Gov. Gavin Newsom said on social media that California National Guard was being taken over by the federal government “not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle.”

Math. Not even once.

Please help us. We have people who’ve been hurt just trying to help others. More are out now. Please, record everything. We will hold those accountable who are breaking the law and attacking our communities. Do not provoke.

I hope everyone saw where Trump allowed 17 family members related to El Chapo into the US! It was all done very quietly. Hypocrisy supreme.

We @lawfaremedia.org will hopefully publish something on this soon but fwiw the legal authority invoked is NOT the Insurrection Act — it’s 10 USC 12406, which is much more limited than an Insurrection Act invocation. (Reporters: Chris Mirasola is the expert to talk to about this)

If the president is going to federalize the national guard it would be great if he would not do so at 11 pm on a Saturday night ok

LAPD STATEMENT: “The protests remained peaceful… without incident…”

#parenting #truth Good, with the not-so-good, eh?

It has begun.

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.

Remember when Trump did this on J6 at the Capitol? No, because he didn’t.

This week Trump will deploy troops in California and roll Army tanks and artillery through the streets of the US Capital.

What happened to states’ rights, Kristi?

What's happening tonight is anything but law and order. Don't be deceived.

I am holding you responsible: for every way he perverts our systems, every human being whose life he makes a living hell, every violent I.C.E. raid every legislative assault on the rights of women and LGBTQ people, the poor, and the elderly, You did this. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/to-the-peo...

ICE terrorizes our communities. People protest, and now Trump is sending 2,000 National Guard troops into Los Angeles. This is how martial law begins in the so-called land of the free.

America's greatest threat is our own Government.

JD Vance now wants to use the chaos ICE is causing in Los Angeles as pretext to pressure politicians to pass the Republican budget bill that will saddle Americans with trillions of dollars of debt, skyrocket the deficit, take away people’s healthcare, and give massive tax breaks to the wealthy.

Trump is deploying 2,000 National Guard troops to Los Angeles without the governor’s request or consent. Governor Newsom has publicly condemned the move, calling it “purposefully inflammatory.”

Weird how he didn’t call up the National Guard on January 6th.

Pete Hegseth is now threatening to send the Marines into Los Angeles. Make no mistake: this is a declaration of war against the United States.

For the love of god plz SOMEONE in the White House pool report on the legal authority invoked in this memorandum

Your safety is the top priority. Peaceful protesters have already been harmed for doing nothing. The story they’re selling isn’t legit. Please film everything, document everything.

BREAKING: Pete Hegseth just stated that he will mobilize the U.S. Marines, who are now on high alert, to California from Camp Pendleton in if he needs to. Marines turned on US citizens. Does this sound like America to you?

A truly sad sight. Trump’s America. 🇺🇸

Guys the authority invoked is not the Insurrection Act don’t let ppl tell you it’s the Insurrection Act ok

“‘I have seen these pictures. I know that these pictures exist and I can describe them,’ Wolff alleged. ‘There are about a dozen of them.’”

Welcome to America's Reichstag Fire.

Just like in the parks, safety comes first. - Stay with your group - Follow the signs (or in this case, the facts) - Leave no one behind - Document everything - Don’t engage alone
