Not only that, they’re only going after soft targets. They want people in the streets to resist so they get their footage. Cops arresting ICE or Guardsmen isn’t going to look as good and any official resistance is going to lead the feds to back off.

Pass a law making it illegal for any purported law enforcement agency to wear masks and to not wear visible identification. Do this before they arrive.

@jbpritzker.bsky.social executive order this shit immediately and as quietly as possible so the troops can’t keep up in real time. It’ll make arresting them for trespassing much easier

They don’t follow laws. The DOJ won’t prosecute or enforce them

They can be prosecuted at the state level

"National Guard members in federal service generally cannot be prosecuted at the state level for acts committed while under federal command. When on active federal duty, they are subject to federal military law, under the jurisdiction of the President and federal military courts"

If they can prove they are Federal agents. Anybody can wear mask and pretend shit

If they are the national guard then they are

If they are masked without identification, you cannot know if they are real or just impostors

The police can check

If they are willing to do it, it should be mandatory to identify yourself, it probably is

Yes but the point made which was incorrect was that national guard can be prosecuted by the state but that is only true if they are not in control of the president.

Or they can just be shot on sight. They're domestic terrorists and should be treated accordingly.

Right! Then they can't be pardoned on State charges.

Hope so. And hope their brown shirt friends w the power of the Fed won’t start a war over it

That’s always the risk… I’m not saying that the risk shouldn’t be taken though.. The alternative is bending and taking it..

The alternative is giving it all back to the tribes And everyone working class needs to know that it's an option Because the whole reason they make natives seem like ancient history is so they don't have to listen to us

Unfortunately, states still have personnel with weapons akin to DOD. First Nations don't. I'll take Pritzker, Walz and Healey as the line of defense.

Unfortunately we (natives) do not have a capable military response at this time. The tribal governments do not seem to be taking these new threats seriously enough in my opinion.

Yes we (natives) do bikers, white Panthers, black Panthers, the SRA, the entire alt gov Plenty that I don't know about We outnumber the reich wing and we're flipping some of the right working class to understanding that it's bottom vs top Plus nearly every tween on planet basically

I was born to wreck this colonial crap with their own mentalities, and I'm playing for keeps So they can follow us, or be miserable the whole time they're dragged into an Indigenous-led future But we're not on our own anymore, not by a long shot, and Earth still "belongs" to our children

And their convictions cannot be pardoned.

By who?

By the state. States have their own laws and AGs and their own law enforcement.

I would wager the state LEOs are also brown shirts

Well they’re paid by the state. So unless the Feds start paying them I assume they’ll enforce state laws to stay employed.

They can get a $50K signing bonus and a $100K salary with benefits if they switch to ice

Well, there are 1800 Illinois State Police. Maybe shots will be fired between them and the troops sent in by Trump and that'll be the beginning of the 2nd Civil War

Organize, get ready, this is coming to your town too

The DOJ has nothing to do with State prosecutions.

For national guard under federal orders by a president?

They're Nazis. We can pass laws it won't matter. They don't work within constitutional parameters, nor will they start now. This ends when we fucking end it.
