How very ironic that GOP Governors aren’t standing up for states’ rights here. I guess that only matters if you’re denying women or transgender people access to medical care. democraticgovernors.org/updates/stat...

thats it thats all you got!? wow way to stand up for the people who hired you
Thank you
Yeah, where are those Ruby Ridge fetishists?
They're not going to say anything and stand up to him
💥 💥
Off-topic, but private prisons are a longtime obsession of mine. Already was when it became known that Rubio owes his entire career to the owner of the second-largest company. And before HRC was shamed by @sanders.senate.gov in '16 to return her donations after refusing. truthout.org/articles/pri...
Oralè Resisters Come out L A demand it! Free SEIU President David Huerta ! Rally Grand Park LA 11am today! #SEIU #ILWU #Teamsters #Unions #50501SoCal #USDemocracy
So happy to see my governor's name on this list! Thank you for standing for Democracy Governor Josh Green!
unlike Governor James Rhodes
I was talking about this earlier today. Where are states rights now. The GOP has no truth. They are a sham organization. They let their leader use the US citizen's tax money and his representation of the US to enrich trump and his family. He has embezzled the US economy and our government.
NO Joyce they are in on the authoritarian coup
This x 10000000
Don't mess with California. 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈🗽🇪🇺🇺🇦🌻
"States rights" only applies with a Dem POTUS or Dem-led Congress. "Local control" in GOP-controlled states only applies when it syncs with GOP ideology. "Law and order" only applies to people without enough wealth to bend it.
GOP Governors chose what furthers their regressive agenda and disregard what doesn't.
^choose
The Tenth Amendment is very short and to the point. Usually the right wing use it to protest Democratic overreach. In this case, I do not hear any protest, because it is Trump forcing this military response.
Abbott (TX) in particular is a very disturbed extremist Catholic. He'll never care what happens to a pregnant woman who's miscarrying through no fault of her own.
You and I know it...
If federal police in your local jurisdiction wearing masks and military tactical gear without name tags and badge numbers along with Title 10 soldiers doesn't concern you enough to take action; you're on the wrong side of history, need to study the Constitution, and may be next. This is not a drill.
well you better fucking act fast
I don’t see the NRA standing up against a tyrannical government either, what happened to that?
Statements. STATEMENTS? Our Democratic leaders are so weak. Statements don’t do anything when ICE and the police and the military are shooting at peaceful protesters.It’s beyond infuriating. What are they waiting for?
Just begging the POTUS: Tread on Us!
GOP? Sure sounds soft. THEY ARE REPUBLICANS!
Trump should be in Federal Prison
Yes he should be
Or worse; it is what our founding fathers would have done to someone who has done the things he has.
True!! I’ll take life in federal prison. I would rather have him rot in a little tiny cell for the rest of his life.
Well tbh he may not have many years left which is why I hinted at the “other” option. It would be priceless to see the fear on his face just before..
Thank you Joyce! Keep us smart!
Ain’t that the truth.
I know one Republican governor who has quite the lectern to use to voice her support for states' rights.
Republicans show every day that they don't give a damn about their constituents as long as they can hold on to their money and power. A vote for a Republican is a vote for Fascism.
GOP governors support what is happening. The GOP has wanted these cuts forever, including at the state level. Oppression is their goal, at all levels....governors included.
WHERE ARE THE REPUBLICANS THAT KNOW MOST THINGS THIA ADMINISTRATION IS DOING IS ILLEGAL??!?? I’m shouting because I can’t take this BS anymore. My Rep Senator is worthless.
It’s not “ironic.” It’s exactly how MAGA operates. It has no principles. Anything it claims is purely situational. After that, it’s all about power and only about power.
Oh yeah, it’s all about states’ rights for the Republicans until it’s guns and slaves.
Hey blue states, you’re next. Purple states get a break for a while.
It only applies to women with uterus… other than that they don’t give two shits…
Right !!
MAGA only cares about states right when it’s convenient for them. Hypocrites the whole lot of them!
If undocumented immigrants are such a national security threat why doesn’t the administration prosecute their employers? Why does no one ask this question?
I have said for years if people who hire and benefit from illegal workers (yes like #trump ) were sent to prison this whole deal would stop overnight.
Ohio voted resoundingly for legalization of cannabis. The resoundingly voted against the draconian abortion bill. The Ohio legislature has not stopped trying to create work-arounds to deny the people’s will. It is disgusting. The overall corruption of the GOP here is overwhelming.
All you can do is wait for the midterms and take the house and hopefully the senate back,with everything happening at breakneck speed that seems alongway off but it's getting closer every day.
Gov. Ferguson signed a bill restricting out of stste military force in Washington — katu.com/news/local/g... All of these Democratic Governors need to do this now!
Is this going to stop anything? No. Governors need to call up THEIR NG units to put this shit down.

It doesn’t seem very smart.
Cult
Bingo. I can’t even think that if trump called federal troops into red states those governors would even blink.
I think it's time we start planning a General Strike ! (A general strike is a strike action in which everyone in the United States cease all economic activity.) We need to take control !
Bingo!
The GOP loves to scream “states’ rights!”, until Trump wants to flex. Then suddenly it’s: Send the National Guard, skip the governor, maybe toss in the Marines. And threatening to send the U.S. Marines into American neighborhoods? That’s not public safety, it’s fascism with a flag on it.
So which is it, Republicans? States’ rights or Trump’s rights? Stand with the Democrat governors. Stand with democracy. This is not normal. This is not legal. This is not America. #TrumpPowerGrab #StatesRightsMyAss #AuthoritarianAlert #StandWithGovernors #GOPHypocrisy
...or suppression of black voters. or unfettered access to weapons of war. or infusing public schools with religion. or...
WE THE PEOPLE ARE WATCHING
The GOP drank the Kool-aid- they’re in,or on the fringes of, an authoritarian cult. Zombies gonna zombie.
Yes and we haven’t seen the NRA stand up to a tyrannical government.
I'm shocked to hear this 🙄
Only red states have rights
So if California becomes it's own country being the 4th largest in the world imagine the impact on Trumpmerica! I say... Let's do it. In my opinion, Even talking about it would send great fear into all those states that depend on their handouts from places like California right?
Why aren’t they suing the crap out of everyone. And how stupid might as well posted this in recycle center. Geez we’re screwed if they come for citizens in blue states
States rights is a running 160 year long con.
Tanks in the streets, a first hand example of genocide & starvation, false flag flashpoints. How to eliminate/deport specific demographics in a huge country? Martial law & ensuing fear of being shot protesting is softball. House confinement + gov’t food dependence = controlled house to house raids
I remember in the 80's when Sting sang "I hope the Russians love their children too." I thought Republicans loved Democracy but they are cowards.
This is progress - leadership from the Dems
Dunno, I have had idiots on here telling me all day that both parties are the same even given how obviously different we are. I'm guessing it's a huge Republican operation to gaslight people.
Yep, block them. Get them out of the algorithm feed.
GOP governors? Haha…oh wait…like that cross-eyed wank in Arkansas? She’s too busy buying fucking podiums
Cut to the chase-break this thing up, there isn’t a thing in a Red state I could not live without, especially Florida and Texas
And each governor should activate their national guard to protect its citizens against Hitler 2.0 and his masked thugs and sycophants
MAGAts only want State's Rights if the states are doing what they want. When they insisted states should decide abortion access and some states made access easier, they were very upset because that's not what they intended. They wanted states to only limit abortion not enable access.
They also stand up for states' rights when they support enslaving people.
It’s only about states’ rights when you want to fly racist-ass flags.
Or denying education to kids.
GOP is the party of fear - they use it to control and are therefore controlled by it. It’s all they have. Fear.
Trump in April to NRCC: . “The states are just an agent of the federal government."
Just a side note. The President doesn't need the Governor's permission to do this. The Onus is on the LA Mayor, LA Police Chief, and LA Sheriff to successfully coordinate with a Federal Response they don't want or need. On the ground, it's going to be critical for local organizers to engage 1/
Local, National, and International news organizations to get the narrative and images out that they want people to see. 2/2
Bingo
Or it only matters if it’s the GOP gov’s state that needs help (looking at you Sarah Huckabee).
Every single one needs to get on the air and say something as often as they'll have them. If you're righteously angry , for truths sake, sound like it! Newsom did today. Pritzger and Walz have. Nothing to smile about here.
We've always known they are two-faced hypocrites.
I live in a state with a whack job GOP governor: DeSantis. If he ever had to face real people for what he’s done, he would crumble or run away.
'States Rights' is chiefly about not teaching the scientific theory of evolution in public schools, not paying taxes to a federal government that might provide benefits to someone you hate, and not allowing any women anywhere to have an abortion for any reason.
True. Please run for Gov in Ala. I would love to see a debate with you and Tubby. We Need you !!!
And gee, those states haven’t even said thank you for all the money they get from CA taxes.
Exactly!! If it was a democrat president trying to federalize abortion again, they would then understand.
“President Trump’s move to deploy California’s National Guard is an alarming abuse of power.”
Exactly
When ICE move to red states and cause violence while rounding up people (including legal citizens), then those governors will start screaming. It hasn't happened to their states -- yet. But it will, they are not safe.
