The federal government is taking over the California National Guard and deploying 2,000 soldiers in Los Angeles — not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle. Don't give them one. Never use violence. Speak out peacefully.

Maybe Trump will pardon the rioters. He pardoned the January 6th rioters. Oh, I forgot, he only pardons rioters that support him.

You're not going to do a fucking thing, just like how you threw trans people like me under the bus. I look forward to when *you* are protested against for being a chickenshit. Didn't you go to French Laundry during COVID?

This is NOT how you build California for all, allowing the 🍊 pricktator to use CA Guard against their own citizens. You need to stop this and also don’t fkn allow Camp Pendleton marines to get in this mix. This is America, we don’t use our military against our own. END it now.

If only the people of California had elected someone to make executive decisions for the whole state so they are protected. & if only that person had a Guard as well… But thank God you’re there to sit thumb-in-ass while your constituents are being kidnapped off your streets & renditioned.

You really aren't going to rise to the moment and stand up to him then? Your national guard, no legal basis for Trump to take control, to occupy your city, for the purposes of what you recognise to be spectacle... and you will just allow the precedent to be set? Quislings and Nazis look alike.

Dude, learn from Schumer‘s mistakes and don’t bring a strongly worded letter to a gun fight. You know as well as all of us this was happening in Jasmine or AOC’s districts, they would be out in the front lines leading the charge. Where are you?

Why are the women the stronger voices against AH? Because it is their children who will suffer. Newsom is a worthless POS. We need leadership at both the State and the National Level. Folks, the so-called leaders are forcing us to protect our land, our way of life, and our tomorrow.

The National Guard should instead arrest all the masked ICE “officers” AKA Nazi cosplayers & lock them up with actual gang members they’re too scared to go after so they kidnap hairdressers, waiters & grandmas. They need to take mug shots of them and put the images online, with their home addresses.

I would suggest Gov Newsom that, for your own political viability, it's time to speak up more forcefully against the invasion of Fed ICE agents; to be very clearly on side of citizens over ICE. You're being mercilessly attacked by RU trolls from both left( for Kirk podcast ), and the right as usual.

Gavin Newsom ( NOT Newscum as repulsive, adolescent, fascist lying Russian owned traitor pig Trump calls him ), is the kind of strong, honest, honorable leader USA needs right now. The Putin/Trump/GOP Corporate fascists know this, and THAT is why they slander, libel, defame him of Fox & RW media/SM.

Anything he says, and anything he does can and will be used against our entire state. Trump already failed to execute his ploy correctly. Lawyers will file in the morning. Courts will kick 47 to the curb again. Protest in California will proceed as usual. It’s just another day under the regime.

He's trying to centrist this so he can run in '28. Selfish ass doesn't realize if he doesn't stop this there won't BE an election in '28 and if there is we will all remember how he both sides it with the Gestapo and the authoritarian regime.

Newsom can't stop trump from doing this except through the courts. I'm confident that he and his administration are pursuing those avenues as quickly as possible. What do you think he should do? Call on people to take action against the NG so they'll start shooting?

This has happened before— Trump sends in military, things escalate and people die. Go away Trump! You and your poor judgement are not invited. Leave this to California. Gavin’s got this.

How do the feds have the power to take control of the California National Guard (when the nation isn't under attack/what is happening is not threatening the nation)?????? #GovernorNewsom take back control ASAP! #EndTrumpism

Reading the comments…you all know if you choose anything other than absolutely peaceful protests you are playing right into trumps hands & plan. Be strong & protest absolutely but out smart trump at his game …or he’ll just keep escalating and he wins. Y’all know this. Don’t let him win.

Absolute peaceful protests are no longer going to be effective, which YOU very well know. Plus, forcing Trump’s hand would actually be the smartest move right now. He has nothing worse to fall back on if he calls martial law or insurrection, yet people keep fighting back anyways.

Trump supporters have a staggering lack of political awareness. Blindly drifting through a haze of propaganda & indoctrination, oblivious to the authoritarian direction of the government they support. Clinging to the delusion that loyalty will spare them of the consequences. Protest peacefully!

Violence is the response of people with no voice. Democrats have helped ensure that people have no voice by failing to take up this fight and to do their jobs.

My understanding is that US Title 10 gives the President authority to federalize - bypassing the Governor - the State Natl Guard, by statute an exception to PCA. Example: 1992 LA Riots. Like SO MANY "democracy guardrails" relies 100% on good faith behavior & electoral good sense, both absent here

Gov:use YOUR authority to tell the National Guard commander to tell his troops to stand down!!! You are setting the example for this country- do not lie down and let this f-n fascist take over YOUR state. I foresee the American people taking whatever means necessary to defend our peaceful protests!

The Gov does authority over the California State Defense Force and State police to stand in their way. But, the last time a State deployed its own military against the Federal govt military was 1861 - US Civil War

I agree he shouldnt directly cause the nat guard to disobey the president but he needs to be down there. Yeah he cant give orders but nat guard probably wont tear gas their boss. He could make the protest that much safer just by showing up

Yeah, but Trump has authority over National Guard. Newsome has authority over California State Guard - yhe "well regulated militia" of 2nd Amendment. So it may soon come down to sending his own police to protect citizens from Trump, or stand aside and let Trump do whatever he wants.

Anything but that line. We have been listening to y’all say that shit since Jan 20, and it’s just getting the worse. Grow a pair or get out of the way.

protestors need to bring out american flags. the optics of gassing "foreign nationals" under a foreign flag plays to MAGA brain. gassing patriots carrying american flags is harder to explain away when they are accessing the right to peaceful protest.

They need to wrap themselves in flags— these photos will be shown across the country, and the sooner people see moms and skater boys standing up to masked goons, the sooner we’ll see TACO.

Your sentiment is entirely understandable but please don't wrap yourself in flags. It's against the US flag code and in actuality is disrespectful. I don't expect most people to know that but I thought I'd tell you since it sounds like you're inspiring a whole group to do it.

It’s protected freedom of speech. Call Hegseth and ask him to stop wearing it as a swimsuit. Then call Kid Rock to get his tank top and then consider what is truly disrespectful about this situation. The flag is a symbol and it belongs to all of us.

I think that's meaningless, because Trump supporters will justify anything and explain away everything. The fundamental issue is that they disagree with you. They'll invent something to complain about before they treat you as a legitimate equal.

Any officer or solider who then disobeys and does not stand down without a subsequent invocation of the Insurrection Act or an Act of Congress is in violation of their Oath and subject to court martial. Get the lawyers involved and the brass will be forced to declare allegiance to US or him.

1) no invasion by foreign power 2) no rebellion or insurrection 3) very flimsy justification for “unable with the regular forces to execute the laws of the United States” Will easily lose in court on the last point, and the first two aren’t even close. This is a trial balloon, and CA is failing.

Not exactly. It says "Orders for these purposes shall be issued through the governors of the States" which clearly has NOT happened in this case. It's clearly poorly drafted, resting on the assumption everyone would be on the same page. But it's least contestable in court.

If you want to end this peacefully it’s in your hands: arrest every federal agent that hides their face, uses force, enters private property, or kidnaps a Californian. It’s really that simple.

Remember, there’s no legality or precedent for anything Trump is doing: the rule book has been thrown out. At this point if you want to stand up for California you have to just take the power to do so and do it.

Governor, how many of OUR rights were won peacefully? COINTELPRO was the federal response to the Black, Hispanic, and Native communities defending themselves. Harvey Milk got murdered for his advocacy. This is COINTELPRO on steroids. Fucking DO something.

Bringing in law enforcement will make it worse.Cops side with Trump.In NASSAU COUNTY,NY the NC Police Officers we’re given authority by CE to be ICE officers! Otis a travesty of justice.

You're a fucking idiot. This will kill your campaign to run for president. You allowed the federal government to take away the only actual power that states have to defy them and did nothing. Thanks to you this will now happen everywhere. Great job.

No. Everyone from the commander to ever soldier that did not defy an unlawful order should be relieved. The President literally has no power over any National Guard that is not in DC. And he still has to get approval to call them. All the gov had to do was say no. He would lose in court.

Governor Newsom, you control the National Guard. Great, bring them in and have them protect your citizens from ICE! The felon may have called in the National Guard, but they’re under your control. Have them protect California’s citizens. Stop ICE!

This is loser energy. You run the state with some of the most annoying lawyers in the country and all you've got is "don't make a spectacle" as if the protestors are the ones tear gassing an entire block???

I think he’s very much aware of the strategy taco is using and that he only needs a flimsy excuse to start shooting at protesters. Of course he doesn’t want to put gas on the flames. Newsom is between a rock and a hard place and knows he’ll get blamed for everything anyhow.

LOL I wonder why he'll get blamed for everything, is it because he's in charge and has been very publicly making a right wing turn in the media bc we all know he wants to run for president

This is good advice, whether people like the source or not. Peaceful protest, civil disobedience are fine and everyone's right and duty. Make calling in the military look like the appalling overreaction it is. But violence and provocations to violence will only play right into their hands.

1 Who said to ignore it? If that's what's happening it should be documented. 2 But if you mean something like "they're saying we did this awful thing so now we should just go ahead and do it," I don't understand how that helps anyone but the federal overreachers.

The governor of a state is telling his citizens that *they* are doing something wrong by standing their ground while federal officers assault them. That's putting the blame on the victims instead of the perpetrators. If Newsom can't lift a finger to stop this, then he should be quiet.

We're not safe here in California with @governor.ca.gov as our Governor, he isn't protecting us - remember this when he runs for POTUS. If he can't or won't protect Californians against our own government, he'll never protect Americans against foreign or domestic enemies. #CASOS

re: LA : it’s clear the escalation is intentional, designed to invoke #Regime47’s desired outcome : the imposition of martial law. they’ll escalate to provoke violence among protestors to justify using the military against citizens. goal? imposing martial law will postpone elections indefinitely‼️

Every citizen of California needs to open carry. It is your #2A constitutional right to protect yourself against these unidentified, masked #KKK thugs in costume. Send a powerful message back to #MAGA that we will not be intimidated.

Sit-down protests are effective!! They will have no excuse for violence against you! We will win!! trump & his minions won’t have the optics to criticize & defame what/why you are protesting. You are able To Make Good Trouble by sitting down for Justice!

In times like these it’s very nice to know that I am lucky enough to reside in the very district of the Congressman who re-posted this! Fun fact: For decades I, and many, have driven past Beyer Volvo where there was a statue of 3 pigs at a trough being slopped by farmer. Rumor was pigs=politicians…😎

Those are PARDONED J6 rioters mobilized as ICE,covering their faces with no ID & doing the Bidding of the T.A.C.O / P.I.N.O,Felon,Epstein Murderer!How many N.G can he deploy to the 50 States of America,before he hunkers down in the white house #Bunker ? SUPREME COURT,CONGRESS & THE PEOPLE FAILED !!

DO SOMETHING!? The violence is coming from YOUR law enforcement. YOUR citizens are bravely defending themselves and the people who have been ABDUCTED because detainment & deportation without DUE PROCESS is very simply ABDUCTION. Where are you to defend your citizens?

I'm all fucking done with the niceties. Unmask ICE. They are pardoned J6ers and proud boys playing a part and breaking federal laws. Arrest them. Arrest Trump. Arrest Bondi. Arrest Hegseth. Americans are all fucking done being nice. It's Revolution time.

Totally agree, except one problem. Americans are scared. Unwilling to sacrifice. Too privileged, let someone else do it. It will take tens of millions in the streets everyday until this nightmare is over. Americans don't have the guts, sadly. When they turn the guns on the fascists, it's over.

I’m not usually a conspiracy type but this all feels pre meditated. Like they spent the last 8 yrs (his first presidency and Biden’s) collecting data and testing theories so they know most of America is too weak to stand up to them and fight, and also that a blue state would play right into this BS.

You are absolutely correct! They have been poking the bear (California) since before they came back into office. 47 hates CA. He can’t win there. He knows it’s too blue and it’s too liberal. Even the conservative parts don’t fall for his MAGA games. He’s using CA to play TX & FL & MAGA base.

Thank you for the sanity... There are other things to do: bsky.app/profile/ogre...

OgreDragon@ogredragon.bsky.social

A "Pressurized" hydration pack filled with Money/rape dye.. a tube running up the arm to a valve attached so when you put a hand back the valve sprays the terrorist with indelible paint . ! you have to make sure it didn't look like a weapon!! and you become Spiderwoman/man bsky.app/profile/ogre...

We knew this is the way it was going to play out I wouldn't be surprised if the convicted rapist felon 47 already has agitators on the ground! I do hope you have a plan because you know Trump is waiting to declare martial law so he can use force even deadly force against protesters!
