The regime is looking to provoke violence so they have an excuse to invoke the Insurrection Act, criminalize dissent, and federalize the National Guard. The movement can win with mass participation if we maintain non-violent discipline and win defections from the security forces.

Cannot stress enough that this is a pitiful action by a weak, scared, pathetic group of insecure, wannabe authoritarians, and they should be mocked until the end of time for wanting to bring in the military over some people protesting them at a Home Depot.

All of these violent, lawless ICE officers terrorizing communities and hiding their faces weren't just hired this year. It's why dismantling ICE as an agency was so important and remains so. These people are unfit to be public servants if they hate the public.

What the fuck is the point of paying money to a police department if they won’t protect people from hostile masked kidnappers?

The federal government is moving to take over the California National Guard and deploy 2,000 soldiers. That move is purposefully inflammatory and will only escalate tensions.

There is no bigger story right now than the White House asserting that California residents are in a state "of rebellion against the authority of the Government of the United States."

These are the 14 times the National Guard was denied by Trump and Acting Sec of Defense Chris Miller and his Chief of Staff Kash Patel on January 6th. The calls and who was on them In DC the only people who can deploy the Guard are POTUS and Sec of Defense www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fr3P...

EVERYBODY WATCH. ICE IS OUT OF CONTROL. Video of SEIU California’s President David Huerta getting assaulted & arrested during an ICE raid in the warehouse district of Downtown Los Angeles today. He’s an LA native, American citizen and labor leader. Don’t turn away.

If you see what you think is an ICE operation/raid call and report it to the DIRE hotline 888-DIRE-SOS (888-347-3767). Note the time and exact address. Make note of the number and type of cars involved and the number of agents and what uniforms they are wearing. Take photos and video if you can.

You don’t stop this shit by firing on the people, you stop it by having LAPD arrest ICE for kidnapping. This is a fucking disgrace by every government party involved.

America was given a choice between a lawless, amoral monster and a qualified, intelligent, joyful woman of color—and it chose the monster. We need to reckon with the reality of what that says about so many of us here. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/america-ch...

🚨 ICE agents in masks and no uniforms abducting people from a Phoenix immigration court - no ID, no explanation, no due process. This is not law enforcement. This is authoritarianism. Demand accountability. Stay loud. Stay informed. Stay safe.
