What caused mass protest in LA? The return of a controversial policy from ICE—to juice the number of deportations www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The ship is carrying necessities including rice, flour, medical supplies, and baby formula to Gaza.

Good time to remind people that during Trump’s first reign, he asked former Defence Secretary Mark Esper to shoot protesters in the leg. Esper refused. During Hegseth’s confirmation hearings, he was asked if he would carry out that order. He didn’t answer.

What’s happening in California is a Trump regime invasion.

In times like this, I am biting my tongue and listening to the experts first.

i don't want to dunk on any of the people who replied or quoted this with a "well ackshully the national guard will shoot protesters, look at kent state," but my request is to a) remember that kent state was over half a century ago and b) read about the NG's response in its aftermath

Deploying the military on U.S. soil as law enforcement against Americans was on page 555 of Project 2025. So don’t say “I didn’t vote for this,” because you did. This isn’t a response. This was always their plan.

Reports and video show flash-bangs thrown into piles of debris just before a car caught fire, strongly suggesting it was law enforcement, not protesters, who sparked it. More details are coming. Don’t let them control the narrative. Thank you to everyone sharing footage, always record everything.

DEVELOPING: No warning. No reason. NYPD officers rushed into the crowd and tackled a protester this weekend. His body was limp. He couldn’t move. He said, “I can’t feel my legs.” He might never walk again. For showing up. This is brutality. This is America.

#LGBTQWriteAThon June 6: What was the inspiration for your character? The character of Freya both in The Ten Worlds and Why Odin Drinks is inspired by Edina Monsoon from ‘Absolutely Fabulous’ if she looked like Scarlett Johansson. Truth, sweetie darling.

You would have more friends if you didn’t talk about your disability and kept the advocacy quiet” I’m sure I would. But what kinds of friends would those be? And how would conditions ever improve? Too many people seek to silence disabled voices because we make them uncomfortable. Get loud!

Healthcare for seniors is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse. Food for hungry kids is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse. A $45 military parade for a draft dodging felon *is* waste, fraud, and abuse. Paying the National Guard to attack US citizens *is* waste, fraud, and abuse.

ICE crossed a line in LA

Whenever law enforcement agents are given a quota of a specific number of people to arrest or detain, especially with the WH policy director screaming at their superiors to hit those target numbers, bad things are going to happen. Quotas always result in civil rights violations.

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

He shouldn’t have taken the post down. He’s a reporter. And he was reporting facts.

If I can borrow a phrase from the late great Douglas Adams. This must be some strange usage of the word great, I hadn’t previously been aware of. 🤷‍♂️

FOTUS is deploying the military to attack citizens who are peacefully protesting. Just like millions of us will be doing for NO KINGS Day next Saturday. He is using this tactic to scare us. No way! We will not be deterred. See you on the streets America! #FOTUSIsACriminal

If you really want to drive the point home about how fucked up ICE is then people should start forcing Star Wars themes on ICE. Protesters should start playing the imperial march whenever ICE shows up and should also start dressing like the rebel alliance.

The National Guard arrived in LA. NOTE: If Trump can override California’s governor, he can override yours too. This is a trial run…

Thou shalt remember that President Trump hired a “big time drug addict” to destroy the government and was fine with that. Thou shalt also remember that Elon Musk funded and worked for a man he knew to be a pedophile and was fine with that.

Tom Homan is lying. “They arrested a lot of bad people yesterday.” They say this each & every time, & each & every time they are arresting non-criminals. It is Tom Homan who is sending in armies into our cities to make highly visible arrests. Tom Homan is the one instigating the violence.

Trump clearly want to instigate catastrophic situations so he can declare martial law. Too many people talking about how he’s all over the Epstein list.

She has short bowel syndrome, and only the U.S. offers the treatment that keeps her alive. But her family’s humanitarian parole was suddenly revoked. Now, two months later, DHS has reversed course.

"The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear."

The military isn’t being employed to carry out an immigration policy. The immigration policy, and especially the way the administration is choosing to carry it out, is an excuse to call out the military.

This isn’t even remotely legal what he is doing.

Don't forget it

Reminder that our Constitution guarantees due process to ALL persons — not just citizens — and enshrines habeas corpus as a fundamental right. Either everyone has due process — or no one does.

I know for a fact that citizens would not be getting tear gassed by ICE and DHS in Los Angeles in June 2025 if we elected the other viable candidate for president.

While I LOVE seeing rocks thrown at ICE vehicles - STOP DOING THAT SHIT! Do not give them the excuse they're dying for right now.

Military style ICE raids in our communities. David Huerta was beaten and dragged away. Because he saw them and stood up for justice. Because he’s not afraid. Neither are we. On MONDAY let's #FreeDavidHuerta, #FreeThemAll 11:00 AM @ Grand Park in Downtown LA (200 N Grand Ave)

If you’re documenting the ICE atrocities, make sure to back up your data. Don’t assume it’s safe in the cloud or on social media. Keep a copy (or multiple copies). I also strongly recommend journaling what you witnessed by hand if possible. Tell your story. The world is watching.

“States’ rights” apparently don’t apply when Trump wants control.

"So here's the plan -- we impose massive tariffs on the nations that sell us food." "Hmm." "But it's OK, because we just rely more on states like California that grow a lot of the same things." "Oh, I guess that ..." "And then we go to war with California."

Goldman: Both of the issues Marjorie Taylor Greene raised—were widely publicized and thoroughly debated in committee and on the House floor. If you’re publicly admitting that you didn’t know what you were voting on and now regret it—you’re not competent or qualified to serve in Congress.

Bad shit happens when the military comes into to a volatile situation. This reminds me of a story from the 1992 riots in Los Angeles, to which some Marines deployed. I knew one of them and he told this story I also saw elsewhere — absent his telling it I would have assumed it was apocryphal. /1

There is no bigger story right now than the White House asserting that California residents are in a state "of rebellion against the authority of the Government of the United States."

Instead of working tirelessly to take away our Medicare Medicaid and Social Security, shouldn’t Congress be investigating why the President gave a “big time drug addict” the keys to the US government?

Sharing from local organizers - see you there

They are trying to force Harvard to admit more conservative students. Pardon me, but that sounds an awful lot like DEI, only DEI for stupid people.
