Republicans constantly attacked Merrick Garland for prosecuting violent J6ers instead of peaceful George Floyd protestors. GOP senators even blocked US Atty nominations for most of 2021 (including in DC, which delayed the J6 Trump probe). Expect Bondi to go after peaceful protestors hard.

#ProudBlue This is what is happening in LA right now. We don’t need help. We don’t want the Marines or National Guard. Our city & state are fine!!! GET OUT! @jesscraven101.bsky.social video credit

Authoritarians fear sunlight. Document everything. Livestream. Archive. Leak. Truth makes tyrants bleed without a single bullet.

If you’re watching @maddow.msnbc.com’s A Block you understand that people who stand up for other people can change the course of those people’s lives & our history. We have the power to refuse Trump’s path forward. Protesting actually works. Let’s go.

Sending Marines to face off against citizens on U.S. soil is fundamentally un-American, a MASSIVE waste of taxpayer dollars, and an insult to our servicemembers.   A dangerous and needless escalation by a wannabe dictator.   Everyone must speak out against this abuse of power.

Boycott their donors. Jam their propaganda. Refuse to play along. Authoritarians need your obedience - deny it.

it’s wild to me that I had to give my kids a “if mom gets arrested protesting an ICE raid kidnapping” game plan in my little local town. wasn’t expecting it so fast

One protest can be ignored. Ten thousand coordinated across cities? That’s pressure. Strategy turns outrage into outcomes. www.fiftyfifty.one

Both Putin and Taco are using the EXACT same methods to kidnap children. 🙏 🇺🇦

This right here don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Our governor knows it too.

Service Employees International Union California president David Huerta now faces a federal charge of conspiracy to impede an officer after his violent arrest and injury on Friday at a garment warehouse. Full story: lataco.com/grand-park-p... By @janettev.bsky.social

I’ve been to multiple protests in Nashville. Not one of them has been violent. For my representative to claim an “insurrection” is being planned is 🐂💩. Indivisible is known for being peaceful. We will sing, we will chant and we will support Killar Abrego Garcia and immigrants in our community.

Nights of BLUE SKIES (sound) DAY 9 JUNE 2025 If this doesn't break your heart Walk in Their Shoes Think if this was your family This young girl, her mom Dragged off by ICE Not a criminal Thousands & thousands are going through this all over our Country America STOP THIS PLEASE

Share this. It’s why the White House demanding ABC get rid of Terry Moran. Moran has been suspended. What Moran said is accurate and true. Make sure his post makes the rounds.

Confirmed, about a federal officer ID requirement under certain condutions- thanks to @jctheresistance.demcast.com - " (a)Requirement.—Whenever a member of the armed forces (including the National Guard) or Federal law enforcement personnel provide support to Federal authorities ...

Q: "Would you support mobilizing the Marines and do you think Congress would need to sign off on that first?" Sen. Lankford: "Active duty marines are not going to be put into local law enforcement...Local law enforcement should take care of this."

Bash: "The Defense Secretary tweeted holding out the possibility of active duty Marines to be mobilized. You would be okay with that?" Sen. Ron Johnson: "It won't be necessary."

Republican pundits: These protestors are flying the flags of foreign countries! Also Republicans:

The battle in California is NOT about immigrants. It's about our FREEDOMS.

I stand with David Huerta, workers, & immigrants! Felon/GOP are quick to violate due process; escalate tensions; arrest labor leaders & Dem electeds engaged in peaceful protest &/or legal oversight; & send military against civilians! When it comes to responding to genuine crises, felon/GOP are slow!

Well I think this is official confirmation that Bluesky has the Juice

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. ☎️ 1-877-447-4487 From #veterans to #activeduty personnel.

Let’s talk about Stephen Miller, shall we, because if a botched exorcism learned to say “anchor baby” before it learned empathy, you’d have Stephen Miller. 👇 open.substack.com/pub/jojofrom...

He’s disappearing innocent people off of our streets and ordering the military onto our streets. He does not give a damn about the rule of law. He is the very tyrant our founding generation rose up against 249 yrs ago. It’s time for the American people to rise up again.

There is no reason that ICE needs to hire violent thugs to deport people that are here illegally. It can be a peaceful process that works within our laws and respects the rights of every human. They are putting on this spectacle to terrorize the people. It is all for show.

The governor said the protests have been "provoked by chaos from Washington." "We’re here to keep the peace — not play into Trump’s political games," Newsom wrote alongside a photo of the meeting.

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.

Mayor Bass called deploying federal troops a dangerous escalation driven by a hidden agenda, not public safety. She criticized the lack of plan and policy. At the same time, she condemned protest violence, warning that those causing chaos, like freeway takeovers, must face consequences.

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.

Senator Ted Cruz posted a dramatic video of LAPD cars on fire with the caption “this… is… not… peaceful.” What he didn’t mention? The footage was from 2020, not 2025. His post on X falsely implied it was current, part of a broader effort to spread lies and manufacture a crisis.

This is how autocrats consolidate power—create a crisis, send in the military, and claim it’s to restore order. Trump’s move in LA is a test run for using federal force against political opposition, just like crackdowns in Russia.

Asking where a politician who isn't in office like Barack Obama or Kamala Harris is - is clickbait. You should be asking where the people who ARE elected are and what they are doing. You should be asking where John Fetterman is, because that guy is a walking wellness check.

Major General Randy E. Manner, former Acting Vice Chief, National Guard Bureau statement to Fox News: "This is an inappropriate use of the National Guard and is not warranted.”

As always he knows NOTHING! Mark Burns says claims of “white genocide” in South Africa, promoted by Elon Musk, are false. After meeting locals, he found most shocked by the term. Out of 5,200+ murders in late 2024, only 12 were farmers, 3 white. Burns urges Trump to visit and see the real situation

Next Saturday there will be at least 1,800 protests, on the same day as Trump’s authoritarian military parade. Millions are expected to attend. Trump’s trying to scare everyone into staying home, but he won’t be able to stop these peaceful protests. More here:

Hey red states, think trump and musk are not doing the same damage and theft in your area as they do in LA? What do you think of cuts to subsidies that run farmers off their land so Vance can give it to Afrikaners. We are standing up against tyranny. Want to join? www.snopes.com/news/2024/10...

“We didn’t have a problem until Trump got involved,” the governor tweeted. “This is a serious breach of state sovereignty – inflaming tensions while pulling resources from where they’re actually needed. Rescind the order. Return control to California.”

Californians, help your Governor @governor.ca.gov, defend your state and keep it safe. Please do as he says, stay calm and peaceful, and never use violence. Don't give Trump an excuse to escalate the situation; that is precisely what he wants. #OnYourSide

Whiskey Pete hasn't tweeted fr his official account since Friday, since he was claiming to honor sacrifice of D-Day even while threatening to pull Medgar Evans' name off a ship. All his dick-wagging about LA, including his response to Newsom calling him deranged, has been on personal account.

Gov. Newsom told NBC’s Jacob Soboroff that Trump “created the conditions” for the LA protests and called the National Guard deployment “a manufactured crisis.” In response to arrest threats from border czar Tom Homan, Newsom said, “Tom, arrest me. Let’s go.” A lawsuit is planned.

🆘 INVESTIGATE ICE‼️ Call your representatives and demand they investigate these unidentified, mask-wearing thugs. Demand Democrats in Congress hold hearings, sanctioned or not on ICE. We want answers. WHO are these people? Where are the warrants? Why are they kidnapping folks off of the streets?

I agree - ARREST ICE.

Standing firm beneath the shadow of National Guard troops, Rep. Maxine Waters delivered a bold message: “There is no danger, there is no violence… The President hates Los Angeles because we’re a sanctuary city.” In the face of fear tactics, her defiance shines. She shows true courage. 💪🔥🕊️

So does this also mean the ICE agents who are regularly hiding their identity with face masks?
