There have been four U.S. Presidents assassinated. 3 presidents assassinated were Republican. No insinuations or agenda in this post. But I’d bet there are folks on both sides that will use the truth to fit their narrative.
People are angry at the Charlie Kirk memorial. People are angry at the freedom of speech. People are angry at individuals who stand for lives of others trying to protect lives. People are angry at all the wrong things all at one time.
No baby should lose health care.
No senior should be kicked out of a nursing home.
No rural hospital should close.
That’s what Donald Trump and Republicans’ budget lets happen — all to make their billionaire buddies even richer.
Democrats won’t let that stand.
BREAKING: After Trump deployed Marines to LA, this military member joined an anti-ICE protest in Dallas, declaring, 'We won’t be pawns in stripping away constitutional rights.’
She would rather her city burn and citizens be put in danger than protected by our government? What kind of leadership is that? In 1992 riots, President Bush sent the military in to end those riots. Other than the president, what is the difference here? The type of riots?
I just met with LA immigrant rights community leaders as we respond to this chaotic escalation by the Administration.
Let me be absolutely clear – as a united city, we are demanding the end to these lawless attacks on our communities.
Los Angeles will always stand with EVERYONE who calls our city home.
If we think of Revelation as a book only of stories of the past or only predictions of the future we miss out on the timeless messages for right now.
Each generation faces temptations of Babylon anew. Each must choose to bend a knee to that kingdom or embrace the Kingdom of God.
I commend Senator Fetterman for having the courage to call this precisely what it is and to admit that others within his party have refused to do so.
We must work together to ensure that America is a safe place for all who are here and want to come here legally.
I unapologetically stand for free speech, peaceful demonstrations, and immigration—but this is not that.
This is anarchy and true chaos.
My party loses the moral high ground when we refuse to condemn setting cars on fire, destroying buildings, and assaulting law enforcement.
It’s interesting how the mayor of LA makes more sense than the governor of California and certain senators from the state.
Peaceful protest is Constitutional. Violent riots are illegal. There is a difference.
We will always protect the constitutional right for Angelenos to peacefully protest. However, violence, destruction and vandalism will not be tolerated in our City and those responsible will be held fully accountable.
@RepAlGreen So you’re admitting that the riots in LA is an act of insurrection?
Also- the National Guard did respond to the January 6 incident. There was a delay then, just as there was for this incident. Let’s post responsibly, and accurately.
@SenWarren You call riots in the street and burning of vehicles a protest and say they are doing so peacefully? You claimed that January 6th “protest” was “painfully clear that American democracy is seriously at risk” but this is somehow a right to “peacefully protest”.
Different perspective here: America is not trying to silence protesters- they are trying to stop rioters.
Protesting includes speech and protesting in ways that does not damage the rights and property of others. Rioters violate laws, protesters enhance them.
First they illegally deport citizens. Then they unleash ICE to terrorize communities. Now they’ve got the National Guard in L.A. to silence protestors.
This ain’t about law and order.
This is what authoritarianism looks like.
In his 2024 interview with Elon Musk, Don Lemon identified himself as an independent thinker insinuating that he was not leftist media. On his June 9th show, he demonstrated his own philosophy and dichotomy.
Why do I love the Bible? The simplicity & direct statements that tells the searcher what is really going on in the heart (and how it effects the head).
Interesting observation: those who want to tell city officials what to do & how to do it are typically the same people not volunteering to do anything.
