In 2020, Trump wanted to use lethal force on protesters. Defense Secretary Mark Esper stopped him. Now, as Los Angeles rises up against ICE, Pete Hegseth leads the Pentagon. This is the scenario many warned about: a president surrounded by yes-men, with no one left to offer restraint.

ALL THE PROTESTS IN LA HAVE BEEN PEACEFUL. PLEASE DO NOT IMPLY OTHERWISE. Only the robocop brigade is inciting violence, being violent, using teargas, etc. Also, reminder: Homan and others have "deputized" god knows who as part of their deployment. Many of these "officers" look out of control.

The federal government is taking over the California National Guard and deploying 2,000 soldiers in Los Angeles — not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle. Don't give them one. Never use violence. Speak out peacefully.

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple. Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

"What they want is for people to look at who's rich, who’s important & say, 'That’s just the way things are. That’s the way they're supposed to be.' They don’t want people looking back at the past & saying, “This is because of slavery or Jim Crow or because women were excluded from the workforce.'”

Meiselas: As we wrote on the MeidasTouch account—Trump lit the match, poured the gasoline, and now wants to use the blaze he created as a pretext to burn it all down.

This is straight up #Fascism. People have a right to protest, and they are trying to protect innocent people. This is exactly what Trump wants. There are more of us than them.

1/ If accurate, this is almost certainly a conflict with the Posse Comitatus Act, which prohibits the use of the military for domestic law enforcement, including the National Guard if they are federalized.

Here's a tricky one. The online far-right absolutely can't remain silent at this moment. Like a shark, they have to keep posting or they'll die. And since they're getting paid to post, all the more so. But they can't risk really offending either party. So how to square the circle... I got it!

It’s not about the ships. It’s about reshaping American identity, weaponizing patriotism & deciding whose legacy gets to sail under the flag. We’re watching a purge, not just of people, but of the values they stood for. This is what happens when bigotry gets dressed up as “strength.”

Boyle: "This is really the breaking news ... because of the size of the deficits, because of the paygo act, that would trigger sequestration of Medicare, and it would total over $500 billion. The official figure that CBO confirms is $535 billion in cuts to Medicare."

Yes, the GOP budget guts Medicaid, SNAP and gives more tax breaks to the mega-rich — but it also: - Lets Big Oil buy public land to drill - 10 year ban on state AI regulations - Tax break on gun silencers - Restricts funding to nonprofits - Defunds women's health organizations
