If Gov. Newsom had any guts, he would indeed call up the National Guard...to protect the protesters from the thug ICE agents.

@DemocracyMattersALot As long as no one finds him and he doesn't come out again, I'm good with him spending what's left of his life in a sewer where he belongs.

"Ratchet up raids on peaceful people to hit impossible quotas (ICE came close, but did not meet, Miller’s 3,000 arrest quota on two days last week).

Use protests against that draconian invasion to arrest Democratic leaders and invade a blue city.

Point to the chaos created by Miller’s draconian ICE raids to demand passage of the Big Ugly bill, which will codify and expand precisely that kind of draconian ICE raid."

TRUMP IN A SHOWDOWN WITH NEWSOM >>> DEPLOYS 2,000 TROOPS TO LA: In A Federal Power Play... National Guard Troops Brought By #DonaldTrump In Under Rarely Used Law... Is It Legal?... In his second term, "The Don" starts to use martial law "Emergency Powers"....

THREATENS MILITARY ARREST OF GOVERNOR AND MAYOR... On June 7, 2025, Donald Trump signed a presidential memorandum invoking Title 10 authority to federalize 2,000 California National Guard troops and deploy them...

The crackdowns on civilians and the threat of the national guard being sent to LA should be *the* most important story right now-- not the Trump/Musk feud or whatever the f**k that was. People are being terrorized all over the country. News outlets need to get it together.

@mike This seems to be a murky question as under the Posse Comitatus Act a federalized Nation Guard would be very restricted within the US unless the Insurrection Act is invoked. However it seems likely the use of the Insurrection Act when there’s no insurrection would be struck down by the courts. What happens while that is happening though… ?

Gaslighting 101

‪Aaron Rupar:‬

JON KARL: Could we really see active duty Marines on the streets of LA?

MIKE JOHNSON: One of our core principles is maintaining peace through strength. We do that on foreign affairs and domestic affairs as well. I don't think that's heavy handed.

Once federalized under Title 10, the National Guard becomes active-duty military personnel, just like the Army. It would be the use of military force against the state's wishes and without a clear need.

It strips away the governor's authority and puts control squarely in the President’s hands, for a situation he is far removed from, involving people he doesn't know.

The playbook is easy to spot. It’s top-down, unilateral, and involves provocation. That's how you recognize it.

Trump keeps talking about "rioters and looters". In the news coverage I've seen, there's no evidence of either here in L.A. What you are seeing is outraged individuals trying to stop his masked Gestapo from destroying good people's lives.

"If Governor Gavin Newscum, of California, and Mayor Karen Bass, of Los Angeles, can’t do their jobs, which everyone knows they can’t, then the Federal Government will step in and solve the problem, RIOTS & LOOTERS, the way it should be solved!!!" #Trump posted on his Truth Social platform.

#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.”

When the Federal government is calling in the National Guard to control citizens and it's not live on every major news network, it's a SERIOUS problem.
