In an email that DHS later walked back, the Homeland Security secretary asked the Pentagon to “direct the military on the ground in Los Angeles to arrest rioters.”

An LAPD helicopter claimed to have ID'ed protesters from above and threatened to "come to your house."

The threat was greeted with extreme concern by civil liberties and digital privacy groups. It suggests the LAPD could be using facial recognition to identify and retaliate against protesters.

The practice, an expert warns, could lead to "reprisals and retribution by the police for your politics.”

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem called Los Angeles a “city of criminals” and not a city of immigrants. But like its name, Los Angeles is a city of angels. We protect and look out for one another, especially the most vulnerable.

We stand in solidarity with LA and support 50501 Veterans’ calls. @50501veterans.bsky.social

Emergency protests are happening throughout the country this week. We call for protesters who are able and willing to engage in peaceful, nonviolent resistance. We will not let them win.

50501 Veterans opposes in the strongest terms and without exception the White House directive to the Departments of Defense and Homeland Security, as well as the Attorney General, authorizing the deployment of the National Guard to attack Americans peaceully exercising their 1st Amendment rights in Los Angeles, and anywhere in our country.
This unprecedented move obliterates the line between military and civilian roles under both the U.S.
Constitution and the laws of the U.S. Code - a line that should never be crossed. It is a declaration of war on the American People, by its own government.
50501 Veterans calls on:
• President Trump to rescind the order, stand down the National Guard, retreat from our streets, and promise to never again attack the American people.
• The U.S. Congress to immediately enter into Emergency Session to take swift action to ensure the President and Cabinet abides by the Constitution and the existing applicable laws under U.S.
Code, including the Posse Comitatus Act.
• The Judicial Branch - at every level, including the Supreme Court - to immediately rule in favor of Constitutional challenges brought against this blatantly illegal attempt to suppress the 1st Amendment rights of the American People.
We swore an oath to our country to support and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. We will not be complicit in eviscerating the Constitution. Our nation was founded in 1776 based on the very idea that no tyrant should be allowed to do so.
50501 Veterans will continue to speak out against this move to usurp the U.S. Constitution and Federal laws, and also to provide guidance, resources and support to our Active Duty, Reserve and National Guard service members on their rights, duties and obligations under those laws Please check our website for additional information on this egregious breach of our Constitution by President Trump and his administration.

Pipe down, KKKaroline.

Hunter Dunn @hunterisntdunn.bsky.social · Jun 8

I was there, Karoline. The only “violent mob” is ICE, who is “illegally invading” SoCal and attacking its residents.

LA will not take this lying down.

No Kings

On June 14—Flag Day—Donald Trump wants tanks in the street and a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday. A spectacle meant to look like strength. But real power isn’t staged in Washington. ...

"He knows where to find me. Come after me. Arrest me."

Gotta love this response by Newsom to the threat of Homan arresting him and Mayor Bass for trying to prevent military troops from being deployed in LA.

Contrast that with Los Angeles, where I’ve been since Thursday, and which has been entirely quiet and calm, everywhere we’ve driven around, from Hollywood to downtown, except … and this is important … where ICE has shown up

Four days in Los Angeles and all I saw was SOCAL normality ... until ICE showed up.

The legacy media's false narrative is intentional and strategic to aid Trump's fascist agenda. SHARE THE TRUTH WIDELY!

BRING AMERICAN FLAGS AND CALIFORNIA FLAGS TO THESE PROTESTS ‼️🇺🇸🇺🇸 people need to bring American flags to these protests so we can get the imagery of ICE and the national guard attacking someone holding the flag ‼️‼️‼️‼️

ICE raided Los Angeles elementary schools in an attempt to kidnap small children. They hid their identities, claimed they weren't ICE, & lied to school authorities that they had "permission" from the parents to take the children out. School officials luckily didn't fall for it. #cdnpoli
