Q: When does Donald Trump *never* call the National Guard? A: When there is a *real* insurrection.

"Tanner, a chemist at the Univ. of Mississippi working to develop a novel approach for treating glioblastoma, was notified in April that the grant was terminated. “I would like to cure brain cancer,” Dr. Tanner said. “I think that's not particularly controversial.” www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

I notice people calling what we’re seeing these last couple of days “riots.” I was here during the 1992 Los Angeles riots. That’s not what this is. Local police can handle this, but ICE needs to back off—especially with these amateur hires who don’t know what the f*ck they’re doing.

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

My dad, who has lived under a dictatorship, knows one when he sees one. His first text this morning is that we are now officially in a dictatorship. It is all pretty grim.

Stephen Miller got caught repeatedly trafficking in white nationalist rhetoric and conspiracy theories and an ABC News reporter got suspended for calling Miller hateful

"two months later, authorities have yet to provide any evidence that the more than three dozen people they arrested that night have connections to the gang..." www.texastribune.org/2025/06/04/t...

This draft dodger, who liked to pretend he was in the military by wearing this cute little costume in high school, is planning to use our real military domestically against US citizens. This violates the Posse Comitatus Act enacted in 1878 to stop our military being used as a domestic police force.

ICE shot a reporter... "Nick Stern, a British news photographer based in Los Angeles, is set to undergo emergency surgery for a wound sustained during the standoff between police and anti-Ice protesters in Los Angeles on Saturday."

'Don't shoot!' Maxine Waters begs National Guard not to use guns at protest https://twp.ai/4in8lF

What happened to states’ rights, Kristi?

We never had to worry about the U.S. military being used against our own country when Biden was president. But that’s exactly what’s happened under both Trump administrations.

Fox keeps proving there’s still more stupidity to come.

Very strange.....

If undocumented workers with no criminal history are being dragged from job sites that they’ve worked at for years, then when do the CEOs, contractors, and farm owners who employed them start getting handcuffed? Or is that not how “justice” works in America?

BREAKING: Defense Secretary Hegseth says he’s ready to deploy Marines to LA over anti-ICE protests. Not cops. Not Guard. Marines. The mask is off. This government treats protest like war. Let that sink in. www.the-express.com/news/us-news...

Can you say the SAME?! 🤚 I. Proudly. Stand. With. Los Angeles. 😎🌈✨

PASS IT ON: 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 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.

Tom Homan: We are making Los Angeles safer. Mayor Bass should be thanking us. She says they are going to mobilize—guess what? We are already mobilizing. We are going to bring the National Guard in tonight

When progressives called to defund ICE, it was derided as a bad campaign slogan Now ICE is ravaging communities and attacking protesters With Trump using the incident as an excuse to federalize the National Guard-and possibly as a precursor to declaring martial law www.nytimes.com/video/us/100...

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

I truly believe part of the reason this is happening in LA right now is because they want to scare us into not protesting for no Kings day. DT is actually worried he’s gonna lose the news cycle so he wants to make sure everyone is too scared. 1/2

Meiselas: As we wrote on the MeidasTouch account—Trump lit the match, poured the gasoline, and now wants to use the blaze he created as a pretext to burn it all down.

The Marines at Camp Pendleton are on high alert, because Trump might deploy them. This is nuts 🤦🏽‍♂️

1/ If accurate, this is almost certainly a conflict with the Posse Comitatus Act, which prohibits the use of the military for domestic law enforcement, including the National Guard if they are federalized.

Just thinking about how Stephen Miller is the motivating force behind what's happening in Paramount today, and probably the demand to take over California's national guard, and that he grew up in Southern California and apparently is still angry and carrying grudges because he was so despised here.

Jesus Christ this is what they’re basing these charges on? THE USA HAS GONE MAD!!!

Hegseth is now threatening to send the Marines to LA to suppress protesters against ICE’s brutal assault on immigrant garment workers. Just process that: Sending in the *military* to crack down on protesters. We’re now at severe risk of martial law. That’s what they’ve wanted all along.

Here’s the “Presidential Memorandum”: www.whitehouse.gov/presidential... There’s no Insurrection Act invocation; Trump is federalizing 2000 CA Nat’l Guard personnel only to “protect federal functions.” *Without* invoking the Insurrection Act, anything more would violate the Posse Comitatus Act.

ICE isn’t rounding up migrants at Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ meatpacking plants. They're provoking riots in Los Angeles. I wonder, is this provocation laying the groundwork for a pretext to declare martial law? And then I remember all those many tanks shipped to DC, the home of so many protests.
