"To send troops into American communities for immigration enforcement not only breaks the law, but it breaks trust -- trust between the armed forces and the people we swore to protect." www.youtube.com/shorts/c11O3...

More of this. Every single one of these folks need to be holding an American flag. Or wearing one of those Old Navy flag tshirts.

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.

Groups and people who will have smart things to say about federalizing the national guard in this provocative, intentionally chilling way: @peterlucier.bsky.social, @chamberlainvets.bsky.social, Secure Families Initiative, @janessagoldbeck.bsky.social

These are the proactive steps states need to be taking right now. Another thing: every Democratic governor needs to have a sit-down now with the state adjutant general to carefully review that person's understanding of their responsibilities to their state, its citizens and the federal constitution.

I believe, unequivocally, that what the White House is doing is illegal, immoral, and a betrayal of the most basic principles of democracy. I believe if they continue on their current path they will shatter the republic. I don’t know what or how else to say it.

We @protectdemocracy.org have been saying for years “in the modern era, authoritarianism doesn’t come with tanks in the streets. It’s harder to see coming than that.” Well, we were wrong. Trump’s tanks are here. We are frogs in the water, and it’s already boiling.

Pretty clearly setting the stage to use the Insurrection Act to crack down on domestic protests within the US.

Do not initiate violence. It's extremely important that the security services have no basis for their claims that they acted out of self-defense.

If you want someone to do something that you have no power to compel, asking nicely is probably better than "demanding" it.

This is a victory for the Constitution, which guarantees that everyone gets their day in court. After refusing to obey the Supreme Court for 57 days, the pressure worked and the administration blinked. Now they have to prove, to a judge and a jury, all the claims they’ve made.

The theme of today in particular but this era in general is that everything Trump does is completely transparent in intent and eventual outcome and sane people are left sitting around and waiting for his supporters to slowly experience reality crashing on the rocks around them.

It surprises me that at this point I'm moving toward the political left. I am by instinct a principled conservative but at this point in American history the right has totally abandoned any ethical grounding that it ever had. It has become a soulless personality cult.

Today, 85 years ago: The peak of the "Miracle of Dunkirk," with ~ 70,000 British troops evacuated. The successful rescue at Dunkirk allows Britain to survive in 1940, which makes possible allied victory later. Lesson: You need to survive your Dunkirk before you can attack and win on your D-Day.
