Perfect for drunk texting classified war plans to all your friends! (And Chinese spies)

Trump declares war on cities “We must expand efforts to detain & deport Illegal Aliens in America’s largest Cities, such as LA, Chicago, & NY, where Millions of Illegal Aliens reside. These, & other Cities, are core of the Dem Power Center, where they use Illegal Aliens to expand their Voter Base”

Remarkable. MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful." Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd. Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

We should've made a bigger national crisis of someone breaking into Nancy Pelosi's home & trying to kill her husband. But then, we should've made a bigger national crisis about hundreds of someones breaking into the Capitol & trying to steal an election. But then, we should've done lots of things.

Remember, in America only the secret police get to wear masks

I encourage everyone to consider attending one of the many demonstrations planned for tomorrow across the country. Show up. Demand accountability. Peacefully protest. Find the rally closest to you: NoKings.org

The strategy is to do your Constitutionally-approved job and make them stop you. Make them show the world that they violate the Constitution. Make them show where they draw the lines and how they want to exercise power.

🚨 Secretary Noem basically said that her agency is now dedicated to forcible regime change…in American cities and states. There 👏🏽 is 👏🏽 a 👏🏽 name 👏🏽 for 👏🏽 this

Prisoner's dilemmas everywhere and most are choosing to collaborate. Which is exactly what you should expect from a society of the greedy.

In their post Holocaust studies Browning and others revealed that people were susceptible to lies, pressure, and normalization by authority figures & peers. Trump has a gift for bringing out the worst in everyone. Yes, He can corrupt the military and lead them poorly into a deadly incident.

I'm sure the soldiers cheering about invading California will show restraint.

Just beyond the pale, absolutely dangerous and corrosive. President basically rallying active duty US military for war against fellow Americans in an openly partisan way via @atrupar.com

The overt totalitarians in the administration are laying the pseudo-intellectual groundwork for large-scale use of military force against civilians.

It's a huge mistake to believe fascism only happens when the leader is competent. Sending armed troops to suppress protests under poor leadership is a recipe for an accident that spirals out of control. Especially when other LE there are attacking protestors, media, and bystanders unprovoked.

The Overton Window has shifted all the way to ban all non-white people from coming to America. It was never about illegal immigration.

Trump: I'm sending in the marines into California and think we should arrest the governor for being my political enemy. Jake Tapper: We have a serious problem, Democrats are old.

Right now, Dems are hiding in their offices, scrolling their phones fearfully, wondering "how are voters going to feel about the National Guard being deployed?" The right, meanwhile, is vigorously *attempting to shape* how voters feel about it, filling every medium with coordinated propaganda.

Policing protesters cedes so many arguments and adopts so much of the right's framing that you'll soon recognize why most policing is futile. Free speech is free speech. If you must police, police the police, who are the ones whose job is to keep a protest peaceful, not the exact opposite.

It's hard to overstate how destructive the reflexive "this is a distraction!" stuff that politicians and commentators and people are always peddling. Everything is happening all at once. That's how authoritarianism works. If you can't navigate and synthesize this, you're not meeting the moment.

Newsom: We talked for 20 minutes, this issue never came up. I kept trying to talk about LA, he wanted to talk about all these other issues. He never once brought up the national guard. There’s no working with the President. There’s only working for him. I will never work for Trump

I'll say it over and over again; you can't build the mass deportation machine without first building the police state machine.

"We're going to have troops everywhere"

No, I believe: 1) The military is comprise of ideologies across the spectrum including MAGA. 2) Leadership & peer pressure is a hell of a thing. 3) Trump, Hegseth, et al are lying to soldiers and no reason to believe they are better informed than the general populace. 4) Only some need to comply.

“This inital use of federal troops in a blue city should be understood as an effort to build pressure to help pass the bill. It should also be used as an example of the danger of passing the bill — the kind of authoritarianism that Miller intends to wield if the bill does pass.”

Don't wear goggles to a protest unless they're rated shatter resistant. You're better off with NO eye protection than eyewear that will send shards of plastic into your eye. If you can't find shatterproof goggles, get lacrosse goggles. Cheap and effective eye protection from larger munitions.
