Consider the ripple effect: a civil rights violation against one marginalized group today can easily expand to impact others tomorrow. We must stand as one against all infringements, for the sake of our shared future.

Piss Jeper

Nah. This was happening before that fight. It’s escalating because they want to craft an excuse to take over blue states through martial law. They may be a bunch of clowns, but they’re still dangerous.

He is not just using this tactic to scare or distract us. He is and has always been actively attacking us. To date, our downfall has been secured by our unwillingness to acknowledge that our enemies are our enemies.

And the Big Bad Bill.

Agreed!

You are past stupid and into genuinely bad person territory if you think what's happening with ICE is a "distraction."

It's really fucking insulting to call the detention of hundreds of people by ICE in my city a distraction. You can't think about two things at once?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reichst... I suspect something more sinister myself…

A DISTRACTION FROM WHAT

Trump is inciting insurrection along w Miller.

He's probably desperate, but this was always part of the plan. It's right in project 2025. Find an excuse to send troops in, create conflict, and then declare Martial law. It's in the dictator's handbook. This one was not hard to predict.

Isaiah is always out there telling the facts. Wish I saw some of this today from people who are already elected.

No. This is why:

And that there is talk of a recount in NYS...

That about sums it up

In his desperation, Trump jumps from the frying pan into the fire. I really don't think Mad King Donnie has thought this through. I believe wormtongued Steven Miller is pushing this!

It’s not a distraction you fucking moron it’s what he campaigned on

It’s both things: an unchecked power move to normalize police state tactics…and a convenient distraction because he got outed as a pedo and blew up his key alliance with Musk. So really a win-win from their perspective. We don’t need to all-or-nothing the distinction.

youtu.be/KAZaKeEpYJE?...

Worst possible take

How proud of all of this do these people have to get for you dumb dumbs to realize they aren't trying to distract you from ANY of it.

me [getting teargassed, beaten with clubs, shot with rubber bullets] this is all just a distraction

FIFA.com CANCEL THE 2026 WORLD CUP IN THE UNITED STATES NOW!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 #2FU2BALL

👆🏾👆🏾👆🏾👆🏾

Everything is always a distraction from something instead of just exactly what Trump always said he was going to do. What's up with that?

And no one ever says what it is a distraction from. Only that it is “a distraction,“ as if there’s some stupid bullshit he’s doing in secret that is somehow different or worse than the stupid bullshit he’s doing out in the wide open.

This way he can deploy the National Guard troops and maybe even the Marines to quell any protests on his birthday self-love fest.

This is more than a distraction. A distraction is investigating Bidens health. This is part of their agenda for total control.

Always smoke and mirrors.

Thanks for highlighting today's stupidest post!

While the tanks are rolling into DC! I think there is much more to this "birthday parade".

Actually, He's invading Los Angeles because he needs a pretense to declare martial law (basically a Reichstag fire) and there's a high chance when you put the U.S. military against a motivated group of protestors you're going to see violence. The other stuff was the distraction. This was the plan.

Call me crazy, but I kind of feel like the potential use of military force against US citizens might need to be the A story. Even now, Trump is promising to attack First Amendment rights.

No, this one of his final steps before he declares the Insurrection Act and his authoritarian regime is complete. He wanted to do this in term 1 and was stopped. He also mentioned it a couple of times in his campaign rallies before this term.

It’s not a distraction for those of us who live in LA

45 has always been a pedophile!

Please, for all that is holy, stop using the “distraction” framing. It makes it sound like the things they’re doing are trivial and should be ignored. They are not. They’re terrible actions and need to be addressed. Just because they distract, that doesn’t mean they’re not serious.

This. If he starts killing civilians in the streets because he's been caught on camera at Epstein's island that will be a distraction, but, it doesn't mean we should ignore it.

🎯

its called martial law this is what was wanted since day 1

Let's get back to business and deny him the ridiculous pivot: SHOW US THE EPSTEIN FILES. WE NEED TO KNOW WHO DONALD TRUMP IS IN RELATIONSHIP TO THE EPSTEIN CRIMES.

Yeah this thing everyone predicted would happen wouldn't be happening otherwise.

CA has been on his "Hit List" for a long while. It was never a matter of "if he would start shit here" it was only a matter of "when"... Now we have the answer. The Regime wants Ultimate Power. They know poking CA with their tactics will bring out the people who will Stand against these tactics.

It’s all a distraction from the “big beautiful bill” … watch them bring it to fruition in the middle of the night while we’re all sleeping! Don’t get distracted!

Also it is written in black and white in project 2025. Those who voted for this 🐂 💩 shouldn’t be shocked.

This isn't the distraction...this is the endgame. He wants to be dictator. Endgame begins here, and may end next weekend with his ridiculous "Parade".

Let's be real. Trump was at the UFC fight, being adopted by his base. This is all on Miller.

#Trump #Pedophile #ElectionFraud #Cheater #ConvictedFelon #Conman #Impeach #Convict #Remove

Let us not forget about the “Disgusting Abomination” bill that is being considered in the Senate. While he threatens the military against citizens, this bill will be a death blow against our republic. Hey Non voters: You happy?

icymi

Make no mistake - we remain under attack. And Trump and Musk remain aligned with foreign adversaries to undermine our Republic and remove working class health, wealth, safety, and political influence. Anyone denying is lying.

Too bad Armed Services top brass didn't believe in honoring the Constitution they swore an oath to. The fact they take orders from Hegseth and they are helping trump become the dictator he wants to be, proves it. Right Wing has infiltrated the Armed Services completely. No pride or backbone left.

And he's evil and likes cruelty. He's a fucking lunatic narcissistic sociopath just like Nero and he has lit the fire already. George Washington didn't protest peacefully. He picked up a rifle and fought against an oppressive regime government!

Gaslighting is Trumps greatest attribute besides grifting and corruption.

Maybe. I thought it was to distract from the Bill that renders the Judiciary useless.

"SQUIRREL!"

. Trump the 'Bully': How Childhood & Military School Shaped Him "He learned the power of bullying and being cruel to get ahead. A method he'd carry into the future." www.youtube.com/watch?v=nc5-...

And we’re paying for it with our TAXES.

imogen: they're invading LA because they want to kidnap your neighbours and deport them, not because of any of the theatre in washington. this is the real world not the West Wing

Pour old Trump. In his parallel universe, he thinks that his actions WON'T come back to haunt him.

Everything he does is a distraction from his last distraction. He’s ruling (I use that term deliberately) by chaos. It’s either part of a nefarious plan, or he’s lost what’s left of his mind. Or both.

Yup that sums it up pretty good!

And to pass that abomination of a budget bill.

This is honestly very silly. This is not "a distraction." This is the entire point of his Presidency.

Withdraw protests until legal ruling is made! Federal Judge makes major ruling on trump's troops in LA. Thursday 12th June. [Scroll past advert 4:23-5:48] www.youtube.com/watch?v=zC1x...

entirely incorrect

It's not a distraction, it's authoritarianism. It's American Empire. It's disgusting. Shut it down.

Shades of Nixon and Kent State .... youtu.be/XYOz12OG8mI?...

Well said!!

The rest of the world warned you about Trump. He’s a spoilt, entitled, racist, bigoted, sexist, xenophobic, corrupt moron but America voted for him anyway. All we can do is shrug and carry on without you. Can’t forgive, forget, or trust America again. You get the leaders you deserve.

Also, good timing for the disgusting parade

A lot of the same shit happened last time he was President and Stephen Miller has a lifelong xenophobic obsession. This is not a distraction from a one-time event.

I remember Jade Helm 2015 when the conservative fuckwits claimed Obama was invading Texas during a military training exercise. Conservatives shot at members of the military and claimed it was patriotic.

Exactly! Threaten Americans to shut them up about the destruction to the U.S. #economy Trump is causing & the crimes Trump & Elon are committing. Then nobody has to talk about cuts to #Medicaid & #Medicare & #SocialSecurity. Keep Americans afraid & distracted. Rinse & repeat.

He's distracting you from the fact that Washington is quickly filling with military hardware in preparation for the coup next weekend. Ignore this fact at your peril.

A coup next weekend? Do… do you think he’s going to coup himself?

What are you talking about? He will be the Emperor by next Sunday.

That wouldn’t be a coup then. That would be a crowning. He’s in charge of the military as it is. There’s nothing to coup anymore.

Whatever. You have it your way. You are buggered whatever he does.

Buddy, you’re an old ass Brit living in Thailand. You should really not be talking about buggering at all.

You think it's funny? Wait until you are in the line to be deported.

You going to come over here and continue colonizing while exploiting the local population like you are in Thailand?

A distraction that puts the people in grave danger. At this point, even the distractions require our attention. This particular distraction could unleash the Insurrection Act and Martial Law, so we can't ignore it. We do need to get better at not neglecting the other important issues though.

This is the moment we realize that with the anonymous tac-team raids, they've been dipping their toes into crossing the line between the military and law enforcement to see if we respond. Todays commandeering of the NG is the same—if the American people do not respond, they will escalate

There is little doubt that Trump is a pedo

It’s a paper tiger move. All show no substance

Imagine thinking fascism is a distraction from something everyone already knew Pathetic

A distraction from what? He is destroying the country via these “distraction”. How many “distractions” does there need to be before democratic leaders and the people in general stand up. What are you waiting for?

A lot of people punching down on here today. It IS a distraction, but that doesn't in any way diminish the acts of authoritarianism from the would-be dictator. It's a strategy to implement martial law. But people need to stop attacking obvious allies simply because they express their own opinion.

Convenient for TACO, for sure. But, this is all Homan and Miller. It is the weekend -- TACO's golf time. This is all about the baby bros.

Homan and Miller have bosses. We just don't know who they are. Maybe we will never know, except that they have lots of money.

Trump has very little to do with anything that goes on in this administration

This is straight out of P2025, fully premeditated. LA has historically rioted and is extremely diverse. For those reasons and the fact that it's CA & Trump hates Newsom, LA is an international target. NG is there now. Martial law looms ever possible. Wake up.

🎯

Mayor Bass says NG not deployed?

www.pbs.org/newshour/nat...

😡 Thank you for the update.

I agree. This is much more than just a distraction from the fight!

Fully premeditated.

Bloodcurdling!

No. Its what it looks like on the tin. He's doing it because people actually pushed back against their shitty mass deportation.

And because Stephen Miller is VERY racist!

Invading Los Angeles with storm troopers in military vehicles is a distraction to you gormless weirdos. You’re all hopeless.

Naw, this was the plan all along. Why do you think there are train loads of tanks and APCs headed to DC right now? And it's not for a parade.

What? Are you arguing that we should be ignoring domestic military action because the REAL issue is name-calling????????? This is fucking weird.

Your absolutely correct 😊

Indeed!

nope that's not why... this gives him the 1st step in declaring Marshall law. Don't get his agenda twisted because he def has one.

Desperate ppl do desperate things. It's getting scarier & scarier.

The economy has been destroyed for years because capitalism has a natural tendency for profit rates to fall. Trump wants to restore profit rates at our expense. He needs to break our resistance to do that. The LA invasion is not a distraction, it's the whole point.

The truth hurts and he is a petty piece of dog shit.

But he IS a pedophile, ask ivanka

All this and a bag of chips!

yep, don’t forget release the Epstein files!

no one should listen to you. you are clearly too incompetent to understand the thing you're one upping is stupid

Delete this

this is not correct

I don’t think that’s true

Pedo… Taco… Weird…

That sounds like the NATO phonetic alphabet

When you get to R, you're stuck between 'Rapist' or 'Racist'.

Ha!

[trump starts nuclear war] "our charred bodies are a distraction from elon saying trump smells weird"

I disagree. I believe this is part of the plan for Trump to rule as a complete dictator. They are looking for an excuse to deploy the military and declare martial law.

Ma’am you should be fired

It is not distraction. It is part of the plan.

Alternatively, he wants to establish full dictatorial control, and crushing a major city in a blue state helps him achieve that goal. Regardless, the correct response is to reinforce the people of LA against their PD, the LASD, ICE, DHS, and the National Guard. Do not look away.

True...

He set the whole thing up by sending in ICE Gestapo and FBI to cause protest. Now he can sent the army in claiming “insurrection.”

Exactamundo!

He will not be satisfied until we are fighting each other on the streets. Or rather, killing each other.

It is not happening. He may wish for it, but it is just not happening. There are the 1%, then the rest of us. The "middle" class is squeezed out with taxes, unemployment, expensive healthcare, housing, and education. It knows the rich will not help, just like they don't help the working poor.

Fact

No, dipshit, this is the natural continuation of the slow fascist creep this country has been on since-- ...well, forever, really.

It’s not actually

He sure needs a distraction. He has no care on what happens either.

That guy is making fun of those who were saying that the fight between Trump and Musk was a distraction from something else. That's more obvious than recent Onion articles.

You know. We can hold 2 truths at the same time. Trump is a fascist pig that holds nothing but himself as sacred. He will use all the tools. He hates people with melanin AND he wants to be king AND he's a pedo. Anyone checking the DNA on Ivanka kids?

Jess, this isn't a fucking distraction. They told us during the campaign they were going to do all of this. This is the whole point. The Musk stuff is just noise.

bsky.app/profile/redl...

sending people to camps is the goal not a fucking distraction

You have your distractions backwards. bsky.app/profile/judd...

This is the dumbest shit I’ve ever read. What’s happening in LA isn’t a distraction or even orchestrated. It’s pure fascist tyranny.

Well it’s orchestrated, but not as some fucking ruse. It’s real. It’s happening. And you’re denying all the people who are fighting for their rights

It’s not a very good distraction…he just keeps digging his hole deeper…is anyone actually going to stop him?!

Absolutely!!

Then went to UFC event

Absolutely correct

🎯

Bullshit. He did the same to BLM 5 yrs ago, remember? Why is it so hard to say that this white man is just a racist thug in every direction? Why the obsessive quest to find intelligence in everything he does?

This is bullshit. Did Trump attack BLM in exactly the same racist, thuggish way as a distraction? Violent racism is the main event in US history, not any distraction. It is the supreme goal of your family, friends & neighbors who refer to genocide, slavery & apartheid as #MAGA

Agree. This isn’t distraction. This is code to his followers that the economy may be tanking and they are losing jobs but white supremacy is still the goal so don’t worry. As long as black and brown ppl are suffering, maga will tolerate and cheer on anything while getting unemployment checks.

Wag the dog

No, We are seeing his long-term plan to seize police powers and suspend voting in blue states.

This is absurd. He’s literally been sending his secret police force after people for months, this time a lot of people responded. Don’t be obtuse.

Probably, Elon has done bad things to kids, too. Bad people tend to tell on each other.

Jess this is stupid and wrong. Don't fall for dumb shit like this.

And to pass the $4 trillion in oligarchy tax cuts

Exactly.

youtu.be/omfz62qu_Bc?...

Nope, this was their plan all along. They’re laughing at our “we’ll get them midterms” because they know Martial Law will be in effect and no elections will be held. We are a day late and dollar short. Evil never plays fair.

Pray that isn't so! Remember the guns are everywhere! It could become rather unpleasant.

Believe me I know. My heart is breaking at the ruination of our great country.

A radically counterproductive mindset

Where’s leadership? Where’s our plan? I’m not being radical but I’m not seeing much positivity going forward. We are one step away from dictatorship and I’m weary of hearing “just wait till midterms”. There’s a good chance fair elections are a thing of the past.

I too believe “just wait until the midterms” is ludicrous. But Trump does not have the means to just cancel elections. If we’re going to win we need to understand the country we’re fighting for and preemptive despair is dangerous

Read up on martial law. He can stop future elections. I’m so saddened what is happening in the country that my father and so many others sacrificed so much for. I’m just disheartened that all our social media shows is optimism without a plan. We need more.

I have a PhD in political science so I’m pretty confident of my grasp of the essentials here. If you’re disheartened get off this site and go do something tangible in the real world.

Insulting people because of what they see ahead sounds like you might be on the wrong side. We are the “more love” folks. Truly, no need to respond. We would never be friends.

Wow heartbreaking

I mean, they were pretty up front about not wanting to ever have elections again, but the response to that is to treat it like an illegitimate government, whatever that means to you.

I’m a full on resister but there’s no concentrated effort, and more importantly, a plan being put forth. The civil rights movement was successful because MLK led instead of doing press and filing useless bills. Where is our Project Now? Where is leadership?

Leadership is dispersed, so that no one person can be killed to disrupt things. Furthermore, no leaders are putting themselves in the public eye for exactly the same reason. The US government never stopped killing protest leaders. Just ask the folks from Ferguson.

We can agree to disagree on that one.

You're allowed to be wrong, sure. Why do you think a guerilla movement should need an easily discernable method or publicly known leader?

I agree. Listen to the Meidastouch podcast about LA!

🎯🎯🎯

I came here to say just that. Obviously a lot of people don't understand what is happening. More people should read Project 2025. It's all in there.

If you really believe that, i hope you're taking the steps that logically follow

Everything they do is a distraction.

What we need is for people to support the protests. There's nobody else to stop his invasion.

no this was the logical play for the week of the martial parade a bicoastal fascist display of force

I swear to gawd, I think the #cops *formed a #ProtectiveRing around #Dale’sDonuts*?!? If this was a film, it would be considered too #OnTheNose

I swear to gawd, I think the #cops *formed a #ProtectiveRing around #Dale’sDonuts*?!? Given #ilFmDouchey’s #fascist #military #parade is this week, you think this isn’t coordinated?

No. It’s an end goal. Not a distraction.

He wants to destroy the blue states . If Newsom isn’t standing by his citizens he is complicit .

GTFOH with that shit! This was always the plan.

*white woman seeing brown people rounded up by the gestapo* this is all a distraction from elon’s tweets

Raiding an elementary school graduation, throwing tear gas into cars stuck at a traffic light, running down protestors, sending masked militarized cops, threatening to jail the CA Gov is not distraction from fascism is is fascism

Orange Piggy throws temper tantrum and decides to wreck everything.

Or his masterplan is working! The Russian Muskrat traitor is playing both sides to increase aggression while gaining relief for Tesla’s Fireball death traps; to save his company after making Chicken Tiny $2.9 billion. Unless the Muskrat produces Epstein’s criminal evidence, he’s bluffing! Playing US

Wrong, wrong, wrong. He's invading Los Angeles because the people of Los Angeles are standing up to ICE and chasing them out of their communities to defend their neighbors, and Trump is afraid of what that represents. Don't deny these people credit for their heroism.

Literally rounding people up and vanishing them to unknown locations but OK!

Also, he's big mad that a couple of Republicans don't want to vote for his Butt Ugly Bill.

lol no

Fuck you

or Or OR *all of that* is a distraction from the fact that we are on the doorstep of actual fascism. Sorry, this is more important than their twitter spat

It’s time we root for the Aliens

Like usual. But the media loves all of this.

The real goal is No King Day next weekend - competing with military parade for dear leader. I believe that is why the escalation in violent pushback against initially a few hundred protesters in LA. They will go to EVERY EXTREME to stop the opposing narratives next weekend!! It won't work

He is so desperate that he even brought Garcia back just like that from El Salvador...

And California’s Governor stood up to the orange stain.

I think he's just doing whatever he wants and you keep saying this shit. "keep the eye on the ball" - babe, he invaded a city with the army.

nobody is gonna forget he skullfucked the economy, we have to pay for groceries, we know it. okay. try to keep more than one thought in your head at a time.

And Stephen Miller’s wife left the White House to work for Elon, so he feels the need to blister

He and the klan are establishing the militant response before Juneteenth and his birthday parade.. This is still prologue. It’s coming.

Don’t worry. Democrats can multitask…

Incorrect.

You must be so smart to have figured out that the violent suppression of people in the streets and the steps towards martial law are a distraction from some mean tweets online. You're fucking disgusting, how low can you get to even consider posting something like this?

He wants more than that! Much more! Turning the military against your own citizens under false pretenses is fascism! He wants dictatorship.

ICE, the Gestapo, will turn on Trump’s opponents too soon!

His HATE For Gavin.

He is a pedo, just like all the rest of his partner Epstein's buddies.

🎯🎯🎯

Yeah no. Only someone divorced from reality can believe this.
