This is Fascism.

No. THIS IS FASCISM!!!

The fires are so extensive across Manitoba, Saskatchewan & Ontario currently that there are not enough air crafts to rescue remote Native Canadians. I am sending an SOS to every nation to help save the lives of people who are going to burn alive. Literally. Canada needs evacuation assistance.

The administration that is now using protests in Los Angeles to justify federalizing the National Guard supported Trump when he pardoned January 6 protestors who overran the Capitol.

January Trump approval on the economy: plus +8.24 points Today Trump approval on the economy: minus -15.75 January Trump approval on inflation: plus +1.99 Today Trump approval on inflation: minus -22.24 So clearly it's time to deploy the Marines in L.A.? www.newsweek.com/donald-trump...

"Tanner, a chemist at the Univ. of Mississippi working to develop a novel approach for treating glioblastoma, was notified in April that the grant was terminated. “I would like to cure brain cancer,” Dr. Tanner said. “I think that's not particularly controversial.” www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Just a reminder that Donald Trump refused to call in the National Guard on January 6th when violent insurrectionists were literally storming our Capitol building to overturn an election that he lost

ICE crossed a line in LA

In Staples, I joined MN Farmers Union President Gary Wertish and local cattlemen to break ground on the new Processing & Meats facility. This project is a big win for local producers, rural jobs, and a stronger, more resilient food system.

Meiselas: As we wrote on the MeidasTouch account—Trump lit the match, poured the gasoline, and now wants to use the blaze he created as a pretext to burn it all down.

If this keeps up, one of these ICE agents or National Guard members is inevitably going to kill an unarmed person on camera. All it takes is a spark. I know that's what Trump, Miller, Hegseth and MAGA want, but curious if the big money behind the GOP has thought this through...

You guys are keeping us safe from the veterans and the US Marshall you arrested? Keeping us safe from little kids with cancer you deported? The Americans you all kicked out of the house in their underwear when you knocked on the wrong door? Okay, Todd. 🧑‍🍳💋 #ICE #Immigration #ProudBlue #DemVoice1

ICE arrested former Afghan Nat'l Army soldier—our ally against Taliban—at his home in TX. He entered legally and atty says he has no criminal record. Was applying for asylum. Appears to be casualty of Trump decision de-documenting legal Afghan immigrants www.houstonpublicmedia.org/articles/new...

This isn’t even remotely legal what he is doing.

ICE agents briefly detained a U.S. marshal in Arizona “The deputy marshal was detained because he "fit the general description of a subject being sought by ICE," ICE is out of control www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

Reports and video show flash-bangs thrown into piles of debris just before a car caught fire, strongly suggesting it was law enforcement, not protesters, who sparked it. More details are coming. Don’t let them control the narrative. Thank you to everyone sharing footage, always record everything.

Trump praises ‘great job’ by national guard in calming LA protests, as mayor says troops are not in the city – US politics live

🚨🚨🚨 I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x convicted felon & adjudicated rapist Trump did 🚨🚨🚨

The LAPD says there was no violence and they had things under control. The National Guard never even made it to their armories no matter clearing the streets. He’s declared victory and thinks he can dictate masks are illegal. This is a 2:41 AM lunatic post.

Fact......

Re-upping this “One First” post from April asking—and trying to answer—five questions about the domestic use of the military:

Excellent question.

"So here's the plan -- we impose massive tariffs on the nations that sell us food." "Hmm." "But it's OK, because we just rely more on states like California that grow a lot of the same things." "Oh, I guess that ..." "And then we go to war with California."

If you think ICE agents are justified in disrupting an elementary school graduation to detain parents in front of their traumatized children, we will never see eye to eye on anything.

Just to recap, Trump has taken the extraordinary step of federalizing 2000 member of the California National Guard — over the objections of the state’s governor — in response to a protest that currently involves A FEW DOZEN PEOPLE AT A HOME DEPOT

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.

See the difference? 👀

Silence Is Complicity Straighten your spine Speak & live your truth

ICE surrendered their presumption of legitimacy when they kidnapped and internationally trafficked dozens-to-hundreds without due process and defied courts who have demanded their return. It’s cash now, no credit. GTFO of our communities and don’t come back until you have proof.

Feels like we are dangerously close to US military firing on US citizens

President Trump has promised to attack drug gangs and called for the death penalty for street dealers. But he has also pardoned more than 20 people serving time for serious drug crimes, some involving violence.

The President can call National Guard soldiers up for active duty but once they do that they CANNOT be used for domestic police functions. If the President seeks use the National Guard for police enforcement, the Governors have to agree to allow it and the guard must remain under their control

Page One in Los Angeles @latimes.com

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.
