We’re not saying you can’t vote because of your racial status. We’re removing voting rights from everyone whose GRANDFATHER could not vote. This is about grandfathers.

I hope every elected official, business owner, university president, and media executive sees the millions of people out in the streets today and understands: If we fight back, this is the power on our side.
“A deranged maniac impersonated a police officer and killed lawmakers but if you’re an immigrant be sure you immediately comply with plain clothes people who won’t identify themselves telling you to get in a van”, what a fuckin country
This will be on the history books as the start of a dictatorship backed by the military.

JUDGE BREYER: There is NO rebellion in Los Angeles justifying the federalizing of the California National Guard, the statutory requirement to issue orders though the governor was not followed, and the 10A warns against what the administration is doing. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
On June 6, 2025, the federal government initiated immigration raids across the City of Los Angeles. Protests swiftly followed, and some individuals involved in those protests were unruly and even violent. State and local law enforcement responded. The following day, President Trump ordered that members of the California National Guard be federalized, and thereupon assumed control of those forces. At this early stage of the proceedings, the Court must determine whether the President followed the congressionally mandated procedure for his actions. He did not. His actions were illegal—both exceeding the scope of his statutory authority and violating the Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. He must therefore return control of the California National Guard to the Governor of the State of California forthwith. I. BACKGROUND A. California National Guard The California Army National Guard and the California Air National Guard (together, the California National Guard) are part of the organized militia of the State of California and federally recognized units of the reserve components of the U.S. military.

Sorry, Kristi. We’re not your poor hound. You can’t just take #LA out back, shoot us and throw us in a gravel pit.

Do not stop sharing this.
We don’t need the U.S. military to “liberate” our city from (checks notes for evidence of socialism) city parks, playgrounds, and giving free breakfasts and lunches to school kids.
When a cabinet member announces "We are using the military to liberate an American city from its elected leaders," where do you go from there. What is left to say. The idea of that being anything short of a near-universal "Wait, what the fuck is going on" moment proves how far we've backslid.
Disappearing people. Arresting protestors. Arresting and shooting members of the press. Arresting a sitting Senator. Have we seen enough? The water is boiling.
Hey, Pete, I’ll save you the trouble. There is no provision in the constitution allowing for this. This is an unlawful exercise of power. Here in America we call that tyranny.
This is exactly what I said to my distraught teen daughters over dinner last night.
“The possible arrival of federal military forces in Los Angeles-absent clear coordination-presents a significant logistical and operational challenge for those of us charged with safeguarding this city.”

I can hear the sirens coming down FWY 10. Trump has just deployed the Marines to Los Angeles. I hope this is the end of him and that good people do the right things in this moment. Turning the military against our entire city is beyond. Don’t let his attempt at martial law in CA be the playbook.
Trump is really good at inciting insurrections. Like, the best.
