Trump is scrambling to spin this.

Trump probably thinks of himself as a patriotic billionaire. Imagine, if you would, a different kind of wealthy role model for our nation’s youth—and its grownups, too, for that matter.

The Patriotic Rich
Not all of them are like Trump, willing to see the poor get poorer so the rich can get richer.

“Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”

On 6/12, DHS Sec’y Kristi Noem said “We are staying here to liberate [LA] from the socialists and the burdensome leadership this governor and mayor have placed on this country and this city.” This use of military force to displace a democratically elected is the very definition of a coup.

Ambushing & arresting people who are here legally & are obeying the law by checking in with ICE as they’re required to do.
Repressive fear tactics that will NOT end with immigrants alone. Why would it? It’s a handy way to force your opposition into compliance and silence, & take dictatorial control

🚨NEW: @cbsnews.com reports ICE is arresting people who can't even legally be deported and holding them without enough food or water in a federal building BASEMENT in Los Angeles.
Families dutifully attending check-ins with ICE are being arrested and held for days, forced to sleep on the floor.

Two U.S. Servicemembers are dead, one critically injured—killed in a vehicle crash while deployed to the southern border under Trump’s executive order.
Their loss is a tragic reminder of the real risks behind political decisions.
