🚨Secret police! Do you accept secret police? My family fled from Argentina where secret police jailed my grandfather & killed my dad's best friend's father as well as about 30,000 other Argentinians. When people conceal their identities, no one's safe! Anyone could be taken, even me and you.

In shocking footage of Trump in 2020 that is now going viral, Trump says it’s against the law for a president to call in the National Guard on his own: “We can't call in the National Guard unless we're requested by a governor.” #cdnpoli

Confederate troops fired on Fort Sumter in SC Charleston Harbor on April 12, 1861. It was an Insurrection. The US military's interaction with citizens is primarily limited by the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878, These things haven't happened since the Civil War. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

To be perfectly clear: the 700 Marines being deployed to Los Angeles are being sent by Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump to escalate the violence by figuratively pouring gasoline everywhere and lighting a match. Donald Trump accuses his opponents of what he is actually doing.

He wants unrest. He wants a civil war. He wants to be able to rule by military decree. And he is arranging things to get it.

The National Guard sleeping quarters in Los Angeles, organised by Hegseth and Trump. American soldiers had better living conditions in Iraq and Afghanistan than when deployed to America's own cities.

Mainstream Republicans are mugged by the Trump Administration over and over and over, and still refuse to press charges.

Right now, Dems are hiding in their offices, scrolling their phones fearfully, wondering "how are voters going to feel about the National Guard being deployed?" The right, meanwhile, is vigorously *attempting to shape* how voters feel about it, filling every medium with coordinated propaganda.

"It gets somewhat lost in all the other high octane dimensions of this story that a raid on a Home Depot is literally an effort to arrest people who are eager to work and whose labor is in great demand. It’s about as far as you can get from just going after the bad guys, as the WH routinely claims."

Every accusation is a confession.

Democrats should share videos of the January 6th insurrection and Trump pardoning all of them throughout this week.

😳“This is what happens when the president and Hegseth demand the National Guard state assets deploy immediately with no plan in place … If you’re going to federalize these troops, then take care of them.” www.sfchronicle.com/california/a...

Violent insurrectionists attacked the U.S. Capitol, the citadel of democracy, and assaulted police officers and Donald Trump watched it all on TV and did nothing except savor it.

He’s disappearing innocent people off of our streets and ordering the military onto our streets. He does not give a damn about the rule of law. He is the very tyrant our founding generation rose up against 249 yrs ago. It’s time for the American people to rise up again.

Please repost:

Attend a #NoKings protest this Saturday to take a stand against fascism and wake up the mainstream media. My latest Stop the Presses newsletter. Spread the word.

Also, apropos of nothing in particular, if anyone tries to tell you that the protests in LA are a distraction from the budget bill, kindly remind them that the bill will MASSIVELY expand ICE’s budget, so the two things are very much related.

🎯 @timmiller.bsky.social: "The ICE raids are not happening at Donald Trump's golf courses or in deep red parts of the country. These raids are happening in blue cities... That shows just how much they want this fight."

Murphy: "Everything that's happened in the last 7 days - the fight w/ Musk & now the deployment of the National Guard - is probably also a distraction from the main story, which is that Trump is trying to pass probably the most unpopular piece of legislation he will attempt to move through Congress"

Trump in 2020: We have to go by the laws. We can't move in the National Guard. I can call insurrection but there's no reason to ever do that, even in a Portland case. We can't call in the National Guard unless we're requested by a governor.

The very essence of Trumpism is projection.

This is a pretty important point!

Headline/chyron if this were happening in a foreign country: "Far right president calls for arrest of opposition party provincial governor, raising further questions about democracy & the rule of law" Headline/chyron when this happens in 🇺🇸: "Trump Takes Questions As He Returns To The White House"

The Declaration of Independence specifies 27 grievances with King George III, and I count at least 15 of them that Donald Trump has also committed in whole or in part. Particularly notable right now: "He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures."

do headlines the right way i.e. slate in 2020

Authoritarian propaganda 101: create or exaggerate chaos, insert yourself as the necessary solution, demand loyalty and praise. It rewrites history in real time, creating confusion about what did or didn’t happen. This is compounded today by the disastrously bad information environment.

Lest we forget: this is the ear that was "blown off."

Bass: "It's an escalation that didn't have to happen. Why were there raids? You know, we had been told that he was going to go after violent criminals --- It wasn't a drug den. It was a Home Depot, it was places where people are working."

Important information from @aclu.org on your rights in protesting. Thanks, Sarah- please spread far and wide!

You all are incredible. You’ve been collecting videos, photos, and detailed notes piecing together exactly what happened. The narrative this administration tried to push? You dismantled it in hours.

It's time to meet the moment @democrats.org, @chuckschumer.com and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social. every dem needs to stand with people at protests. From Senators to dog catcher. pick a day. Announce nationwide nonviolent resistance. Be the firewall against fascism. That's your only job now. LEAD.

This is exactly what we need from all our members of Congress—SHOW UP. Thank you, Reps @gomez.house.gov , @repluzrivas.bsky.social , @ntorres35.bsky.social , and Lou Correa for showing up at the Federal Building to demand answers amid reports of inhumane conditions: no beds, no food, no water.

We need to stand up for @terrymoranabc.bsky.social

PSA: Don’t call Stephen Miller vile. Call him a fascist beta cuck. Thank you.

MAGA, I thought you all defended free speech and the First Amendment, right? Why are you so upset about Terry Moran's comments? Stop being such snowflakes, right? Stop looking for safe spaces. Man up.

Trump supporters attacked the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 and Trump didn't call in the National Guard.

Every accusation is a confession

What happened to states’ rights, Kristi?

In one week. Be there or be ruled. Nokings.org

Spread the word! Nationwide protests on Saturday June 14, the day of Trump’s birthday parade. www.nokings.org
