This is Donald Trump weaponizing the federal government to terrorize communities. I stand in solidarity with people of good conscience peacefully standing up to protect their neighbors.

You know when things were pretty quiet and peaceful in L.A.? Before ICE started arresting residents who were bothering no one and going to their jobs. And before DHS and National Guard troops showed up and made the situation worse. Of course Trump and Stephen Miller want the situation to get worse.

How extreme is the June 7 Memorandum on federalizing the National Guard? One of several issues: It has NO geographic limit. None. No mention of California or any other state. It's open-ended. Now this from President Trump: "Well, we're going to have troops everywhere."⬇️

There is no mass-deportation campaign going on right now. Deportation is a process. This is kidnapping and human trafficking.

it's absolutely important to couch every statement from this guy in the context that he hired a person based solely on the credential that the guy strangled one of my neighbors to death. no background in software or finance, just murder.

No one should be using the term "less lethal" when referring to the missiles and projectiles shot at protesters unless you are content doing PR for cops.

This is part of what drives me nuts about the trajectory of the abundance conversation. It is entirely intuitive to link a major building and infrastructure program with a sort of left-populist, antifascist politics. It’s actually necessary! Also, FDR did it already!

One argument I tried to make to centrist, right-leaning folks during 2024 was that if you really hate street protest and unrest and chaos, then you should absolutely not vote for Donald Trump, because he 100% guarantees more.

Democrats reinforce this problem when they talk about their agreement with “deporting violent criminals” instead of emphasizing what is actually happening.

Trump has federalized at least 2,000 National Guard forces and reportedly plans to deploy troops to Los Angeles over Governor Newsom’s objections. If that happens, it will be the first time since 1965 that a president has sent troops into a state without a state request. 1/19

Seeing a massive divide online between Angelenos of all political stripes who understand that the protests in LA yesterday were mostly peaceful and any violence was ICE-initiated and East Coast establishment liberals lecturing “the left” on how riots just amplify right wing talking points.

kind of just endlessly sad and grieving that there are so few voices in the public sphere making the basic principled argument that immigration is an affirmative good in every way and the best way for this country to serve humanity is to welcome people who want or need to leave their homes

“But if people don't think it is dangerous criminals who are the focus of the deportation effort, support drops dramatically. The survey was completed just prior to Saturday's protests and events in Los Angeles.”

I'm not sure Democratic elected officials should even be admonishing demonstrators. They don't have any real relationship to the party. They're not like heading to the DNC in 2028. They're not precinct captains. I suspect these admonishments just reenforce Republican frames.

what strikes me about stephen miller's presidential memorandum is the utterly Fox News-esque way in which "rebellion" is used to describe events that are nothing of the sort. indeed, "Fox News-esque" is probably too soft. it's deranged, paranoid fantasy.

For some reason, I was just thinking about how Trump’s former chief of staff tried to warn us right before the election that Trump was a fascist who wanted to rule us like a dictator … and the New York Times put that story on page A12
