"The administration’s definition of 'rebellion' is slipshod and ungrounded in law, but that doesn’t mean they didn’t think it through. It’s becoming increasingly clear that Trump believes that any pushback against his administration’s policies is criminal and must be suppressed."

Angus: Canada can no longer view the United States as an ally. We know that Donald Trump doesn’t believe in liberal democracy—he doesn’t believe in the rule of law. Prime Minister Carney is not welcoming the leader of the free world to Canada. He is welcoming Vladimir Putin’s sock puppet.

The Secretary of the Army refers to the US Army after Trump’s speech as ā€œHIS Army.ā€

US Army Secretary Dan Driscoll: "If you watch the videos of the president speaking before soldiers, you can see he just has an incredible connection as commander in chief with his army." "His army."

I'm grateful that if I post that Stephen Miller is a hateful dickbag on social media, no one can fire me from MSW Media because I own it. I might not be your cup of tea, but thanks to all who support independent media šŸ’™šŸ™

I know everyone is occupied w authoritarian tactics of Trump sending marines & national guard to LA but wanted to show the hypocrisy of this lawless regime. Trump is installing a pardoned drug trafficker as deputy director of the federal Bureau of Prisons

ā€œGovernors are the Commanders in Chief of their National Guard and the federal government activating them in their own borders without consulting or working with a state’s governor is ineffective and dangerous.ā€ And per California it’s also illegal: www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

BarragƔn: "This is not an effort to really get criminals. It's an effort to see 'let's see who we can sweep up along the way.' Why are they doing this? Bc this president said he was going to deport millions & the numbers have not been adding up. There aren't that many serious criminal offenders."

A few thoughts on Trump nationalize state nat guard in LA talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/break...

the white house thinks brute force is, no pun intended, a trump card. they don’t anticipate pushback and they don’t know how to handle it with anything other than escalation. the issue is that each escalation is itself a gamble. if protesters refuse to back down, you’ve lost face. (1/?)

Okay there it is.

This was the plan. California was always the target.

LIVE FEED: L.A. protesters are constructing barricades, dozens arrested, sound of flashbang grenades widespread.

This was their plan. This is what they want. They picked LA on purpose.
