Trump instigated this entirely on his own. You don’t overrun a state’s National Guard without a request from that state, that’s a violation of constitutional limits. He manufactured a crisis.

One international journalist has already been injured by police while reporting on the ground. When even foreign press aren’t safe, you know the truth is something they’re trying to suppress.

This morning, Trump thanked the National Guard for handling protests they weren’t even present for. That’s how far they’ll go to sell the lie. Trump wants this fight, not to keep peace, but to justify using the military against Americans. A textbook authoritarian move.

Yesterday, the LAPD released a statement calling the protests peaceful. They had no reason to do that, except that it’s true. Meanwhile, the administration is planting instigators and inflaming tensions to justify its own lawless actions. No one, not even Trump, gets to trample the Constitution.

the hong kong protestors used the phrase "do not split" to mean that the radical protest and peaceful protest arms of the movement should refuse to criticize each other.

Horrible take Senator Schiff. Sending in national guard against protestors that the LAPD described as peaceful is an escalation tactic specifically meant to legitimize involving the insurrection act when it shortly becomes active. Grow a spine and address the real architect: Russel Vought.

On the anniversary of his death, we must vote NO on the "big beautiful bill", which disproportionately affects black Americans and other citizens of color.
