If this is an intimidation tactic, I don't expect it to work. It likely further escalates it. Perhaps escalation is the desired outcome? I'm sure Trump & Co. would love a reason to militarize the streets fully by way of martial law, although I suspect they'd like that closer to 2026 elections.

just curious when does the 2nd Amendment take effect?

Those gun huggers are just in it for the cos play

California has among the strictest gun laws in the nation. Californians are not allowed to own AR-15s or similar rifles. I am absolutely unsurprised that these Nazis are attacking California. It's like shooting fish in a barrel.

What do you mean? 2nd amendment is the right to bear arms. If citizens come to these protests armed, it will be a bloodbath and Trump will proclaim martial law. And while all this goes on the Democrats don’t do a fucking thing.

That’s what he wants. Then the real turkey shoot begins

The 2nd Amendment crowd has been awfully quiet about our tyrannical government...

For most of them this is what they’ve hoped for

They think it's going to be a lame like a Civil War re-enactment but they're going to be quite surprised when the sh*t goes down.

A bunch of people who have guns will find out wars are about drones now.

“Can we shoot all the libs and n clangs yet?”

Yeah I'd like to know that too What happened to all these stockpiles of guns that all these would be gravy seals and so forth fight so strongly for where are they now? Could it be there actually pussies and will dare lift of finger just food for thought

If they are unidentified then they can and will be charged. 2026

I was honestly planning on self-immolation (really) but I think I’d rather give my life fighting these goons.

Go, Badgers!

This just fucking pisses me off. We have the right to protest!!! I can't wait until June 14th!

#ACAB

If you loved Kent State and Tiananmen Square you’re going to love Trump 47. In 1990 Trump praised China for showing the "power of strength" via its notorious, bloody crackdown on pro-democracy protesters in Tiananmen Square.

Poignant and true statement!

It’s disgusting the way our current government acts. The “less than lethal rounds” that they use on protesters are still blunt-force projectiles that can cause serious injuries & have fractured skulls, broken jaws, caused blindness and sent people to the hospital in critical condition.

Remember LINDA TIRADO 🙌🏼🫂🙌🏼 currently in hospice, dying excruciatingly slowly, directly attributable to the injuries she sustained as a member of the Press via a rubber bullet in the face/eye DURING A PROTEST

Yes! And that’s exactly what I’m talking about here. Even when wearing eye protection foam plastic bullets are dangerous. Thanks for bringing attention to it. And for those who want a link, see below 👇

This new euphemism for rubber bullets, aka non-lethal rounds, is nothing but a public relations image makeover for seriously dangerous weapons. www.nationalgeographic.com/science/arti...

Try telling that to the relatives of those killed by Rubber and Plastic Bullets in Northern Ireland, 17 people

Dónal, that is part of the reason why my parents came to the US. My mom has since passed, and my dad sits here, unaware (age). Couldn’t imagine that happening here.

Me neither and I’ve lived in the U.S. all my life.

We saw that first hand in France with Yellow Jackets protests. Hundred of mutilated people with gouged eyes, mangled hands and feet, internal organs blown and rubber grenade rounds embedded inside abdominal cavity. "Less than lethal", my ass. Those who are using that are assholes.

Anyone on the frontline should be holding bulletproof packs in front of them. Stay safe.

Find the kids back packs with bullet proof. They will group up under cover to fire, so always face towards them.

Nice. ICE gassed themselves. Real wannabe’s.

I just so wish I were there! I would have walked up to them and say, fuck you! I am old and I have seen enough! Time to fuck up these MF's

Fucking monsters!

All hail the heroic ICE protecting you by doing honorable tasks like firing and throwing tear gas at unarmed protestors or putting people in concentration camps without a semblance of due process 🫡

It's what Americans voted for and many would still vote for.

Way too many are cheering this on!

Which means way too many have access to oxygen.

Early voting just closed in my state. The headlines I read yesterday claimed the Republicans have an increase in voters registered. I can't believe we are truly in favor of becoming not just a society willing to hate & harm others but a country that will bow down to fascism. It has arrived, folks.

This was inevitable. It's better that it's happening now rather than later. People are gonna be surprised by how many California "libtards" own guns.

🤞🏼

None of this for The Capitol siege!

Was there a catalyst for this escalation. We have to be careful and document what actually is happening. ICE has been escalating for weeks and LA is the perfect place for them to blame others for their own stupidity

Trump is looking for a predicate to invoke the INSURRECTION ACT. This is why Nazi Miller is escalating ICE raids. 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Bingo! And they hate CA and Newsome. So what better place to kick off their "patriot party!"

All these out of shape Proud Boys and J6ers all got erections doing this

Wasted Boners is what I call them

Why does this always happen under a Trump Administration?

Because he is a wannabe dictator, not a leader of a free country!

We cannot stop. We stop - they win. We grow bigger. And they grow afraid.

Nah, they want this. It is all in the P2025 plan. They are using ICE to stoke us into exactly what is happening in LA. Then comes Martial Law. And the MAGAs have been craving a civil war for years so they will fully support citizens being arrested. That side WANTS this.

They will never get away with it and they know it. There are too many of us to control. I don't care how many tanks they bring. History will repeat itself. Ask Adolf and Benito how fascism worked out.

and 397 million registered guns.....

The book What We Knew is very good. Survivors say to not be silent. So wherever it leads, Trump/P2025, the thing is to keep what is happening alive to the world. Let the world know. And, 'don't get on the train'. Make them work for it.

We are at the point of fight or flight. And I'm not going anywhere. I'm sticking with the US Constitution. And if MAGA doesn't like it, they can bend over and stick it up their Trump!

Call in the National Guard against ICE and these paramilitary thugs! They are attacking Americans! 🚬😎

Is anyone surprised they're targeting California, the state with the strictest gun laws and prohibitions on AR-15s? They're attacking an unarmed population.

You can always drive to a state that doesn’t have the same gun laws. In Chicago they drive down to Indiana. They also have gas, glass bottles, and rags for a cocktail party.

They have gasoline and matches

1/6 What are “less-than-lethal rounds”? They’re weapons designed to stop or control a person without killing them. But “less-lethal” doesn’t mean harmless. 🧵

2/6 You’ve probably heard of some of these: – Rubber bullets – Bean bag rounds – Pepper balls – Sponge or foam-tipped projectiles All are meant to cause pain or compliance without causing death.

3/6 They’re commonly used by law enforcement during protests, riots, or crowd control situations. But there’s a problem

4/6 These rounds can still seriously injure or even kill. Especially if they’re fired at close range Or hit the head, neck, or chest Or used excessively.

5/6 “Less-lethal” doesn’t mean “safe.” It just means they’re designed not to kill. Not that they won’t.

6/6 Know your rights. Stay aware. And don’t let the label fool you. #PoliceAccountability #ProtestSafety #KnowYourRights

I feel martial law coming on.

They wish. There are more of us than them.

Oh... definitely... it should be enough a couple of hundred thousands adopting the "San Diego" style of a few days ago...

Its coming. Sooner than we think. What's happening in LA will be the reason, he just NEEDED one and so he sent these masked tyrants in to rile up the city. Just wait.

Yep this is going to kick off now.

Me too. These garbage motherfuckers in ice are escalating this to a point it did not need to be escalated to and this is what they want and this is what Trump wanted and now he’s gonna do martial law I truly do believe this and I’m not trying to be a fucking alarmist but I believe this

It's only a matter of time. The Trump Regime is anxious to begin clearing the country of liberals.

Good. luck. with. That. ⚔️💪🇺🇸

I hope you are not wishing me luck with that. If you are, you seriously misread my post.

No, of course not you 😉. They, however...They can try, it's not going to work.

I thought President Biden should have declared martial law as his last act as president.. all this could have been avoided

They already called the national guards !

This is not my country

This is the beginning.

You want to fix immigration? Then fix it. But don’t kick down doors in the middle of the night like it’s Baghdad. Don’t tear parents from kids while calling yourself pro-family. Don’t scream “law and order” while targeting people based on the color of their skin. ...

...Immigrants aren’t the threat. The real danger is a system that’s broken, run by people more interested in using it to get elected than human lives. What we need is reform. What we’re getting is fear & hate. And the party in power is too busy playing tough guy to care. This ain’t America.

It is fixed. Laws have always been in place. Now they're being enforced and people losing their shit.

Dude, that’s not what’s happening.

Ok. What's happening?

Yeah. I was driving down through California yesterday, looking at all the people picking fruit and vegetables and wondered where we would be without those immigrants!

It’s a precursor of what will happen to US! This is stage 1. Stage 2 is starting to crack down on opposition to this regime - citizens included. It’s only going to get WORSE.

DO NOT PREVENT US FROM PEACEFULLY PROTESTING! I will sure as hell be at the no Kings Rally

As will I!!

The timing makes me believe this overreaction is designed to make us think twice about protesting next week. Most of those protesting are older, many w health stuff, not young students resilient to these violent tactics 😔

Exactly

Well, I’m older and not deterred. In fact, I think it’s more important than ever to get out and protest against this Gestapo nonsense!!

Absolutely!!

I’m still going. In fact I’m more driven to now than ever. Fuck trump.

Trump wants to scare us. I will not be detered.

👏🏼👊🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼 I totally agree!! Just be prepared and stay safe! We can do this!!

It's the KKK on steroids.

They are just getting warmed up. Proud Boys and J6ers will be involved. Relatedly, iPhones will be built in America again, by political prisoners in private prisons.

They are involved. They're wearing ICE badges, vests n masks

I mean, Proud Boys are already involved but no iPhones are gonna be built here.

The Bureau of Prisons has contracted with private industries before. Politically iffy, but so was pardoning all the J6ers.

I know, but we need more than ppl to build things, prisoners or not. That's why we're not seeing that happen here.

Then so will the protestors.

They're already involved. Trump pardoned them just for this.

We need to start taking pictures of all of these goons and post them everywhere until their identities are made public. And the more they do this shit the more people need to start coming out and overwhelming the system.

Agreed

Unfortunately, there are now more far-right extremist groups getting ignored by the fed govt. and being allowed to grow their base. Wouldn't be surprised if they start 'lending a hand' to Trump's ICE goon squad soon too. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

They have always been there

True. Unfortunately, the FBI doesn't seem to care now.

The FBI is Trump's FBI. Might as well be the KGB or whatever is equivalent in Moscow. The Department of Injustice is now weaponized, and what they falsely accused Biden of, they've taken to a new level. Political dissent and free speech will be crushed, rule of law and constitutional guarantees gone

Totally agree.

Watch out for that orange jobbie’s desire to declare martial law! Trump has been chomping at the bit to roll it out.

I’ve never doubted that he would. He & his regime manufacture the ‘problem’ in order to produce a ‘solution’. It’s how the Republican Party has ALWAYS operated. They want to control by fear. They can go get fkd.

I was going to follow you - but I already had.

open.substack.com/chat/posts/e...

Yes: 1. attack a vulnerable, easily vilified group. 2. when they resist, escalate the attacks. 3. the group starts fighting back, allowing the fascists to say, "See? They're dangerous!" 4. The military is called in to quell the "insurrection."

Anyone who works for ICE needs to be outed and socially shunned by their home community. I know this will inflict pain on their families … however the stakes are too high to normalise participation in fascist militarised cosplay!

The ‘real threat’ is the United States Government! FACT!

If that's true in your mind....why you still here?

Why am I still Where?

Fear and hate. Yup, that's Trump’s playback.

Play book

Playback. Damn auto correct.

Agreed!

The system is working as intended. It's just not meant to work for you and me 🙃

Trump and entire party been feeding fear of Hispanics coming across border in caravans taking money out of our pockets. While hardworking folks struggle.He's called them infestations that come across to breed creating more babies taking our jobs. They been brainwashing folks for over 10 yrs without

pushback from msm. Some know it's a lie but Fox is highest rated news for a reason. They confirm fears folks want confirmed. Folks will pay more in taxes and complain can't afford anything. While voting for people actually stealing their money. They want this unpopular budget bill to pass so feed

them more entice rioting. They'll give up more rights/money to deport fears. They're killing 2 birds 1 stone. LA maybe a turning point but I'm not sure in which direction. I hope folks wake up before it really is all gone. Our money redirected to oligarchs. Sorry for length just so damn angry

Deport the racists and bigots and trump supporters and keep the immigrants 🙏⚖️🇺🇸

Your idea of “fixing it” is open borders and handing out voter registration cards and welfare benefits to illegals. And it has nothing to do with skin color.

screaming law and order while the boss is a convicted felon is typical MAGA

They don’t have a concept of a plan or the intelligence to solve anything

or attack demonstrators that are allowed to demonstrate in a democracy....

Trump released 1600 people convicted in the 1/6 attacks, he pardon the biggest drug dealer in America and people who defrauded Americans, he is a convicted felon and an adjudicated sexual assaulter yet he demonizes people for the color of their skin . This is sick!

Totally agree..these fake ICE agents are mostly from the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers who don't give 2 figs about the law except following orders from the excrement of a president.

Are you the same Human over where X marks the spot?

There was a bipartisan bill..not perfect , but a start. We NEED the immigrants, and if they pay taxes (&they do), they work and live here legally..toward citizenship.

Exactly. And they're not even addressing what the biggest issue is in our immigration system, which is the asylum process. That needs to be refined, streamlined, and there needs to be a lot more judges added. We all know this is just about fear, intimidation and seeing how much they can get away w/

They want the country, this is just the road map…

💥 🔥

Hello 👋

Exactly 47 loves chaos and confusion. Instead of fixing the system he’s making it worse.

Amen!

They want this violence. They don’t really care about fixing immigration.

Hmm hello 👋

Jackasses playing army soldiers. Shameful. UnAmerican.

Same shit as when he was in office last time. Using gas on peaceful protesters. Why is the police and military following unlawful orders? We have have constitutional right to peacefully assemble.

There is a right to assemble, unfortunately, if you're blocking sidewalks or the street, law enforcement have a right to free up that space. Officers do probably need to exhibit more patient tactfulness than they do.

We’ve always been told “no one is above the law” and “military won’t follow unlawful orders”. We now know, as we suspected all along, that is total utter bullsh*t.

That would be in court for a year. His orders will be followed. You're right about the BS.

Many city or county police departments say they protect and serve the safety of their jurisdiction so they defer from this and say this is the feds madness.

now you have to fight for it....this shit is just starting....

I know.

You had that right, seems gone now. Time to get gas masks I think. Or diving goggles and a moist cloth oover nose and mouth will help long enough to get to safety. Don't get tricked into a flight!

Police and military are red, red, red and they overwhelmingly support Trump.

Trump is going to turn a peaceful protest into a bloody riot.

So it’s begun.

In began with Reagan.

AMERICA land of the free under Trump/Vance 2025 & MAGA. It you sat this vote out or voted 3rd party..go fuck yourself.

This is apocalyptic. No one is safe in the United States.

Love you people standing up for justice 💙🙏 Stay safe. Meanwhile, why does this sound like you’re commentating a golf game???

You nailed! - re: golf game like commentating.

What the hell is less than lethal rounds?

Rubber bullets

Thank you for telling me. We learn something new all the time.

Where was this on January 6th tRump idiot chicken

It's the same people Ice is J6ers

True. ICE compromised of vigilante elements.

Keep fighting Cali 💙💛🐻 don't let these fascists bully you any longer, the people will triumph

The MAGAts have been waiting for this moment.

ABOLISH ICE.

I think the most horrifying part is that this guy sounds like he is commentating a tennis match.

This just needs to be all of us. There are far more of us than them.

Here we go folks. It’s on.

RISE RESIST PERSIST

1st Amendment affords citizens the right to peacefully assemble to redress grievances, as I heard an officer attempting to enter a political office say, I'm with the government, when an employee stated "You need a warrant!"

This is true, but I’m definitely seeing civilians throwing rocks and bottles. I’ve been watching that for the last hour on TV. I live up this way. Once the civilians start throwing shit it’s all over for them. The cops have every right to coil them.

Councilor, did you ever think that citizens throwing objects might be in response to riot gas? Arrests of innocent people? Neo-Nazi tattoos on supposed ICE agents?

Yep! That's exactly what it is, I'm not a fan of that BUT we are in different times, it's clear our leaders aren't going to do anything, so they leave it to us.

You will lose that if you get out and start doing that. Massive peaceful protest is the only thing that wins this.

Totally

OH! Because being peaceful has worked so well with this regime. I forgot dictators will simply just sit back and laugh while they haul everyone away until there is no one left to pick up. Gotcha. Idk how people can't see these are different times, but shits not working right now, that's what I know.

U have not seen massive protest yet or a general strike. Therefore, you can’t predict what would happen if we got there. Maybe we will never get there, but I have faith in the American people. People are getting tired of this bullshit, the fascism, the lies, the betrayal of the rule of law, etc.

A general strike that shuts down the economy is the only way we win this. Otherwise, it's an escalation of force. Protests don't matter until we start hurting the fucking billionaires, and then the fucking billionaires start leaning on the government.

I'm sorry, James. But, Trump would let his hair catch fire before he would fold under the pressure from nationwide strikes. He can't lose face in front of the remaining cult members. Look what happened with Abrego Garcia. The quote was, "We can't get him out of the Venezuelan prison."

But if we kept it up, it would cripple the economy and fat boy’s bosses would make him fold

The strikes would put more of a strain on the economy than Taco's tariffs will. But, I'm guessing at this point. Some different kind of wrench will get thrown into the machinery and we're all fucked 🤷🏽‍♂️. I'm running out of gas, mentally. I don't know how much longer I can sustain.

Take a break and come back they’re counting on you giving up. Don’t do it. Stay in for the long haul. This is a marathon.👍🏼

@generalstrikeus.bsky.social Join us.

I will thx

Never heard it said better

Somebody who speaks my language thanks Just James. I have been practically screaming this in to the abyss for months. Nobody’s listening.

Yes!!

Problem w the thesis: blnaire oligarchs are SO materially wealthy tht they BENEFIT from econ downturn/collapse—which 99% of us can’t weather; must sell off assets/property to eat/pay debt—which they buy up at firesale discount…a death-knell transfer of our remaining wealth/power into oligarch hands.

Sad but true, I'm afraid.

That is a fact, but it would require a Citizens' Union that would coordinate actions.

I think people are starting to think and work on that right now. I’ve only seen a little bit of it, but I think it’s starting to brew.

The goal by the Repugnants is 4 Trump to declare Martial Law & stop all elections. Massive peaceful protests is the answer. Let the fake ICE be the violent ones. We cannot have Martial Law declared by this oligarch admin. More people holding peaceful protests the better. Get the Rs to vote Dem.

I AM NOT condoning violence but... You're presuming that this regime will tolerate massive peaceful protests as the 1A provides. We have no proof of that. This is no longer a govt that follows the law. If it were, that Home Depot would not be on the news today.

You are correct they are not following the law but also we’re not seeing very much civil pushback yet.

Oh no, I don’t think they’ll tolerate it at all. I think they will bring down a world of hurt on peaceful protesters. That’s what these criminals do and will do. When you go to a protest and protest peacefully getting hurt is part of the potential risk. These are fascists.

Really? Only peaceful protest wins? The civilr rights era had scores of peaceful marches that ended in disaster due to the gov't goons taking the first, last, & only strikes against peaceful citizens.

You’re incorrect. The civil rights movement was won on peaceful protest. I’m not saying that the government’s not going to be violent and violate the law. We all know they do that all the time. I’m not justifying it. I’m just telling you violence versus violence the citizens civilian side loses.

Peaceful protests stopped working a long time ago.

And ABSOLUTELY HYPOCRISY BY SCUMSERVATIVES???

The government or its agents famously don’t have any rights in the constitution.

Agents have the same rights as humans that the civilians do. once rocks and bottles start at at the cops or the ice agents the cops and the ice agents have a right to meet that force to protect themselves and quell the disturbance. This illustrates the limit of freedom of speech and assembly.

ICE has neglected due process, they're renditioning humans out of the country. They came in the name of no justice.

I agree 1000%. You are absolutely unequivocally correct

True

Fuck off, hide on a hole and hope you're not next

Is this in Paramount?

Trump administration is likely directing Proud boys, Oath keepers, J6ers and the like to incite the violence (pretending they are part of the protest) so that the ICE posers have to react violently to fit Trump's narrative.

That is a possibility!

I would bet the farm on it that you are correct

They're not civilians. They're citizens. This isn't the military vs civilians. This is an arm of the gov't acting as law enforcement working to destroy communities.

Not sure what your point is, but it is correct what you’re saying factually.

How about we don't start tone-policing protests just yet. Protests have always (yes even in ye olde hallowed days of the 1960s) been messy affairs, with some people taking more direct action and others more "peaceful."

Agree. But just like the previous two sets of large riots in Los Angeles, once the flashpoint violence against the cop starts, the rest is a given. I’ve been watching rocks and bottles against the cops for the last two hours.

Against the cops or ICE?

Either one really. Once violence starts the civil authority has every right to come in and meet that force to call the violence.

I wouldn't go that far unless you're speaking strictly within legal terms - "this law written by the rich gives the cops a monopoly on force when it comes to protecting their property." But I'd argue that people have a universal right (& duty) to defend themselves & their community from fascism.

I think Plato would agree with you. I was merely referring to the penal code and the state and federal constitution.

Good point!

ICE has not operated within the law.

The entire Trump administration has been outside the rule of law entirely

You could not be more correct

And an ID.

Go lecture the government to peacefully not arrest any of the protestors. Prison is violence. Arrest, handcuffing are violence. All decisions are supposed to be about the positives outweighing the negatives. Just screaming "violence wrong" without addressing WHO INITIATED INJUSTICE is bullshit.

See now if yall would have opposed this during BLM it wouldn’t be happening now!

Had opposed the government or opposed BLM?

Opposed what law enforcement did to the peaceful protestors after George Floyd. So get on out there and help your bros and sisters like we did!

I've been resisting since the Nixon presidency. I'm tired!

I’ve been resisting since Jim Crow…. I’m over it. It’s time for these lazy and ignorant youngsters to do their part! Our time here is almost over!

🤷🏽‍♂️

Less than lethal rounds can still take an eye out, stop a heart.

Non lethal rounds do not exist.

They were doing that on purpose when Trump was in office last time-

You all miss the point of this post. Fake ICE agents are performing law enforcement duties that they are not certified to do. Firing anything at these people is unnecessary and overkill.

Yup those fucking cops took out one eye of at least 3 peaceful demonstrators here in Dallas during the Floyd demonstrations a few years back. Fuck asses.

Yep

Yes, absolutely. Happened in Minneapolis.

If the people fight back with the same weapons, what would they be charged with? Less than lethal means a lot of things.

Or cause a head injury

Imagine the lawsuits

I knew a researcher who did analysis of these rounds. He called them less lethal, NEVER less than lethal. There are no rounds that can be guaranteed to be less than lethal.

“Less than lethal”? WTF does that even mean??

Don't shoot the messenger with rubber bullets. 🤷🏽‍♂️

There were people bleeding.

get out american flags and leaf blowers folks.

We will never thank you again for your service ever fuck you

I’m trying to figure out why I’ve been listening to so much Rage Against the Machine lately.

Pigs siding with federal pigs. Where is Newsom?

Sebastian, that’s a great question. Maybe Newsom is busy having a meal at The French Laundry?

Citizens, If you come upon an ICE raid, take photos and video with sound. take photos of the Agents faces especially arm tattoos! (NOT ALL OF THEM ARE LEGIT FEDERAL WORKERS, THEY ARE MEMBERS OF J6, HOMEGROWN TERRORISTS, PROUD BOYS, and OATH KEEPERS) www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8MGLNcQ/

If they are wearing clothing saying "ICE" or "Police" but they cover their faces and don't have badges, call 9-1-1 and report a kidnapping by people impersonating police.

That's why Trump pardoned the J6 rioters. He needed them in his MAGA army. Trump is not doing this on his own he is just a signatory. There is someone behind him pulling his strings.

Examine them for dog tags after they’ve been incapacitated. You probably won’t find any ID of any sort on them.

So much for democracy! I’d expect this in Russia or Iran, both of which are friendly to one another, to no surprise. I’m disgusted. Just a couple weeks ago, we celebrated Memorial Day to honor those who sacrificed for our freedom. Said freedom is rapidly eroding under a dictatorship. I’m saddened.

Revolution is coming. Be ready. We need to go to the streets on mass to stop this fascist bullshit. They're ramping up the violence against the people. Insane does anyone still believe trump and the republican party care about the constitution or bill of rights. They only can continue if we let them

What is less than lethal? Huh?

Rubber bullets.

Down with the fuckmuppet. Enough is enough. Down with the tyrants.

"Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable."

The Gestapo is trying to turn a nonviolent protest into a riot so they can bash heads. Their masks will hide them from accountability. Homan is itching to draw blood and his goons are chomping.

Yep, trying to do anything to incite violence. Then declare a national emergency and the "need" to use the police/military to keep us in line. People keep acting like they won't pull EVERYTHING possible to stop or rig the midterm elections.

Absolutely, you are spot on!

He's already doing it by trying to take over the state's national guard.

Two thousand national guards being called up according to California governor.

To keep the Gestapo from killing Californians - or to help the Gestapo?

Since Trump has ordered them there, you know the answer. 😔

I just hope the National Guard realizes it’s not their job to fire on Americans.

If only it was to push back against the ICE nazis But no. Citizens will be the target

hmm, what's the population of California...?

Real patriots gotta stand up and resist. Boston fucking massacre.

Let’s hope the Gestapo doesn’t kill anyone.

Yeah. I agree but the “blood of patriots…”. Crispus, Medgar and Emmitt come to mind.

Medgar Evers is a WWII veteran. The drunken Sec.ofDef. wants to take Evers name off a ship for only one reason: the trump criminal organization wants to erase the history of the USA that includes brown & black people in order to promote the ridiculous narrative that white Europeans built this land.

If democracy survives, we'll need Nuremberg trials.

Fuck yes, we will.

I saw a lot of fat boys in riot gear, tripping on their own feet. If this is their "army", they're screwed.

Fat boys equipped with military weapons are dangerous. I do, however, agree that in a fair fight with all weapons being equal, these chubby wannabes would get their flabby asses kicked.

The City of Rodney King isn't taking this shit lying down.

LA has always been the Nation’s thermometer. Behind them 100%. Can’t wait for #nokingsday

It’s looking more like Tiananmen Square. Trump’s America.

THIS!!!!!

RIP 😔 RODNEY KING 👑

Secret police with faces covered. I don't believe these are real local police. I think they are Trump's pardoned "militia" groups and J6ers. If we saw their faces we would know who they are.

They are Jan6ers!Where are their legitimate warrants? They want to haul off anyone who’s not Caucasian. These are Nazi thugs. These are Nazi thugs. These are Nazi thugs. These are Nazi thugs. These are Nazi thugs. These are Nazi thugs.

Which is how you get a dictatorship

Actually, this is how revolution happens. And a revolution is the only thing we have to stop this dictator.

I know 😞 I just thought we had more time

I know, many thought this. I've been prepping since 2016... LoL! I could see what was coming sooner than most, but I'm a different kind of thinker. I look for the "what if's" and watch who's in charge. Too many coincidences equal, I'm not crazy! 😁

Are you fucking winning yet trump?! You coward! Draft dodger! Pedophile! Thief! Stealing from a children’s cancer charity is the lowest a snake like you can go! Bankruptcy King! Business Failure! Unfaithful cheating bastard! Lying hypocrite! Inciting an Insurrection makes you a TRAITOR!! FO n die!

I support the resistance there. I wish I was there to help.

📌

ICESTAPO

I miss Joe Biden. We didn't have riots and the chaos that Trump causes. I miss the peace we had under Joe's leadership.

It appears ICE is inciting violence, not protesters.

This is their script, ICE, LE, FEDS. Then they blame violence and chaos on protesters. For those not paying attention they'll believe their lies.

RESIST RESIST RESIST

We must do what we can...show up at the mass peaceful protest June 14th. NoKings.org to fine a protest near you.

Fuck LAPD Fuck ICE They’ve declared war on citizens

Remember when this country lived in fear of mass shootings?

Remember what California is doing today and maybe DC can do the same on the 14th. ( Dickheads birthday)

Gestapo.

What banana republic is this? Oh.

Nicaragua or Tblisi. But wait is 2nd amendment not designed for this? Gestapo is here.

This is outrageous and illegal use of force against our own citizens. ICE are the ones that need to be arrested!!

The dumbbells from ICE/Border Patrol ran into a dead end street and have been stuck for hours now missing lunch for Meal Team 6. Looks like LA Sheriffs will now help clear the protest so these fools can be rescued.

For a long time all they had were smoke bombs and tear gas but the breeze kept blowing it back on them not the protestors. These guys really are the keystone cops.

Unfortunately, this is where it's going across the country. We can mitigate our risks by organizing in an anonymous, decentralized, and secure way. Please repost. #thedelugeiscoming 🌧️🌊 PS: GFY if you care more about the quick AI info graphic than actual resistance. This is guerrilla organizing.

Useless ppl

Bidens' America next to Trumps' America.....different world😢

All I see are terrorists dressed in military equipment attacking unarmed Americans.

US military is the world's largest terrorist organization.

Trump is responsible for this and the deeply bad that's coming to America. Good luck everyone.

Some of those guys with military fatigues have don’t tread on me and faded American flag bandannas and fake costumey T-shirts. Who ACTUALLY are those supposed ICE agents?

Pardoned J6 psychos

They aren’t using actual agents in large part. They’re pardoned insurrectionists or simply just young pups trying to be big by wearing masks and kidnapping g people.

I think the routers live stream zoomed in on them and some have body cameras that are clearly off, fanny packs, and patches that are sewn on crooked. They’re not real. They’re just standing there in front of Home Depot, protecting the potted plants. 😅

I mean, protect the plants, but rubber bullets (steel balls wrapped in rubber) are a bit much for a Home Depot 😂

Can we verify these military personnel are actually Americans? Foreign military planes landed at LAX this morning.

thats definitely possible, but i think there are also enough bloodthirsty trash Americans who would also take part (we should find out for sure though)

From a Georgetown Law document: Although private paramilitary organizations often seek to recruit law enforcement officers and members of the military, participating in private paramilitary activity is illegal and can result in termination of one’s employment and criminal consequences.

Only if the powers that be follow and execute the law and aren’t conspiring with these folks just to break the law.

That might be a bridge too far for some of these renegades.

It wasn’t on Jan 6, it wasn’t when people ran Biden-Harris Campaign buses off the road. I think that line has been crossed. I don’t like it but here we are -see CSPOA www.splcenter.org/resources/ex... don’t forget RAGA and the part it played with Jan 6

100%

Definitely

The Americans

That is a really good question Michele... Anyone here knows who can verify that? If so... don't say it here... just make a call and encrypted one.

Any updates?

I am watching TikTok LIVE videos, and there was a white guy that approached the so-called ”ICE” agents and was asking them questions and they were refusing to speak to him. I don’t know if they all speak English. Still Firing flash bangs and tear gas.

Start taking pictures of all the goons! Then post them everywhere so they can be identified. And then we can start fucking with them.

I can’t rewind the live footage on TikTok, but the Reuters is being recorded and I can rewind that and get some screenshots. I’ll post them later. I literally think they’re going potty and getting water right now and the real cops are advancing.

Where did you see that? I did a search and couldn't find it. I'm very curious about this development. Oh, the implications...

When the violence started in Eastern Ukraine under rule by a Putin puppet, Russia sent soldiers in masks and surplus uniforms with no insignia, posting as Eastern Ukrainians fighting a civil war. #LittleGreenMen

What happened to America? This is sad and terrifying

The majority of white americans decided they hated women and minorities enough to let a sexual abuser/fascist take control again!

What country is this???

United States of Maga Madness

Marshall Law is coming because of these protests

It's coming even if everyone sits at home watching tv. The regime wants this more than anything. They want total control.

exactly this. 👆

Beware America. The fascists are coming.

This is terrible!

"less than lethal" does NOT mean it's not lethal or maiming. People will lose their lives to these pigs. They will end up with broken bones & exploded eyeballs, as the cops are firing AT the people with those "rubber bullets" and NOT bouncing them off the ground first. Those "rubber bullets" kill

THANK YOU!!!!! We had LE and FEDS use this and more during BLM protest in Portland, Oregon and many people were seriously injured (one young man lost an eye). Pure luck no one was killed.

Indeed. The cops are not about being cops anymore. With them siding with ICE, a LITERAL Gestapo force, it just shows how much they have zero value to society as a whole. Cops that side with these Gestapo, should be brought to eventual trial for their war crimes & crimes against humanity too.

Unbelievable!

The American government has caused the protesters to rise up and fight back. Any idiot knows without resistance we will all be herded up, sent off to uncertain destinations and eventually murdered.

trump hoping for Marshal Law…..

😡😡😡

And Stephen Miller is loving it all, I'm sure. Watch him start calling this an insurrection, and try to convince his f****** idiot boss to declare Martial Law. 🙄 This time around there are no guardrails or adults in the room like the last time.

I think he already called it an insurrection earlier today

See? 😬

Mark ICE with some sort of dye ,so the masks don't help hide them ANYMORE.

NATO is obligated to invoke article 5 on ICE since it is attacking a member country

Time to hunt and doxx. Young’uns, you know what to do!

The police are, as usual, on the wrong side of the law. It's far past time to fire 'em all.

What? The law is being enforced. Please explain.

Breaking the law is the opposite of enforcing it, moron.

I MOCK the police and ICE getting hit with rocks & bottles! 😆🤣🤣🤣 That enrages MAGAts & trump. Doing exactly what Mark Romano & others said to do. Doing exactly what scumservative MAGAts/trump did to a woman who died from an illegal abortion. If this war escalates MOCK any harm done to cops/ICE.

The protestors have no obligation to give a fuck about the law since CONVICTED 34 FELONY CRIMINAL TRUMP & all the sex traffickers & J6 violent TERRORISTS & TRAITORS he freed don't obey the law & are not in prison. So, these protestors have EVERY right to demand government DROP CHARGES!

Very good argument

Thank you. Some troll had replied "yawn" because he was too stupid & lazy to read my post & learn

Please don't bother pretending to be this extreme of an idiot. There's no way in hell this level of use of force is appropriate. Police may be able to consistently get away with committing police brutality, but it's not legal

Yea it's called following the rules. It's been missing in America for awhile. Actually countries around the world have starting saying, Enough!

Law of Explosion in Logic! What happened to allowing anyone to QUESTION the establishment & this MYTH they BRAINWASH students in law school & police academy that fighting back against cops is "illegal" if THEY initiated force & selective law enforcement?

So what happened to ALL the bullshit I've heard about "if you stand up to bullies then they'll back down"? Well, the police & ICE are the bullies. What happens when the rules/laws are so unfair & we DON'T HAVE A PAID GOVT ARMY ON OUR SIDE, like when one nation's army fights another nation's army?

Yeah yeah nobody's going to engage you here man. It's 2025, take your revenge porn needs somewhere else

My bad, Alt Randall. I really didn't mean to reply to YOUR post. It was to reply to the fascist to whom YOU replied.

There are a lot of people who are under or unemployed. They are fed up, have nothing to lose, and they got time. The crowds will increase and unfortunately, people are going to get hurt, including ICE

This fucking administration was dodging the draft and hiding as cowards instead of paying attention to what was happening during Vietnam. So here we go repeating history and sending the National Guard to do what police officers are trained to do.

They started a war when they installed a despot the people did not want. They will not win.

Governor Newsom - hello?! Speak up to stop this crime against your citizens!!!

ICE is not bulletproof.

B.S.

CRUSH THEM CRUSH the fascist govt. Phxcks

Crazy. Kkk

Trump, MAGA, and their wealthy Christofascist backers have only one true power: The Illusion of Power. Know this in your heart and stay the path.✊🏽

You have a crew of chicken ICE. This is so unnecessary!do things the right way, the legal way. No one gets hurt!

And now we are at war

Why hasn't @governor.ca.gov called out the National Guard to protect his residents?

From ICE? People protesting without violence is perfectly legal. ICE is provoking, causing and instigating violence by shooting protestors.

Sorry. Yes, from ICE. My meaning was too vague. The governor should call up the National Guard to protect Californians from ICE and this regime.

My understanding is that Trump has taken control of the CA national guard. Hegseth is also now threatening to send in the marines.

Jfc. This is going to ripple across the nation. Governors need to get their shit together and commander the guard in their state before 47 does. @governorwalz.mn.gov @govpritzker.illinois.gov @govofco.bsky.social @govandybeshear.bsky.social @govwesmoore.bsky.social @govwhitmer.bsky.social

They are really not going to like how martial law works out here.

Here is what Gov Newson posted. “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.”

Fuck. Newsom should have taken control of the guard earlier. Idiot.

Also... thank you for posting.

For what purpose. These protest of ten to maybe 100 people were not 'out of hand'. It is usually some kind of 'police action' that turns protests nasty.

To avoid the exact thing that happened - 47 usurping authority as per usual. It's absolutely ridiculous that Newsom didn't see this coming. Just pure ineptness and the reason dems' approval ratings are in the fucking toilet.

That would not have mattered. You don't think the federal government can federalize the national guard after a state governor has activated it?

From my understanding, the National Guard can only be called up once so whoever gets there first, wins.

There is more than a slight possibility that you're understanding may be incorrect.

Maybe. But I don't think so. Though open to being proven wrong.

You know, there is this thing called Google.

Never heard of it

No problem. Just Google it.

Because Trump called them out. Illegally

Then we better see Newsom's AG file a suit tomorrow alleging as such because that mustn't be allowed to go unchecked. @governor.ca.gov

“California AG Bonta announces lawsuit challenging Trump’s mobilization of the National Guard in LA.” I’m glad to see this

Here is a post from someone who really knows her stuff: bsky.app/profile/joyc...

Thank you! I appreciate this. I agree, she knows her stuff. What 47 did is surely illegal. It's also predictable he would have zero qualms about using the NG this way and very easily should have been curtailed had dems been on any kind of simple offense. But even in predictable moments, they fail.

Wouldn't it be great if the US Constitution had a means for citizens to form a well-regulated armed militia to protect themselves from abuse by their rogue government.

The 2nd & 10th Amendments were written for now, & ppl seem to have no idea.

News flash! They thought of that. Where are all those 2nd amendment wingnuts? I guess it wasn’t about protecting democracy after all.

AK47up,ppl!

How does a Fox reporter know what type of munitions are being discharged?

As the official voice of the maladministration, they get advance notice.

Only the beginning! We are on a tipping point, and the idiot in the White House is going to send us over the edge.

It will happen next weekend. What better way for him to celebrate his birthday with all those tanks and such. It's grotesque.

I say that all of the wronged and mistreated veterans (that’s all of you!) who know how to drive tanks steal the tanks and take them for a joyride. I have a few ideas on where to point the cannon….

I greatly doubt that they’ll have live ammo in the tanks. They can’t take a chance of having a soldier with a grudge that close to the moron.

Then there's good day dreams.

Copy that!

You're probably right and nothing would surprise me. NOTHING.

You’re absolutely correct! Even the quietest and stay to themselves people are now forced to get ready for hard decisions that may go against their grain.

So the Olympics are gonna be LIT! 🏅

This is crap! They are going after our own citizens! Where in the hell is the National Guard?

Its like Americans forget that they have the right to bear arms, not the government

The thing is, it absolutely must be ICE that fires the first shots.

They already are firing shots

Theyre using rubber bullets and assaulting people with gas. Shots have already been fired They're kidnapping people and trafficking them. Those are shots fired

I see your point. I'm talking about real bullets, though. These ICE goons are not very well trained, and it's only a matter of time before one of them panics and opens fire. The instant one of us shoots back, it will be martial law. Got to keep that pushed back as much as possible.

And if martial law is called, does that make the people shrink back or fight harder? I think the fact that we see them declaring martial law is even more reason to step it up. Because theyre looking to do it regardless.

It wouldn't be a stretch to believe theyll get one of their own to fire a shot at ICE while wearing civvies. Its what they did during the George Floyd protests

Absolutely, and I love how Black people are staying out of it so they can't use "BLM agitators" as an excuse to escalate. If they can't find an excuse, they will manufacture one.

If you want to understand what these assholes are up to you have to think like an asshole. Most people arent assholes however, so its hard for them to think like one

Oh, I'm good at thinking like an asshole. In fact, it's something I have to work at not doing. 😅

I think people will fight harder. At that point, it's a nothing left to lose situation. Really a Rubicon no one wants to cross. Except Trump and his henchmen.

I hope youre right

As a vet, I try to imagine being deployed against my own countrymen, and it is absolutely horrifying. I still cling to the belief that there are some officers out there willing to say "with all due respect sir, no fucking way."

The moment

Of which there have already been several. Do you need an engraved invitation?

Sorry that "the moment" post was a hit-the-send-button-by- mistake post

No, these people (ICE, et al) are morons. My opinion is they will overplay their hand, and fire real bullets at non-violent protesters. But yeah, all those "I need mah gun in case the gobmint gits all uppity" types seem to have fallen silent now that tyranny is literally on our doorsteps.

I agree they are morons. Which is why the people should not fear standing up to them They dont necessarily need guns. " Arms" is a pretty broad term

The good people of Los Angeles and San Diego seem to be doing a really decent job so far.

Trump declaring war on citizens and residents.

More violence against unarmed protesters. And they are just praying the unarmed protesters they are abusing will respond in kind, so they'll have an excuse to shut them down. It's intentional goading.

Don’t fuck with Compton. Fuck MaGastan.

😡

Glad to see the protests ramping up! Let’s go!!!

Protestors need to start carrying their own

Time for we the USA citizens to say enough you either go by our laws or your asses are history !

They wanted this! Be safe!

I like your profile picture

LAPD can handle one 10,000 person protest. They cannot respond to ten 1,000 person protests. Their words. Use it. Be everywhere all at once.

Yes. Think strategically, like Zelenskyy and Ukrainians.

or a 5 milion person protest....

Well shit. My rounds are not, less than lethal. trumps tariffs have taxed me to death. I couldn’t afford the, less than lethal rounds. Real rounds are cheaper and we all need to save where we can right now.

Protesters need gear.

It’s that time Trump has now attacked the American people

Someone should run into the HomeDepot and get a Leaf Blower or two to push that gas back.

If the Guard (which is being called up) has been placed under federal command and is no longer subject to state control, this is the next level of trump's fascist regime! Game On!

Less than lethal is a thing?

Shoot for a few seconds here I thought this was a screen shot of the planet of apes with Charleston Heston

The media better start covering this

Full on assault of American citizens. Nazi state. Nazi president under Nazi project 2025 agenda. We are all slaves; realize that now. Democrats are just as guilty as they allowed the government to become this. Burn the Constitution. Nothing left but anarchy for the brave.

oh boy. this is going to go side wise. We have all been wondering if ICE and Trump's militias will attack American citizens. These ICE people are at a cross road...are they cops or are they SS or worse..... Isis?

The felon’s gestapo

Well they're not lethal but they are using those God Damn rubber bullets and unfortunately I'm sure a few of those officers are firing at the faces of the protesters. Cops took out one eye of 3 peaceful protesters during the Floyd demonstrations here in Dallas. Fucking Cops.

They are the sadistic bastards that they are. They did that in San Diego. They blinded a couple people and they aimed at minorities and the brown people.Their were cosplay boys in the crowd then as well. Some are embedded in the crowd to start the mischief 😈 and then point fingers😳😲🫢😑

They are. That's why local elections are important as well. We never pay attention to those Police Chiefs that hire these ones that chomp at the bit to injure or draw blood. Especially LA Police.

I remember this! It was like eight different photographers around the country that lost their eye, shot on purpose and with rubber bullets. I was following @ killermartinis.bsky. com who had this happen to her. (Sorry don't want to officially tag her and add to her day. She's an awesome follow!!)

No, they are "LESS" lethal. Shit can still kill it's just not as likely. A fucking bat is less lethal but sure as fuck can be deadly.

Yep, they positioned themselves up high on parking garages and aimed for heads. Dozens were shot in the head, in the face and I know one girl lost an eye, maybe more.

Fucking pieces of shit..

Big display is right

Shooting American citizens is so MAGA. 💪🇺🇸💯

Shooting American citizens is so American.

Unfortunately you are so right.

In Trump's America, Americans are MORE DIVIDED than ever due to Donald Trump’s DESTRUCTIVE & INHUMANE immigration policies!

What the fuck?!?! No, just no.

FBI investigating, not the out of control ICE masked men, but the protesters.

mattbarrylaw.com/2024/11/10/u...

Preparing the USA for civil war.

Fascist pigs

I've been watching. The time for kicking back and trying to ignore all of this is over. They pissed off Americans by coming into their communities and taking their family and friends. These 'ICE' agents deserve to be shamed.

These are Nazi thugs. These are Nazi thugs. These are Nazi thugs. These are Nazi thugs. These are Nazi thugs.

These are nazi thugs

These are Nazi Thugs!

and doxxed and beaten and hunted down at their homes

Hanged*

The Police should crash with ICE, not with citizens, that own that very city.

Déjà vu? Tin soldiers and [tRump] commin’.

This is not America anymore. Happy, MAGA? You did this, now go fuck yourself cause your turn is coming sooner than you think.

It's disgusting how many of them are happy with this

I can’t see them. Not online at least; they’re to stupid to operate technology.

They are happy. That’s why they have got to go.

I hope those people who were screeching about "GENOCIDE JOE!" are happy with themselves. You won't see any of THEM fighting back.

Kent State

I was thinking the same damn thing! OHIO needs to be played loud and proud at every protest!

Fucking cowards

💯

Deaths are imminent at this point. I give it less than a week. Prepare for that.

“The whole world is watching.”

"The whole world" already knows we're having an authoritarian takeover

Rocks, bottles, marbles, slingshots. You fucking heard me.

Caltrops, bananas in tail pipes... You know the assignment. This is not normal - RESIST! youtu.be/UXu2PKi81V0?...

People get out there with leaf blowers and blow the teargas back.

Didn’t need to. The wind was into the officers lol.

throw Taco's full diapers at them......🤮🤮🤮

Great idea!

This is what Donald trump wants. He wants there to be protest like this so he try to declare them insurrectionists and send in the military.

FUCK ICE

Ugly feeling out there.

What a horror.

WTF!!!

Dawn of Gilead

This is awful!!!

THIS IS LIKE NAZI GERMANY! OUTRAGEOUS THIS ADMINISTRATION HAS TO GO

@governor.ca.gov @gavinnewsom.bsky.social sue trump immediately

Fun fact: Rubber bullets can kill and tear gas can kill.

Fact.. not fun

🤬🤬🤬

If you've made them report to violence it is because they're terrified they're losing control. Control is brittle. Its unnatural and they know it.

Kent State...

murder swat

Rubber bullets can kill people, stop making it sound like they are nerf guns. LE is NOT supposed to fire directly AT people, they are trained to fire down so there's deflection. These can kill and seriously injure protesters.

Fucking trump and his maga administration have no shame. Shooting US CITIZENS for manifesting, what next? Hanging for talking? I kneel for no king. #DoYouHearThePeopleSing

Beware of fake protesters in your crowd: - Masks - Groups of runners - Loudly encouraging violence - beware of clubs/bats and Molotov cocktails - Call the cops as appropriate.

My fears too. Good advice!

bsky.app/profile/seiu...

Those protesters are an inspiration!

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

It has started.

Every one should be armed with Mace that can squirt at least 20 feet!

Firecrackers under their ICE transports 🧌
