not the main issue here but i'd really appreciate it if democratic politicians spoke out in support of big-city life and culture with the same energy and reverence that all politicians have for small towns los angeles is "real america" and so are all the other big cities the president hates

They are weak, they are cowards, and exerting every possible pressure against them is not only guaranteed to work - it is the only thing that will work. Never back down and never listen to the chorus of comfortable centrist cowards telling you to quiet down and submit.

"Trump knows full well that the midterms are coming. He is worried. ...So far, the results [of his actions] must be gratifying to him—and deeply ominous to anyone who hopes to preserve free and fair elections in the United States under this corrupt, authoritarian, and lawless presidency."

"When conservatives destroy these public goods, it doesn’t necessarily lead to a Democratic backlash at the ballot box, and they see this as a long-term investment in a more ignorant population reliant on sources of information they can control — a docile population that can be easily manipulated."

“This inital use of federal troops in a blue city should be understood as an effort to build pressure to help pass the bill. It should also be used as an example of the danger of passing the bill — the kind of authoritarianism that Miller intends to wield if the bill does pass.”

Karen Bass said "Everyone has the right to peacefully protest, but let me be clear: violence and destruction are unacceptable, and those responsible will be held accountable." It is detestable to put violence (which hurts people) on the same level as destruction (which harms stuff).

Politico has a piece claiming that the Musk Trump spat is about immigration. I think the analysis is wrong (it's far less rational than that), but I think it's a USEFUL wrong piece right now. Don’t Be Fooled: The Musk-Trump Blowup Is Really About Immigration www.politico.com/news/magazin...

Remember this iconic photo from Ferguson? This is Edward Crawford, throwing back a tear gas canister to protect some nearby kids. Like many identified Ferguson protesters and organizers, he was "found dead" a couple years later and neither the cops nor the media will ever investigate.

The most striking thing about the LA protests is how many people just dropped everything to show up and yell at federal agents. There are people in suits, and carrying dogs, and wearing flip flops or bike helmets. These are not people who planned to do this today. But there they are.

Trump is deploying the military on U.S. soil to crush the first amendment rights of citizens protesting his administration’s illegal abduction and trafficking, and detention of immigrants. This is the authoritarianism we warned about.

They are not picking up dangerous criminals, but the immigrants who were actually complying with the conditions of their presence in the US. And now, other immigrants have less and less reason to do so.
