You are going to want to read this. This EO positions military in local jurisdictions under the auspices of fighting crime. Where they will be in a perfect position to put down dissent. (sec 4, parts a & b) WAKE UP PEOPLE.

This has “Kent State, 1970” written all over it. The military force described in the EO likely refers to the National Guard, not our actual Army, Navy, Air Force, etc. Remember, it was Guardsmen who shot the Vietnam War protesters at Kent State.
Is Congress awake yet? What the actual fuck!?
Section 5 is terrifying to me. State and local officials who use DEI policies to "endanger citizens" will be targeted by the AG for prosecution
Like not only would they stop a future George Floyd type protest, they'd arrest the mayor and police chief for trying to listen and implement change
EOs mean jack shit legally He was always going to do this. Fuck him
Also I dare any reporter to ask trump to explain any of this lmao.
Yeah. This is true. So we are just supposed to ignore the fact that POTUS continues to issue illegal orders? I am not sure what your point is?
Mostly venting. But I think he is using these as scare tactics bc he is already doing this stuff anyway
Vent away! Thanks for the explainer.
What the hell does “unleashing” mean? This is going to end badly for him and his inner circle.
He should have just called it The Enabling Act 2025 because it’s not that much different to Hitler’s 1933 version.
🎯
Isn't this just the same shit we got rid of?
I am not sure to which shit you are referring.
Local leos with military equipment.
Oh that shit. Yeah apparently in 90 days it’s coming back.
Here it goes
Hold on to your butts.
The President has just given an unlawful order to the U.S. military.
I am witholding judgment on that until the legal world weighs in. But to my untrained understanding, this certainly violates posse comitatus.
What I understand from sec. 3 is that basically he will arrest Governors for standing in the way? Am I understanding that correctly?
Omfg
This is why they're cutting supply chains. The point is create unrest so they can claim grounds for martial law.
Better read
“The first time, I had two things to do—run the country and survive; I had all these crooked guys,” he told the outlet. “And the second time, I run the country and the world.” We have a King now and he will behave as such until he is expelled from office by force. This is no longer a supposition.
Agreed. Now we need to mobilize an army. It needs to be large enough that simply branding it as a terrorist org and sending every to CECOT isn’t possible.
I would love to see a study examining how many pardoned 1/6 criminals are now on the federal payroll.
Interesting idea!
This administration believes that it, not Congress or the Judiciary, has the final say in what the Constitution says, what the laws are and what freedoms you possess. This is being put forth not as an idea but as a point of fact. It will be enforced by the DOJ and the DOD.
It is an illegal order if my reading of the Posse Comitatis Act is accurate.
We've seen how much that means already haven't we?
Yeah exactly.
Governor Pritzker said it's time to make noise. 💪🏼🗽FIGHT BACK🌻🇺🇲 And then this dropped 🫳 Setting the stage for martial law 🪖🎖 🚨 We will never have it as easy as NOW to STOP this DICTATORSHIP madness. 🚨 📍Locate a protest close to you: WWW.MAYDAYSTRONG.ORG #mayday #may1st #50501protests #NOKINGS
And Section 2 states that the DOJ will help officers with legal expenses incurred “unjustly” for actions taken to enforce the law, provided by private-sector pro bono legal assistance. So those big law firms that capitulated to trump will be providing free legal defense for bad cops.
Immunity for COPs….what could go wrong? Cough…George Floyd…cough cough.
Ugh.
Here we go. Stormtrumpers.
So this is what the ass kissing law firms will be doing with that pro bono work. Defending officers who violate the law.
One small step away from immunity for cops. What could go wrong?
Wow. Is martial law next? This is truly scary stuff.
They are creating the militia for total fascism @govpritzker.illinois.gov @timwalzparody.bsky.social @governor.ca.gov @governor.ny.gov This cannot be allowed
Executive Orders are not laws Say it loudly and often
I’m protesting anyway. I’ve always wanted to travel to Central America.
This is their precursor to declaring martial law, so they have an excuse to cancel the midterms.
Ugh goddamn it 🤦♂️
If this is getting local police to help ICE then we are well and truly fucked, because cops everywhere are one step away from full-on fascism, if they're not already there. The profession of cop is all about intimidation and oppression, to keep rich people and their money safe.
Look up how many constitutional Sherriffs are in your state. These are Sherriffs who believe they are not bound by any state authority or statutes. Mike Flynn has been recruiting for this for the past 4 years. Add in J6rs, Proud Boys, 3%ers, Oath Keepers, and gun nuts.
Any military following that are following unlawful orders. But I wouldn't put it past them to be operating foreign mercenaries here in the guise of our military. This EO is illegal. It is operating under no authority given to it by established law.
Violates Posse Comitatus Act would be my guess.
Jesus, it’s here already. Why don’t we wake up?
So our ability to protest has just disappeared.
Not directly or legally. But practically, it may have.
No just means more people have to be out there and fight back
Marshal law only if the Generals allow it.
Bombing US citizens on our own territory is coming. It's our fault 18 months 26 is coming
Sent to Langford Sorry for being a pest but this is just about the worst thing. The US mil. is to be used to quash protest. Setting up when something violent happens during a protest-He'll declare nat. emerg. and shutdown protests Why is the EO necessary? Read it carefully. 26 is coming
EO not a law.
#darkwoke Bring it
We are awake! What are we going to do!?!?
