In California, Trump is trying to claim that destruction of private property is the same as a “riot or insurrection,” allowing him to send the national guard in response to protests where no law enforcement have been seriously injured.

This is beautifully written. This is the last flicker of the light of freedom in the United States, before Trump’s personal Supreme Court approves of him sending the national guard to occupy a state in direct opposition to the constitution and the rights of states.

U.S. tax dollars will be spent appealing to the Circuit, then the Supreme Court. The SC will issue an expedited stay, allowing Trump to illegally ignore the sovereignty of a state and invade with armed troops. And pundits will debate what this will mean for democracy. Our democracy is being killed.

Truth that is difficult to understand has no chance against lies that are easy to believe.

This week’s comic on @dailykos.com - www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

Today, the House of Representatives will vote on a rescission package that will instantly gut all federal funding for public media. All of it, gone. Here’s more information: protectmypublicmedia.org?utm_source=n...

Trump and FOX are lying when they talk about riots in LA. The small, red circle is the only place protests are taking place.

The concentration camps story Is the crashing Medicaid story Which is the trashing due process story And the tanking vaccines story Which is the dismantling the Kennedy Center & Smithsonian story And the military parade story Which is also the ICE raids story… Naked authoritarianism. 6/14 #NoKings

“He’s gonna kill us all,” hadn’t occurred to me in nearly five years. “He’s killing poor people by the thousands in the U.S. and 5Xs that internationally,” had been thought the past 5 months. Back to, “he’s gonna kill us all.” www.nytimes.com/2025/06/11/u...

From Washington —

HEGSETH: The mission in Los Angeles is about maintaining law and order REED: Excuse me. Law and order is a civil function under the Constitution of the United States

They have destroyed the country as it was just a few years ago. That country is done. The only question is how far back will the GOP set us. The goal for many is 1925, for others 1825. Listen to their own words. They’ve been working toward this for 50 years.

This is the way to stand up to these bullies! Respect ✊

Trump’s administration is looking for a Reichstag fire to justify increasing police presence. Either L.A., or Cleveland, or other “dangerous” cities. Any opportunity to escalate government authority over the people and Democrat controlled cities. This is by design. This is what authoritarians do.

Let's not pretend Trump actually wants to help Los Angeles. Trump is deploying the military on American soil to stoke MORE conflict and MORE violence. Every Republican that remains silent is enabling him to trample over the constitutional rights of the American people.

Warm look back to my book launch on this day one year ago at Book People (@bookpeoplerva.bsky.social) here in #Richmond, #Virginia. Happy to say, too, book's still selling! www.tonygentry.com #RVA #booksky #books #bookpeoplerva
