The Insurrection Act is sweeping. It’s a huge grant of power to the President. It is also very expressly for conditions that do not exist in California. And if you’re hypothetically the governor, you should be saying so.

L.A. is a Mexican-American city. The majority of the population is made up of racial and ethnic minorities. We are all happy living together and really do not want to see our friends, neighbors and families being terrorized by federal robo-cops. This is bullshit.

Pretending that there's an emergency to increase his own power has been his thing since he took office. He did it with the Alien Enemies Act and with tariffs. By the time you get a court judgment that the emergency is fake he's already done what he wanted

"The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear."

I doubt it will be be the military that fires on unarmed civilians. They're often far better trained with clear rules of engagement. It'll likely be DHS thugs who are untrained in protest response armed with weapons of war. If they do, all bets are off and will escalate this to a breaking point.

this is the thing. When the uprising in Minneapolis began, one person threw a rock at a cop. instead of being strategic in response, cops responded by tear gassing the entire crowd and unleashing horrible tactics. The cops were gonna escalate no matter what.

they're doing this because the Insurrection Act sounds cool and edgy but they can't actually justify using the Insurrection Act. it's a silly action by an insecure administration desperately to seem manly and powerful. it should be criticized relentlessly, but it should also be laughed at.

Look, I’m about as nonviolent as they come, but we have to…not say things like “the protests must remain nonviolent to have legitimacy” because then all Trump has to do is send in some guy with a brick.

mass protest is not the right way to oppose fascism. the right way to oppose fascism is to shake your head and say “no thank you” whenever a fascist offers you some fascism

Protests never work which is why the police gas their own citizens to stop them

Mass, relentless public protest is all there is. Every other mechanism for stopping despotism has failed. There's a reason that so many state constitutions include the phrase "All political power is inherent in the people"

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.

From the other side of the country, good luck to everyone protesting in California. Things are likely going to light up all over the country this summer and the momentum needs to keep going. Raise Hell.

just that period reminder that content posted to Bluesky is public to anybody. if you don't want to see it used in a court of law, don't post it here. and DMs here are not E2EE, they can be subpoened. a great use for bsky DMs is to share secure comms and move the conversation there.

Is it brain fog or bad faith? Cuz if you claim to be a radical and an organizer but youre repping non violence when the two most popular political moments of the last five years involved Luigi Mangione (>70% approval) and burning down the 3rd precinct (more popular than either pres. candidate)

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.

Exactly this. Go to TikTok. Look at the lives. It’s 400 people OUTSIDE LA, standing outside an ICE facility and they are making the ruling class shake. This is a sign of weakness on the part of the ruler: they are afraid and they can be stopped.

the funniest thing about the “ice agents are human beings with families” line is that there is no evidence to support the claim. oh they’re real people? what are their names? as far as I’m concerned they’re the T-1000 until proven otherwise

what should be particularly scary about this is that assault on an officer is an exceptionally abused charge. it’s tacked on to nonviolent offenses constantly and used to harass people who’ve committed no offense at all.

We really don’t know what’s going to happen next. All the armchair gaming out feels less worth our time than focusing on what suffering ICE and cops are inflicting right now, in front of all of us, and all the things people are doing to protect and defend one another.

Los Angeles: if you get tear gas or see other people who have been and someone calling themselves a medic tries to use milk to wash their eyes out SLAP THAT MILK JUG OUT THEIR FUCKING HAND. MILK DOES NOT WASH OUT TEAR GAS. Just use bottled water please.

The LA protests will trigger a drumbeat of "law and order" messaging from the White House and their media allies as a prelude to invoking the Insurrection Act. This is entirely predictable, and any Dem or media outlet that facilitates this narrative will be aiding Trump's authoritarian project.

A historical fact, admitted in their own analyses, is that after one night of major demonstrations in 2020 the Asheville Police Department could no longer hold the city. They had to call in support from other counties. After a second night those were exhausted and they called the national guard.

What's going on in LA should be a real wakeup call for folks who don't already know that a fully liberal government can still wind up a police state and without some major change to the way we talk about the militarization of policing, nothing will get better
