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.”

This is an important reminder: even the LAPD acknowledged yesterday that everything was peaceful. Then Trump brought the chaos. He is responsible.

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."

Both statements are from last night. Note difference between how Trump characterizes conditions in LA ("RIOTS AND LOOTERS"), vs how the LAPD does ("Peaceful Protests")

New @motherjones.com: Behind the chaos in LA is an ICE policy to raid workplaces in a bid to increase the number of deportations at all costs. Here's a bit on why and how they are doing it and the disastrous impact they could have on the US workforce: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

People who think we can't have a Tiananmen Square incident in this country where the government massacres its own people because our boys in the military or national guard wouldn't fire on their own fellow citizens have not been paying attention to our history, especially the last four months.

So, according to MAGA, setting a parked car on fire warrants the National Guard, but erecting a pop-up gallows with the VP’s name on it does not. Do I have that about right?

Critically important point from Juliette. The only real justification for federalizing the nat guard over a governors objection is when the civil authorities are defying the law. This is attack on the sovereign right of the people of California to self government.

I’ve covered protests in this city for at least a decade. Last time I remember a Guard deployment was 2020 after George Floyd’s murder… and that came after thousands took to the streets in multiple neighborhoods, damaging businesses. Much larger scale than the last 48 hours.
