ICE is gearing up to deploy to these blue cities:
Chicago, NYC, the DC area, Seattle, and Philly.
If any of these are your hometowns—get ready.
If not—watch anyway, all the way through, because Trump’s unhinged order will affect you. Spread the word.
This story leaves me feeling both sad and heart-warmed.
THIS: “She decided to do this in her own terms. She has no criminal record. A hardworking taxpayer who’s been working 12-hour shifts since she was 15, six days out of the week. She never asked for a handout. She didn’t get food stamps…”
In a prime time address, Gov. Gavin Newsom of California sharply criticized President Trump for sending in the military to handle the protests in Los Angeles. Read a transcript of his full remarks. https://trib.al/hufkabG
CNN’s Jason Carroll was zip-tied and escorted away—for reporting the news. But they claimed he wasn’t under arrest?
Why are they shooting rubber bullets at and silencing journalists? We still have a First Amendment.
I just got back from Los Angeles.
Here's what's happening, how Trump is fanning the flames, and where we go from here:

Strangely, Roberts doesn’t name the “democracies” that, he says, shoot protesters.
Correct.
This is superficially similar to the 1960s. (I was there.)
This is more like 1933. (Reichstag fire.)
It's been really demoralizng how much the press mindlessly repeats the lie that the National Guard was sent to quell violence.
It was sent to start violence. People know this, so just say it.
Gov. Gavin Newsom made the case in a televised address Tuesday evening that President Trump’s decisions to send military forces to immigration protests in Los Angeles have put the U.S. at the precipice of authoritarianism. https://trib.al/EpbF098
"The normalization of routine and open-ended deployment of the military at home requires that the public become accustomed to this departure from historic practice."
Today Trump went further down the path of nomralizing the politicization of the military.
Awful.

This happened live on the show today. Independent journalist Jorge Ramos caught up with a pregnant U.S. citizen who told us she was roughed up and arrested by federal agents during a detainment near Los Angeles. Watch!
LA: Your voice matters.
Trump is trying to provoke chaos by sending 4,000 soldiers onto American soil.
Foolish agitators who take advantage of Trump’s chaos will be held accountable.
Stay safe. Stay calm. Look out for one another.
I stand with #CaliforniaGoverner
This is a superb speech by @governor.ca.gov just now.
Clear. Strong. Simple. Direct. Angry—in a way that appeals to the best in people, not the worst. Seven plus minutes of the most effective rhetoric in response to Trump.
This is how you want a leader to talk.

Donald Trump wants to be a strongman.
So he’s abusing taxpayer resources to appear that way. And he’s abusing the military.
Anything but what he was elected to do — make life more affordable for American families.
I love this so much!
Austin, Texas in solidarity with LA. 🙏🏽❤️
#Trump is not opposed to lawlessness when it serves his interests #January6th #FascistTrump #DumpTrump
@pelosi.house.gov: "On January 6th...we begged the president of the United States to send in the National Guard. He would not do it...And yet, in a contra-constitutional way, he has sent the National Guard into California. Something is very wrong with this picture."
Truth-tellers, not rioters. Protect these two men at all costs.
“You feel tough with your assault rifles and your sticks. You should be standing here with us. You’re on the wrong side of history.”
“John Lewis said make good trouble… that means make trouble on behalf of democracy.”
Stop sowing chaos, Mr. President, and do your job.
EXCLUSIVE: ActBlue is firing back at a House GOP investigation into its workings.
The Dem online fundraising platform says the probe appears to be an unconstitutional abuse of power to help the White House.
“.. California Gov. Gavin Newsom condemned the raids, calling them ‘chaotic federal sweeps’ that aimed to fill an ‘arbitrary arrest quota.’”

Better safe than sorry…
🚨Heavy ICE Presence Expected in Los Angeles on Sunday. A bilingual warning is being shared with the community — including areas to avoid.
Stay alert. Protect each other. Know your rights.
When the LA police says you are overreaching, you are overreaching.
