Now Hegseth is saying that the active duty Marines at Camp Pendleton are on alert to come in if the National Guard isn’t enough. The U.S. government is ready to unleash our own military on civilians. It is definitely time to be frightened about what is happening here.

This is patently unlawful, if the Marines are being used for regular civilian law enforcement on the whim of the SecDef.

This moment is why we were so opposed to Pete Hegseth being confirmed.

Law enforcement across the nation must pick a side. They are either for protecting their communities or they are for ICE who terrorizes their communities. There is no gray area on this.

We learned an important lesson today. Local police do not want to help federal authorities.

The military isn’t being employed to carry out an immigration policy. The immigration policy, and especially the way the administration is choosing to carry it out, is an excuse to call out the military.

WOW: The Trump regime is officially too fascist for the *LAPD*

What a shot.

Palantir creating mass blackmail database on all Americans, tanks rolling into DC for an authoritarian military parade, insurrection act invoked. The regime has gone full fascist.

only six months in and we're already deploying the national guard on the american people, jesus

LOS ANGELES STRONG. I stand with anyone protesting the ICE raids that took place. Horrific.

Immigration enforcement also hits Chinatown

What does martial law look like to you? Because this is what it looks like to me.

Tanks being moved into DC. National guard being mobilized in LA. Paramilitary thugs being unleashed across America. It's summer in America and fascism is in full bloom.

The administration gets closer to using the military to crush civilian dissent. Expect deaths, disappearances, and lawless detentions.

F-U-C-K- I-C-E HIT THOSE ASSHOLES AT THEIR KNEES

good GOOD (this whole thread is stunning)

I want kids to have parks to play in and schools to learn in.

ABOLISH ICE

Last night ICE hit Chinatown. They pepper bombed civilians while the country was watching LAPD fire rubber bullets and tear gas downtown.

Refuse to obey illegal orders.

We could really use some more specifics here on the legal authority in question

America, we have crossed the Rubicon

The U.S. military has been ordered to attack Los Angeles. That's where we are now.

ICE is KKK, Proud Boys, and other Jan 6 pardoned traitors.

Only in LA would protesters think to tag the ground so it’s visible in helicopter shots.

While the President can request a governor to deploy the National Guard, the governor has the final decision on whether to deploy their state's Guard. www.brennancenter.org/our-work/ana...

I love Mexican art so much

Want the people I love to feel safe and comforted by community and belonging this month… But personally when I see this I’m reminded of how Pride really started (video by @jeremotographs.bsky.social)

I love this dude in the helmet.

California Protesters throw rocks at ICE

Hell of a photo

And there you have it. ICE didn't target migrant workers in Kristi Noem's farms or Sarah Huckabee Sanders' meatpacking plants because they wanted to create a riot in LA as a pretext to declaring martial law. They don't care about undocumented migrants, they only care about controlling US citizens.

I feel like we aren’t making a big enough deal about how insane this is

we are t. he needs to bre told no. we don't do that

The federal government is moving to take over the California National Guard and deploy 2,000 soldiers. That move is purposefully inflammatory and will only escalate tensions.

Prevention is not a vinegar-soaked bandana, but an N95 mask and goggles that will prevent tear gas and pepper spray from burning sensitive tissues. Cover skin.

ABOLISH ICE.

ICE is a terrorist organization.

When the smoke clears and this hellscape ends, ICE and every last enabler—politicians, Congress members, senators—should face full accountability for every brutal injustice. No excuses. No mercy. Prosecute them all to the fullest extent. They don’t get to walk away clean.
