My strong instinct is that Trump's threats against Americans' first amendment right to peaceably assemble is going to massively juice attendance at Saturday's protests. www.nokings.org

The GOP Tax Scam will rip healthcare away from 16 million everyday Americans in order to reward their billionaire donors. There are 53 Republicans in the Senate. We only need four to join us and we can stop the one big ugly bill from ever becoming law.

In other words, Trump is actually inflicting this needlessly on members of the military. We should understand it in those terms, as an act of malevolence and depravity toward them as well.

If you think the deployment in Los Angeles is a one-off, think again. This is a test balloon—and the plan’s already drafted. Trump’s team, Heritage Foundation operatives, shadow legal warriors—they’ve been rehearsing this power grab for years. Now they’re pressing play. Watch what comes next.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

If you’re watching @maddow.msnbc.com’s A Block you understand that people who stand up for other people can change the course of those people’s lives & our history. We have the power to refuse Trump’s path forward. Protesting actually works. Let’s go.

Meiselas: What I find interesting, though, is—he’ll be a keyboard warrior. He’ll say “New-scum this,” “New-scum that.” But when you’re face-to-face with him, when the cameras are on and you’re there together, he becomes a different person. Newsom: Weakness masquerading as strength.

I am in downtown Los Angeles right now and it is completely surreal to hear that Trump is sending Marines here. We are listening to mariachi music. People have dogs. There are teenagers here. It is utterly and completely peaceful. Please tell your friends.

There's this horrible scene, and so far, two journalists - a British man, and an Australian woman, have been hit by "less lethal" rounds. Masked people smashing car windows and dragging people out of cars and putting them in unmarked vehicles - people don't want to live like this.

Truth-tellers, not rioters. Protect these two men at all costs. “You feel tough with your assault rifles and your sticks. You should be standing here with us. You’re on the wrong side of history.” “John Lewis said make good trouble… that means make trouble on behalf of democracy.”
