Ca Gov Gavin Newsom: “The President of the US just called for the arrest of a sitting Governor. This is a day I hoped I would never see in America. “I don’t care if you’re a Democrat or a Republican this is a line we cannot cross as a nation — this is an unmistakable step toward authoritarianism.”

I'm sharing this in case it helps someone else. I've never been able to do voice to text too well. I felt self-conscious, like everything coming out of my mouth was silly and stilted. In Dallas recently, while waiting to leave for the airport, I had an epiphany. A breakthrough.

THANK YOU, PRESIDENT TRUMP, YOU ARE SO WONDERFUL. WE WOULD BE NOTHING WITHOUT YOU, SIR Say it with feeling. Louder. LOUDER. And try to ignore the cold metal of the muzzle at the back of your neck. That's what Republicans call freedom.

If you're a Democratic elected official who is insisting that law enforcement attacking civilians in L.A. is a "distraction" and we shouldn't take the bait, I'm going to briefly assume you're saying that in good faith and ask you this in response: What is your plan for ICE kidnapping people?

the reframing of bluesky as some sort of bubble for one viewpoint conveniently ignores the fact many of us left X because our work was obviously being censored for its viewpoints. i wrote about tesla and climate and trans people and was significantly throttled. that’s why i left!

WATCH: “Here’s the big scary LA protest — look: you don’t see the cops or the National guard here… are there any fires or chemical smoke? Wonder why that is.” The people are peaceful. Law enforcement is doing the escalating. Intentionally. This has always been Trump’s plan.

what people seem to believe is that there is a large number of criminal, layabout immigrants who can be easily found and deported. they support doing so snd are dismayed by the deportation of otherwise law abiding people. the problem is that the criminal group is imaginary!

If you had any possible temptation to downplay how bad it is, stop immediately. Thread (add your own in replies, please) of things we can do to melt ICE and support immigrants here.

"Here it's also useful to make a distinction between property damage (which protesters in the USA in our era have done from time to time) and harming living beings (which is largely something done by law enforcement in these demonstrations)."

“But I didn’t think he’d—“ “But the duopoly—“ “But voting doesn’t matter—“ “But the economy—“ I don’t care what the rationalization was. There was always “for fascism” and “against fascism,” and the people who chose (directly or indirectly) “for fascism” need to own that choice.

These fascist dipshits keep claiming there is all kinds of violence in Los Angeles right now. At this very moment, even! Weirdly, every single local channel is running regular programming, instead of this BREAKING NEWS EVENT. It's like ... it's like the dipshits are lying, or something. Weird.

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.

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

Ron and Casey DeSantis stole $10 million from a settlement for Florida taxpayers and funneled it to Casey’s bogus “charity.” Now they want to mandate the state work with that charity. And they’re sending threatening letters to Orlando Sentinel to silence their reporting.

In the last 20 or so minutes I’ve seen LAPD officers shove women to the ground without provocation, rip a sign out of a man’s hand and then swing a baton into his leg and raise a less-lethal launcher to aim directly at a protester (which I’m 99% is a major policy violation.)

I was an immigration lawyer for about fifteen years. The people I met… the way they wanted to give their absolute best to this country, and then DID. Skills, ideas, beauty, culture… that’s what they bring. America is a nation of immigrants, and immigration is what made America.

I think nuance and respectful disagreement can be found on a lot of issues, but ICE isn't one of them. Fuck ICE. I'm rooting for their abject failure and personal misery. May the people of Los Angeles send these discount gestapo hacks packing.

Undocumented immigrants pay almost $100 billion in taxes each year. The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes each year. Stop pretending that immigrants are the ones taking advantage of taxpayers.
