Weaponizing the federal government to intimidate a political opponent is not something that happens in a democracy.

Tell us again how they’re not Gestapo.. They’re fucking Gestapo. End of story.
Exactly. We are no longer a democracy.
I think now is a good time to confront the fact that there is no line the Republican Political Party won't cross.
#AbolishICEgestapo
More proof that the dictator in chief must be removed from power along with his corrupt regime of the captured DOJ and FB!.
This is the American gestapo they just don't know it yet. #NurembergTrials2NOW
Your democracy is dead. It's been dead for a while now but many people can't comprehend.
Fuck ‘em.
That’s not an intimidation if they’re just standing at the corner looking retarded. Gavin, the next time you hold the press, have a swat team on stand by with bunch of big o trucks mounted with laser guided miniguns in case those retards comes back! They’ll walk away.
What? No Kristi Noem in a flak jacket and aviator glasses holding a bazooka?
America is no longer a democracy 😂 #lolAmericans
Standing around and holding guns is not exactly protecting anyone. they are only there to intimidate what's happening. Anything else that is being said is a joke.
This is an example of the "illegal orders" you don't follow.
Republican Fascism is ugly and stupid, it will fail spectacularly.
I feel like maybe they shouldn't have desensitized us to gun violence, so this stuff might actually scare us. In reality, everyone is kinda like, MEH.
The political opponent was certainly not intimidated. Trump is so weak. Sucking Russian cock while attacking Americans.
The #Dystopian-States-Of-Trumpfuckistan
Escalating like this won’t end well😞
The Trump stooge said he was just patrolling the area where Newsom was holding a presser🤣 "U.S. Border Patrol Sector Chief Gregory Bovino ,center, marches with federal agents outside the Japanese American National Museum where Gov. Newsom was holding a redistricting press conference on Thursday"🙄
The fact that they did this at the Japanese American museum was quite symbolic. I’m sure Stephen Miller knows why they held it there and he bit.
Grabby Road. In the Gerrymander Shuffle, your district could be next. bsky.app/profile/opsa... .. Stand Up!
Of the video clips I've seen, they were standing around doing absolutely nothing. Just blocking the sidewalk and trying to look intimidating. The one Border Protection guy commented on camera they were there (and I paraphrase) "to keep people safe because the elected leaders won't do their jobs". 🤬
Funny, I feel much safer when jack-booted thugs armed to the teeth and just itching for a reason to assault anyone who opposes them are nowhere in sight.
And the crazy thing is, these heavily armed thugs in military apparel, who stand out like a sore thumb because they have no reason to be out in public, can detain someone for "disturbing the peace". Their mere presence in our communities is what disturbs the peace.
The name of every person pretending to be one of these so-called agents should be made public. And they should be shamed for participating in these authoritarian attacks on American civil rights.
The occupying forces failed to breach govenor GCN's security perimeter. Sad.
That shit has to stop.
Where’s the State Troopers? I wanna see CHiPs ride in amongst them on Electraglides and kick some Orc ass! Blue States need a well-regulated militia pronto!
Gavin needs to gear up the CHP. Californians state police.
CBP should be ashamed of themselves. All in all, it just amplified what a weak, small people Trump and his minions are.
Trump needs to painted as the candidate for fragile white men. And yes, I’m assuming he’s running again. But same goes for whoever the GOP candidate is.
Do you not think that Vance wants his job? We should not underestimate his ambition.
Vance is seriously super lucky to be anywhere near the office as it is and he’s only there because Elon forced him in there. He would be happy to wait if need be because he stands no chance in an election and this is his peak right now.
lol. Thank god we are in ‘peak Vance’. At least that’s something good.
It doesn’t matter if he wants it. Vance completely lacks the ‘thing’ that trump has that draws MAGA in. They would never support a Vance run. The only chance Vance has is if trump dies in office, Vance will get whatever time is left.
I don’t argue that. But Vance lives in his own fantasy bubble. One where everyone, even his in-laws, like him. Ego clouds his vision.
Dislike timeline
It’s also a pretty clear sign that the Trump regime is feeling insecure and is covering it up with bravado
When the ICE spokesperson arrived, he told the Press: "This is not political." Which was the first indication that they were there for one reason: political intimidation.
If the ICE "show of presence" is not political, then what the hell is it? These antics just drive me crazy! Trump and his puppets only want a smidgen of a reason to instigate a reaction by us to declare martial law. He's an ASS.
This is a banana republic we live in. Thanks dumb fuck donald
The United States is no longer a democracy. We're now just trying to stay safe and protect our neighbors.
Violence and intimidation is the purpose of what fascist Republicans are doing here. They want confusion and fear to spread. They want a populace too frightened to fight back. This is what fascists always do. 🤬🚩🚩🚩
Wearing pants and carrying a gun is how they try to cosplay as men. The fact that they’re all wearing masks proves that while they may technically be “male” they aren’t men, not by my definition. They’re bullies. And bullies are always, ALWAYS frightened cowards.
always Always ALWAYS, Judy. 👍🏽 🫶🏽 ✌🏽 ✊🏽 👊🏽 🧢
💪 Governor Newsom 💪
😭 what a show
I’m certain Governor Newsome was not intimidated by the presence of an invader force.
ICE is a fascist organization and should disbanded. It’s agents are cruel and inhumane
I have some bad news for you if you think the US has ever been a democracy
I don't think we're in Kansas anymore 😭
Bondi and Noem have no right to send these criminals to the site of a governor's press conference. This is America and those actions are only used in totalitarian regimes for the purpose of keeping the people cowed and under control. Intimidation of the people and the press was the only reason.
We are not a democracy anymore.
They know that if elections are held they will be voted out en mass. This is now an army that violates their oath. I fear violence is coming and this regime will be exposed to the world as a weakling. China, Russia and Iran are just watching and waiting. We are on the precipice of an internal war.
Assholes gotta asshole*. *"asshole" as a verb has been officially greenlighted by "The Elements of Style" and "The Cambridge Guide to English Useage."^ ^not really 🧢
This is Hitler level shit. Adolph Drumpf.
LA - Earthquakes, Fires, Mudslides, the 92 riots, brutal traffic......that posturing was just irritating. we are not intimidated.
What a bunch of spineless sandwich racks they are..
Oh I am sure they had Newsom quaking in his boots🙃 - nah just another day in California for Newt- jokes on them. A bunch of wannabe's running around in circles with nowhere to go.😁
Release the Epstein files
It is straight out of P2025.
Too many think it's all just a distraction from the Epstein Files, which they seem to think will bring Trump down. It won't until his handlers are done with him. In the meantime, Project 2025 marches steadily onward...
Democrats dont have the spine, but in a just world every single one of these brownshirts would be put on trial for their role in this, after ICE was completely abolished
Because it's not a democracy anymore. Catch up.
Intimidation by convicted felon @realdonaldtrump’s schutzstaffel thugs and criminals cosplaying police And ICE.
Let us not forget that they had ORBAN as keynote speaker at the RNC
Good time to join a national protest… FightTheTrumpTakeOver.com
Trump is not in favor of a democracy. Never has been.
We're not a democracy. At least, we're not a democracy any more.
Republicans are pathetic.
Looks like the Governor needs to mobilize the State Police to keep the brown shirts out of his rallies.
I like the whistles!
Did anyone ask any of “them” why they are milling around there…. Specifically…. Why there??? Help them see the idiocy as they struggle for an answer! The “not your business “ is NOT an answer… remind them WE the PEOPLE pay their wages!! Such asshole, POS!
Not much of a Democracy left. People need to fight for it if they want to save it.
Donnie is vewy angwee
But, apparently, it happens in the US. What does that tell us?
Where is the resistance? Governor Newsom should get the Noble Piece Prize 🏆!!!💯
Drumpf’s intimidation machine is failing! Go Gavin Newsom- pull that curtain back to reveal a TACO through & through. He’s a schoolyard bully who deflates as soon as he’s challenged. Ya know like he does for Putin & Netenyahu.
Sick of them wasting so much of our tax dollars. They are just standing there looking stupid while traitors tear apart the country.
The flaw in this argument is the suggestion that the U.S. is a democracy. We’re the most fascist nation on earth.
I hope people slashed their tyres on their way out
Throw some sandwiches at them
THIS Is what Facism looks like
Didn't work, now did it?
Seems like an awful lot of wastefull spending sending out these trucks full of goons to accomplish nothing productive. Tax dollars being wasted while being filmed.
FASCIST gestapo brownshirts
