Yes. I have heard this from both liberal and conservative people with sources inside the agency. It’s not just the pushback, it’s also that many officers want to believe they’re targeting the “bad guys” and this admin is telling them “screw you, grab families.” Genuinely, morale is way down.

What we’re seeing in L.A. isn’t an insurrection—so why federalize the National Guard? Why the threat of using the U.S. military against civilians? We’re not there yet—but we’re closer than we think. Watch this Project 2025 reminder until the end. Then view everything happening through that lens.

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple. Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

California SB 98, passed in 2021, specifically allows journalists to remain in areas closed by law enforcement during public events. The law officers from assaulting, interfering with, or obstructing journalists. Nor can journalists be cited for failure to disperse. @knightcolumbia.org

Sounds like Trump is about to declare martial law and deploy troops to all blue state cities. Also sounds like he is actively thinking about sending in active duty military. If that’s the case, he will get the war he wants.

Yeah I guess LeBron putting up a 22.6 PER is pretty special, but it's not that impressive when you compare him to people rolling out of bed and firing off something like this at age 86.

“Saw some civilians hiding in a bunker, cowering, looking out the door. Saw some advancing Americans coming that way. I just figured it was time to do something, to not let these people get killed. Landed in between the Americans & Vietnamese, told my crew chief & gunner to cover me…” Please read:

Translation: We are already making a $15 million bribe payment to Trump, the efficacy of which has been jeopardized by Mr Moran's factually indisputable comments. Therefore we are adding his carcass to the sacrificial pyre.

Funny how ICE who is so allegedly fighting undocumented gang members has only managed to round up normal working class people, traumatize children, and fight US citizens in the streets.

I am hyper aware daily now, as I watch all that is happening around me, that the only reason it’s not me is because I’m not brown. The reason they’re not in my town yet is because it looks largely like me. I am brutally aware of my privilege and also aware that it will run out.

1/ If accurate, this is almost certainly a conflict with the Posse Comitatus Act, which prohibits the use of the military for domestic law enforcement, including the National Guard if they are federalized.

The LA protests will trigger a drumbeat of "law and order" messaging from the White House and their media allies as a prelude to invoking the Insurrection Act. This is entirely predictable, and any Dem or media outlet that facilitates this narrative will be aiding Trump's authoritarian project.

kind of just endlessly sad and grieving that there are so few voices in the public sphere making the basic principled argument that immigration is an affirmative good in every way and the best way for this country to serve humanity is to welcome people who want or need to leave their homes

The Trump administration has lied about the Kilmar Abrego Garcia case every step of the way. That so many outlets are choosing to credulously report out details of the indictment rather than covering this as a dangerous political weaponization of the justice system is deeply pathetic.

Let’s be clear: ICE injured and detained the president of SEIU California for peacefully observing. ICE picked the wrong side. The wrong state. The wrong person. and the wrong union. David Huerta stood up. And now 750,000 SEIU workers are standing up behind him. seiuca.org/press-releas...

It continues to make me sad that Ro Khanna used VC and tech money to push Mike Honda out of Congress. Honda was a childhood Japanese internee who became a high school teacher, congressman, and staunch ally of labor and LGBTQ ppl. Khanna is … wooing a white supremacist anti-trans bigot for his money.
