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

Let’s look at the facts: DHS claimed there were “about 1,000 rioters,” but Reuters couldn’t independently verify that number. Meanwhile, flash-bangs used against peaceful protesters ignited one of the fires captured in widely shared photos.

Inflaming and provoking violence and division and threatening to deploy military resources against your own people is not a show of strength — it’s abuse of power and a sign of leadership without a moral compass or regard for the law. We are a democracy. We stand strong. You cannot intimidate us.

These militarist ICE raids are the actual government oppression that right wingers dreamed was happening during Covid. They are not up in arms like they were about masking, go figure.

If you really want to drive the point home about how fucked up ICE is then people should start forcing Star Wars themes on ICE. Protesters should start playing the imperial march whenever ICE shows up and should also start dressing like the rebel alliance.

Reports and video show flash-bangs thrown into piles of debris just before a car caught fire, strongly suggesting it was law enforcement, not protesters, who sparked it. More details are coming. Don’t let them control the narrative. Thank you to everyone sharing footage, always record everything.

I don’t think people should engage in violence and vandalism and I don’t think federal agents should provoke people to engage in violence and vandalism. Too many law enforcement officers sworn to protect and serve now look and act like they are in Fallujah.

Sen Bernie Sanders (I-VA) just now on CNN: "We have a President moving this country rapidly into authoritarianism. He's suing media who criticize him. He's going after law firms that have clients who were against him. He's suing universities who teach courses he doesn't like"

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

Whenever law enforcement agents are given a quota of a specific number of people to arrest or detain, especially with the WH policy director screaming at their superiors to hit those target numbers, bad things are going to happen. Quotas always result in civil rights violations.

Imagine working as a White House communications expert when, one morning, you look up to see a crew of unannounced Musk associates scaling the roof. The unit belongs to Starlink, the very company you had identified as posing security concerns. But there they are, installing internet service.

The problem is not that there are too many Americans protesting in the streets. The problem is that there are not enough. Not by a long shot.

ICE terrorizes our communities. People protest, and now Trump is sending 2,000 National Guard troops into Los Angeles. This is how martial law begins in the so-called land of the free.

I sincerely hope the regime is not attempting to provoke riots in LA to use as a pretext for declaring martial law ahead of its farcical military parade in DC. But given Stephen Miller seems to be commanding these operations now, I am not sure it can be ruled out. He is a zealous lunatic.

BREAKING: Pete Hegseth just stated that he will mobilize the U.S. Marines, who are now on high alert, to California from Camp Pendleton in if he needs to. Marines turned on US citizens. Does this sound like America to you?

The protesters, in Paramount today, were able to stop ICE from taking people at HomeDepot. They were pelted wiyh rocks as they fled.

A truly dystopian image. This is happening in LA right now. The regime has escalated not only its programme of disappearing, but its show of force, replete with tear gas, flashbangs, and other less-lethal weapons use. I am starting to wonder if they are intentionally trying to start riots in LA.

At a raw, practical level, they’re just men with guns. Law enforcement is supposed to be different because of law. Because they are supposed to be restrained by warrants and rules and due process and and people’s rights. But once they discard all that, they are, fundamentally, just men with guns.

“Why are ICE & local police acting like hostile forces, invading & occupying our communities, ostensibly to kidnap our immigrant neighbors?” That’s because ICE and local police ARE hostile invading and occupying forces in our communities. They ARE intent on kidnapping and disappearing people.

Of course the LA Times makes it look like a full on riot instead of showing that the mostly peaceful protesters were literally and constantly assaulted by ICE agents. The majority of fires that were started weren’t by the public but by ICE firing into the crowds and canisters starting fires. 🧵

Never forget that the same man who called the January 6th insurrection a “beautiful day of love” and refused to lift a finger for 187 minutes to stop the horror unleashed on our Capitol has deployed the National Guard to intervene in Los Angeles to “address the lawlessness in California.”

No, Stephen Miller, people demonstrating in LA are not "an insurrection." They aren't trying to overthrow the government. They are protesting human rights violations and authoritarian abuses. You know what's an insurrection? Jan 6, including the Congress members who tried to stop the certification.
