Big point that is being missed: without the insurrection act, the activated Guard troops are now federal army and cannot Do law enforcement. Period

Booker: "We have a president who did nothing as people stormed our Capitol, & then when those people who viciously beat police & led to some of their deaths - therefore cop killers - were convicted, he pardoned them. So for him to be talking about responsive law enforcement is hypocritical at best"

The deployment of federalized National Guard troops to California, without consent from local or state officials, is deeply troubling. These are tactics seen in authoritarian regimes, not in America. We want to be clear, the military should not be used to police civilians.

By the way, this Abundance Agenda crapola is just another way to package the Reagan-lite pro-Wall Street neoliberal agenda that helped exacerbate inequality in the US throughout the Clinton and Obama years. It also plays like East Coast elite mush—because it is.

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

Why do we have illegal immigration to this country? Because the companies want it that way. Ppl in dire straits go where there are jobs and safety. Without a way to make a living, they aren't safe. Companies welcome their labor and silence. This is America.

DEVELOPING: No warning. No reason. NYPD officers rushed into the crowd and tackled a protester this weekend. His body was limp. He couldn’t move. He said, “I can’t feel my legs.” He might never walk again. For showing up. This is brutality. This is America.

“These are real people with real families you are hurting with your ridiculous and inflammatory comments.” Irony, satire, and truth are truly dead. They are “keeping us all safe” from the four year-old with a life-threatening illness or the six-year-old with cancer, the waitress, the landscaper.

A huge reason any of these bad things are happening is that people were permitted to get away with obvious and public crimes with no consequences.

To this day I remain astonished at: ➡️ The continued use of language suggesting that the Trump administration doesn't know what its doing or that they care about the consequences. ➡️ The continued normalization by Democrats of ANY MEMBER of the GOP. They are all complicit. ALL. OF. THEM.

I'm sick and tired of hearing that local and state police won't get involved. These are NOT legitimate federal acts. These are thugs who are ambushing people, interfering with legal hearings, and KIDNAPPING. Local and state police should always be called and they had better the fuck show up.

At a raw, practical level, they’re just men with guns. Law enforcement is supposed to be different because of law. Because they are supposed to be restrained by warrants and rules and due process and and people’s rights. But once they discard all that, they are, fundamentally, just men with guns.

The most striking thing about the LA protests is how many people just dropped everything to show up and yell at federal agents. There are people in suits, and carrying dogs, and wearing flip flops or bike helmets. These are not people who planned to do this today. But there they are.

If someone were thinking about seizing full control of the government, moving large amounts of military equipment to the capital under the guise of a “parade” would certainly be one way to do it.

A poll-driven view of politics [and as a Data Person I often fall in that trap] can blind you to the basic human (and strategic) fact that the assertion of strength can increase strength. The 2nd paragraph is IMHO the perfect tone for organizational messaging today. via @aaronsojourner.org

They don’t show up like this for school shootings. People ask how the public knows ICE is there? This is how. Nothing covert about it. They do it this way to make sure the entire world knows they’re coming. A full display of terror on our streets. To instill fear in America.
