One of the best things about Posting is you never know what obscure preoccupations your followers have. There will be a guy who has followed you for years and never said anything but then one day you disparage applesauce and he activates like a sleeper agent and dedicates his life to destroying you

ACLU Statement: "[T]he Trump administration is putting Angelenos in danger, creating legal and ethical jeopardy for troops, and recklessly undermining our foundational democratic principle that the military should not police civilians." "unnecessary, inflammatory, and an abuse of power"

The statute that President Trump has invoked - 10 U.S.C. § 12406 - has an important proviso: “orders for these purposes shall be issued through the governors of the States" Great article @justsecurity.org explains that proviso in this February 2024 article:

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.

The "locations where protests against these functions are occurring or are likely to occur based on current threat assessments and planned operations" is jumping out at me.

Not even 5 months into the Trump Administration and we're already at the "will the military refuse to obey clearly unlawful orders?" stage of authoritarianism.

Sending 2,000 troops to Los Angeles is the same thing as sending a few dozen random people to a gulag in El Salvador, they're doing this because it's a thing they've always wanted to do, not because of any broader goal or coherent plan. Subordination of strategy to tactical planning.

Have national Dems, who claim to want to "win back" the working class, said anything yet about ICE injuring and arresting the head of the SEIU of California? truthout.org/articles/ice...

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.

There's also this weird idea that's been floating around that the ARNG is nothing but crack riot goon squads, and while I'm sure the CA ARNG has some MP companies that did crowd control training once sometime in the last 24 months, that mostly isn't in any way the case

Hell of a sentence from the guy who valorized & pardoned violent criminality against Capitol Police on the job: "The Trump Administration has a zero tolerance policy for criminal behavior and violence, especially when that violence is aimed at law enforcement officers trying to do their jobs."

Soooo, was it a request, or did he invoke the insurrection act? He can't just issue a memo to take over the CA national guard.

Let's be clear: the LA story is absolutely the more urgently important story. The Musk story (and specifically, the Miller angle) is just ALSO important because it helps us understand why they might jump the gun in LA in a way that is otherwise strategically perplexing.

Trump finally chiming it. Sounds like he's issuing an ultimatum to Gavin and Bass to either send in the Guard and LAPD or he'll federalize the Guard and send them in himself. We are rapidly approaching a crisis point.

I am walking around my city with a passport. We’ve been watching for weeks as ICE inundates this place. My Pop was frozen as ICE came down their block parading their unchecked power. Anyone judging these protests should think about what it’s like to live in the escalation of all this.
