Resist and refute the propaganda that people who protest Trump "hate America". Trump and the GOP are making a mockery of our country, constitution, and laws. It's him who doesn't give a shit about America or Americans. Only his power and money.

Just to be clear 1. It has not been invoked 2. They have invoked one statute, and it very clearly does not allow commandeering state nat guard without consulting the governor, much less sending in marines

Here's the thing about this: It isn't a boycott really. On one level I'm not travelling to the US because of moral objections, sure. But the really powerful factor for me is just a basic risk assessment. The American administration is clearly aggressively hostile to foreigners, and people like me.

I’ve seen a lot of “the left is blowing this race by uniting behind a socialist like Zohran” takes but not enough “the establishment/center is blowing this race by uniting behind a sexual harasser/corrupt weirdo like Cuomo” takes

Law enforcement is violently targeting press at protests around Los Angeles, from easily recognizable "mainstream" outlets to freelancers and independents. ALL press have explicit legal protections in California. #JournalismIsNotACrime. This evidence thread may get graphic. 🧵👇

“A 2010 study that analyzed 40 years of protest coverage in five major newspapers, including The New York Times and The Washington Post, found that the papers depicted protests — even peaceful ones — as nuisances rather than as necessary functions of democracy.”

The people urging no-riots also aren't acknowledging that we've been having large peaceful protests against this admin since inauguration, and they barely make the news. Law enforcement is escalating. At least mention that, but also say it's been peaceful all along, and things are getting worse.

Trump has federalized at least 2,000 National Guard forces and reportedly plans to deploy troops to Los Angeles over Governor Newsom’s objections. If that happens, it will be the first time since 1965 that a president has sent troops into a state without a state request. 1/19

"Law and order". While the felon President's administration is constantly breaking the law. And while all of the Jan 6 insurrectionists are free to terrorize again.
