Hello. I live in Los Angeles. The president is lying.

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 National Guard has arrived in Los Angeles, but they were not requested by California. Both Governor Newsom and Mayor Bass made it clear that the state did not authorize or want federal troops deployed.

"two months later, authorities have yet to provide any evidence that the more than three dozen people they arrested that night have connections to the gang..." www.texastribune.org/2025/06/04/t...

You all are incredible. You’ve been collecting videos, photos, and detailed notes piecing together exactly what happened. The narrative this administration tried to push? You dismantled it in hours.

So carrying a Mexican flag during a peaceful protest will get you arrested but carrying a confederate flag during a deadly insurrection will get you a pardon. Got it.

Sending the National Guard to LA in response to ICE protests chills free speech, threatens due process, and undermines our democracy. Protest must be peaceful, but this isn’t law and order — it’s political intimidation.

To evaluate Terry Moran’s comment that Stephen Miller is “richly endowed with the capacity for hatred,” I recommend this oral history of his time at Santa Monica High School. lamag.com/politics/ste...

FOX calling Homeland Security ”the bad guys” on their livestream of deportation riots in LA June 7 2025.

Bingo

Atlantic City did not disappoint. Thank you to everyone who showed up to get the word out. We have three more days. Lets finish out strong!

"So here's the plan -- we impose massive tariffs on the nations that sell us food." "Hmm." "But it's OK, because we just rely more on states like California that grow a lot of the same things." "Oh, I guess that ..." "And then we go to war with California."

Vietnam War vet among crowd protesting VA cuts at Rapid City event rapidcityjournal.com/news/local/m... Please click through so our events keep getting covered! Small Note: article says ~20 attended. We counted 32. Photo cuts off some of the attendees. @50501veterans.bsky.social #50501southdakota

ICE arrested 36 Chinese & Taiwanese immigrants after raiding an LA nightclub. That's them, ziptied on the sidewalk. Yo Asians—if you weren't already outraged and mobilizing on behalf of others, guess what? That "First they came for the..." poem has gotten up to us. www.latimes.com/california/s...

Your oath is to the Constitution. The President violates the Constitution. If he orders you to violate the Constitution… Your oath remains to the Constitution.

Fox keeps proving there’s still more stupidity to come.

The only way to ban a citizen from wearing a mask in a public place is for The Fuhrer to declare martial law.

I thought I would be safe if I positioned myself with all the cable news crews off to the side away from all of the protesters. But nope. I was wrong. The feds shot pepper balls at us, forcing us down Alameda Street with everyone else. @lataco.bsky.social

Let's be clear what is going on: After Elon correctly confirmed that the Big Ugly Bill would put a bigger hole in the deficit, Stephen Miller incited a panic he wants to use to pass the bill as a promise to impose martial law on Dem cities and states. www.emptywheel.net/2025/06/08/t...

Immigration enforcement also hits Chinatown

One apparent reason why GOP legislators are getting cold feet about proof of citizenship laws for voter registration: They’re worried about disenfranchising their own voters, advocates say. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Deploying the military on U.S. soil as law enforcement against Americans was on page 555 of Project 2025. So don’t say “I didn’t vote for this,” because you did. This isn’t a response. This was always their plan.

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.

Reports and video show flash-bangs thrown into piles of debris just before a car caught fire, strongly suggesting it was law enforcement, not protesters, who sparked it. More details are coming. Don’t let them control the narrative. Thank you to everyone sharing footage, always record everything.

Whenever law enforcement agents are given a quota of a specific number of people to arrest or detain, especially with the WH policy director screaming at their superiors to hit those target numbers, bad things are going to happen. Quotas always result in civil rights violations.

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

This tweet alone warrants his impeachment and removal.

“No civil police force could hold out against an irate and resolute population. The trick is not to let them realize that.” - Terry Pratchett, Unseen Academicals

Never forget that the same man who called the January 6th insurrection a “beautiful day of love” and refused to lift a finger for 187 minutes to stop the horror unleashed on our Capitol has deployed the National Guard to intervene in Los Angeles to “address the lawlessness in California.”

oh you’re an ICE agent? do you have documentation to prove it? no? you’re under arrest

Bad shit happens when the military comes into to a volatile situation. This reminds me of a story from the 1992 riots in Los Angeles, to which some Marines deployed. I knew one of them and he told this story I also saw elsewhere — absent his telling it I would have assumed it was apocryphal. /1

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.

So do we get why I was banned from speaking about Pinochet at the Naval Academy now?

🚨BREAKING: A military Blackhawk helicopter is unloading dozens of boxes of weapons and ammunition in Los Angeles “as if they were getting ready for a major battle.”

PETE HEGSETH IS THREATENING TO SEND MARINES INTO LOS ANGELES. This is in direct violation of the 1878 Posse Comitatus Act. It is an illegal order! You can reach the Marine Inspector General Hotline at 1-866-243-3887. www-irishstar-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/www.iris...

What's happening tonight is anything but law and order. Don't be deceived.
