We're living at a moment when ICE is threatening not only to arrest and deport immigrants but arrest and prosecute everyday people and leaders for educating others about their constitutional rights. Helping to defend our immigrant communities is one clear action that we can all take right now. ⤵️

I am sounding the alarm as loudly as I can that Donald Trump has turned the Department of Justice into a cog in his authoritarian machine to prosecute his political opponents.

When I was a military chaplain, a junior commissioned officer, partisan politics, even casual conversation about it, was strictly forbidden for many good reasons, not least of which was cohesion of the ranks to assure national security as the top priority. Not here.

This is the most dangerous thing Trump has done since taking office and the silence from Senate Armed Services Chair Roger Wicker and House Chair Mike Rogers is deafening, and a betrayal of their duty to the military and the Republic.

Great news for the MAGA “I voted for this” crowd—the only elements of the so-called Big Beautiful Bill _certain_ to be stripped from it are the things he publicly promised you to get your vote. But have no fear! The backroom deals he cut with the rich will all remain intact as he signs it.

The orange dictator's mind is disordered and full of hate and perversion. So are his policies. He's leading the country into chaos and destruction. Of course he doesn't have a coherent viable strategy!!! When did he ever?

Here’s a video of Stephen Miller in high school screaming that he’s “sick and tired of being told to pick up my trash, when we have plenty of janitors who are paid to do it for us.” This is the sociopath shaping our immigration policy and so much more

It's certain that MAGA ignoramuses won't know who Christy Walton is. They'll try to destroy Walmart anyway because they enjoy destroying things. That's what MAGA is all about. Destruction.

Karen Bass: "The 100 National Guard soldiers that are downtown LA are guarding one federal building, so there is no need for this...it's all part of an experiment that is taking place in Los Angeles...what happens when the federal government intervenes and takes power away from a governor & mayor?"

After the January 6 pardons, MAGA Republicans have committed themselves to the acceptability of attacks on law enforcement. Officers died as a result. Everything else from them is dishonest bad faith noise.

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’m extremely proud of our piece, and hope you’ll take a read. In particular, the stories of people in Altadena and Pasadena were both tragic and uplifting to hear. Gigantic thank you to @melbuer.bsky.social and @jwhendricks.bsky.social for being an incredible team. calmatters.org/commentary/2...

NOW we’re talking about the excesses of law enforcement. But this should have been part of the robust and ongoing conversation about our democracy’s unraveling long before Trump’s latest ICE raids.

As Trump plans mass deployments of ICE in Chicago, a car just sped through a group of protesters. I was at the Federal Plaza protest. It was PEACEFUL. This violence and chaos are what Trump, his masked thugs, and the people who support mass deportations stand for.

Trump escalated tensions in LA by sending federal troops — but did nothing to stop the 50,000 violent rioters he incited on January 6. I was there. They scaled the Capitol walls and trapped us inside. In LA? Peaceful protestors demanding justice are met with unprecedented military force.

We believe in the Constitution, Bill of Rights, separation of powers, and checks and balances. The U.S. was founded in opposition to monarchy. We fought for democracy over dictatorship. What the Trump regime is doing is the antithesis of the values this nation was founded upon.

America has never been broke. It’s just violently anti-poor. Troops in LA cost $134M — the price of 44 million school lunches. But sure, let’s keep pretending the issue is lazy parents and not a government that eats kids for breakfast.

Just to be clear: the President has mobilized the Marines on American soil because people are protesting masked, secret police kidnapping people with no due process and shipping them to foreign death camps. It’s not a misunderstanding or an oversight. That is all it is. There is no other side.

A pop-up shop that sells pro-Trump and other conservative-coded memorabilia, was set up on-site with campaign-style merchandise on Army property. Soldiers were seen purchasing "Make America Great Again" chain necklaces and faux credit cards labeled "White Privilege Card: Trumps Everything."
