Day 3, unrest continues in Los Angeles against immigration raids. Most protests are peaceful. But some agitators destroy property. Pink benches from Grand Park are used as a barricade. LAPD advance with tear gas, flash bangs to move the demonstrators back. A protester prays for peace. @latimes.com

SURPRISE!!!! The NYT did an analysis of the press room and exposes how Karoline Leavitt relies on planted stooges in the room to throw propaganda soft balls she uses to lie to the public. This is how authoritarian states are run.

I needed to hear this. Maybe you do too. “Fear has a way of being contagious… courage is also contagious.” — Kamala Harris Man, I miss her.
AP is banned by Trump from WH pool, while this is happening:
Will Sommer@willsommer.bsky.social · last yr.Right-wing YouTuber Tim Pool has made it to the White House pool — someone from his “Timcast” channel will be part of today’s pool duty covering the president. Last year, DOJ revealed Pool was receiving millions of dollars from the Russian gov. Pool says he didn’t know where it was coming from.
Let's be clear: Trump visiting the DOJ today is NOT NORMAL. He will use this time to threaten his enemies with deploying the DOJ against them and to declare that he is weaponizing the federal government against his opponents.
Just going to leave this here should it become useful to anyone…
I appreciate everyone’s messages of support, I’m trying to get through all my mentions but as you can imagine, it’s been a bit of a busy day :) Remember - peaceful civil disobedience, and no kings, no tyrants. Not ever.

When the fire starts to burn, every good person better be ready to man a post with a bucket of water if you want to stop it from raging out of control.

JD Vance - If you believe any of the multiple federal courts that have ruled against you so far are exceeding their statutory or Constitutional authority, your recourse is to appeal. You don’t get to rage-quit the Republic just because you are losing. That’s tyranny.

I support this. Elon Musk cannot dismantle USAID without an act of Congress. Democrats must use every lever at our disposal to block his illegal takeover and shutdown of an essential government agency.
