Things are just getting ridiculous. The Trump administration announced that the Justice Department will monitor polling sites in California and New Jersey ahead of the Nov. 4 election.
Via @kqednews.kqed.org In an interview with KQED, Newsom said Trump wants to cast doubt on the Nov. 4 vote. The Department of Justice says it's sending monitors to protect the votes of "eligible American citizens."

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.
The fact that AIPAC won’t endorse me is an endorsement in and of itself.

They don’t show up like this for school shootings. People ask how the public knows ICE is there? This is how. Nothing covert about it. They do it this way to make sure the entire world knows they’re coming. A full display of terror on our streets. To instill fear in America.
The federal government is moving to take over the California National Guard and deploy 2,000 soldiers. That move is purposefully inflammatory and will only escalate tensions.
Here are some texts I got from an immigration lawyer friend of mine. Shared with permission. Some of the bleakest shit I’ve ever heard.
I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple. Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

Just like in the parks, safety comes first. - Stay with your group - Follow the signs (or in this case, the facts) - Leave no one behind - Document everything - Don’t engage alone
We remain firmly committed to nonviolence, and just as firmly committed to standing up against actions that threaten our communities.
The deployment of federalized National Guard troops to California, without consent from local or state officials, is deeply troubling. These are tactics seen in authoritarian regimes, not in America. We want to be clear, the military should not be used to police civilians.
The Los Angeles Police Department has stated that demonstrations in the city have remained peaceful. Let that sink in.
I think there’s some college students who would disagree that the president believes we can “say whatever the f*ck you want”

Thank you to everyone who showed up, good news, the judge has been released!
