YET, Trump is Federalizing the California Guard, and sending them into confront civilians. Trump WANTS violence & death in LA tomorrow.

Fascists want to provoke violence so they can justify crackdowns and get some good footage to distort for state propaganda outlets

It's almost like Trump is about to declare Martial Law, suspend the U.S. Constitution, and abolish Elections.

It’s provocation. LA didn’t ask for the National Guard. We don’t need it, and won’t be safer because of it. Stay home, everyone.

If you are National Guard or Active Duty military and you are being ordered to violate the constitutional rights of US citizens then this is the number to the GI Rights Hotline. There is support. You don’t have to go through with it. 877-447-4487

The Trump Terrorist Regime is preparing to "subdue" Dem-controlled communities.

It should be clear that there was no reason to deploy national guard. It was an objective of theirs looking for an excuse to be unleashed.

California State govt. and LA City: get a STOP injunction...NOW!!!

WHERE the Fu*k is the California Attorney General, Ron Bonta? He should be in COURT, right now, getting an injunction that PROHIBITS the California Guard from being used by Trump/Stephen Miller/Tom Homan. Fight the FU*K Back!!!!

Good Question! Where is California AG Bonta????

What happened to states’ rights, Kristi?

The problem is not that there are too many Americans protesting in the streets. The problem is that there are not enough. Not by a long shot.

This is the lamest ice raid in history. How much did it cost us taxpayers to arm and outfit all these masked yahoos? And they only caught 45 undocumented? Not criminals? Just working folks? 45? And they had no exit strategy??? Just sayin’ soccer moms make better logistics than Tom Mongo Homan.

LA ICE Protests. California Attorney General, Rob Bonta, wants to be the Governor in 2026. NOW is the time to win over Voters, AG Bonta: PREVENT the Federal Government from "Federalizing" the California Guard. Prove you deserve our vote!

"Maybe" THIS is what Gov. Newsom should NEGOTIATE with the Feds--in return for using the California National Guard. Anyone detained must be properly "booked" and housed in a legitimate City Jail or State Facility. State/City have "possession" of the detainee...NOT the Feds.

👍👍👍

We are at the point that Blue States nationwide have to research if it's legally possible that the state and their citizens can withhold taxes to the federal government and pay them only to their state. Blue states should not fund Trump's war on Blue States and our freedoms.

Pedophiles are happy...

Next Step: the 2026 Elections are SUSPENDED.

Rioting is ALWAYS about (in the words of Kris Kristofferson/Janis Joplin): "...having Nothing else to lose." If people are in the streets, it's desperation & frustration.

I don't know WHO needs to hear this, but: today we may be living through one of the Most Important Days in U.S. History. The Day a Dictator POTUS began nullifying the Authority of the Opposition Political Party. "And the band played on..."

My assumption is that ALL Democratic Party/government attorneys are too DUMB to find a way to PREVENT that Nationalization of the State Guard. ONLY Republican attorneys can find CREATIVE ways to get a Court Order in support of their political positions. Prove me wrong!

Welcome to America, where protesting illegal kidnappings without due process is an insurrection, but attacking the nation’s Capitol is not.

What the fuck is the point of paying money to a police department if they won’t protect people from hostile masked kidnappers?

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.

California Politicians: WHAT's your response?

When our Political Leaders FAIL us...the People are forced to protect themselves. The Dems are being TESTED. Do they have a counter-move to Trump's provocation? If Dems want to stay in Office, they need to have SOLUTIONS--that are satisfactory to the Voters. Not "this is the best I can do."

LA Protests. IMO, Governor Newsom should CHALLENGE the "nationalization" of the California National Guard. Is the tasks the Guard is being assigned LEGAL? Challenge it! Are their PARAMETERS the Governor can put on the use of the Guard? Challenge it in Court. Fight Back!

LA Protest. IMO, the Protesters should recognize the authority of the Uniformed, National Guard--and any Written Warrant. The Masked, ICE Agents, who do NOT have a Written Warrant are still NOT authorized to take away our neighbors & friends. Use this LEVERAGE.

They sport masks and weapons but they are nothing more than capitulating cowards.

Fuck ICE. Love you, Los Angeles.

Federal immigration agents in riot gear squared off with hundreds of protesters for a second consecutive day on Saturday in Los Angeles County, filling streets with tear gas and smoke. nyti.ms/4kUON0y

BREAKING NEWS: The federal government is sowing chaos in LA. Tom Homan, Trump’s border czar, has announced the national guard will be deployed in LA to combat anti-ICE protests if Gavin Newsom “doesn’t do his job”. #50501 #50501movement #iceraids #breakingnews #stopice @polrev.bsky.social

For our LA friends - please show up if you can. We stand in solidarity with SEIU and David. He's showing us immense courage. Let's show him it's contagious.

I believe Trump WILL. And, he will EXTEND his self-declared Emergency Powers THRU next year...CANCELLING the 2026 Congressional Elections. Will the Dems allow it? Will the American People allow it? Is this OUR Moment in History? [Oh, yeah: NEXT week Trump will have TROOPS in Washington D.C.]

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/?)

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.

Trump intends to IMPOSE Military Control over Dem-led areas. The ICE raids have ALL been in Dem-controlled areas. Either people push-back...or SURRENDER without a fight. Trump believes people will NOT fight. Is Trump right?

LA Anti-ICE Protests. Will we, the People, allow MASKED Gestapo-ICE agents to KIDNAP our friends & neighbors? Have we arrived at Our Moment in history? WHAT side are YOU on?

Reminder: these are CIVIL "crimes" that heavily-armed ICE agents are "enforcing"...and TERRORIZING communities.

we're not making ICE agents out to be cartoon villains. we're calling them nazis because they're using nazi tactics. they're concealing their identities and faces, disappearing citizens and non-citizens, and carrying out a terror campaign. they're just as guilty when they're off shift

Who is posting the best coverage of the situation in LA with ICE

ICE = Gestapo.
