Pragmatic in my politics which translates to progressive, liberal, moderate and conservative depending on the issue. “The power of the one needs the stupidity of the other.”

Establish protests where the military is not. We must be smarter than a them. Don’t confront directly. Create media events elsewhere in the city. Move protests around.

Since when is it ok for a US president to attack universities, law firms, the media and the American people peacefully protesting?

Civil protest. No violence. Trump is itching for violence, don’t give it to him.

Stephen Miller demands ICE get deportation numbers up to 3000 a day. This is WHY we are facing this problem in LA. He doesn’t care who they deport, it’s all about the optics.

He’s disappearing innocent people off of our streets and ordering the military onto our streets. He does not give a damn about the rule of law. He is the very tyrant our founding generation rose up against 249 yrs ago. It’s time for the American people to rise up again.

ICE is a much greater threat to this country than illegal immigrants. The current administration ia by far the greatest threat this country faces. The problem is not st our borders. It is in the White House.

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple. Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

Had it not been for Trump’s tariffs, the Fed would have cut rates. It’s on him. He’s created uncertainly globally.

Bill Ackman, hedge-fund billionaire, posted on social media that the two men “should make peace for the benefit of our great country.” So in other words cover-up that Musk torpedoed valuable programs for his business interests, DOGE was a fraud, Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” will heap Mtns of debt?

Executive Orders Joe Biden had 167 over four years. Trump has had 152 over four months. This is what Autocrats do.

The government asked, among other things, for Harvard to bar students hostile to American values and to allow an audit of faculty and students to measure “viewpoint diversity” at the school. Is this China? Certainly is not my America. This is what autocracy looks like.

The U.S. Supreme Court last week ruled in favor of a controversial Utah railway project that critics say erodes the National Environmental Policy Act, or NEPA, a bedrock of environmental law for the past half century. Here we go. Polluting America. It’s getting bad folks.

Private sector payrolls rose by just 37,000 in May, coming in sharply below the Dow Jones forecast for 110,000. Trump took a strong Biden economy and drove it into the ditch.

When one listens to an Israeli spokesperson on NPR respond to questions I feel like I’m in the Twilight zone. She does no service to Israel behaving like this.

CNN should NEVER state Ukraine taking out a third of Russia’s strategic Air Force is their “Pearl Harbor”. Irresponsible. These planes are used to attack Ukraine killing civilians.
