To be perfectly clear: the 700 Marines being deployed to Los Angeles are being sent by Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump to escalate the violence by figuratively pouring gasoline everywhere and lighting a match. Donald Trump accuses his opponents of what he is actually doing.

This photo is from 2020 BLM protest in Washington DC, it's similar to LA today. A Police State is Trump's dream and he will use protesters to achieve it. Please, stay away from militarized troops and let them stand there looking like fools with nothing to do.✊🏼🇺🇸

Newsom: Noem was condemning the Biden administration since there was a chance her National Guard might be federalized. She condemned it, and Hannity shook his head in disgust at the so-called incompetence of the Biden administration. That incompetence—and hypocrisy—is on full display right now.

Trump doesn’t give a crap about the health and safety of the National Guard. It’s a photo op for a man addicted to power and chaos.

BREAKING: ICE boarded a Greyhound bus in Texas. They didn’t ask everyone for papers. Just the ones who looked Hispanic. Three were taken off. Only one came back. This is racial profiling, not immigration enforcement. Greyhound is complicit—and they fucking know it.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

the fact that people were told “today you are going to an elementary school to lie to teachers and kidnap kids” and didn’t immediately tell their bosses to go fuck themselves is all you need to know about why ICE should be dismantled

I'm filing a lawsuit against the Trump administration to end the illegal takeover of a CalGuard unit, which has escalated chaos and violence in LA. Donald Trump's violation of the U.S. Constitution is an overstep of his authority. We will not let this stand.

Trump’s federalization of the CA National Guard under 10 USC § 12406 is illegal. The law requires that orders be issued “through the Governors of the States.” Gov Gavin Newsom has not issued the orders. Guard troops in LA are following unlawful orders. law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/10…

What’s happening in Los Angeles right now is yet another example of Donald Trump using the powers of the federal government to attack and intimidate his political enemies. It’s despicable.

Trump’s deployment of the National Guard in California is not about the protests. It is about expanding his never-ending grasp for more power. It is about moving this country toward authoritarianism. All Americans must stand together against this gross abuse of power.
