Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem called Los Angeles a “city of criminals” and not a city of immigrants. But like its name, Los Angeles is a city of angels. We protect and look out for one another, especially the most vulnerable.

It's very blue; we don't like dictators or draft-dodger cowards, and he's jealous of our governor. He also thinks it's good theater, WWE theater. The problem is, Trump thinks WWE is a real sport. Donald, they are great athletes putting on a show; it's fake. like you. bsky.app/profile/zhar...

New York Post transmits three hours of a boring non-event. They intended it to be a live coverage of Anti-ICE protests in downtown Los Angeles, but protestors did not show up. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vgn8... Instead, enjoy 3 hours of a dog driving.

Newsom: The personnel currently being deployed are being sent here for this theater of absurdity, that were working on fentanyl interdiction and task force operations—our rattlesnake crews, all of these extraordinary efforts that can no longer be done, or at least are being disrupted

Stay strong, California.

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” From the Diary of Anne Frank

The president must send the Marines back to their barracks, and Congress must reform posse comitatus laws so that no president tries to deploy the military in this manner again. abcnews.go.com/US/live-upda...

Newsom: This is a national order. We’re talking about you and your state, your own backyard, all depending on the whim of a president who’s unhinged. Depending on how he’s feeling on a particular day, or who’s offended him because he didn’t like what they said on a Fox News clip.

Bring an umbrella. Imagine a sea of black umbrellas.

Cities with more non-citizen convicted criminals than LA: #1 Phoenix #2 Houston #3 Dallas #4 New Orleans #5 Maimi Cities reporting more non-citizens committing crimes than LA: #1 Phoenix #2 San Antonio #3 Harlington #4 New Orleans #5 Houston So, why attack LA? (Stats from ice.gov/statistics)

LA produces all of your Made In The USA apparel and fabric. LA is the port for most of your goods and produce. LA makes and the USA takes, baby.

LA…

beginning to suspect that LA wants ICE to fuck off

Adam Mockler of the MeidasTouch Network shows the frames where those placed to help keep the protests peaceful, instead are inciting and intentionally harming protestors. In this case, a guard shoots a reporter from Australia with rubber pellets in a live broadcast. www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGYZ...

Trumpo the Clown has escalated brute force and unlawful expulsions 2 days after ICE posted its statistics showing that Trumpo will not come close to Bidens enhanced removal efforts that began in 2022. This report is a major badge of shame, highlighting the incompetence of the Trumpo administration.

The Trump administration and loyalists will throw the word "insurrection" around so that the public will automatically think it applies to the ICE protests in LA. Trump is using an established Nazi propaganda technique to accuse his enemies of what he does. shero.substack.com/p/trump-sets...

FFS, how more obvious can Susie Wiles and her gang of merry propaganda fascist operative provocateurs be in the WH. Wag the dog to start a war in California to distract from their damn mess of a bill. #resist #Fascists #autocrats And, it’s not illegal to wave a damn Mexican flag in #California.

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple. Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

President Trump says he’s deploying 2,000 California National Guard troops to Los Angeles to respond to immigration protests, over the objections of Gov. Gavin Newsom. Trump also promised to deploy the National Guard to help carry out his immigration enforcement goals. apnews.com/article/insu...

Trumpo the Clown's cancelled $766 million in contracts to develop vaccines against flu viruses, fired a quarter of the HHS staff, and proposed $32 billion in cuts to HHS in his funding bill. He does not lead the party aligned with life.

She sat on the bottom bunk, crashed her head onto the pillow, and kicked her feet as she had seen in an anime. It was very dramatic. But she was serious! In every way she wanted to be a real girl. So, she thought, she better start acting like one, tantrums and all. www.amazon.com/dp/B0F7XQPPTR

In WTF'ism news: Trumpo the Clown pardoned Sheriff Scott Jenkins sentenced March 2025 in a case assumed by Trump's acting US Attorney Zachary Lee who is still serving as the acting US attorney for the Western District of Virginia. Trump blamed "a Corrupt and Weaponized Biden DOJ".
