Fight the Empire.

Let this sink in. Even the Los Angeles Police Chief, Jim McDonnell, made it clear: the people protesting immigration raids were not the ones causing violence. During a Sunday evening press conference, McDonnell condemned the violence as “disgusting”

One in 35 Americans live in Los Angeles County. Los Angeles is America.

So tired of all these incompetent fools recklessly endangering our lives. I'm really pissed that I may not be able to get good vaccines while he is in there. apnews.com/article/kenn...

New Texans RB Nick Chubb has now passed his physical and signed with Houston, sources say. The former Browns Pro Bowler agreed to terms over the weekend and is getting a 1-year, $2.5M deal that can be worth up to $5M.

This is genuinely frightening stuff.

Marine veterans are speaking out against the troop deployment in Los Angeles. Across the country, they’re taking down their American flags that have flown in front of their homes for years. Remember, we have friends everywhere.

Authoritarians love corruption and fear accountability. The arrest of long-time human rights defender Ruth López is another chilling attack on democracy by Bukele’s regime. Free Ruth NOW.

Dear USA Deploying troops against civilians will not go well. Yours Great Britain and Northern Ireland

Invasion. Why are we not describing what Whiskey Pete ordered the Marines to do (without the benefit of any babysitter--the dude has no handlers, much less competent ones) as an invasion?

see, the thing *i’m* genuinely worried about is that RFK will effectively ban vaccines

For decades the NRA and other gun nuts told us that their guns were to protect us all from a tyrannical government. So a tyrannical government is here, they are all sitting on their asses, and the people who want gun control have taken to the streets to defy the tyrannical government instead.

😠 😡 😤 😣 😾 🤬

It’s not a surprise that the man who purposely incited a violent attempt to overthrow an American election would now purposely incite violence on the streets of Los Angeles as a justification for military force against American citizens. Not a surprise at all.

This stuff doesn’t look very protect-and-serve-y

Nothin but the facts

Nat Guard/DHS threw tear gas canisters and smoke grenades into the crowd. Protesters and media hit. Pellet rounds deployed. All to seemingly clear path for a convoy of DHS/Border Patrol vehicles. I got hit but fine after an eye rinse.

here's today's post: "what the fuck is this" — none of it is normal — or necessary. thanks for reading, and please sign up for my daily newsletter to keep getting the good stuff —

The folks hollering about “family values” are out here tearing families apart with unlawful ICE raids, militarized police, & the weaponization of government. All while ripping away food & healthcare from working-class families. Are the family values in the room with us?

Worst president in U.S. history.

The President of the United States is advocating for arresting the duly-elected Governor of California for his SPEECH He thereafter admitted that the Governor of California had committed NO CRIME—but he still wants him arrested Spend as much time as you need processing what that means for America

We’re deeply disappointed in much of the U.S. media. Grateful, however, to international journalists who are telling the truth.

Exactly.

I have a bunch of crows that follow me on my walks now, and suddenly a bunch of them landed close and started cawing nonstop furiously. I thought I'd pissed them off somehow -- when a coyote rounded the corner. Trotted past me on the opposite side, side-eyed me, and kept going.

Independent journalism is when you can write what Terry Moran wrote without getting in trouble. Corporate journalism is when you can’t. It’s why many left the latter for the former. I understand the rationale behind corp journalism rules, I’m just glad they don’t apply to me

Los Angeles Unified School District Superintendent Alberto M. Carvalho didn't hold back when expressing his anger and "contempt" after agents with Homeland Security attempted to gain access to two elementary schools earlier this week.

He’s disappearing innocent people off of our streets and ordering the military onto our streets. He does not give a damn about the rule of law. He is the very tyrant our founding generation rose up against 249 yrs ago. It’s time for the American people to rise up again.

To anyone who wondered, what could go wrong if we elected as president a highly volatile, deeply dishonest, simple-minded cretin with a revenge fetish, the answer is THIS. All of THIS.

Everyone should say it: The thing about Stephen Miller is not that he is the brains behind Trumpism. Yes, he is one of the people who conceptualizes the impulses of the Trumpist movement and translates them into policy. But that's not what's interesting about Miller. It's not brains. It's bile.

Exactly 💯

"I voted for lawless, anonymous, masked, and unchecked police" is one hell of a jump from "eggs cost too much."

Trump has manufactured a national crisis, again. First, the January 6 insurrection. Now, by seizing control of a state’s National Guard without its consent and placing Marines on standby.

MAGA was terrified this weekend, because one city out of 19,495 incorporated cities, towns and villages in the United States, decided to pop off. Los Angeles has 0.12% of the total US population and out of that 0.12% around 1% protested. That's how fragile the Trump regime is.

"Neither Los Angeles nor California is mentioned in the memorandum. Trump’s order is an open-ended authorization for the secretary of defense to mobilize as many troops as he wishes for as long as he wishes, and to deploy them anywhere he wishes.” www.thebulwark.com/p/its-always...
