Evening all. My friend Leon Krauze got caught up in reporting on the protests in Los Angeles and wasn’t able to make our Live event this afternoon. So I just took the time to share my latest take on things with those who joined the livestream, which I now share with all of you, above.
A few key points:
1 - As I wrote in my post this morning, I’ve come to believe that the physic injury Trump (and perhaps Stephen Miller too) received from Musk so aggressively turning on them last week has caused the two of them to lash out, escalate and essentially lose their shit. They needed to be “strong” again. And so here we are.
2- The bringing in of the military is a sign that their grand immigration strategy isn’t working. They’ve learned DHS/ICE isn’t equipped and capable of removing the 10-15m immigrants they want removed; folks are not leaving voluntarily; and by ratcheting up the terror campaign - THE MARINES - they hope to drive people to “self-deport” or leave voluntarily. We are now at the point where our government is literally terrorizing tens of millions of hard working Americans as a matter of strategy.
3 - What can we do? Call your Senators and Rep and demand they fight Trump’s insane and illegal escalation of the past few days. Contact your local party and Dems and encourage them to hold solidarity press conferences defending the State of California as this escalation/attack is not just on California and Los Angeles - it is on all of us, the United States. Every elected Democrat in the country should be talking to their constituents about what is happening here, and why it matters to them.
4 - Governor Newsom is rising to the moment, and doing a great job.
5 - New polling today shows Trump’s approval dropping, and broad disapproval of his immigration escalation. More on that here.
Know we are throwing a lot at you right now, but we are in a national emergency, and we need to keep fighting all. Enjoy this new discussion, keep working hard and catch you all tomorrow - Simon
