Trump: "People from mental institutions and insane asylums. You know what that is? Insane asylum, that's a mental institution on steroids. During the campaign I'd talk about the late great Hannibal Lecter."

In 1923 Adolf Hitler incited an insurrection against the German government.

He was tried, given a slap on the wrist, and became a convicted felon. Despite being treated charitably by the judge, Hitler claimed the trial was political persecution and successfully portrayed himself as a victim of /1

“family members identified the victim as Narciso Barranco, a father to three sons who are all U.S. Marines”

This is not normal. A sitting president refusing to call the governor of a state after two elected officials were shot, one fatally, is beyond words. A typical president, regardless of politics, would pick up the phone. Offer condolences.

I think if you’re a lawmaker calling for U.S. military action against Iran, you should be required to post a verified video of yourself pointing it out on an unlabeled map and offering at least an undergraduate level summary of the past five years of Iranian foreign policy.

Protesters from No Kings Day are jumping fences to avoid being kettled and arrested by police in downtown L.A. One older woman in a wheelchair has been surrounded by police. ~ @shoton35mm.bsky.social

Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.

NEWSOM: "It's a vulgar display. It's the kind of thing you see with Kim Jong Un, Putin, dictators that are weak… How weak do you have to be to commandeer the military for your birthday?“

The gov of CA and the mayor of LA are duly elected by the citizens of California. Noem has no business trying to 'liberate' anything. This is a coup openly and blatantly to insert a facist regime into California.

The folks hollering about “family values” are out here tearing families apart with unlawful ICE raids, militarized police, & the weaponization of government.

All while ripping away food & healthcare from working-class families.

Are the family values in the room with us?

Breaking:
 
WASHINGTON (AP) - Health secretary removes every member of scientific committee that advises the CDC on how vaccines should be used.

RFK Jr. ousts entire CDC vaccine advisory committee Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has removed every member of a scientific committee that advises the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on how to use vaccines.

RFK Jr.‘s extreme anti-vax views — and his related conflicts of interest — were a huge problem during his confirmation process.

So he promised not to change the vaccine advisory panel.

Today, he fired every single expert on that panel. It's a public health disaster.

Calling in either the police or the military to back up ICE is weird because ICE is mostly staffed with guys who were (correctly) rejected by both the police and the military.

California Governor Gavin Newsom on President Trump:

“He's a stone cold liar…there's no working with the president. There's only working for him and I will never work for Donald Trump.”

Newsom addresses Trump directly: "Where's your decency, Mr President? Stop ... it's immoral. You're creating the conditions that you claim you're solving."

LAPD when they think nobody is watching

Booker: "We have a president who did nothing as people stormed our Capitol, & then when those people who viciously beat police & led to some of their deaths - therefore cop killers - were convicted, he pardoned them. So for him to be talking about responsive law enforcement is hypocritical at best"

Undocumented immigrants pay almost $100 billion in taxes each year.

The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes each year.

Stop pretending that immigrants are the ones taking advantage of taxpayers.

ICE is the January 6 insurrectionists all over again. Only instead of attacking law enforcement, they are pretending to *be* law enforcement. And instead of just terrorizing at the Capitol, they are doing it EVERYWHERE.

Note from a human rights lawyer to members of the U.S. military: If directed to execute illegal orders, remember, declaring “I was just following orders” was not a valid defense during the Nuremberg trials, & it won’t be here either.

Your oath is to the US Constitution—not to a 34X convicted felon.

Meiselas: As we wrote on the MeidasTouch account—Trump lit the match, poured the gasoline, and now wants to use the blaze he created as a pretext to burn it all down.

Statement from Gavin Newsom:

“The federal government is taking over the California National Guard and deploying 2,000 soldiers in Los Angeles — not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle.

Don't give them one.

Never use violence. Speak out peacefully.”

On January 6th, as police were beaten, members of Congress were hiding from a mob and America's peaceful transfer of power was threatened, Donald Trump did not call in the National Guard.

Don't be fooled by what's happening in LA: Trump is trying to spark his Reichstag fire.

This massive deportation plan is a cover to build a police state. They've already hired alt-right militia and Jan 6ers as ICE Agents and are now planning to use National Guard.

Ah yes, send armed militants to attack your own citizens. That will surely get your country to respect you.
