To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Los Angeles County declares state of emergency over immigration raids

Los Angeles County officials voted on Tuesday to declare a state of emergency over ongoing federal immigration raids.

Federal Secret Police and plainclothes ICE agents kidnap multiple people from a neighborhood in Chicago. They then deploy teargas and brutally beat neighbors who come out to express their concern.

If all fails, federal tax resistance should be the next step, however complicated. WE, THE PEOPLE pay for his shenanigans. We actually pay our tormentors. We give them our money to exploit and harass US All. That simple fact angers me! Badly.

Here’s the deal, Mike Johnson, you worked 9 days since July, make $200K, and get best free healthcare we pay for, while shutting down ours.

Want it fair? Start with your paychecks. No work, no pay and no damn free healthcare for any of you. Let Congress feel the pain they dump on the rest of us.

NEW: Despite falling crime rates, leaders at a nonprofit argued Dallas was descending into anarchy to sell voters on increasing police.

Some residents now fear the push could be used as a playbook for other cities.

A Year Before Trump’s Crime Rhetoric, Dallas Voted to Increase Police. The City Is Wrestling With the Consequences.

Leaders at Dallas HERO argued the city was descending into anarchy despite falling violent crime rates. Residents, including some law enforcement officials and at least one prominent Trump supporter, fear the push could be used as a playbook.
