As the military starts participating in mass removal campaigns, remember that soon the Senate will vote on a spending bill that will heap $150B into Trump's deportation machine so he can scale up.. fast. Includes $45B for detention centers with additional funding for tens of thousands of new agents.

Agreed

Oopsie

Oh.

Behold the post-apocalyptic wasteland that is Downtown Los Angeles on the evening of June 9, 2025 (this is not to minimize the protests, or the horrific response to the protests - just to put the "OMG Los Angeles is on fire!" bullshit into perspective)

Newsom: "Democracy is under assault before our eyes. This moment we have feared has arrived. He's taking a wrecking ball to our Founding Father's historic project."

Navarro: I'm very happy to see somebody that isn't afraid to speak up and call an authoritarian an authoritarian. And if it's Newsom, as a result of what's happening in California now, I welcome it because I have been so thirsty for somebody that is not cowardly

How many people died in LA? President says “ lots of Death” in his imaginary phone call 😂😂

Oh,

Absolutely right.

This is actually perfect. The emptiness makes it look as ridiculous and wasteful as it is.

Well this is awkward

California Assemblyman Isaac Bryan says the National Guard is blocking people from attending their immigration court hearings. But if they don’t attend their hearings, they are flagged for removal.

The Mayor of LA has issued a curfew tonight — not because the citizens are out of control BUT BECAUSE THE PRESIDENT IS.

The Mayor has imposed a curfew on DTLA tonight. For those who whom might not understand the geography of this city, or the scope of this “violence”… The curfew boundary is *literally* across the street from me… …and I haven’t seen a single ANYTHING. LA IS NOT RIOTING

$45 million for this bullshit parade for Trump. I don't ever want to hear a fucking Republican tell me we don't have money to make sure every American has good health care. Give me a break.

A total outrage. A judge needs to dismiss this at the first opportunity. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Christy Walton, literal billionaire Walmart heir, just paid for a full-page NYT ad warning “No Kings” and calling America to mobilize. Do you know how bad things have to be when the class Trump caters to says “enough” and puts it in print?

The big crypto markup is still going on in the House Financial Services Committee. Rs are blocking any effort to block Trump from profiting off of crypto while in office.

It is completely necessary to support Newsom as a governor fighting an authoritarian president and keep in mind that he has shown himself with incredible clarity to be an individual unworthy of trust who broke the sound barrier in normalizing authoritarianism for personal gain.

This protest movement is going to spread. People are going to need to get comfortable with discomfort. There are going to be inconveniences. There are going to be tense moments. There’s going to be violence. None of this is easy. We didn’t ask for this fight but the fight is here.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

CA Gov. Gavin Newsom: This is about all of us. This is about you. California may be first, but it clearly will not end here. Other states are next. Democracy is next."

BREAKING: California Governor Gavin Newsom delivers a 'major address' in response to the Trump admin.'s actions in L.A. "Authoritarian regimes begin by targeting people who are least able to defend themselves, but they do not stop there," Newsom said.

Newsom: This Saturday, he's ordering our American heroes, the United States military, and forcing them to put on a vulgar display to celebrate his birthday, just as other failed dictators have done in the past

chemical warfare

He said he wanted to be a dictator This is the essence of dictatorship Meeting peaceful protest with military force

WASHINGTON (AP) — Mikie Sherrill wins Democratic nomination for governor in New Jersey primary election.

Latinas for Trump co-founder blasts ‘inhumane’ immigrant arrests. Serious question: What did they think the ‘Mass Deportation Now,’ placards at the RNC Convention meant?

The Mooch says Trump is really scared of Putin. “But the flip side is, while I’m saying that to you, I believe there is kompromat on Donald Trump. I don’t know what it is. We all used to say, ‘OK, what is it? What is the hold that Vladimir Putin has on this guy?’ www.rawstory.com/trump-musk-p...

What happened when the U.S. forcibly sent 400,000 Mexican workers back to Mexico in the 1930s? The employment rate of native workers *went down* noticeably as a direct result. (You read that correctly) Why? Forced repatriation destroyed low-skill markets. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

The Declaration of Independence specifies 27 grievances with King George III, and I count at least 15 of them that Donald Trump has also committed in whole or in part. Particularly notable right now: "He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures."

The White House Communications Director reacts to the news that Terry Moran has been pushed out at ABC News. “Talk shit, get hit.”

"They're not trained for this": Retired general warns mobilizing Marines in L.A. could backfire

Outrageous. The #Trump administration should be spending that type of money to help Los Angeles recover from the January wildfires -- instead of working to start new fires. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

BREAKING: The enforcement chief at America’s consumer watchdog is quitting, ProPublica has learned. Cara Petersen writes in her sign-off letter that it’s “clear that the Bureau’s current leadership has no intention to enforce the law in any meaningful way.” 🧵 1/

<thread> Hegseth expands Guard's orders dramatically today Declaration by California Military Department (CMD) Deputy GC: "CMD was informed ... Guard units would be providing support for counter-immigration operations across Los Angeles, in communities during immigration enforcement operations..."

Trump addressing LA at Fort Bragg: Calls it a foreign invasion

Not a single pipe bomb. No bear spray. No zip ties, no handcuffs, no makeshift gallows. Just chants and cardboard signs in L.A. — yet the right dares call this an “insurrection,” while still labeling Jan 6 a “day of love”?
