wannabe?
If only there were previous clues that he wanted to be a dictator. /s
Sue! State charges.
I can’t believe it hasn’t been five full months…
Let us be clear, the last time this was done was almost the exact opposite situation:
The most recent instance of a US president using the National Guard without a state governor’s request was in 1965. Lyndon B. Johnson used the National Guard in Selma, Alabama, to protect civil rights demonstrators, bypassing Governor George Wallace’s objections.
Congrats to the GOP. I know this is special for you
LAPD estimated 300-400 people at the protests yesterday. I find it really hard to believe that LAPD isn’t capable of handling the issue on their own. Arrest the rock throwers and the ones participating in actual violence, let the ones just holding signs be, and wait a little while and it would have died out on its own.
“Tin soldiers and Nixon coming /
We’re finally on our own /
This summer I hear the drumming /
Four dead in Ohio”
History will repeat itself.
First they came
by Martin Niemöller
First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
The difference is that in 1965 it was done to protect civil rights activists. In 2025 it is being done to kill civil rights activists.
It was all about optics; with Taco, it’s always about optics…
Is this one of these stern letters that won’t change a thing?
Are we sure they’re leaving? Seems like Trump might be using this to get his foot in the door here, and could push to expand the presence of federal troops in order to “secure the state from woke political agents”.
Trump wants to escalate the situation. ICE and law enforcement are heavily armed and instigating incident. It’s a mess. Don’t play into their game.
And that one sub and too many Americans are masturbating to the thought of the blood of protesters flowing. For many, the only frustration they have is that they aren’t there to get in on the eventual killing.
The national guard was finally deployed this morning. But the protest is already over. Looks like they are cleaning up the streets.
Let’s be real here. ICE went to LA and got their asses handed to them by protesters. They fled to a federal building and had to call in LAPD to save them.
This was a major blow to Trump’s ego, because his terror squads looked weak in front of the world. So he threatened to call out the national guard. He couldn’t get them deployed before things were over and now he looks even weaker.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Trump tries to hide this by splashing something else on the news, claims victory, or claims that ICE is so weak that he needs more funding and power from the Bloated Bogus Bill.
Call your senators and tell them we don’t want to hand more power to an incompetent president.
Since desegregation? And do the maga sphere think protests against ICE warrants that level of force? If that’s correct then even during BLM we didn’t get this.
He is setting the course for martial law.
Well, unfortunately there are probably MAGAts all over this country who think this is a great step toward „owning the libs“ and see no issue with this whatsoever, as we slide further and further toward authoritarianism.
Fuck Donald Trump. 86 47
End this illegitimate administration.
The Washington Post is sanewashing this by declaring “Trump is charting new territory“.
Oh the critics ripped it? Thank god for that.
Shouldn’t governors be mobilizing their state’s national guard AGAINST ICE? Why isn’t that happening?
