwestern side of the metro area, will provide a tempting pretext for invoking the Insurrection Act, and starting his presidency with "shock and awe."
