So let me get this straight. White people who wave around the Confederate flag claiming “it’s my heritage” are just fine … But Brown people waving the Mexican flag in a state that used to be part of Mexico because it’s their heritage is a crime … Got it.

The legal rationale given by Trump for seizing CA's National Guard was 10 U.S. Code § 12406. This statute allows the President to deploy National Guard units under very limited circumstances, NONE OF WHICH APPLY HERE. This is unprecedented and completely lawless! 1/ www.latimes.com/california/s...

I feel like it should be a bigger deal that ICE arrested the leader of the largest union in California.

Just to be clear, Governor Newsom hasn't broken any laws. If this line is crossed, and the President has a sitting governor arrested, then the choice for Democratic leaders, senior military officers and federal employees becomes one of accepting dictatorship or taking drastic action.

NPR receives $2-3M/year in federal funding. PBS receives $80-85M. The military-themed birthday parade Trump is throwing himself will cost taxpayers $92M. We’re told cutting news and kids programming to fund an authoritarian birthday bash somehow “makes America great again”

Rep Eric Swalwell walked out in shock—and who could blame him? Every single GOP member on the House Judiciary Committee just voted to let Trump “deport” American citizens. This is illegal, authoritarian, and unforgivable 🤬 Time to call, write, & protest before the full House votes.

BREAKING: Police just surrounded Rev. William Barber, prominent activist and pastor, as he and others prayed in the U.S. Capitol Rontunda. Police then expelled everyone (including press!) from the Rotunda to (presumably) arrest them. I've covered protests here a lot. Never seen anything like it.
