#Trump admin officials spent much of Saturday criticizing the #protests in the region. #StephenMiller, the White House deputy chief of staff [Nazi], repeatedly posted on social media about the protests, describing them at various points as an “insurrection.”
He’s been itching to invoke the #InsurrectionAct.

"In Horrific Incitement, Trump to bring in 2,000 National Guard Troops!
California officials told Trump NOT to bring in more troops; it would only inflame tensions."

Random question: If one of these unidentifiable ICE goons not wearing a standard-issue uniform had his melon popped, would ICE release the victim's name, or would it withhold that information because ICE is doing what many of us suspect, which is recruiting white supremacist, pro-MAGA militia members?

“You bring chaos, and we’ll bring handcuffs.”
That’s what the FBI said after arresting union leader David Huerta at an L.A. immigration protest.
Video shows riot cops shoving the middle-aged Latino man to the ground—his head hitting the curb. Pepper-sprayed. Hospitalized. Still in custody.
Huerta: “This isn’t about me. It’s about how we stand together and resist injustice. Hard-working people are being treated like criminals.”

I'm ALSO not suggesting that if you're a national guardsman driving one of those trucks, maybe you get turned around and take the wrong exit. Happens all the time. We got a really confusing road network.

"Well, it looks like I was wrong. Trump has started the process of calling up 2,000 Cal National Guard troops over the objections of the Governor.
But unlike 2020, there is no citywide curfew or emergency order. 2,000 soldiers are not nearly enough to lock the city down. Should be interesting."
Everybody do us Americans a favor and ask your government to hold America accountable for our crimes. Sanctions, boycott, anything. It appears that the only thing our government understands is brute force and blunt weapons. Gotta make it hurt.
One idea I like is making our government representatives sit outside of the room wherever they are invited. "You can come, but you have to wait outside. You have been misbehaving and cannot be trusted to act right with the other governments."
Update:
“The federal government is "moving to take over" the #California National Guard and deploy 2,000 soldiers, Gov. Gavin #Newsom said today.
“That move is purposefully inflammatory and will only escalate tensions,” he said in a statement. “LA authorities are able to access law enforcement assistance at a moment’s notice.”

"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. if your putative allies — local cops — decide that the unrest just isn’t worth it, you’ve lost face. if your goons are impotent in the face of the crowds, you’ve lost face."
Judge Boasberg's #NoKings Message to Trump on El Salvador
King George III's practice of shipping men to overseas prisons without due process helped earn him a revolution, the judge reminded Trump.
