"I voted for lawless, anonymous, masked, and unchecked police" is one hell of a jump from "eggs cost too much."

When President Johnson activated the Nat'l Guard in Alabama in 1965 over Gov. Wallace's objection he did it to protect protesters advocating for voting rights for Black people who had previously met violence at the hands of state troopers. Very different situation.

3.821 million reside in Los Angeles. 430,000 citizen-soldiers who serve part-time while maintaining civilian lives. There are approximately 8.84 L.A. residents for every 1 national guardsmen nationwide. This has the potential to get ugly...fast. That's what... 1/2

To anyone who wondered, what could go wrong if we elected as president a highly volatile, deeply dishonest, simple-minded cretin with a revenge fetish, the answer is THIS. All of THIS.

Senator Ted Cruz posted a dramatic video of LAPD cars on fire with the caption “this… is… not… peaceful.” What he didn’t mention? The footage was from 2020, not 2025. His post on X falsely implied it was current, part of a broader effort to spread lies and manufacture a crisis.

Everyone should say it: The thing about Stephen Miller is not that he is the brains behind Trumpism. Yes, he is one of the people who conceptualizes the impulses of the Trumpist movement and translates them into policy. But that's not what's interesting about Miller. It's not brains. It's bile.

Musk may be more addicted to posting than he is to ketamine—so Democrats are understandably giddy about the battle royale happening. Let him cause as much damage to Trump as possible, and then stay as far away from him as possible, forever. https://trib.al/33tq4jN

"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.'”

Don't miss that the President of the United States is saying he thinks the situation in LA is now under control with existing forces.⬇️ That means there's no legal or policy basis to actually federalize (read: politicize) the National Guard.

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.

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.

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.

ICE agents or bounty hunters? A raid at Home Depot on Wilshire in Los Angeles earlier today. What’s disturbing is that they’re wearing masks and vests you could buy on Amazon. They’re in unmarked cars, and I don’t see any IDs on the officers — regular SUVs with standard plates.

ICE is the January 6 insurrectionists all over again. Only instead of attacking law enforcement, they are pretending to be law enforcement. And instead of just terrorizing at the Capitol, they are doing it EVERYWHERE.
