Itβs great news that the Trump regimeβs military deployment in LA was ruled illegal. However, the National Guard continues to occupy DC, and we know this regime doesnβt follow the rule of law. Learn how you can prepare for more deployments using the resistance toolkit: bit.ly/resistancetoolkit.

The Trump regimeβs latest Executive Order creates a βquick reaction forceβ that empowers fascists from across the country to quickly become soldiers and terrorize Americans. They hope to instill fear and quell dissent nationwide. It wonβt work. We the people will never stop fighting for freedom.
