“ Gov. Gavin Newsom on Sunday afternoon formally asked that President Donald Trump rescind the deployment.

"We didn’t have a problem until Trump got involved," Newsom said on social media. "This is a serious breach of state sovereignty — inflaming tensions while pulling resources from where they’re actually needed."

At an evening news conference, L.A. Mayor Karen Bass said she supported Newsom's request, adding that she had tried to dissuade the Trump administration from sending in the troops.

"The last thing this city needs is civil unrest that is provoked," she said.

Cops nailed an Australian reporter live on camera with a rubber bullet, in case you're wondering if Australians are going to want to visit the US anytime soon. (probably deliberately, they are not supposed to randomly fire into the crowd but pick a target who they deem a threat)

(Update: video plainly shows the nearest cop deciding to nail the reporter in the leg with "nonlethal" (less lethal) ammo, on camera)

President Zelenskyy:

We counted on 20,000 missiles for #Ukraine to fight Shahed drones [promised by the previous US administration].

The United States now moved them to the Middle East."

He explained that the deliveries had been agreed upon with the Biden administration. They were anti-drone missiles.

Europe must finally stop pinning its hopes on Trump – Trump is aiding putin's genocide against Ukrainians. His actions reveal everything.

Trump is a filthy traitor.

Let the record show that the anti ICE protests were far less destructive or widespread than when the Lakers win a championship. The militarized federal law enforcement response is unquestionably what led to these escalations. The timeline of events proves it.

OMG, Fox is sure to mock him relentlessly, like they mocked Biden, right, Fox, RIGHT?!!

#la #LosAngeles stood for Rodney King in 1992. They are standing for immigrants in 2025. #news #Politics

@Nonilex Nixon did it, and here we go again, turn a protest into an armed confrontation where innocent citizens get injured.

Flash bangs, "rubber bullets," and tear gas.

If Governor Newsom wants to restore some of his newly tarnished reputation, he should deploy some of California's National Guard, go with them to the front lines, and FACE the federalized military to protect the protestors.

🔥 WATCH: “Courage is contagious— It’s time to rise up as a generation.” Rep. @brotherjones.bsky.social tells @alivelshi Trump’s overreaction shows weakness, and people need to keep showing up. Velshi: “That was the B-12 shot democracy needed this morning.” Full: www.msnbc.com/ali-velshi/w...

#Trump just spoke to reporters. During questioning about what #NationalGuard #troops were authorized to do he said:

“If they spit, we hit.”

That is 100% NOT how law enforcement is supposed to respond.

The #UseOfForce is limited by #proportionality.

And today he's saying that they quelled the looting that was happening with the national guard stepping in, and masks should never be allowed at protests.

NG hadn't reached LA.
There was no looting at all ( they didn't even damage the home depot).
None of the protestors were wearing masks, though they should have ( ton of tear gas).
ICE was all wearing masks, because of course.

Also, a lot of protestors are apparently in film school. Great footage (intentionally!).
