From Josh Marshall:
Digging Into Trump’s Attack on the State of California
June 9, 2025 1:22 p.m.
National Guard troops are mobilized fairly frequently for domestic purposes, usually during natural disasters. Having them federalized isn’t that uncommon. But having them federalized over the objections of a state’s civil authorities is extremely uncommon and hasn’t happened in more than half a century. As this was unfolding over the weekend, I knew generally that this had last happened under LBJ as a part of enforcement of federal law during the Civil Rights Era. But I didn’t remember that the last time was specifically during the Selma-to-Montgomery March in March 1965. I was reminded of this this morning by a piece in NOTUS. This 2016 piece in Politico gives the specific details of how and why the federalization took place, which are interesting in themselves. A federal judge ruled that the march was protected under the First Amendment and that the state was responsible for ensuring its safety. Wallace refused to use state police power to do that, thus deliberately forcing Johnson’s hands (Johnson was pissed), figuring that he would gain politically if federal troops got into violent in encounters with anti-civil rights counter-protestors. As it happened, the larger spectacle was a key part of building momentum for the passage of the Voting Rights Act that August.
It’s easy to make too much of the ironies or contrasts history presents us with. But the contrast and ironies here are particularly potent. A crowning moment of the Civil Rights movement versus Trump’s intentionally inflammatory immigration raids on … Home Depots. (It gets somewhat lost in all the other high octane dimensions of this story that a raid on a Home Depot is literally an effort to arrest people who are eager to work and whose labor is in great demand. It’s about as far as you can get from just going after the bad guys, as the White House routinely claims.) But there’s a more specific point: all the federalizations during the Civil Rights Era were over the refusal of segregationist state governments to enforce federal law under court order. Trump’s argument is much different — and this is literally their argument, not one I’m imputing to them: It’s the right of the President to decide when a state government isn’t protecting or enforcing civil order to his liking and to intervene with federalized National Guard or the U.S. military to do it at the point of a bayonet. Beyond all of our correct fears about Trump’s budding autocracy, this is in a very direct sense an attack on the sovereignty of the people of California.
Many people have at least some background discomfort about invoking “states’ rights” or “state sovereignty,” given their historical usages in American history. That’s a big topic going forward as Trump and his movement increasingly use the powers of the federal government to go to war against blue states. But even in the context of the earlier history, the details here are critical to understand: it’s not just a matter of … well, civil rights are good and this isn’t. The U.S. government is built on a structure of dual sovereignties, with states generally operating at the local and state government level, and the federal government on the national level. Just where those lines of state and federal legal authority are marked has been a subject of ongoing debate for going on two centuries. Where state and federal law conflict, federal law is supreme. But as long as states (which for these purposes means state and local government) are operating within federal law, they are fully sovereign in their domain. And this isn’t “sovereign” in some airy textbook sense or perhaps the cringey way you might imagine it coming off the lips of a Boss Hogg-type figure out of the unreconstructed South. It’s the sovereign right of the people of California to self-government. It’s as simple as that. They elected a governor. Angelenos elected a mayor. They control the policing forces of the state and how they choose to manage what can only be called minor public disturbances, at best, are entirely questions for them to decide.
This is really of a piece with Trump’s brazen and unlawful drive to shutter congressional-created parts of the government, withhold funding appropriated by Congress. We talk rightly about the importance of following the law. But we should remember that the law is simply the codified expression of popular sovereignty operating through the mechanism created by the U.S. Constitution.
It’s all of a piece. In America, the people are sovereign. We have no kings.
WE.HAVE.NO.KING.

Texas prepares National Guard for protests as Georgia threatens domestic terror charges
The remarks come ahead of planned protests this week across the country.
ByTristan Maglunog and Kevin Shalvey
June 11, 2025, 10:31 AM
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said he was deploying the Texas National Guard to multiple locations across the state to “ensure peace and order.”
The deployment comes ahead of planned protests this week in Texas, including in San Antonio.
A statement from Abbott’s office obtained by ABC News’ affiliate KSAT confirmed the deployment, saying Guardsmen were ready to “uphold law and order across our state.”
“Peaceful protests are part of the fabric of our nation, but Texas will not tolerate the lawlessness we have seen in Los Angeles,” Abbott’s office said in a statement. “Anyone engaging in acts of violence or damaging property will be swiftly held accountable to the full extent of the law.”
Abbott’s move comes amid the escalating protests in Los Angeles, where activists have been protesting the Trump administration’s immigration policies.

Southern California boy deported to Honduras following ICE detainment

Updated: Jun 10, 2025 / 10:58 PM PDT
A Southern California fourth grader who was detained by immigration officials was deported and is now living with his father in Honduras.
Martir Garcia Lara, 9, is adjusting to his new life in the small town of Temputitalpa.
“I was scared to come here,” he shared in an interview with Univision.
Lara was a student at Torrance Elementary School whose detainment sparked outrage from teachers and community members who knew the boy.
On May 29, he attended an immigration hearing in downtown Los Angeles with his father, Martir Garcia-Banegas, 50.
Instead of receiving an update on their immigration status, the boy and his father were detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). After a short separation, the next day, they were transferred to an immigration facility in Texas with plans to deport them to Honduras.

Brian Wilson, The Beach Boys Co-Founder and Singer, Dies at 82
The music icon helped define the “California sound” with the American rock ‘n’ roll boy band he formed with his family members and a friend
By Stacy Lambe Published on June 11, 2025 12:54PM EDT
Brian Wilson, the pop music genius and singer who co-founded the Beach Boys, has died. He was 82.
The musician’s family announced his death on Wednesday, June 11 in an Instagram post featuring a recent photo of the star smiling on a bench.
“We are heartbroken to announce that our beloved father Brian Wilson has passed away,” the statement read. “We are at a loss for words right now. Please respect our privacy at this time as our family is grieving. We realize that we are sharing our grief with the world. Love & Mercy.”
Described by PEOPLE in 1975 as the “formative genius of the group,” Wilson served as the rock band’s songwriter and co-lead vocalist and also played bass guitar and keyboard alongside brothers, Dennis and Carl Wilson, cousin Mike Love and friend Al Jardine, who all were part of the original lineup.

Florida child welfare officials transferred a 17-year-old Honduran foster child, known as Henry, to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, prompting strong backlash over concerns it could discourage immigrant communities from seeking help. The teen, potentially a labor trafficking victim, was taken from his Pensacola foster home in shackles—an act critics say may violate longstanding state child protection policies and undermine efforts to safeguard vulnerable youth

If you still support Trump’s mass deportations, ask yourself why.
-They aren’t rounding up hardened criminals.
-They’re grabbing people who did everything the right way, like you’re constantly telling them to.
-They’re grabbing people who’ve been here for decades, paid their taxes, and caused no problems.
-They’re separating families and detaining children.
None of this is making America safer. It won’t be good for the economy either, and Trump has already made a mess of that.
-GDP shrank last quarter.
-Jobless claims have risen.
-25% of America is unemployed or underemployed.
-Our trading partners have been pushed away and hit with tariffs, which are increasing prices for us.
-Countries are moving away from the dollar as a trading currency.
-Our credit rating has been downgraded.
-The debt is rising faster.
-Consumer Sentiment is low.
Immigrants are a big reason the US economy rebounded strongly from the pandemic.
-In 2022 alone, immigrants added at least $2.2 trillion to the US economy through earnings and productivity increases.
-Undocumented immigrants paid $100 billion in federal, state, and local taxes in 2022, including Social Security, which they pay into but can’t take from.
And they make up a significant portion of the workforce.
-1 in 6 workers in America are immigrants. 25% of those are undocumented.
-17% of the Agriculture workforce is undocumented immigrants, along with 26% of farming specifically and over 50% of hired farmhands.
-Also, 15% of workers in construction, 9% in hospitality, 6% in manufacturing, and 6% in transportation are undocumented immigrants.
-Immigrants are more likely to be the prime working age of 25-54, whereas native-born Americans are an aging population.
-This is because America’s birth rate has been below the replacement rate since the 1970s. Without immigrants, America’s population would have been shrinking for 50 years, and a shrinking population would destroy our economy.
Nothing about these raids is good for our country or you. It is time to realize that Trump is hurting our economy and intentionally sowing civil unrest.

Dallas is America’s most conservative big city. It’s the Citadel of the Far Right. It’s where QAnon holds conventions. It’s where Flynn hinted at a coup of the Biden administration. It’s where Trump’s most radical megadonors are.
It’s where I’d most fear a pretextual Kent State.

This is all just a prelude to his Military Parade so he can puff his fat-azz chest out and say look I saved Los Angeles from the “illegals” and “criminals”.
We are living in a reality show and the media is complicit in it. So are people being so gullible to propaganda.

An impossible problem that Democrats face the is fact that they pay the electoral penalty for actions by activists who openly hate Democrats, do note vote for and do not support Democrats, but whom the public still associates with Democrats anyway.

The “They’re coming for Black people”
crowd seems to be really concerned about our safety don’t they?
And yet told people not to vote for Biden or Harris or didn’t vote at all.
Funny how you reap what you sow.

I’m old enough to remember all the tweets of how making sure VP Harris lose would make Black people suffer, it was their target. So as I have stated since Nov. 5th, I’m going to sit back and let them teach me a lesson.

What “we’ve” done by putting trump back into the White House is tantamount to the United States electing Jefferson Davis or Robert E. Lee as President after Abe Lincoln was assassinated. I put “we’ve” in quotation marks because millions of us didn’t vote for that shitweasel.

JUST IN: Protesters swarmed a law enforcement vehicle in Nebraska during a massive immigration raid at Glenn Valley Foods near Omaha.
The crowd tried to block federal agents from leaving after they reportedly detained over 100 undocumented immigrants in one of the largest single-site arrests this year.
Tensions are rising across the country as protests erupt everywhere.

America’s a rolling disaster b/c White supremacists are in power. Stop omitting that detail from your hot takes. The GOP isn’t just usurping power for power’s sake, they’re doing it for the purpose of upholding White patriarchy/theocracy/supremacy, indefinitely. Tell the truth.

This isn’t governance, it’s a glorified Klan rally. Stop letting them hide behind the gamesmanship and banality of “political strategy” when every abuse of power they commit is a *promise* to abuse & destroy actual human beings. Every end they seek is an apartheid and a genocide.

How the hell does Terry Moran get fired for telling the truth about Stephen Miller, but Jake Tapper is still employed — and celebrated — at CNN after slandering Joe Biden nonstop?
Make it make sense. 🤷

This ACIP destruction by RFK Jr will result in the disproportionate agonizing deaths of Black and Brown children. He has no medical science expertise whatsoever, but is allowed to make policy to kill our children like he did those Samoan kids just cause he has conspiracy theories
