America’s keyboard warrior

I’m filing a lawsuit against President Trump after he signed illegal resolutions to target California’s clean air policies. Trump’s all-out assault on California continues, and this time he’s destroying our public health and America’s global competitiveness in the process.

Violent raids with no due process, snatching people off the streets, and kids being left at schools because their parents disappeared. I don’t know how any heart can’t be broken. This is Trump’s America.

Senator Alex Padilla is one of the most decent people I know. This is outrageous, dictatorial, and shameful. Trump and his shock troops are out of control. This must end now.

Yesterday, I met with a 12 year old boy in Oxnard, CA. His mom and dad have been fieldworkers for over 20 years. ICE agents snatched his parents from the fields and left this boy alone with no clue when he’ll see them again. A 6th grader.

California’s firefighting resources are already seeing cuts by the U.S. Forest Service, and now, Trump’s illegal military deployment threatens them even further. That’s why I’m launching a new CAL FIRE recruitment drive to ramp up efforts and keep our communities safe.

Every major Dem politician needs to realize that, in this environment, they can schedule a "speech to the nation," like Newsom did, and get tons of media coverage. Just do it.

A couple were driving along a country road, not speaking to each other after having had an argument. As they passed a farmyard full of pigs, chickens & a mule the man asked sarcastically, “Relatives of yours?" “You bet,“ his wife replied. “My in-laws."

After federal troops forced a fugitive slave named Anthony Burns back into slavery in the 1850s, one Bostonian wrote, “we went to bed one night old-fashioned, conservative, Compromise Union Whigs and waked up stark mad Abolitionists.” The abuse of power radicalizes people. We are seeing that now.

Senior officers of the United States military have an obligation to speak up and be leaders. Where is the Army chief of staff? Will he or others speak truth to the commander in chief and put a stop to the assault on the integrity of his troops? www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

The “states’ rights,” “don’t tread on me,” “fight tyranny” crowd is now cheering on authoritarian power grabs—from a guy who can’t even walk up a flight of stairs. If you care about the Constitution, you should care no matter who is in office.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem called Los Angeles a “city of criminals” and not a city of immigrants. But like its name, Los Angeles is a city of angels. We protect and look out for one another, especially the most vulnerable.

WATCH: Trump tells troops he’s restoring army bases to Confederate names — then they cheer as he says he’s going to “liberate” Los Angeles and they boo the governor, the “fake news”, etc. Politicizing the army. If you think things can’t get darker, watch these clips.

This is a previous post when Harris was clarifying what Trump meant by "the enemy from within" and she was right. Today, Gov. Newsom has file a motion to have Trump withdraw the military from LA..

Gov Newsom said he believes that things in LA are about to get much worse because he has learned that the Trump admin intends to “operationalize” the 4,000 Nat’l Guard troops that he has called up to work directly with ICE. “We’re on the other side now, the red line,” Newsom said.

For the record, it is not legal for the U.S. President to deploy U.S. Marines or other active-duty military forces on U.S. soil for law enforcement purposes. #AuthoritarianTrump

submitted 4 days ago • 70 comments

Just a reminder that U.S. military personnel, whether in the National Guards or the Marines, are not trained for law enforcement. They are trained to kill, they are remarkably effective at it, and that is why there are such strict legal prohibitions on deploying military inside the United States.

There were a few hundred people protesting the ICE actions in California today. Most probably lived in the neighborhood that had been raided by armed, uniformed men who looked like soldiers and not police. The idea that the response to this 2,000 National Guard is fucking insane.

I truly believe part of the reason this is happening in LA right now is because they want to scare us into not protesting for no Kings day. DT is actually worried he’s gonna lose the news cycle so he wants to make sure everyone is too scared. 1/2

ACLU Statement: "[T]he Trump administration is putting Angelenos in danger, creating legal and ethical jeopardy for troops, and recklessly undermining our foundational democratic principle that the military should not police civilians." "unnecessary, inflammatory, and an abuse of power"

The federal government is moving to take over the California National Guard and deploy 2,000 soldiers. That move is purposefully inflammatory and will only escalate tensions.

Miller’s tweet doesn’t just foreshadow invocation of the Insurrection Act, it reveals the regime’s monarchical designs. Trump is not our sovereign. It is we, the people, who are sovereign.

People in ICE detention are being denied health care and adequate nutrition, often given spoiled food or nothing at all. Our government’s cruelty to immigrants is a moral failing — not a policy solution.
