i don't want to dunk on any of the people who replied or quoted this with a "well ackshully the national guard will shoot protesters, look at kent state," but my request is to a) remember that kent state was over half a century ago and b) read about the NG's response in its aftermath

The world is watching. And we have friends everywhere. Upload everything, every moment. Don’t give them the chance to twist the truth. We have people on the way to help. You’re not alone. ✊🌙💚

History has its eyes on you.

Spread far & wide folks!

Instead of working tirelessly to take away our Medicare Medicaid and Social Security, shouldn’t Congress be investigating why the President gave a “big time drug addict” the keys to the US government?

Please help us. We have people who’ve been hurt just trying to help others. More are out now. Please, record everything. We will hold those accountable who are breaking the law and attacking our communities. Do not provoke.

This isn’t even remotely legal what he is doing.

The Los Angeles Police Department has stated that demonstrations in the city have remained peaceful. Let that sink in.

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

Your safety is the top priority. Peaceful protesters have already been harmed for doing nothing. The story they’re selling isn’t legit. Please film everything, document everything.

Goldman: Both of the issues Marjorie Taylor Greene raised—were widely publicized and thoroughly debated in committee and on the House floor. If you’re publicly admitting that you didn’t know what you were voting on and now regret it—you’re not competent or qualified to serve in Congress.

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.

Just to recap, Trump has taken the extraordinary step of federalizing 2000 member of the California National Guard — over the objections of the state’s governor — in response to a protest that currently involves A FEW DOZEN PEOPLE AT A HOME DEPOT

ICE is a much greater threat to this country than illegal immigrants. The current administration ia by far the greatest threat this country faces. The problem is not st our borders. It is in the White House.

My opinion—just a guess—as to why Elon Musk has so pathetically tucked his tail and run away is that he now perceives martial law is near and is genuinely afraid of what Trump is capable of, including having him arrested without due process. Musk is a huge coward, so this tracks.

I feel like we aren’t making a big enough deal about how insane this is

😃

it appears to be official that for the first time in decades the president has federalized national guard troops and is sending them in to Los Angeles this evening. This is the statement from the White House It’s about to get very, very scary now. Be safe y’all. Fight for one another.

Maybe GOP can stop robbing the poor for the rich. Fuck the rich. They give us plenty of distractions while they rob our treasury and our military defense. It's all just too easy to see.

We’re not a perfect country, but we once were a sane country. Now, all the criminals are in charge.

The 9000 Who Never Made It Home was a haunting, large-scale art installation created on the beaches of Normandy in 2013 to mark International Peace Day and honor those who died during the D-Day landings.

Better safe than sorry… 🚨Heavy ICE Presence Expected in Los Angeles on Sunday. A bilingual warning is being shared with the community — including areas to avoid. Stay alert. Protect each other. Know your rights.

this is "Was there any sign of violence?" "You mean, other than the dead body?" level of walking-into-it.

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/?)

They arrested Rev Dr Wm Barber today as he lead prayer 😢

The times we live in now will reverberate for centuries. How do want to be remembered is the question? #revolution

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple. Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

The National Guard may be deployed in Los Angeles tonight. Not for an earthquake. Not for wildfires. But to silence protests against ICE raids. This is a humanitarian crisis. And peaceful protest is not a crime. It is a cry for dignity. A demand for justice.

Ah. So it wasn't 5th Avenue after all. It was the streets of Los Angeles.

But keep telling us how they care about the debt and efficiency. This colossal waste will stand as a historic monument to his malignant narcissism.

Where are our representatives? On vacation?

Phang: We are just 19 weeks—approximately—into the second term of the Trump administration. We have another three and something years to go, people. We cannot allow the DOJ to be led by a lackey of Donald Trump. That is the type of shit you see in a dictatorship.

I have just released a new double pack with again a total of 300 great blue crew members! No kings day is just a week away we need to keep the pressure and the motivation, let’s go please share and repost. Sorry again if you are not in the packs. go.bsky.app/3faKzAi go.bsky.app/S8YqvEi

We are about to have a lot of National Guard ILLEGALLY on the streets of Los Angeles
