They just can't wait to call out military troops to suppress political dissent. They've been chomping at the bit to do this since they lost in 2020.

I hope people appreciate that it’s a big deal for the LAPD to emphasize that peaceful protest should be protected. This attitude has not always been the case: in June 2020, I was arrested for walking in downtown LA with BLM while singing “This Little Light of Mine” half an hour past curfew.

they're doing this because the Insurrection Act sounds cool and edgy but they can't actually justify using the Insurrection Act. it's a silly action by an insecure administration desperately to seem manly and powerful. it should be criticized relentlessly, but it should also be laughed at.

There were a few hundred people protesting the ICE actions in California today. Most probably lived in the neighborhood that had been raided by armed, uniformed men who looked like soldiers and not police. The idea that the response to this 2,000 National Guard is fucking insane.

You have to admit, it's a pretty brilliant strategy. Trump can't find enough "illegal" immigrants to deport so he makes legal ones illegal and then he can deport them. Who said the guy wasn't sharp?

This may be as much about developing pretext for Insurrection Act as it is about trying to get the numbers up for massive deportation. This is Stephen Miller's war on America, and he is quite comfy with being wildly unpopular. He's been a dick his entire life. Will Trump care? Tis the question

Can’t shake the thought that having all this matériel in DC and provoking anti-ICE riots in LA, Chicago, and gods-know-where would make a handy little setup for declaring martial law. Meh, it’s probably nothing. 😬

Big news from Syria where Rukban camp has officially been closed. The camp had been established in 2014 to house those fleeing IS fighters and Assad bombardment. Assad had consistently blocked food and aid from getting in. Around 8,000 lived there at the time of Assad's fall.
