Just some creepy armed Mad Max guys trying to gain entry to Dodgers Stadium. ICE says it wasn’t them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? They’ve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.

This is brutal. India says Trump is lying about a trade deal and says he also lied about brokering a peace deal between India and Pakistan. We are a joke around the world. bsky.app/profile/meid...

Per Harold Meyerson, it turns out that housing production is not monocausal and primarily about zoning! And when you deport the immigrants who build houses, and put tariffs on the materials that make up houses, houses don't get built! prospect.org/blogs-and-ne...

Let's be clear: Trump is thinking of entering a war against Iran without Congressional authorization or legal basis because his birthday parade was a dud and he thinks the war will produce arousing pictures for him to look at on Fox News.

We have been working on a story about the run of ICE impersonators robbing and terrorizing mostly Latino businesses. Now this has jumped to impersonating cops for politically motivated assassinations.

<thread> On the left: June 12, Judge Breyer writing that THE test for whether the US Marines/Guard violate Posse Comitatus will be whether they've engaged in "detaining" civilians. On the right: June 13: See for yourself. Note: The DoD has confirmed the detention of civilian to Reuters.

Invasion. Why are we not describing what Whiskey Pete ordered the Marines to do (without the benefit of any babysitter--the dude has no handlers, much less competent ones) as an invasion?

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.

I don’t think people should engage in violence and vandalism and I don’t think federal agents should provoke people to engage in violence and vandalism. Too many law enforcement officers sworn to protect and serve now look and act like they are in Fallujah.

I just have to say for those of you not in LA that in the days before the horrible raids started, there was no crisis or whatever they would let you believe. It wasn't like something was escalating out of control and somebody had to step in. THEY are creating the problems.

"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."

Perhaps Newsom should have spent less time chumming around with authoritarian buffoons on his podcast and more time preparing and strategizing for the entirely predicable thing that is happening in his state right now.

L.A. is a Mexican-American city. The majority of the population is made up of racial and ethnic minorities. We are all happy living together and really do not want to see our friends, neighbors and families being terrorized by federal robo-cops. This is bullshit.

Earlier today ICE agents hit someone with a car and tear gassed a neighborhood, sparking several fires and disrupting businesses. Immigrants, by contrast, did not.

Stephen Miller is fulfilling his high school wet dream of terrorizing all the Brown people in Los Angeles. My daughter's friends who went to SaMo High with him said he used to seethe while the morning announcements were repeated in Spanish. Hell, they did that when I went there. (Mesozoic age.)
