Watching old 1980’s British murder mysteries and chuckling about how all the naff baddies look like:

Hypocrisy (n): the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one's own behavior does not conform

And he’s declaring emergencies that are not emergencies. A trade deficit with Lesotho it’s not an emergency.

Elon Musk's Trump tiff could be an opportunity for Democrats theweek.com/politics/tru... #DripDripDrip - then Trump wanted us to change the channel so he stoked a crisis in LA #UP

I am in downtown Los Angeles right now and it is completely surreal to hear that Trump is sending Marines here. We are listening to mariachi music. People have dogs. There are teenagers here. It is utterly and completely peaceful. Please tell your friends.

All teachers and school staff- it is time to start filming all visitors and releasing the footage to social media. Let their community & loved ones know they have chosen to join the gestapo.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

Cough, cough, don't worry... apple.news/AvGqZ592LQQi...

This administration needs to stop targeting international reporters, they’re the ones helping spread the truth. In multiple videos, officers are seen aiming directly at them, fully aware they’re members of the press. These so-called “non-lethal” rounds can absolutely be lethal.

Enough of the ICE raids that sweep up immigrants of every legal status. Enough of ignoring due process and the Constitution. Enough of tearing apart our families and communities. Trump’s lawlessness hurts all of us.

Trump isn't even giving the guardsmen food, shelter, or beds and he has you attacking Americans

Spanish film maker Pedro Almodóvar, while accepting the 50th annual Chaplin award.

Major General Randy E. Manner, former Acting Vice Chief, National Guard Bureau statement to Fox News: "This is an inappropriate use of the National Guard and is not warranted.”

He lied about everything and the GOP is in on it and fully complicit 😡

Basically, if you give your constituents access to jobs and education, they have more hope and less time to fight amongst themselves. Maybe sweep around your own front door before you complain about the dust on California’s porch, Maga Mike?

This is the fundamental point. Just speaking for myself, I didn’t leave Twitter to climb onto a high horse, I left because it had become completely unusable. What’s the point of being on X as a journalist if your work gets no reach and your feed is half full of bots spouting racist trite?

Trump has now mobilized 700 active-duty Marines to Los Angeles in response to protests against ICE raids there. Deploying the military against American citizens is a gross abuse of power that should alarm us all.

The regime is sending another 2k NG troops to LA. They can’t even house & feed the 30 already there. As Texas Paul says, BORE THEM! Protest peacefully, then go home, repeat. Let them & the world question why they’re there!

Democratic Governors call for fighting fascism and Constitutional rights. GOP Governors continue to kiss Trump’s capacious rear and flatter the man who refuses basic emergency aid to their people after disasters.

I live in Santa Monica where Waymo has several lots. Not only are these “wireless self driving” cars death traps waiting to happen when a local hacker gets bored? But it’s also cutting into the grocery money of a lot of uber drivers who need fares to cover their bills as the job market tanks.

PSA: If you think a guy standing on a vandalized Waymo car with a Mexican flag is a bigger issue than the president calling for the arrest of a governor for no reason, you may have lost the plot.

Holy shit…of course RFK Jr. just took this moment while everyone is focused on LA to fire all 17 members of the CDC's expert panel of vaccine advisers….citing conflicts of interest and will probably replace them with his raw milk drinking bootlickers www.cnn.com/2025/06/09/h...

Newsom: Just moments ago, they called up an additional 2,000 National Guard troops. So now it’s 4,000 total—of which only 300 have actually been operationalized. And guess what? Yesterday, LAPD had to use their already scarce resources to protect those National Guardsmen and women…

From someone who really knows!! A true American hero!!

Bass: If you want to go back in time, where was LA on Thursday? Fine, peaceful. Nothing was happening. The minute ICE rolled into town, that's when the chaos started and then add to that—bringing in federal troops.

If Trump plans something, it goes to sh@t. Campaign rallies in 100 degree+ weather with no cooling station? Short on porta potties. Unpaid venues. Calling on National Guard? You can tell he didn’t make any plans or use proper channels. Our National Guardsmen are called to sleep on floors.

Glad Glendale cancelled its agreement- but none of us here in Los Angeles will forget that they made the agreement in the first place.
