Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

Just saying, but if you’re having to deploy the national guard in *Texas* maybe you’re on the wrong side of this issue

We should never let ourselves get desensitized to this. It can’t be overstated how outrageously unpresidential and un-American it is for Donald Trump to speak to the US military like they’re his partisan personal army.

I just filed an emergency motion in court to immediately block the ongoing and unnecessary militarization of Los Angeles. The federal government is turning the military against American citizens. This is unprecedented and threatens the very core of our democracy.

If all teachers/staff are required to wear official school PHOTO ID tags EVERY SINGLE DAY when doing their jobs working with five to eleven year olds, ICE agents, National Guardsmen, and police officers should be required to do the same when they are in ANY community.

It's quite possible that Whiskey Pete 1) is too stupid and 2) has no aides to figure out he needs to coordinate with LAPD, in which case this will become a clusterfuck very quickly. is he going to feed the Marines? Or are they supposed to live off the land?

<Thread> I figure I need to explain how extreme and irresponsible is the June 7 Memorandum federalizing the National Guard and authorizing regular armed forces. Those saying anything in support of this action may not realize what they’ve gotten into. (It will also escalate from here.) Preview⤵️

I ran an experiment, simultaneously posting articles on Bluesky and X, and then testing to see how many people actually clicked and read them. The numbers on Bluesky are higher, both because the X algorithm downranks journalism, and because Bluesky attracts readers, not just shitposters.

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.

I don’t care if you’re black, white, brown, yellow, purple - at the end of the day there’s only ONE race and that’s the human race. BE HUMAN. Practice humanity.
