I think it’s notable that ICE isn’t conducting raids in red states, but is instead targeting deep blue states with big migrant communities that will fight back. They want violence to justify more violence. This is fascism 101. We should laugh at them and treat them like the cowards they are.

Sending the Gestapo to terrorize citizens exercising their CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT to assemble while he gleefully attended and posed for photos at a UFC fight acting like the fighters are his personal gladiators-is some straight up narcopathic, unfit to lead, wannabe emperor, fasch trash bullshit.

There are moments with authoritarian takeovers where resistance is met with state power and violence in order to intimidate a population into compliance. What happens then literally defines everything. Stay strong. Stay safe. Stay focused.

Trump has federalized at least 2,000 National Guard forces and reportedly plans to deploy troops to Los Angeles over Governor Newsom’s objections. If that happens, it will be the first time since 1965 that a president has sent troops into a state without a state request. 1/19

Healthcare for seniors is not waste, fraud, or abuse. Food for hungry kids is not waste, fraud, or abuse. A $45 military parade for a draft dodging felon is waste, fraud, and abuse. Paying the National Guard to attack US citizens is waste, fraud, and abuse.

Big point that is being missed: without the insurrection act, the activated Guard troops are now federal army and cannot Do law enforcement. Period

Col. Bree Fram has served in the United States military since 2003. She holds 2 Masters degrees (astronautical engineering & NatSec). Her record is impeccable & her command respected. Yet now, she's on administrative leave because Trump is a bigot. Col. Fram, you are exemplary. 🫡 Semper Supra 🚀🇺🇸

The deployment of federalized National Guard troops to California, without consent from local or state officials, is deeply troubling. These are tactics seen in authoritarian regimes, not in America. We want to be clear, the military should not be used to police civilians.

Here's the Washington Examiner piece that first quoted Stephen Miller ordering ICE to invade Home Deport a few weeks ago. This makes it clear that Miller himself ordered the escalation that has led to conflict in LA. www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/white-h...

JD Vance now wants to use the chaos ICE is causing in Los Angeles as pretext to pressure politicians to pass the Republican budget bill that will saddle Americans with trillions of dollars of debt, skyrocket the deficit, take away people’s healthcare, and give massive tax breaks to the wealthy.

Via "One First," my quick write-up of President Trump's "Presidential Memorandum" purporting to federalize 2000 California National Guard troops; the relevant legal authorities for doing so; and how the move is both a modest and dangerous escalation of what's going on in and around Los Angeles:

KEEP THIS IN MIND: As they are trying to turn the US into a police state, Republicans in Congress want to give this regime $155 billion MORE to build the largest and most unaccountable domestic assault force in the history of democracy.

the funniest thing about the “ice agents are human beings with families” line is that there is no evidence to support the claim. oh they’re real people? what are their names? as far as I’m concerned they’re the T-1000 until proven otherwise

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.

Why is trump purposely NOT sending ICE to any red states since there are thousands of illegals there? why is trump giving red state governors a free pass? why is trump purposely biased against the blue dem. states? why are republicans refusing to admit to these facts?
