So it begins. Discussions are underway within the administration, and Pentagon, about deploying National Guard or active-duty troops to cities beyond Los Angeles. We’ll be sending updated guidance to all coalition members. Please follow every step, even if some sections seem irrelevant right now.

Gavin Newsom and his team are doing a good job at social media. Using comebacks and memes to just straight up murder muffukahs. Pay attention, Dems. This is how it’s done.

Pam Bondi doesn't answer questions about what the legal threshold is for the administration invoking the Insurrection Act

honestly one of the most encouraging recent developments is the naked opportunism of Governor Gavin Newsom, and I pray that there are copycats www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

Dystopian.

I’m hearing rumors that thousands of people are calling the ICE tip line to report little green men and other aliens from outer space. That’s not why ICE set up this number, so you should absolutely NOT call that tip line to report those types of aliens. 👽 I repeat—do NOT call the below number! ☎️

That's why he lost in a landslide 🙄🙄🙄

So proud of Seattle Police Chief Shon Barnes who refuses to cooperate with ICE or Federal immigration, vows to protect Seattleites’ 1st Amendment rights. “I will probably go to jail” he says, because Trump has threatened to jail politicians who oppose him #NoKings mynorthwest.com/local/seattl...

I am proud of my city today.

This is how you normalize authoritarianism.

We should keep our foot on Gavin’s neck about all his bad governing but I will also enjoy him talking to republicans the way all democrat politicians should

Great scoop from @annamerlan.bsky.social! Head of RFK Jr.-tied MAHA group is a raving antisemite and 9/11 conspiracy-monger.

#ProudBlue A woman was trying to get to her apartment, yet the street was blocked by LAPD. If not for Alexandria (@labyrinthlore on Tiktok), would we have known? Non-lethal does not mean it's not lethal. The rubber bullets are meant to be aimed at the feet!

Nothing says law and order like publicly fantasizing about 18th-century mob violence.

as a result of your generosity in contributing to the tomhomanisabitch fund, i've donated a total of $500 to two NY-based groups doing critical work to protect our immigrant family, friends and neighbors. thanks to @maketheroadny.bsky.social and @thenyic.bsky.social for all you do.

🚨 BREAKING: Kristi Noem asked Pete Hegseth to go beyond Trump’s orders and have the military arrest protesters in LA to protect ICE agents. Not just deploy troops, arrest civilians. This came out in a leaked letter. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

The only laws in America now are the ones in the lunatics head. www.reddit.com/r/ICE_Raids/...

👀

Pete Hegseth told Congress the military’s new “warrior ethos” is focused on “war fighting” and “lethality.” I'm worried about what's going to happen when Trump orders Marines to kill citizens for defying him. #ProudBlue #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice #TrumpIsANationalDisgrace Los Angeles Protests

🌮 Trump always chickens out🌮 misses half the story. He flails, yes. But he also leaves landmines. Thirty percent tariffs on China didn’t disappear—they hardened into policy.

Idk man but when the administration that tried to reject humanitarian aid for Los Angeles when it was burning tries to justify their illegal military occupation by saying they aren’t going to let LA burn it kinda sounds like bullshit

“In this article, I argue that we are totally fucked. In so doing, I fill a scholarly gap in the discourse around how fucked we are. My novel insight is that the fuckedness is largely behind comprehension.”

In Dallas, this brave soldier protested against ICE, voicing strong opposition to the erosion of constitutional rights. & Trump’s deployment of Marines to Los Angeles. She emphasized, “We refuse to be used to undermine constitutional freedoms.” Take hope: if there’s one, there are more.

More performative BS from Pam Bondi. January 6th is NOT the LA protests. Don’t let her lies stand without pushback.

Wow. Watch this from Zohran Mamdani. It looks like the exact "fight" and "conviction" people are hopelessly asking for from the people in charge of the Democratic party:

People calling for police chiefs and military leaders to do more to stop Trump forget who will benefit the most from Trump succeeding.

The planning for the No Kings protest began when Trump started touting his “dictator-style birthday parade." “We didn’t want to cede the narrative to him; we didn’t want to allow him to portray himself as all-powerful.” More: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Trump’s economic team now says he’ll extend the pause on his own tariffs. So we’re governing by 90-day bluff cycles now? What a joke.

Oh, that’s OK, Elon! No harm done. Well, except for Donald sending ICE and the National Guard into Los Angeles to arrest and shoot citizens just to provide a distraction from you calling him a pedophile. Other than that, no big deal, you tiresome twit.

I cannot stress enough how much the anti-ICE protests are an overwhelming win for Democrats on social media. I’m seeing Instagram influencers who stayed silent on politics for the past year loudly sharing support for immigrants. I’m seeing podcasters who interviewed Trump talk about how wrong ICE is

Kardashian was doing videos with Cybertrucks and Optimus robots as recently as March. Musk’s anti-immigrant rhetoric was among the most vile things to come out of 2024. I dare say she’s not being sincere. Or she’s just an idiot.

Turns out the "illegal" pregnant woman was a US citizen, and she's since been hospitalized.
