I don’t even have the words

“He has ordered more troops to Los Angeles and Washington than he currently has stationed in Syria and Iraq combined. He seems more willing at the moment to use the military against Americans than against Iranians.” The story of today’s parade: Trump is a warmonger, but only against his own people.

The president's powers are so broad because "the twin assumptions have always been that no president would want to deploy the military against American citizens and if such a depraved individual did come to power, the public would swiftly repudiate him."

A man running an errand and trying to enter a Veterans Affairs office at a federal building in Los Angeles was briefly detained on Friday by U.S. Marines who have been sent to the city by the Trump administration to quell unrest. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/13/u...

Proud to have voted for this man. Wondering what rock my other senator is hiding under right now. Where you at @schiff.senate.gov ?

We hear that immigrants are "freeloaders," yet they're being arrested at their workplaces. We hear that immigrants "just need to follow the law," but when they attempt to, they're rounded up at courthouses. Hello?

So according to Michael Wolff’s sources, Trump has been telling people in phone calls that Alex Padilla “looks like an illegal” www.instagram.com/reel/DK2EEyC...

ICE abducted Moises Sotelo today. He is a trusted vineyard management business owner from Newburg, Oregon, who has been in the US since 1994. He has a wife, three children, and five grandchildren who need him to be returned safely to them.

It’s true, as many have suggested, that if they can do this to Sen. Padilla, they can do it to others. I’d only add that they already have been doing this to others. A mass deportation regime, sooner rather than later, becomes contemptuous of civil liberties and basic decency.

NEW: The City of Los Angeles files an amicus brief arguing that the presence of the military in LA is unlawful and counterproductive—with an early reference to the 2024 Dodgers parade (not a "rebellion"). storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

This is insane

You know what’s actually newsworthy and deserves a weekly editorial takedown? The unprecedented nature of Elon Musk owning a major communications platform while paying people to vote for Trump and then working in an unofficial official capacity in the White House.

How AI is helping sow misinformation and disinformation in the USA. Failed AI analysis that winds up being dangerous.

the right won't tell you this because they want your money, but the best way to get a girlfriend as a young man is to be a straight guy who likes musical theater.

We’re not full. That's it. That's the tweet.

ICE appears to confirm that California National Guard are being used to provide security to ICE officers during immigration arrest operations.

Important reminder for folks on the East Coast

Hello. I live in Los Angeles. The president is lying.

Critically important point from Juliette. The only real justification for federalizing the nat guard over a governors objection is when the civil authorities are defying the law. This is attack on the sovereign right of the people of California to self government.

Please consider reading this and thinking about it before reflexively rejecting its premise

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.

At the ICE raid and subsequent community resistance in Paramount, California this morning, this skater kid ate dozens of munitions from Border Patrol agents, walked away slowly and flipped them off.

lol they are about to airdrop the white south africans over capetown

this is like drake and kendrick lamar but they're both drake

I am officially dead now
