Newsom: The personnel currently being deployed are being sent here for this theater of absurdity, that were working on fentanyl interdiction and task force operations—our rattlesnake crews, all of these extraordinary efforts that can no longer be done, or at least are being disrupted

“Trump is using military forces to stop a protest — I want y'all to consider what kind of government it appears to be when every time we exercise our democratic right to protest, the military is deployed against us.” Doechii at the #BETAwards

Newsom: This is a national order. We’re talking about you and your state, your own backyard, all depending on the whim of a president who’s unhinged. Depending on how he’s feeling on a particular day, or who’s offended him because he didn’t like what they said on a Fox News clip.

Newsom: I told the president, just get it over with. Arrest me. Move on. If you need someone’s head to scalp, then do it with me. But stop messing with these kids. Stop messing with four-year-olds. Kids in elementary school

Meiselas: What I find interesting, though, is—he’ll be a keyboard warrior. He’ll say “New-scum this,” “New-scum that.” But when you’re face-to-face with him, when the cameras are on and you’re there together, he becomes a different person. Newsom: Weakness masquerading as strength.

Meiselas: Trump earlier today echoed what his border czar, Tom Homan, said—that they want you arrested. Newsom: Was that said by Erdoğan? Who was that said by? Was that some dictator? Some authoritarian from the history books? No—that was said by the president of the United States.

ICE raided Los Angeles elementary schools in an attempt to kidnap small children. They hid their identities, claimed they weren't ICE, and lied to school authorities that they had "permission" from the parents to take the children out. School officials luckily didn't fall for it.

Jeffries: "We will not be lectured by Donald Trump and anyone in the Republican Party about issues of law and order ... he pardoned hundreds of violent felons, criminals, who brutally assaulted police officers and attacked the Capitol on January 6. That's what Donald Trump did on day one."

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…

A judge set David Huerta free today after ICE attacked, injured, and unjustly detained him for standing up for immigrant workers. But this fight isn’t over. Thousands are still detained. We won’t stop until ALL our people are free. #FreeDavidEndRaids seiuca.org/press-releas...

LA: Your voice matters. Trump is trying to provoke chaos by sending 4,000 soldiers onto American soil. Foolish agitators who take advantage of Trump’s chaos will be held accountable. Stay safe. Stay calm. Look out for one another.

Trump sent the Guard to scare us. This man walked right up and spoke for a nation. This is what power looks like when it speaks. No violence, peaceful protest. ✊🏼 #NoKings #WeThePeople

Marine veterans are speaking out against the troop deployment in Los Angeles. Across the country, they’re taking down their American flags that have flown in front of their homes for years. Remember, we have friends everywhere.
