Looking for the resistance.

I'm not staying home while Trump snatches up my neighbors and sends them to a black box, or while he turns my home into a police state.
Let me make sure I got this right.

I'm going to pay 50% more for Brazilian coffee and beef (and other stuff) bc Donald is pissed that the Brazilian Supreme Court isn't being nice to his buddy.

That's it, isn't it? I'm paying for his thumb on the justice system of another country.

Trump regime ICE forces broke a window, dragged a pregnant woman out, and 3 regime thugs pinned her stomach to the ground before arresting her husband. She was later released with an ankle monitor; he remains detained in Camarillo, California. #3E #StopICE

So, the MacArthur Park show of force with no arrests. Intimidation? Provocation? Preparing for martial law? Or were folks warned and the NG showed up to nothing?

What the hell is this?

And fresh in my feed, an article from Raw Story that Musk is starting a political party back to back with an article about Tesla losing $2,000,000,000 because the Big "Beautiful" Bill recinds the tax break for EVs.

Just a reminder against the MAGA perversion of language:

People who enter without a visa or overstayed a visa aren't criminals. They're guilty of a civil infraction, not a crime. If you get a moving violation, you're not a criminal either.

Words matter

Anyone who owns and lives in a gold-plated luxury hotel and thinks Alligator Alcatraz is fine for other people, doesn't think other people are people.

UPDATE: 2 more impersonators in Houston alone. (One was shot by a man’s wife)

How long are we going to let this madness go on? We should be requiring agents to ID themselves, not legislating to protect masked vigilantes. @MarshaBlackburn

Holy Crap. Just straight up looting at this point. Or like was already looting. But just bringing in a semi to haul out the loot faster.

I'm out of the country at the moment. Everyone's aware of what's going down, but every moment isn't Trump. I wanna stay 😓

If the tax bill was a distraction from tariffs, and the Musk feud was a distraction from the bill, and the National Guard was a distraction from the Musk feud, and Iran was a distraction from the National Guard… what will be the distraction from Iran?

Sitting in a hole in the wall restaurant called Buenissimo in La Raval in Barcelona (excellent! burgers). Almost everyone here knows what's going down in #LA, they're cheering for us, and they know Trump is dangerous and crazy.

The whole world is watching

Hard to estimate, but if they tell you fewer than 200,000 in DTLA, they're lying. National Guard/Marines/LAPD looking bored and useless. Everyone was chill, don't believe the hype

BREAKING: A few minutes ago, a vehicle of three people was rammed by a truck belonging to federal immigration authorities in Boyle Heights, CA. According to security footage shown to me, they deployed chemical munitions & detained the driver at gunpoint. All are US citizens according to the wife.

Hearing the Marines are heading to downtown LA.

7000 NG + 400 Marines = prolly 3 or 4X the number of protestors on a workday. And that doesn't include LAPD + LASD

PS Nada went down last night except an LAPD goon shot a woman walking home and the person who helped her w rubber bullets

Escalation.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.”

They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

Posse comitatus is over if they engage. 9000 LAPD + 2000 National Guard + 700 Marines

to "defend us" from some rocks, 3 trashed Weymos, and a literal dumpster fire. This is LA, it will get worse
