President Donald Trump’s deployment of the National Guard to Los Angeles to stop protests against his immigration crackdown isn’t the first time an elected U.S. official has sent troops to thwart unrest over civil rights. What to know about the history of deployments

This isn’t like any of the prior instances. This time, the protests are a direct response to Trump’s lies and possibly illegal actions.

Disinformation has spread widely on social media as protests against ICE raids have unfolded in Los Angeles, rehashing old conspiracy theories and expressing support for President Trump’s actions.

It sounds like this is all being done by the right wing. Your post and headline should say that. Maybe something like "Disinformation has been spread widely by right-wing posters on social media…"

These days, it feels like every time there's a protest, the old clickbaity "pallets of bricks" hoax shows up right on cue. You know the one, photos or videos of bricks supposedly left out to encourage rioting. It's catnip for right-wing agitators and grifters.

This happened 2 months ago. It’s just rage-farming to push merch. Plenty of awful stuff is happening right now; there's no need to recycle old stories like they’re breaking news. This only adds to the noise & confusion, & that’s exactly how disinfo & distrust spread. archive.is/2025.04.18-2…

Twitter was getting intolerable. I was tired of personal insults fromMAGA people who don’t know me. They think it’s alright because that’s how their cult leader behaves. I never insulted them – I don’t know them.

— Harris Levy (@harrislevy.bsky.social) 2025-06-08T20:44:44.436Z

The last straw was the person who said I had cognitive issues. Earlier, I was (wrongly) accused of being a 60 year old version. The MAGA people never expressed positions on the issues I posted about.

As LA protests expand, so does misinformation. This evening Sen. Ted Cruz shared a video from 2020 as if it was from today. Many of the false and misleading posts I'm seeing are from folks trying to lump peaceful protesters and violent rioters together.

Will CNN ban Cruz for posting misinformation? They should. I stopped watching CNN and other networks because they have liars as guests.

The Trump administration's purge of the federal workforce and its push to eliminate DEI efforts may be contributing to the growing jobless rate for Black women.

In early May, Trump fired Carla Hayden, the first Black woman to run the Library of Congress, part of a pattern of purging women and Black people from leadership positions.

Black women have every right to be furious. The irresponsible choices of white voters has for many of us, taken our livelihood with consequences for our homes, the education of our children, our ability to care for parents. It’s unconscionable.www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/u…

The rising Black women's unemployment rate is no accident.It's a result of Trump’s fiscally irresponsible anti-DEI policy & attack on federal workers—& it's hurting our economy.The Fed must respond by upholding its mandate of maximum employment & ensure our economy works for all.
