I am Marine Vet, stood the fence line in Cuba and fought in 2nd Gulf War. Traitor trump has no clue what an oath to the Constitution means. If you are a Marine in LA remember do not follow unlawful orders. If you do it is your ass. Stay true to your oath. Semper Fi

📌NOTE: Sending the Marines into ANY U.S. city would be the greatest, anti-American insult TO THE MARINES I have seen in my entire lifetime. 📌This is weak, disgusting and NOT THEIR MISSION. Be about time for retired Marines to start speaking up, because you KNOW you are better than this. -Navy guy

The Trump administration has no respect for federal workers and now, they're scrambling to fix a problem that they created. We deserve better than this reckless abandonment of public services that every community across America benefits from. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Repealing the ACA’s consumer protections & Medicaid subsidies would be bad, but it’s also true that Obamacare fortifying the power of insurance companies has been a disaster & none of the Abundance Guys who shit on the left for warning about this at the time have ever apologized.

🇺🇦✈️ A Ukrainian F-16 reportedly shot down a Russian Su-35 over Kursk Oblast. According to BILD, this marks the first confirmed air-to-air kill by a Ukrainian F-16. A Swedish Saab 340 AEW&C assisted by detecting the target and guiding an AIM-120 missile.

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.

(1/2) I condemn and oppose Trump’s illegal commandeering and deployment of the CA National Guard and his reported deployment of US Marines to Los Angeles. Trump is looking for excuses to deploy the military domestically, shut down political opposition, and cross the Rubicon into dictatorship.

Pope Leo XIV asks that God “open borders, break down walls + dispel hatred”. The church must open the borders between peoples and break down the barriers between class and race. People must move “beyond our fear of those who are different”. #USpol #AUSpol #UKpol www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

Let's not pretend Trump actually wants to help Los Angeles. Trump is deploying the military on American soil to stoke MORE conflict and MORE violence. Every Republican that remains silent is enabling him to trample over the constitutional rights of the American people.

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.

Whats happened in LA over the weekend is pathetic. Once again we see the commander in chief agitating and escalating shit. On another note, it doesn't seem like dems were "overreacting" when we said the fate of democracy depends on this election.

When I was in Colorado last week, I heard from veterans who told me they face an impossible choice at the VA: pay out of pocket for care they've earned or wait up to nine months to see a doctor. Our veterans deserve better. It's time for Congress to act.

The folks hollering about “family values” are out here tearing families apart with unlawful ICE raids, militarized police, & the weaponization of government. All while ripping away food & healthcare from working-class families. Are the family values in the room with us?

⬇️⬇️⬇️ Trump in 2020: “We can’t call in the National Guard unless we’re requested by a governor.” Trump in 2025: Sends in the National Guard over a governor’s clear objections. He knows the law—and he’s sidestepping it.

Trump’s ICE raids & detention of law-abiding asylum seekers have Angelenos scared right now. Trump wants to use this fear to spark unrest. We can’t meet Trump’s cruelty with chaos. Protests must stay peaceful & Trump must have the National Guard stand down, not fan the flames.
