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.

@AnarchoNinaWrites
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!).

@GottaLaff

If Gov. Newsom had any guts, he would indeed call up the National Guard...to protect the protesters from the thug ICE agents.

"Ratchet up raids on peaceful people to hit impossible quotas (ICE came close, but did not meet, Miller’s 3,000 arrest quota on two days last week).

Use protests against that draconian invasion to arrest Democratic leaders and invade a blue city.

Point to the chaos created by Miller’s draconian ICE raids to demand passage of the Big Ugly bill, which will codify and expand precisely that kind of draconian ICE raid."

TRUMP IN A SHOWDOWN WITH NEWSOM >>> DEPLOYS 2,000 TROOPS TO LA: In A Federal Power Play... National Guard Troops Brought By #DonaldTrump In Under Rarely Used Law... Is It Legal?... In his second term, "The Don" starts to use martial law "Emergency Powers"....

THREATENS MILITARY ARREST OF GOVERNOR AND MAYOR... On June 7, 2025, Donald Trump signed a presidential memorandum invoking Title 10 authority to federalize 2,000 California National Guard troops and deploy them...

The crackdowns on civilians and the threat of the national guard being sent to LA should be *the* most important story right now-- not the Trump/Musk feud or whatever the f**k that was. People are being terrorized all over the country. News outlets need to get it together.

@mike This seems to be a murky question as under the Posse Comitatus Act a federalized Nation Guard would be very restricted within the US unless the Insurrection Act is invoked. However it seems likely the use of the Insurrection Act when there’s no insurrection would be struck down by the courts. What happens while that is happening though… ?
