Very easy to feel doomerish right now, but I'm taking some heart from this @leahgreenberg.bsky.social message laying out the rationale for Saturday's No Kings protests.

A call for a stuck elevator came in from DHS at 26 Federal Plaza at 7:37 p.m. It was a ruse. There was no stuck elevator. The fire truck responding opened a space that ICE used to drive a van of kidnapped people through. ICE evaded protesters apparently by calling in a false emergency call.

Fox anchor John Roberts suggests law enforcement is showing a lot of restraint by not shooting protesters Roberts: "There are plenty of democratic countries ... where doing something like that would get you shot, so there would seem to be a fair degree of restraint being practiced"

Trump threatens to use “heavy force” against anyone who protests his military parade this weekend, and note that he makes no exception for peaceful protesters

Yeah my job is pretty cool. My uniform is a tactical vest that’s two sizes too small and a gaiter I bought in a gas station. They send me to sneak into schools to kidnap little kids because people got mad about having to press 1 for English. The president had to warn everyone to stop spitting on me.

This seems flatly indistinguishable from having them perform ordinary law-enforcement functions, which is (wait for it) illegal. Absent an invocation of the Insurrection Act, military cannot enforce domestic law against civilians.

If I were on the JCS and saw this (clearly identifiable soldiers helping enforce domestic law) I’d be shitting my pants rn but my guess is they’re all just going to pretend it’s not happening

hey quick question: if this was an illegal order and the Governor of California is in charge of the state national guard until they're lawfully federalized, why is Gavin suing instead of ordering the guard to not follow Trump's illegal orders?

California Governor Gavin Newsom has said deploying the National Guard is "purposefully inflammatory and will only escalate tensions." There’s a substantial amount of social science backing up Newsom’s suggestion.

Incredibly chaotic scene Los Angeles as LAPD is pushing forward a skirmish line and violently arresting anti-ICE protesters. You can also hear me grunt when police shoot me in the abdomen with some kind of projectile.

The military is generally barred from domestic law enforcement. Kristi Noem’s request may be a step toward the Trump administration sidestepping those laws by invoking the Insurrection Act.

he and his people are already acting as if they have invoked the insurrection act, is the thing. I think it is a mistake to assume that there will be some big moment when he does so, or that he thinks he needs one. As things stand, he’s way beyond the bounds of the statute he cited.

I realize that this is almost worn out at this point (which is itself pretty wild) but “the executive took over 2000 troops in violation of the only statute he cited and the local police are shooting reporters” is the sort of thing for which “imagine if this happened in another country” was coined

Watch the slow motion: it appears to me that the officers discuss the photographer and reporter before the one on the end fires on them (it looks to me like he's aiming at the camera, not the reporter, but you decide)
