Remember when Trump did this on J6 at the Capitol? No, because he didn’t.

Tanks being moved into DC. National guard being mobilized in LA. Paramilitary thugs being unleashed across America. It's summer in America and fascism is in full bloom.

Information on Governors' powers when a president mobilizes the National Guard. www.brennancenter.org/our-work/ana...

What's happening tonight is anything but law and order. Don't be deceived.

1/ If accurate, this is almost certainly a conflict with the Posse Comitatus Act, which prohibits the use of the military for domestic law enforcement, including the National Guard if they are federalized.

America's greatest threat is our own Government.

Be SAFE LOS ANGELES Trump would love to pounce and start Martial Law He is salivating this Nazi Fascist GESTAPO

You’re watching a false flag in real time Trump is thirsty to change the subject from this last week He’s destroyed the economy and his biggest donor called him a Pedo He’s invading Los Angeles because he’s lost control

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. 877-447-4487

The California legislature and city & county governments should file injunctions and draft emergency legislation prohibiting the quartering of now-federalized troops on private property including hotels under the Third Amendment. Make the Guard bivouac on the ground on federal property.

“No civil police force could hold out against an irate and resolute population. The trick is not to let them realize that.” - Terry Pratchett, Unseen Academicals

Are we sure Trump isn’t importing ICE troopers from foreign countries? Some of these agents don’t look or sound like they are from the US. Foreign troops from Israel? El Salvador?

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. 🧵

Meiselas: As we wrote on the MeidasTouch account—Trump lit the match, poured the gasoline, and now wants to use the blaze he created as a pretext to burn it all down.

Fact......

Stephen Miller is fulfilling his high school wet dream of terrorizing all the Brown people in Los Angeles. My daughter's friends who went to SaMo High with him said he used to seethe while the morning announcements were repeated in Spanish. Hell, they did that when I went there. (Mesozoic age.)

HAPPENING NOW: Protesters are not backing down in their clash with ICE agents over raid operations in the Los Angeles area 📍Paramount, CA

We were at the federal detention center in downtown LA. They deployed some type of chemical irritant that made people cough and we had to mask. The people here were mainly attorneys, family of those being detained, and two members of Congress. @NormaJTorres

Watching what is happening in Los Angeles from afar, I have never been more pissed off at the millions of people who simply didn't bother to vote.

With the $45 million being spent on the president's parade here’s what that money could do for veterans instead: House 3k veterans for an entire year in transitional housing Provide full PTSD treatment for 3.75k veterans for a year Deliver job training to 9k veterans through 12-week programs

Los Angeles is not a stranger to this sort of thing. I’m proud of them and afraid for them both.

The administration gets closer to using the military to crush civilian dissent. Expect deaths, disappearances, and lawless detentions.

Don’t look to these extremist justices to save us.

Let’s be very clear: Los Angeles is the perfect place for this to play out for the Trumpists. The Trumpists hate California and hate Los Angeles and a vast amount of their base feels the same — even the Trumpists here, who wallow in hating the place they live. /1

Call Your Congressional Representative and Senators 202 224-3121 Tell them ICE MUST STOP NAZI GESTAPO WITH NO IDENTIFICATION WEARING MASKS Dragging away Children, Women, Families, and Men Stay Safe People of Los Angeles are fed up Keep strong We SUPPORT Los Angeles

This was their plan. This is what they want. They picked LA on purpose.

NEW: Lawyers for Abrego Garcia have asked Judge Xinis to consider the CRIME-FRAUD EXCEPTION to the government's privilege assertions in discovery. Plus, NEWLY UNSEALED DOCUMENTS. I don't think contempt is off the table yet. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/newly-unse...

My hunch is that, as we saw with Lafayette Park, National Guard troops are not going to be as compliant as this administration thinks. It’s one thing to unleash cops consumed by warrior cop culture on neighborhoods. Quite another to send reservists who are also accountants, barbers, and teachers.

LOS ANGELES: Stay off the streets tonight. Stay home. Stay safe. Tom Homan says the National Guard might be deployed — and I’m telling you, he wants violence. They’re baiting us to react so they can escalate. Rule #1: Never protest at night. That’s when the worst happens—under cover of darkness.

Ahem.

📌Trump is a fascist thug who picked this fight in L.A., just like he picked the last one in D.C. Fuck this guy.

This is the cycle: raid, escalate, criminalize the response, send in troops. ICE raids are not neutral, they’re psychological warfare on communities, and now they’re using military backup. This isn’t enforcement. It’s state-sponsored intimidation.

The Border Patrol can go fuck themselves as well.đź–•

We never had to worry about the U.S. military being used against our own country when Biden was president. But that’s exactly what’s happened under both Trump administrations.

Trump lit the match, poured the gasoline, and now wants to use the blaze he is creating as pretext to burn it all down.

There were a few hundred people protesting the ICE actions in California today. Most probably lived in the neighborhood that had been raided by armed, uniformed men who looked like soldiers and not police. The idea that the response to this 2,000 National Guard is fucking insane.

It’s provocation. LA didn’t ask for the National Guard. We don’t need it, and won’t be safer because of it. Stay home, everyone.

All of these violent, lawless ICE officers terrorizing communities and hiding their faces weren't just hired this year. It's why dismantling ICE as an agency was so important and remains so. These people are unfit to be public servants if they hate the public.

Law enforcement across the nation must pick a side. They are either for protecting their communities or they are for ICE who terrorizes their communities. There is no gray area on this.

Tanks being moved into DC. National guard being mobilized in LA. Paramilitary thugs being unleashed across America. It's summer in America in fascism is in full bloom.

The situation in Los Angeles is about to plunge us into a national emergency, except the people that normally solve national emergencies are the ones creating it.

Funny how ICE who is so allegedly fighting undocumented gang members has only managed to round up normal working class people, traumatize children, and fight US citizens in the streets.

The ICE raids are an attack on the US. The Trump regime’s foot soldiers are training for long term occupation.

What’s happening in California is a Trump regime invasion.
