Trump has weaponized us against each other
McMorrow: What Trump has done is weaponize us against each other, when everybody needs hospitals, good schools, and health care.

It has become this battle for scarcity, when we’re the wealthiest country in the world. We should not be fighting each other for our basic needs.

So…

People seem to think that we’re just done now? We bombed the shit out of three nuclear sites in a country we weren’t at war with, and that’s just… it?

Oh, my sweet summer children.

Are you sure about that, Mr. President?

Farmers are witnessing firsthand that between 25% and 45% of workers have stopped showing up since your raids began this month.

Don’t think your logic is adding up.

Farmworkers are hiding because Trump made them targets.

Without farmworkers, the crops that feed our nation rot and our tables go empty.

This isn’t strong immigration policy — it’s economic sabotage fueled by hate.

"I cannot say this strongly enough: until 2026, only two things stand between the authoritarian project and its objectives: the judiciary and a popular protest movement. We have no control over the former. We must not surrender, or abandon, the latter."
To understand this weekend, you need to understand who the audiences for both the parade and the protests are. www.thebulwark.com/p/no-kings-n...
No Kings. No Surrender.
Shows of force can work both ways.

Political violence is wrong, and it’s meant to intimidate, scare, and silence people. Don’t let it. Don’t be afraid. Don’t be silenced. Speak your piece. Protest. Protest peacefully.

Dealing with law enforcement can be stressful, so it’s important to know your rights before you’re face-to-face with ICE agents.

While there’s never any guarantee that law enforcement officers will follow the law, here’s what they can and can’t legally do to you and what you can legally demand. ⤵️

This is an important reminder: even the LAPD acknowledged yesterday that everything was peaceful.

Then Trump brought the chaos.

He is responsible.

I just have to say for those of you not in LA that in the days before the horrible raids started, there was no crisis or whatever they would let you believe. It wasn't like something was escalating out of control and somebody had to step in. THEY are creating the problems.

Los Angeles is not a war zone. We are not descending into chaos and lawlessness. We’re a great city full of good people. We don’t need the National Guard.

The rule of law is all or nothing and must apply equally to everyone. If there's no rule of law for some people in America, then there's no rule of law for any of us.
