If you live in a GOP district in CA, start calling your Rep about how Trump's Big Ugly Bill aims to invade California, and they MUST vote against giving up CA's sovereignty bc Stephen Miller ordered the invasion of Home Depot.

Spread it

Big point that is being missed: without the insurrection act, the activated Guard troops are now federal army and cannot Do law enforcement. Period

Protests against federal ICE sweeps erupted in LA this weekend, now the president wants to bring in the National Guard. @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social joins me at 10a ET after his exclusive interview with White House Border Czar Tom Homan who wants to rid CA of "national security threats." #Velshi

They brutalized David Huerta, President of SEIU California — just for witnessing. This is Day 4 of the National Strike. The people demand justice, not tyranny. No Marines. No National Guard. ICE out of LA. #NationalStrike #LaborRights #SEIU

Seems important

Hegseth accused of 'straining at the leash' with threat to send Marines to LA www.rawstory.com/hegseth-la-p...

In Europe this morning, analysts are agreed that the next major elements of a fascist state are now being wheeled into place in the US: will military forces be deployed against civilian protesters? It's clear that Trump wants to do this. Before the DOD said "no." Now Pete Hegseth is SecDef.

Just like in the parks, safety comes first. - Stay with your group - Follow the signs (or in this case, the facts) - Leave no one behind - Document everything - Don’t engage alone

Unbelievable — but this is California right now. Trump is deploying the National Guard to Los Angeles. Pete Hegseth is threatening to send active-duty Marines into the state. This is pure authoritarianism. Trump is turning America into a fascist state.

Do not obey in advance. You can do this. You are smart, brave, you have a heart. Do the right thing even if it’s the hard scary thing. You can do it. Have faith.

Good night America. A special dedication to Los Angeles. #RadioFreeAmerica youtu.be/Xv8FBjo1Y8I?...

ICE is using shipping containers to store people at a US military base in East Africa where daily temperatures are over 100 degrees Fahrenheit. This is obviously a human rights violation.

Abolish ICE

Deranged is a good descriptor

Former Afghan soldier arrested at Houston-area home by ICE, stripped of asylum protections “It’s very concerning that ICE is targeting people who actually put their lives on the line for U.S. service members," Zakaria said. www.houstonpublicmedia.org/articles/new...

This is police and ICE brutality and we cannot sit back and just let it happen. Not in Los Angeles.

VETERAN: “This is why they can’t wear masks. Because people like this exist… if you want to snatch people off the streets, do it in uniform, and show your damn face.” (@MarshaBlackburn’s Secret Police bill criminalizes transparency and threatens 5 years for naming an ICE agent)

By the way a military parade when we’re not celebrating a war victory is something a dude who never served would do.

The blowup between Elon and Trump hasn’t ended DOGE, it’s still expanding. Russ Vought now plans to institutionalize DOGE across the federal government, and Elon’s staffers are embedded deep within key agencies.

Trump called musk a big time drug addict, and told JD Vance to be cautious about how he spoke publicly. Ted Cruz is scared. The loss in Wisconsin was the tipping point. Musk begged Trump to reverse tariffs. Musk and Bessent got into a physical fight over DOGE failures. Gift link: wapo.st/3TeoIxy

The Chief of the Criminal Division at the US Attorney’s Office/Middle District of Tennessee RESIGNED the same day the Acting US Attorney signed the indictment of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. He writes: “do the right thing, in the right way, for the right reasons.” There are no coincidences.

Law Professor @rgoodlaw.bsky.social catches DOJ in a contradiction in the Abrego Garcia case. A major one.

Good

You've just employed a 22 year old gardener as your anti terrorist chief and you want NATO to share military intel with you on signal?

via Wild Bird Scoop

Wow. What a sign that criminal case against Abrego Garcia may be politically cooked up. "Schrader’s resignation was prompted by concerns that the case was being pursued for political reasons" Schrader spent 15 years in the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Nashville and was chief of the criminal division

This is fascism. Being punished for who you associate with.

Pretty sure this should tell you all you need to know about the veracity of the DOJ's charges against Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

WHAT???

Federal employees can and should be allowed to critique the government they work for without fearing for their jobs.

On D-Day eve, never forget when an American D-Day veteran showed praise and appreciation to Ukrainian President Zelenskyy last year, with Zelenskyy praising him back for his role in one of the most significant events in history, an event that was instrumental in saving the world. 🇺🇸🇺🇦🪖. #DDay

From the beginning, this case has made one thing painfully clear: The government had the power to bring him back at any time. Instead, they chose to play games with the court and with a man's life. abcnews.go.com/US/mistakenl...

This your Secretary of Education?

NPR speaks with a British orthopedic surgeon who just returned from his fourth medical mission to Gaza. He says many people he operated on were civilians and were shot while trying to reach food aid.

Disgusting

🚨NEW: @cbsnews.com reports ICE is arresting people who can't even legally be deported and holding them without enough food or water in a federal building BASEMENT in Los Angeles. Families dutifully attending check-ins with ICE are being arrested and held for days, forced to sleep on the floor.

It’s about time

HAPPENING NOW: Stewart Rhodes and Enrique Tarrio are back in the courthouse where they were once sentenced for seditious conspiracy, this time as spectators as Judge Amy Berman Jackson sentences former DC cop Shane Lamond for allegedly aiding the Proud Boys.
