The Dodgers owe it to their fans, to the people of Los Angeles, to tell Trump NO, we will not visit the WH after what you’ve said & done to our city. @governor.ca.gov should explicitly call on the Dodgers to not go the WH, to stand with their fans instead.

Brian Schatz: "This is not about money. There is enough money to bail out Argentina with $20b. There is enough money to purchase a brand new aircraft for $173m for Noem. There is enough money to renovate the WH ballroom. What there isn't enough money for under this Republican government is you."

Johnson: "Grijalva should be working for her constituents right now. I don't know what she's doing. I keep seeing their political stunt videos. She should be in her office. She should be working or in the district for her constituents" (Grijalva is not in fact a Rep. b/c Johnson refuses to seat her)

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

The correct response to Republicans widely depicting the coming protests as terrorism is to go out and protest. Each person should get 10 more people to do so. If Republicans are going to hint at violent state responses to legitimate protest, the only answer is bigger numbers.
By contrast, JB Pritzker told me that people should flood the No Kings protests precisely in order to let the American people know that something is deeply amiss.
More Dems should be doing this, to send the message widely that we are in real trouble right now.

Mike Johnson is running out of excuses for keeping the government shut down. Instead of doing his job, preserving affordable healthcare, or lowering costs for working families, he’s attacking millions of Americans who will peacefully protest to say that our country belongs to its people — not kings.
Mike Johnson: "We're so angry about it. I mean, I'm a very patient guy, but I've had it with these people. The theory we have right now -- they have a hate America rally that's scheduled for October 18 on the National Mall. It's the pro-Hamas wing and antifa people ... "

ICE is hog tying protesters in Portland and removing them on Dollies.
This is dangerous and could cause serious injury.
The Department of Homeland Security thinks it’s a joke.
They’ve shared this video with the tagline “Refuse to Walk? We’ll give you a ride”.
Stay strong Portland.

One of the more incredible stories out of LA this year has been how a taco review blog became the best on-the-ground coverage of ICE raids in the city.
They do a dispatch every day, follow-up on the kidnapped people (which almost no media outlet has done), and fact-check government claims.

@lataco.bsky.social first began as a blog documenting local Mexican cuisine. Now, it’s an essential reporting powerhouse to the city as Trump’s mass deportation plot unfolds.
