Today’s blog will focus primarily on the protests occuring in Los Angeles, other cities, our state’s response to them, and The Fascist Felon’s War on California and the USA. I have also included other headlines unrelated to the focused events. But, feel free to share what you have as long as your headlines come from credible sources.

Dallas:
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott to deploy National Guard across the state in response to protests
The move comes ahead of a planned protest in San Antonio and follows days of protest in L.A. and across the nation.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott said he’ll deploy the National Guard to locations across the state “to ensure peace and order,” ahead of a planned protest in San Antonio.
“Peaceful protest is legal. Harming a person or property is illegal & will lead to arrest. @TexasGuard will use every tool & strategy to help law enforcement maintain order,” he wrote on X late Tuesday evening local time.

Trump team plans to send thousands of migrants to Guantanamo starting as soon as this week
The use of the facility would send another signal of deterrence amid immigration crackdown.
The Trump administration is planning to dramatically ramp up sending undocumented migrants to Guantanamo Bay starting this week, with at least 9,000 people being vetted for transfer, according to documents obtained by POLITICO.
That would be an exponential increase from the roughly 500 migrants who have been held for short periods at the base since February and a major step toward realizing a plan President Donald Trump announced in January to use the facility to hold as many as 30,000 migrants.
The War on the Democratic Party:
Rep. LaMonica McIver indicted on federal charges over clash with law enforcement at ICE facility in New Jersey
The interim U.S. attorney for New Jersey, Alina Habba, said the Democratic lawmaker, who plans to plead not guilty, was indicted on three counts of interfering with law enforcement.
Rep. LaMonica McIver, D-N.J., was indicted Tuesday on federal charges stemming from a confrontation with law enforcement at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center in Newark last month.
The interim U.S. attorney for New Jersey, Alina Habba, said on X that a federal grand jury indicted McIver on three counts of “forcibly impeding and interfering with federal law enforcement officers.”
“While people are free to express their views for or against particular policies, they must not do so in a manner that endangers law enforcement and the communities those officers serve,” Habba wrote.
The War on Our Free Press:
ABC journalist Terry Moran out at network after social media post about Stephen Miller
ABC News said it wasn’t renewing Moran’s contract after he wrote on social media that Miller is a “world-class hater,” a description he also applied to Trump.
ournalist Terry Moran is out at ABC News after he called top White House official Stephen Miller a “world-class hater” whose “hatreds are his spiritual nourishment” on social media.
ABC News said Tuesday that it was not renewing Moran’s contract because of the post.
“We are at the end of our agreement with Terry Moran and based on his recent post — which was a clear violation of ABC News policies — we have made the decision to not renew,” a spokesperson for the network said in a statement.

GOP Sen. Josh Hawley introduces bill to raise federal minimum wage to $15 per hour
It’s an unusual move for a Republican, as the party has thwarted previous attempts by Democrats to increase the nationwide wage floor.
Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., introduced a bill with Sen. Peter Welch, D-Vt., on Tuesday to raise the federal minimum wage to $15 per hour, making him a rare congressional Republican to endorse the historically liberal cause.
The Higher Wages for American Workers Act would set the nationwide minimum wage to $15 on Jan. 1 of the first year after it is enacted and raise it annually on the basis of inflation.
“This is a populist position,” Hawley told NBC News in the Capitol on Tuesday. “If we’re going to be a working people’s party, we have to do something for working people. And working people haven’t gotten a raise in years. So they need a raise.”
The federal minimum wage, $7.25, hasn’t been raised since 2009. Democratic presidents and lawmakers have since tried to raise it, but each time they failed to clear the 60-vote threshold to break filibusters in the Senate.
