People need to understand something. There is no DOJ, FBI or DOD. There are entities—the DOJ and FBI—run by Trump’s personal attorneys, who see their agents as a weapon for Trump to wield against his enemies, and there is an alcoholic who’s been open about wanting a white Christian fascist nation.

The federal government is taking over the California National Guard and deploying 2,000 soldiers in Los Angeles — not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle. Don't give them one. Never use violence. Speak out peacefully.
