the government is intentionally manufacturing the conditions for violence against its own citizens, grim stuff

Governor Pritzker, Chicago will be next, be prepared. All blue states should come up with a game plan NOW. Backing down is not an option.

Here's the Washington Examiner piece that first quoted Stephen Miller ordering ICE to invade Home Deport a few weeks ago. This makes it clear that Miller himself ordered the escalation that has led to conflict in LA. www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/white-h...

The worst-kept secret in Washington is that Vought, from day one, was pulling the marionette strings at DOGE. Deploying DOGE’s team of tech saboteurs—those hoodied 24-year-olds—was Musk’s chief contribution. https://trib.al/h6Z0OHY

@corybooker.com @booker.senate.gov @aoc.bsky.social @vanhollen.senate.gov @sanders.senate.gov @raskin.house.gov @alsobrooks.senate.gov @kamalaharris.com @barackobama.bsky.social You all need to channel John Lewis and get to LA and stand with the brave folks there. It’ll be Kent State 2. #goodtrouble

Big point that is being missed: without the insurrection act, the activated Guard troops are now federal army and cannot Do law enforcement. Period

Wednesday morning in the Second Circuit Court of Appeals: Trump tries to transfer the NY criminal case that earned him 34 convictions to federal court. That and more in "Rising This Week" for @AllRiseNews.com www.allrisenews.com/p/trump-crim...

How about instead of protesters being forced to show their faces, ICE agents have to show ID

🚩Governor Newsom deployed CHP officers to “maintain safety on Los Angeles highways to keep the peace.” “It’s not (the CHP’s) job to assist in federal immigration enforcement,” Newsom said. “The fed govt is sowing chaos so they can have an excuse to escalate. #HelterSkelterTrumpsAmerica

“Tasted a little tear gas— tasted like fascism”

I don’t think people should engage in violence and vandalism and I don’t think federal agents should provoke people to engage in violence and vandalism. Too many law enforcement officers sworn to protect and serve now look and act like they are in Fallujah.

Bernie Sanders: "We have a president who is moving this country rapidly toward authoritarianism...to a large degree the future of this country rests with a small number of Republicans in the House & Senate who know better, who do know what the Constitution is about, and it's high time they stood up"

The military isn’t being employed to carry out an immigration policy. The immigration policy, and especially the way the administration is choosing to carry it out, is an excuse to call out the military.

It’s helpful to always keep in mind that Trump is a fucking idiot.

Instead of working tirelessly to take away our Medicare Medicaid and Social Security, shouldn’t Congress be investigating why the President gave a “big time drug addict” the keys to the US government?

When the LA police says you are overreaching, you are overreaching.

Now, if Trump invokes the insurrection act then we’re in a whole new world and it won’t end well for Trump

If you are National Guard or Active Duty military and you are being ordered to violate the constitutional rights of US citizens then this is the number to the GI Rights Hotline. There is support. You don’t have to go through with it. 877-447-4487

This isn’t even remotely legal what he is doing.

Sen Bernie Sanders (I-VA) just now on CNN: "We have a President moving this country rapidly into authoritarianism. He's suing media who criticize him. He's going after law firms that have clients who were against him. He's suing universities who teach courses he doesn't like"

The Los Angeles Police Department has stated that demonstrations in the city have remained peaceful. Let that sink in.

We could have had her, America.

Ben Schrader’s resignation is a massive red flag: a respected career prosecutor just walked away rather than participate in what many now see as a dangerous abuse of the justice system. The case against Kilmar Abrego Garcia has become the whim of a power-drunk political machine.

The Cat Revolution Has Begun! 🐾 Cats aren’t just pets—they’re our little heroes. But many of them suffer from hunger, illness, and homelessness. Together, we can change that. Every donation on Ko-fi helps provide food, medicine, and safe shelter for these brave little fighters….👇🌷

Cost to the US taxpayers of Trump's mass deportations and concentration camp building spree: $1.4 trillion. Benefits: none whatsoever. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

He’s illegitimate using the stolen law there’s a difference

Fake emergencies to justify crackdowns-not very original

Here's a really exceptional example of how much disinformation data mules like @yasharali.bsky.social spread when they choose to lazily disseminate Trump's Truth Social posts.

ICE rolls in, LA rises up.🔥 If Stephen Miller was looking for immigrants to roll over and just take it from his ICE goons, he picked the wrong f*cking town. Between yesterday in LA City and Paramount today, the community is fighting back.

mein fuehrer.... steiner.... steiner's CA guard troops are stuck on the I-5, we are going to lose the home depot

This is a vitally important point to remember. Big force displays often reveal deep weaknesses—and a profound self-awareness of them.

Trump and his fascist Republicans create fake emergencies to hide the real emergency — their plot to steal our freedom.

Jefffey Epstein’s best client and wingman is turning the National Guard on peaceful America protesters.

Fuck him and fuck ICE

“.. It's the first time since 1965 — when President Lyndon B. Johnson sent forces to Alabama to guard civil rights demonstrators — that a president has mobilized a state's National Guard without the governor's request ..” @axios.com www.axios.com/newsletters/...

The hypocrisy… “Also, from now on, MASKS WILL NOT BE ALLOWED to be worn at protests. What do these people have to hide, and why???“ -Trump

This is an ominous step toward martial law. The time for mobilizing peacefully but massively against this dangerous progression is NOW. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/07/u...

The Trump administration's baseless deployment of the National Guard is plainly retaliation against California, a stronghold for immigrant communities, and is akin to a declaration of war on all Californians.

With the $45 million being spent on the president's parade here’s what that money could do for veterans instead: House 3k veterans for an entire year in transitional housing Provide full PTSD treatment for 3.75k veterans for a year Deliver job training to 9k veterans through 12-week programs

Oh, Canada.

What country is this?
