Unfortunately, non of this surprises me. I'm here in Cali, we're a massive economy. The dick-tator hates that he can't control it, but his regime hates it more. We also have a special election on the 24th of this month for District 63. The reb regime is terrified of it going to a dem.

Hence the push for using the insurrection act. If we're under martial law, that means NO ELECTIONS. I returned my vote by mail ballot the day after I received it. Within 4 days I received the text that it had been received & accepted.

We're going to have to go through this crucible. There's still plenty of brainwashed idiots in the country. My neighbors are such idiots. They've got literal blow up dick-tator dolls dressed like uncle Sam riding a rocket. 🤦‍♀️

Can't wait for them to find out that the Medi-Cal that covers their family is getting gutted. They think it's just going to affect non whites.

I’m in shock. Even for trump this is outrageous. Why doesn’t his shitty diet do the work for us??? He truly must be protected by the devil himself.

One more thing everyone can and should do: be prepared to #Resist in even more tangible ways.

Things are likely to escalate even more quickly now that the fuse is lit. So be safe, but don’t be cowed: your children & grandchildren won’t have a chance if you don’t take yours!

trump laid the foundations for this in an EO dated April, 2025. I'll have to locate it. If you are National Guard or active duty military & ordered to violate the constitutional rights of US citizens, you don't have to go through with it. Call the GI Rights Hotline at 1-877-447-4487. This is a legit number given out on Blue Sky. Wildfires in Manitoba, Saskatchewan & Ontario are bad. We did send a small group of firefighters (125) the end of May. So sorry we didn't do more. We did in Biden's term & Canada returned help to us in Jan during the California wildfires. I did a search & Canada & US have a long standing agreement to help each other fight wildfires since 1982!! Native Canadians in rural areas were trapped by wildfires, but Ottawa sent armed forces to evacuate. Our thoughts are with Canada. Be safe.

We will not be intimidated by Trump's actions in Los Angeles. The commandant of the Marine Corps should be speaking out about this unlawful use of the military against citizens. Where is he? See you on the barricades. Trump delenda est.

Good question. Where is the Marine Corps commandant? Where are all the military leaders? They know the oath they took. They need to speak out now! Their refusal to order their subordinates to execute illegal, unconstitutional orders from a lawless president could save the country in this perilous moment.

Shame on them if they stay silent!

I think it's interesting that there have been peaceful demonstrations all over the major big cities in the US including California, but Trump sends the national guard only to the state that has one of the major presidential candidates for the democrats, Governor Newsom for 2028. It looks like Trump is basically manufacturing a conflict for political purposes. This is just grandstanding on his part and his attempt to justify violence later. Hmm, I thought the Republicans and Trump were for states rights. Trump is doing everything from the top down, not grassroots like Republicans were supposed to believe in, that is promoting local government over federal power. WHAT TOTAL HIPPOCRITES THEY ARE!

I resent Trump’s description of Los Angeles and JD Vance’s re-lie of it. They obviously have no idea of the culture of L.A.

I attended my granddaughter’s kindergarten graduation here this morning and parents and relatives waited in line inside the gates this year—I am sure to protect us from any possible surprise and unwelcome ICE raids of children and families. During the festivities the children greeted us in several languages and that is celebrated here. All of the holidays that families celebrate are honored at this school. I just love it. Trump is trying to quash diversity. What a dim and dull man.

It is becoming obvious that the man has a death wish. He needs to be careful what he wishes for.........death will not necessarily be kind to him, he has already made a lot of desperate enemies that didn't deserve his heartless cruelty.

There are more brave die-hard American patriots in the military by far, than are on the streets.

Men and women PATRIOTS that have already SWORN to their personal CALLING, to die for both the STRONG AND THE WEAK residents of the USA, their country, their pledge.

He is kidding himself if he thinks for a moment that he will go down in history as a martyred hero.

Sadam Hussein was found whimpering and drooling in an abandoned well and then executed. Not a very dignified ending for anyone.

The Marines are older than our Republic. Their motto is semper fidelis, "always loyal" (to our Constitution). Is this year the Corps changes it to "semper fidelis ad Trump"?

From the halls to Montezuma

To shores of Tripoli

We will fight our country's battles

And kiss Trump on bended knee
