What is it with theater gays loving Trump voters

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

In 2020 SFPD seemed to pretty much understand that as long as they never escalated things themselves, nothing much would actually happen at these protests (instead they tried to eg terrorize random groups of kids on their way home afterwards Guess we'll see if they still remember that!

As someone who lives in Los Angeles, don’t let social or mainstream media gaslight you into thinking there’s a violent uprising taking place here. The Trump administration is trying to punish this state and this city. He’s also setting a precedent to unleash troops on Democratic cities.

This is definitely illegal. The federalization of the national guard was illegal. The only statute they've bothered to cite simply does not allow this stuff without going through the governor.

Seeing a massive divide online between Angelenos of all political stripes who understand that the protests in LA yesterday were mostly peaceful and any violence was ICE-initiated and East Coast establishment liberals lecturing “the left” on how riots just amplify right wing talking points.

Trump is a loser. He's weird. He's weak. Nonstop weirdo, loser behavior from a pathetic person. Trumpists are loser. They're weird. They're weak. Trying to break America to soothe their fragile egos. Harming other people because you're insecure and scared and bigoted is loser shit.

This is beyond delusional insanity, it needs its own new terminology for how devoid of reality it is. This man is a deranged lunatic. I live in L.A., am out doing errands. L.A. is exactly like it is on any other day, with a few hundred protestors in a couple of spots in a city of nearly 10,000,000

Cannot stress enough that this is a pitiful action by a weak, scared, pathetic group of insecure, wannabe authoritarians, and they should be mocked until the end of time for wanting to bring in the military over some people protesting them at a Home Depot.

A separate protest at Los Angeles City Hall is now taking place. LAPD reporting crowd size of 1500-2000 people. This is a different part of DTLA than the federal detention center. Separate protests.

You're a mealy-mouthed loser. There is no violence in Los Angeles, except for the National Guard tear-gassing peaceful protestors. If you can't plainly and truthfully describe what is going on in your state, and you needlessly adopt the lies of fascists, then you have no place in public life.

The California National Guard just tear-gassed and fired impact munitions at reporters, children, and community leaders. Multiple injuries. National Guard has now declared an "unlawful assembly" on the streets. Not clear whether NG has legal authority to enforce that far away from federal buildings.

Received video from the anti-ICE protest in downtown LA. Tear gas already dispersed with families reportedly hit.

Fresh Report: Without any warning or provocation, National Guard grabbed riot shields, advanced on the crowd, and opened up on peaceful demonstrators with rubber bullets. Another crowd just joined the demonstrators, 500-600 people estimated.

From NYC to LA, we are in solidarity with our immigrant brothers and sisters. People deserve to be safe in their homes, workplaces, schools and neighborhoods. We will not allow this administration—or anyone—to strip away the dignity and humanity that every person deserves.

Now is a good time to bump this. It makes it extra hard for the National Guard and soldiers to fire at you if you are literally waving the fucking stars and stripes flag.

Three months ago today, plain-clothes ICE agents abducted Mahmoud Khalil in his apartment building lobby after they'd followed him home. Free Mahmoud.

First they illegally deport citizens. Then they unleash ICE to terrorize communities. Now they’ve got the National Guard in L.A. to silence protestors. This ain’t about law and order. This is what authoritarianism looks like.

Here’s the “Presidential Memorandum”: www.whitehouse.gov/presidential... There’s no Insurrection Act invocation; Trump is federalizing 2000 CA Nat’l Guard personnel only to “protect federal functions.” Without invoking the Insurrection Act, anything more would violate the Posse Comitatus Act.

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.

Absolutely wild that LA has deployed LAPD, DHS has deployed both ICE and CBP, now the white house is calling in the national guard. You'd think the wildest riot in history was going down in LA right now, but it's actually just a bunch of protestors mostly just standing around holding signs.

The “no unmet need” is the important bit here. Calling in the ARNG for a relatively small protest like this makes Miller, Homan, & co look WEAK. Soft as baby shit.
