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.

chemical warfare

I think you know that when you politicise your armed services and police to encourage them to start beating innocent protestors wielding fucking flowers with batons we’re way past the point of pretending Trump & his whole diseased administration are anything than an abomination

Leave them hanging once again Fuck Trump Fuck MAGA 'Limp through hurricane season?' Emergency managers baffled by new Trump plans www.rawstory.com/donald-trump...

Tear gas can cause long-term health consequences by making people more susceptible to contracting respiratory illnesses, including COVID. The chemical agent can also hurt people inside their homes if it seeps into residential neighborhoods. What you need to know (published 2020):

NYT, circa 1930s: "As Hitler imposes totalitarian rule and removes legal rights of Jews, political opponents enter risky political terrain."

Something the Democratic Party is NOT doing right now, which it MUST DO, Is run ads on EVERY MEDIA PLATFORM KNOWN UNDER SUN, about the unconstitutionality of using troops on domestic soil. STOP ASSUMING people learned the Constitution in school. THEY DID NOT! You cannot

TRUMP'S LUDICROUSLY SLOPPY LEGAL RATIONALE FOR OCCUPYING LA It's blatantly illegal. @atrupar.com THE ONLY PEOPLE LOS ANGELES IS UNDER ATTACK FROM IS THE ADMINISTRATION. Trump, better than anyone, knows what an #insurrection on American soil really is, and it looks like January 6.

Cuomo is bringing full-on Chuck Schumer energy in this clip. Aside from everything else that's wrong for him, he's utterly unsuited to our historical moment.

Together with the DOJ, Trump will try to undermine his 34 felony convictions this morning by fighting in the Second Circuit to transfer the criminal appeals to a federal jurisdiction. I'll be there live with daylong coverage for @AllRiseNews.com. The rundown www.allrisenews.com/p/trump-appe...

Trump's campaign to "liberate" America from "criminals aliens" has rapidly descended into the militarization of cities to unleash masked thugs on working immigrants in Home Depot parking lots and restaurants It's gravely dangerous, but also a measure of Trump's political frailty -- not his strength

A long long time ago, in a far away galaxy... the US used to tax the rich

HERE IT IS… Simple reason Trump doesn’t want ‘peaceful protests,’ is because they empower the #MidtermMovement, that will surely reduce his power, get rid of him, and finally hold him accountable…👇 Simple as that. Remember. Always. Protest. Peacefully. 😎✨

This story leaves me feeling both sad and heart-warmed. THIS: “She decided to do this in her own terms. She has no criminal record. A hardworking taxpayer who’s been working 12-hour shifts since she was 15, six days out of the week. She never asked for a handout. She didn’t get food stamps…”

Republicans wanna be able to hate whomever they choose in the name of God - and not have to face legal consequences for violating the rights of their victims. It’s fundamentally un-American, makes a mockery of the constitution and the law, and par for course with these EVIL Nazi sons of bitches.

ICE showed up with no warrant and tore her family apart. She was 14. They lost everything. Now she’s speaking out so others don’t have to face the same pain. Know your rights. Carry a red card. Share this

We feed you. They hunt us.

Met an active duty member of the military yesterday who filed conscientious objector paperwork in response to deployment of military on U.S. soil. Was told multiple Army have filed, unknown quantities in other branches.

Oppression breeds rebellion.

I love this so much! Austin, Texas in solidarity with LA. 🙏🏽❤️

i just watched a clip of stephen miller talking to hannity from a few days ago and my god is that guy a stone cold freak. like, everything about him is profoundly off-putting, like a bug in an eggar suit

You can't call immigrants lazy moochers looking for government handouts and then round them up at Home Depots where you know they are looking for work. You can't say immigrants don't follow the rules and then round them up in courthouses where they are following the rules. Get your lies straight.

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

Oh.

For a lot of immigrants, a flag doesn't represent a "foreign country" as much as it does their ethnicity or culture. If I have a Korean flag it doesn't mean I take my orders from the Blue House. Who doesn't know this??!! Look at BlueSky profiles, half of them have "foreign flags".

Btw the Haslems were huge donors against our reproductive rights amendment. We gave them a huge L there. Let’s do it again for their Browns bailout. 🇺🇸

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.

Holy shit, Bill S. Preston Esquire re-skeeted me

This tiny device can shrink dangerous blood clots. It’s called the ‘milli-spinner’ and its invention was partly an accident…

“This is patriotism. You think that only your form of patriotism is valid, then it’s not patriotism that you like, it’s privilege that you like, and that’s not America.”

Crowds at the LA Football Club chanting Fuck ICE! Music to my ears!

Speaking to former Capitol Police Officer and author @libradunn1.bsky.social about what a real insurrection looks like (January 6th) and how Trump is abusing his authority to crackdown on our freedoms. 1 pm ET, Substack Live. Thelefthook.substack.com

What’s happening in Los Angeles is a personal question to all of us, regardless of where we live, asking how much we’re willing to do to preserve the America we call home and claim to love. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/we-are-all...
