“Salivating, calling for the murder of protesters”. That’s what MAGHATS on Fox News comments are doing. The sickness in these people will consume this country and everyone in it

The Trump admin trying to take over the CA National Guard and deploy troops in LA is reckless and inflammatory. There’s no unmet need, and this will only escalate tensions and erode public trust.

1/ If accurate, this is almost certainly a conflict with the Posse Comitatus Act, which prohibits the use of the military for domestic law enforcement, including the National Guard if they are federalized.

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.

Sending active-duty Marines into U.S. cities is illegal under the Posse Comitatus Act—unless the president invokes the Insurrection Act. The fact that Trump might do exactly that to grab power is something I can’t believe we even have to consider.

President Trump's deployment of federalized National Guard troops is unnecessary, inflammatory, and an abuse of power. The Trump administration is putting people in LA in danger and undermines the democratic principle that the military should not police civilians. www.reuters.com/world/us/whi...

Just to recap, Trump has taken the extraordinary step of federalizing 2000 member of the California National Guard — over the objections of the state’s governor — in response to a protest that currently involves A FEW DOZEN PEOPLE AT A HOME DEPOT

Via "One First," my quick write-up of President Trump's "Presidential Memorandum" purporting to federalize 2000 California National Guard troops; the relevant legal authorities for doing so; and how the move is both a modest and dangerous escalation of what's going on in and around Los Angeles:

The importance of protestors in LA remaining nonviolent could not be more important. Trump is wildly and dangerously overreacting to what has transpired thus far. That must be visible for all Americans to see in what follows.

#ProudBlue There is NO looting & ICE is inciting the small & I mean small riots. I wouldn’t even consider them riots. This post by Yam Tits is nothing but lies! They are just trying to invoke the Insurrection Act, so they can finish implementing Project 2025 as planned.

JD Vance now wants to use the chaos ICE is causing in Los Angeles as pretext to pressure politicians to pass the Republican budget bill that will saddle Americans with trillions of dollars of debt, skyrocket the deficit, take away people’s healthcare, and give massive tax breaks to the wealthy.

It’s provocation. LA didn’t ask for the National Guard. We don’t need it, and won’t be safer because of it. Stay home, everyone.

Hell of a sentence from the guy who valorized & pardoned violent criminality against Capitol Police on the job: "The Trump Administration has a zero tolerance policy for criminal behavior and violence, especially when that violence is aimed at law enforcement officers trying to do their jobs."

The recent ICE raids across California are part of Trump’s relentless, cruel war on immigrants. It was never about only targeting violent criminals. It’s fear over facts. It’s cruelty over policy. But let’s be clear we’re not backing down. I will keep fighting back to hold Trump accountable.

When Hitler couldn’t defeat Britain, he bombed residential areas. When Stalin couldn’t defeat Finland, he bombed residential areas. Putin cannot defeat Ukraine. He is bombing residential areas. All fascists are alike. When they can't win on the front, they kill innocent civilians. 🇺🇦 ❤️‍🔥

Feel like the news reporting on this is very lazy. What national guard is Homan (a thug gangster if there ever was one) deploying exactly? The CA national guard is under the authority of Gov Newsom. Trump cld nationalize the guard. But we're not hearing anything abt that.
