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.

Just let this sink in:

A county of almost 10 million people declares a state of emergency because of the behavior of the federal state! 🤯

This will become more and more the reality under Trump 2.0, in which a militarized federal state occupies more and more cities (with often militarized police).

What would you say if you saw it in another country? What would you say if you had been told in 2015 that this is where we would be?
