I am a veteran, so I don’t say this without first having thought about it: I am utterly disgusted with the members of the National Guard who are participating in this deployment in Los Angeles. You aren’t being the “patriots” you believe yourselves to be.

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.

For you obsessive 1st Amendment “free speech” folks.. Remember, the US Constitution’s 1st Amendment “guarantees” (loll) protection from the gov’t re: speech, press, religion, assembly. AND YET: confirmed #NationalGuard members, firing on members of the press, carrying a camera/tripod. 🇺🇸 #LosAngeles

Authorities have arrested two men in Washington state, who had an arsenal that included dozens of guns, explosives, and body armor. They nearly killed a soldier with a hammer while stealing gear from Joint Base Lewis-McChord. If these were immigrants it'd be front page news. However... 1/2

I don't know about you, but Trump's handling of COVID resulted in SIXTY deaths of people I knew. No, not all were close friends, but I grew up with or around them. Think small town. You know how many lives of people I grew up with have been ended because of immigrants: ZERO, Goddamnit. ZERO.

In LA, officers deployed tear gas and shot rubber bullets at protesters fighting against ICE raids. Here’s a reminder that those anti-protest weapons—which are billed as relatively safe—can actually cause serious harm.

The irony of the director of ICE whining that his thugs have children & wives & so shouold not be yelled at while those bullies are grabbing random family members (and sometimes leaving children unattended) is off the chart.

WHEN -- not IF -- he declares martial law, it won't be because of facts on the ground. It will be because of whatever Fox News reports. That's a staggering amount of power to have in the hands of an irresponsible media outlet that will benefit from reporting violence.

He's so close to declaring martial law. He's just begging for the right excuse. He thinks he may have found it in L.A. This horror show, of his making, is beyond evil.

Anderson Cooper & Scott Pelley talk about how corporate news orgs don’t have the support of their corporate overlords to speak truth to power. This is why independent outlets like us exist. Would be great if we didn’t have to. 🤷🏻‍♂️
