Getting old AF. Life-long liberal. Left US for 7 years while Reagan was pretending to be president. Fond of trees, waterfalls and decent people.

Trump will try to provoke violence. Keep protests peaceful. Look out for instigators.

“Governors are the Commanders in Chief of their National Guard and the federal government activating them in their own borders without consulting or working with a state’s governor is ineffective and dangerous.” And per California it’s also illegal: www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Wow — @RepMarkGreen announces his retirement from Congress (again) “I was offered an opportunity in the private sector too exciting to pass up.” — Greed Over People, always. He’ll stick around just to push the budget (that harms his voters) through. markgreen.house.gov/2025/6/rep-m...

Padilla: When you have the DHS using cruel and aggressive tactics for immigration enforcement, of course, in a community as diverse as Los Angeles, you’re going to have people speaking up in defense of our fundamental rights and due process—rights the Trump administration has consistently ignored.

Hey, how are those States’ rights people feeling about the President overriding the authority of the most populous state?

Good evening everyone

Trump made the troops homeless. Incredible work, sir

If the media covered Trump’s age the way it covered Biden

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is a clear and present danger to every person in the United States, and in fact in entire world. He must be REMOVED FROM OFFICE IMMEDIATELY.

JUST IN: Health Secretary RFK Jr. has removed all 17 members of the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices. He says replacing them with new members will help restore 'public trust' in vaccines.

If what was happening in LA was such a “national emergency”, why was the “president” in NJ smiling for the cameras at a UFC fight?

Trump went full Col. Jessup for this 😂

"We don't need the fucking Marines @jesscraven101.bsky.social Now from downtown L A. It's peaceful It's their right under the first Amendment "People have their dogs with them " No looting No violence Thank you so much Jess Be peaceful Be safe We Stand with Los Angeles

Lots of folks are expressing dismay over having to cheer on Gavin Newsom. So remember: We are loyal to the policy, not the politician. Oppose those who do the wrong thing, even when they are otherwise good people. Support those who do the right thing, even when they are loathsome shit weasels.

This is a reasonable suggestion. Anyone who wants to be a Democratic leader should be willing to be in LA now. And I don’t mean with a TV crew, or behind a lectern, or giving interviews, but simply to stand with the community and engage in congressional fact-finding. And to tell any reporter that.

Everything’s an “insurrection” to Pinocchiogles

#ProudBlue This is what is happening in LA right now. We don’t need help. We don’t want the Marines or National Guard. Our city & state are fine!!! GET OUT! @jesscraven101.bsky.social video credit

A full Tejano band in a big truck rolled into the Olvera St, the lead singer has a Fuck ICE shirt on, and this protest is now a dance party

#ProudBlue F47 is instigating the LA riots. Between his rhetoric on his social media, sending in the National Guard and Marines without being asked, he's calling the peaceful protesters "insurrectionists." We know who started an insurrection. Why is the president calling for violence? January 6th?

Let’s make sure everyone in this country & around the world knows EXACTLY what’s happening in LA, & likely what will start happening elsewhere! LE, the regime & MSM are pushing false narratives! The majority of people are protesting peacefully! All of us need to “flood the zone” with the TRUTH!

📌NOTE: Sending the Marines into ANY U.S. city would be the greatest, anti-American insult TO THE MARINES I have seen in my entire lifetime. 📌This is weak, disgusting and NOT THEIR MISSION. Be about time for retired Marines to start speaking up, because you KNOW you are better than this. -Navy guy

It’s no exaggeration to say that the president of the United States is goading the residents of LA into a violent confrontation, creating the sort of chaos that would justify a massacre, writes @sashaabramsky.bsky.social. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

This is what patriotism looks like - marching toward the Capitol with pride, purpose, and the promise of liberty for all.

Just more HYPOCRISY from the right…👇 Nothing more. Enjoy. 😎✨

DEVELOPING: No warning. No reason. NYPD officers rushed into the crowd and tackled a protester this weekend. His body was limp. He couldn’t move. He said, “I can’t feel my legs.” He might never walk again. For showing up. This is brutality. This is America.
