Five years almost to the MONTH

Interesting how all former presidents are quiet. Their nation falls into authoritarism and they're ok?

I’m sorry but melting down because you see a Mexican flag in LA is so funny

Really Cool how nobody wanted to take this shit seriously

We could've had home care for seniors covered for those who need it. Instead we live in a police state.

This is actually the fault of the Permanent Apportionment Act of 1929, which unconstitutionally capped the size of the House at the 435 seats determined by the 1910 census. We have a legislature based on the year California had 2.3M people. Both chambers have shifted power from people to land.

Calling out the national guard has a lesser effect on people when all other US agencies are heavily militarized already and following the Trump regime's orders. Martial law may have not been declared yet but it sure is being practiced. People are not backing down. #3E #StopICE ( 📹@FilmThePoliceLA )

LAPD when they think nobody is watching

Whenever police lawlessness is caught on camera: think about how much isn't being caught on camera.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

Always remember that Trump refused to call the national guard on January 6th, as his cult was violently trying to take over the U.S. Capitol.

Also hating the government is a constitutional right.

It's not deportations or immigration enforcement, it's ethnic cleansing. #3E #EndImpunity

Aggressively stupid uniformed and armed fucks, YOU get out.

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.

I stand behind Democrats, journalists and Americans who understand this: We are living in unprecedented times; We need to do unprecedented things.

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

Is this just kind of like repeat it until you believe it yourself? Your boss pardoned everyone who assaulted law enforcement on January 6th. Ass!!!

Because the insurrectionists weren’t a threat to him on J6—they were following his orders.

To be clear, this is what an insurrection looks like:

Oh hello, tyrannical government.

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

As a private American citizen I will agree with what terry has said.

Every accusation is a confession

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 🚀🇺🇸

Trump supporters attacked the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 and Trump didn't call in the National Guard.

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.

I wish there was a Magical Girl Show where they tackle Problems like Union busting, wage theft, The Rental Crisis, police corruption etc. Good Luck #LA

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.

Pete Hegseth is now threatening to send the Marines into Los Angeles. Make no mistake: this is a declaration of war against the United States.

Feels like a uniquely American brand of stupidity to try and mobilize troops for the battle of Home Depot
