LOS ANGELES: Stay off the streets tonight. Stay home. Stay safe.

Tom Homan says the National Guard might be deployed — and I’m telling you, he wants violence.

They’re baiting us to react so they can escalate.
Rule #1: Never protest at night. That’s when the worst happens—under cover of darkness.

Chris! Homan does NOT command the national guard! Only the governor does! Newsome will give orders not HOMAN!
Cali! You are about to find out who your governor is and by dammit! Oregon and Washington you are on notice!
Outlaw ice!

Hey Bezos just how many different ways are there for you to cave and kiss butt? A Portrait of Cowardice, really do you think that your customers might want to know the cost of tariffs or should they just suffer with them? www.politico.com/news/2025/04...
Trump dials up Bezos amid ‘hostile and political’ tariff fight with Amazon

Remember Trump's singing of The Snake. It was about "the border", "Syria", and every other boogey man he wanted to demonize at the time, when really we are finding out it is his personal autobiography.

Not only are we in danger from tariffs and the wrecking of alliances, we need to worry about who in the world is protecting our national security. Is Trump so vacant of any thoughts of his own (other than retaliation)?

I am having a hard time watching the news. I try to watch some favorite sites for short periods of time which leaves more time for reading some novels and hiking. Much easier to stay positive and recognize where i can help. Finished Aperigon, Playground, and The River We Remember. Great books.

It might be time for NY city to get a new mayor, just saying NY city has always been Trump's dream. Deep down he knows Mar-a-Largo is not in the same ballpark as NYC.

When helping a Spanish speaking 1st grader read today, I asked her how to say 5 and 10 in Spanish to help me learn (I teach, you teach tactic). 2 students beside her pipe in: she was born here, American. We are scaring our kids and that is shameful! I now need new tactic so I don't scare them too.

At Kinder/first grade class in a Hispanic, farming area. During a practice lockdown, a new student was so afraid he hid in his cubby (for backpacks), afraid to leave in case we sent him outside. An adult stayed with him, held his hand for next hour. Running from domestic abuse or Ice, Shameful.

NSA staffers for the win! 👏👏👏 When Trump’s anti-DEI orders came down & a national security museum covered plaques honoring women & people of color who were “Trailblazers” in the National Security Agency, current & former NSA staffers fought back & won! The honorary plaques are back, in full view!
NSA museum covered plaques honoring women and people of color, provoking an uproar
Following a White House anti-DEI order, the National Cryptologic Museum covered up exhibits of women and people of color in its Hall of Honor. The NSA reversed course after former employees mobilized.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy and his wife, Rachel Campos-Duffy, have a child with Down syndrome—yet he stood by while Trump attacked the disabled community.

What Trump just said was unnecessary and cruel. They are gaslighting and looking for a scapegoat once again.

He's not blaming DEI, he's blaming women and non white people.

Undocumented workers paid about $25.7 BILLION tax dollars into Social Security in 2022 while multi-billionaires like Bezos & Musk paid $0 in the past! Undocumented immigrants are often unseen heroes, working hard jobs, paying their taxes & contributing to their communities. itep.org/undocumented...

I watched Trump's entire press conference about the crash. My summary to save you the heartache of listening. 1 The planes crashed because they were at the same height (repeated at least 20 times just in case you are one of those DEI hires). 2. He doesn't have a clue why they were at same height.

We are going to need these MAGA Republican Senators to find their spines and not be a rubber stamp for Trumps cabinet picks. These nominations are inherently unqualified and unfit. Stop being so afraid of this lunatic and do your damn jobs. Looking 👀 at you Joni Ernst!
