Given the level of finger-pointing and screaming at each other currently emanating from various big names in the GOP, I expect the next step is going to be the formation of a circular f*r*ng squad arranged in a very complex Venn diagram.

Deploying the military on U.S. soil as law enforcement against Americans was on page 555 of Project 2025.
So don’t say “I didn’t vote for this,” because you did.
This isn’t a response.
This was always their plan.

Thank you, Robert Reich for reminding us that Trump is not invincible, he is but a coward hiding behind the green curtain. He’ll be cowering in his bunker soon. “I won’t, back down, no I won’t back down, you can stand me up at the gates of Hell but I won’t back down.” Tom Petty

The feds kidnapping and trafficking people is a violent crime. Protesting it is fighting back against abuses of power. The government claiming protestors started the violence is DARVO—Deny, Attack, and Reverse Victim and Offender. It’s what abusers do when they face consequences.

Keep the sequence of events clear in your mind:
ICE was preparing to snatch day laborers from a Home Depot in order to meet deportation quotas set by Trump.
Community members protested.
ICE responded with flash-bangs and tear gas.
ICE started it and ICE escalated it. Period. #LosAngeles

Let’s be clear: ICE injured and detained the president of SEIU California for peacefully observing.
ICE picked the wrong side. The wrong state. The wrong person. and the wrong union. David Huerta stood up. And now 750,000 SEIU workers are standing up behind him.

The State of California needs to immediately file charges against Andrew Tate for his assault of Bri Stern earlier this month. I'm encouraging everyone to contact AG Rob Bonta and Los Angeles County DA Nathan Hochman.
Andrew Tate Accused of Choking Woman Two Weeks After Trump Administration Reportedly Helped Him Return to the U.S.
Andrew Tate, who returned to the U.S. last month while under indictment on sex trafficking charges in Romania, has been accused by his girlfriend and choking and beating her.
