Yup.

Ok Fred. We know that and you know what comes next from this administration. I hope you studied asymmetrical warfare at the USMA....the peaceful type.

😡

Martial Law & Curfews coming... news at 11:00 pm.

Actually, they would prefer it was more visibly Black people because of the heightened “apathy” that would elicit from Amerikkka along with a sense of it being thought of as “necessary.” Alas, we are primarily using our dollars to protest. So, they’ll take this because too much time was elapsing.

I agree.

They want to declare the Insurrection Act.

As a native Angeleno I see why he’s doing this but it hurts my heart.

Of course they did. This makes me so sad.

I totally agree with you! Ball along, the brazen actions of the administration and DHS has been seditious.

Yes. They planned to Mobilize our own troops against us. And now it’s beginning

yep

Trump wants martial law. This is how he'll get it.

So only hateful white supremacist groups can protest Unbothered, even protected by the police...

This is the stuff he needs to justify deepening authoritarian control, suspending elections, etc. This is the marketing tool to sell absolute power to his republican sycophants.

Cue Ohio by CSNY.

💔

youtu.be/MN_9VqfVQ9c?...

Tragic waste of life.

Fuck them all!

LA has a history for standing up to bullshit. They picked LA on purpose.

Going to be a major political test for Gov Newsom. Find a palatable deescalation path? Defend the citizens of his state? Assert his state’s right to self governance of its people? (Like CAFE) Form immigration alliances with other states? (Also similar to CAFE) Lots of possible paths available.

1 million people in LA are w/out legal status. Yes…

Yep. Disgusting.

Do you think there's anything sinister behind Miller & Trump's use the military parade on June 14 in D.C.?

Of course it is!! That’s why he got rid of The 4 Star Generals that wouldn’t do Trumps Bidding.

No one should be engaging ice. Protest, yes.

When the police look like that you know you are living in a cruel dictatorship.

TACO Gestapo

Of course. And Cali will be the first state under martial law. If you’re a Cali resident you won’t be allowed to leave your state. Martial law is the spark needed for revolution however. No better place than LA.

This.

AGREE

Bad plan

They pick wrong city. I remember some good riots in LA. I hope police will not start using real ammunition because they will learn very fast how much guns people have thanks to NRA and Supreme Court .Oh, I forgot all gangs 🤣

Absolutely! Don’t let that crowd be majority brown or Black please! White majority protestors & hold your sh^t. Don’t give ICE or Truth Social ammunition to justify any violence.

They're trying to scare us into submission. Good luck with that. They're only making us more courageous.

Their plan sucked then because they are going to lose.

Trump remembers 1992. Trump will most likely soon ban any protests in any state.

I’m sure the regime is watching this unable to contain their joy, just like the felon proudly watched Jan. 6th and did absolutely nothing. This is exactly what they want.

It seems like we're in for a wild ride, folks! 🤯 Asymmetrical warfare, anyone? I hope you're all ready for a battle of wits! What's the plan, Stan?

YES

Yup. 😢

I'm guessing fox and newsmax are airing old footage of violent riots and saying it's what's going on right now in California the plan appears to be to spread martial enforcement across the country using liberal cities as burning tent posts

😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

They love to use weapons against anybody

Yes Fred this was always the plan

They want to be able to enact martial law. Also, one week before his parade? Do you really think that they don't know that No Kings Day is planned specifically for the same day?

This is just the beginning unfortunately.

jmillersexcerpts.blogspot.com/2025/06/the-...

This is what they want. Anything to enact Martial Law. Do not fall into the trap.

F'ing despots!

Exactly.

Vets need to march, and defend the protests.

Ever since he held that Bible upside down, he’s been itching to declare martial law. Nobody crosses the fuhrer. This part of the horror story has just begun.

They target another city soon. Ramping up provocations.

This is my beautiful beloved city! 😢😢😢😢😢

The feds need to get the phk out of LA!! Out of California! Where the hell are you @gavinnewsom !!!!!

Indeed they did!💀🌞🏄⛰️😎⛱️

Fred, I'm hearing from boots on the ground that there are definitely planted agitators in the crowd. Homan is calling for National Guard. Can he do that? I thought only the governor can call them.

My understanding is that the President can federalize the national guard, but only in certain circumstances, which Trump no doubt will argue for. Evidently, the governor has the final say-so.

I’m hoping Newsom calls them up first and shuts this shit down. This is intentional, I whole heartily agree with Fred, they chose LA.

Correct, Homan can *request* Guard assistance on behalf of the Feds, but the governor has sole deployment authority. Considering what an absolute bootlicker Newsom has been, though...

www.tetleystldr.com/tetleystldr-...

What a quandary for him. Ambitious guy like that, trying to figure out what percentages are for him on the decision. I'll help: not only will he never be president if he calls out the Guard today, he won't be able to go to a nice restaurant anywhere in the state. Or out in public.

I'll give Gavin credit for saying no. But Trump has federalized the CA Guard, so 2000 troops are now on the way to celebrate that orange bastard's birthday a week early. Too bad we didn't jail him last year.

Thank you Merrick Fucking Garland

Trump can override that via Title 10 (invoking the Insurrection Act).

As in the summer of 2020, and 1968, any violence can be attributed to planted agitators.

Sure. But it's also been common practice and a Koch brother go-to for years to introduce violence to smear public protests. I saw the same dudes doing violence during BLM at different locations around my city. Same guys on skateboards broke windows on Melrose in WEHO as on Santa Monica Mall, etc.

Also picked because the Santa Monica Fascist knows the turf so well.

Careful with Doug, Heather, he's hopping in on threads trying to either hi-jack them, or just blather. He either thinks engagement will get him something here, or a he's a "bot".

Remember the umbrella guy? www.npr.org/sections/liv...

I already talked about him. There were people like him at every major BLM protest

Agreed.

I was there. I saw them. Santa Monica more so. Local news showed them, blocks behind any peaceful protests, looting, and they were called protestors.

They were behind most of the violence that occurred in 2020, we even caught one of them in Minneapolis. Protesters were just... Protesting.

100%. We all know where this is going.

Yep.

tRump hates California bsky.app/profile/ther...

He’s even got a golf course here in LA county! Makes me wonder who works there…😒

Gotta wonder how many undocumented persons are working at his golf course?

Miller grew up in Santa Monica- doubt he gets invited to school reunions.

Because we're cooler, cuter and can dictate the marketplace.😉

And we pay for your Meemaw's foodstamps. And happy to do it.

Gavin is right - withhold all taxes paid to the feds. THEN see what happens!

C,C,MP 😀 Practically the holy trinity

They wish they could be us!

Yes...a continuous love/hate thing🙄

😉🥰

If California withholds its federal taxes from the federal government that is fucking the state over, the rest of this country will suffer. Do it!

That's not too far from declaring war and seceding

Oh, well.

Yeah lol fair I would just hope CA was prepared for that first

I’ll bet president Taco doesn’t hate California as much as I hate him.

Trump hates the USA, Jesus Christ, logic, and cardio.

Agree. For decades, Trump has hated America. Now at old age this is his big “get even”. He is so racist that he would like the US be a white-only nation, with super rich oligarchs in charge.

So let's get rid of them.

Were just days away from martial law. And we are alone.

Where are the riots? All I’ve seen aren’t protests.

*are

The NG should be arresting these ICE militia gestapo, not citizens.

UNAMERICAN fascists!!! Shooting at PEACEFUL PROTESTS!!! SHAME SHAME SHAME SHAME SHAME SHAME SHAME SHAME SHAME SHAME SHAME SHAME SHAME SHAME SHAME SHAME SHAME SHAME

Where the fuq is the Governor in all of this happening in his state?

ICE instigated the protest, they will create the situation even if you don’t protest. Use the courts & government power as what he’s doing isn’t lawful. bsky.app/profile/iwil...

Sure did! But they tested a couple of other cities first. 🤬

Ok. So, back to Seattle we go (first regime)...

Comrade tRUMPOV not only wants military style parades, he wants a dictatorship over the American people. It’s been the plan for years.

#Trumpstag

bsky.app/profile/dutc...

They need violence so they can use martial law They know LA will explode. It needs to explode everywhere all at once

They hate California. They know our economy depends on migrants hard work which white people won’t stoop to do. We need to stop paying taxes to the Federal government.

I knew this was coming when the white supremacist started marching. Show of force.

TRUMP USES "ICE" LIKE HITLER USED THE "SS" TO ILLEGALLY ARREST & IMPRISON ANYBODY WHO WAS OPPOSED TO HIS DICTATORSHIP!

Absolutely. Punish CA. Invoke insurrection

Porque Californianos will NOT back down, except for the pendejos that voted for a racist, predatorial criminal rapist slug of a human!!!

Fubar

Disgusting show of force against protesters. Of course 47’s ill will toward California explains this despicable action. Too bad 47 can’t fathom even a single beneficial action toward Americans he’s vowed to represent. Always more harm than good. The enemy from within…IMPEACH

Tested out in PDX OR during 2020 BLM protests

Yup.

Orange mother fucker 🤬

This is not going to end well. For them. This is the moment.

Raise a stink about it. 202 224 3121 is the Congressional Switchboard & send the birthday boy a message too. www.whitehouse.gov/contact/

Exactly.

Stephen Miller is from Santa Monica. He's been crying to get "brown people" out of LA since he was 14.

How did he survive high school and college? Christ what an asshole.

Martial law is his game.

The LAPD isn't paid by ICE or DHS. They're there to protect the citizens of LA. Not fire on them for exercising their First Amendment rights. Heads should roll for this!.

These ice fools are 🎆🎇 going to end up starting a fire

Yes. It's been obvious since the beginning. So where is Newsom's forethought? What is the plan to deal with a runaway criminal empire?

They sent their thugs in to instigate this, LA was probably a poor choice on their part.

Only a matter of time before these raids become tragedies. I applaud the courage of the protestors, but the type of men we’ve seen working for ICE will not hesitate to kill Americans.

Here comes the National Guard…Homan & Miller hard on!

And Trump is picking a fight with the whole state

This ain’t Portland folks. LA is a majority minority region who have nothing to lose. Some ICE folks are going to have the Reginald Denny! FAFO

I agree! They want to f*ck with us.

Exactly right.

Yes. But in my opinion, the GOP is providing their own rope.

I don’t think they’re mobilizing all those tanks just for a parade. They have plans this week.

LA was an absolutely wild choice.

Truth

Welcome to the American version of Tiananmen Square.🥹

The perfect optics for right wingers. The issue of tyrannical government overreach they can't admit to.

It's all part of Trump's war on California. Withholding federal funds from CA is only part of the plan.

I'm sure this was set up by trump just like jan 6 he told ice where to make trouble

People keep pointing this out and I agree with this, sure. But are we supposed to take some deeper meaning here? They picked a fight and they got one.

This is their plan to lock everyone down before next weekend.

And New York, right?

Who are these men? They can’t be real policemen? These are hired white power groups….must be. Turning on fellow Americans. How do they live with themselves?

This is why you should never elect a president with a tiny dick. They're always overcompensating in the most extreme ways.

Where the hell are our Congress people and why are they not speaking out?

Agreed. I also don't think the timing of this, the weekend before the military parade in DC and protests scheduled across the US, is by accident.

Oakland next. Then, Portland.

They tried Portland once and got their asses kicked. Night after night people came out in thousands from all over Oregon. First it was the women marching they attacked women, so the men came out, then the moms, dads & vets march. They took turns, those feds were exhausted. Portland won.

Yes, exactly. They are looking for a confrontation and will get one there.

Organize into groups, peaceful marching, people fought back but what got to them in the end was the endless marches, no matter what they threw, abused, attacked those marches went every night - There is not enough man power. Hate & fear only carries you so much. The people stood up.

They can take the voting rights away from hundreds of thousands of people down the line based off of this: anyone who protests. Meaning future elections are fucked. If they can take LA, they can take anywhere.

Casus belli

Welcome to the american police state. RIP, America, “land of the free, home of the brave.”

Keep it up LA

This is going to get bad. The Trump Regime is flaunting their ‘authority’ and perceived power and not ‘reading the room.’ People are collectively pissed - about everything - and it’s only growing stronger. You don’t smoke a cigarette standing in a puddle of gasoline.

thoughts bsky.app/profile/plan...

Yep. This administration is nuts!

Oh yeah. I just hope everyone stays safe. Our country is being torn apart. It's going to keep escalating.

Too many coincidences. Chaos in LA, sending national guard, and tanks, rocket launchers and soldiers to DC? Is he staging a self-coup?

I thought it would be next week. frankbeingfrank.blog/2025/06/07/j...

There will be deaths. Then they go on television and say they'll do it again, and again. These are people who truly think that an uprising won't happen if they 'do it right, this time.' There is no 'right way' to not piss off the very people you're trying to enslave.

If California decides not to pay federal taxes then the whole country suffers. That's roughly 80 billion not going to support red states. This action guarantees no republican gaining office in this state again.

Absolutely. LA doesn't fuck around. They will fight back. Also, "less than lethal" rounds? So, they won't kill you, but... ??

Yep. This is him changing the narrative away from: —big beautiful bill getting negative press —Muskrat outing him to the world as being in the Epstein Files —his feud with Muskrat —huge layoffs happening across the country due to his policies

They are doing all this for immigrants who pay taxes for their butts to be able to have that equipment to be out on our streets. It's embarrassing in front of the world stage.

Phuck those scumbag trunts for terrorizing and hurting humans! They are not serving and protecting, they are kidnapping and trafficking humans.

😒

What happens if not a single protester shows up tomorrow? Can we all laugh at the plan?

They fucked with the wrong city

Trump is hoping it will start a Watts like situation to justify all this!

US. is the expert in coup d'etat around the world. Now they are applying those same (Henry Kissinger) dirty, nasty tricks in @usatoday.com It's crazy... Unreal.

LA will be the first city Trump bombs. #CivilWar

I’m surprised that they didn’t pick Portland.

And whether or not this is tinfoil helmet of me, the picked this weekend on purpose too because of the mass demonstrations planned for June 14.

Tom Homan has a lake house, just saying, Luigi

They want California. Totally predictable.

Maybe that should have been “less lethal”. Less than lethal implies not lethal.

America looks so beautiful

rubber bullets should be shot at the ground, not at peoples faces

Yes. On a summer Saturday afternoon, when half of Americans won’t be glued to their phones or TVs on purpose. How many Californians are trying to unplug in the mountains or by the ocean or even at home right now, strictly reruns of a comfort show, cooking, reading, not aware this is happening yet.

Well LA will fuck them up

And if trump and crew are not reigned in by congress now then this will lead to many deaths of Americans for no fucking reason. The trump cabinet wants blood in the streets. That’s how dictators gain power. They had the plans for martial law drawn up months ago

Well, I think they picked the wrong city if they wanted to look strong & contain the population. That's not going to happen in LA. If they think that showing force will intimidate the Hispanic people? Nope, the Hispanics WALKED hundreds of miles to get here. If it was me, I would fight.

It’s the day before Krystallnacht!

There will be too much death by "augmentees". I'd bet militia contractors are being used. Open violence would please them greatly. I fear this will get bloody fast. It is what the administration desires. They believe it will prove how "tough" they are. For many militia, it is their desire.

Of course they did.

This will be the excuse to invoke the Insurrection Act and declare martial law. Trump created the invocation of martial law.

Rooftops and rifles is how you counter this.

Warming up for next weekend

Dominance. Threats of martial law. No one to celebrate him on his birthday.

God I wish we could get the NWA guys to time travel there in their youthful prime.

Absolutely

DUH NO SHIT STFU

Where are all the 2A people who were warning us about Government Overreach?

✊

Of course.

They did it to disrupt all of the Pride activities & parades around the country.

Yes. Absolutely. DJT has already petitioned last month calling for martial law. All of these arrests have maximized anger due to their deliberately cruel nature. That's been the point. We've been playing into his hands -- but what other course does conscience allow?

Any uniformed military personnel that turns on a peaceful citizenry, may be shot and killed with impunity. The war is on. Take your kumbaya and shove it where the sun doesn’t shine.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=6TD5...

Do not let them hide behind their badges and toys! @fpwellman.bsky.social

The power of just saying NO is very underrated.

And if people were smart, we would COUNTER this with protests at these people's businesses.

Secede. Secede now. Don’t wait until the next election for #calexit to come to a vote. We’re only 5 months into this thing. We shouldn’t have to take 43 more months of what worse is still to come. He wants to treat California like a foreign enemy, let’s become a foreign country. Get him out of here

That might hand the next election to the Republicans. Stick around and fight!

Unacceptable

Stephen Miller is from Santa Monica. He's been crying to get "brown people" out of LA since he was 14.

He will cause chaos so he can declare martial law 🤬

I haven't seen activity in such force or aggression in a red state or city. Just blue, I imagine Minneapolis will see the same soon.

California Über Alles

(sigh) yep.

I don't recognize this country anymore. LA is where I was born and raised. This is so heartbreaking to see this happening.

Beware. Trump is intentionally trying to provoke violence so he can declare Martial Law.

He did it. 😡

Yelling at ICE is not illegal. ICE escalated the whole LA protest. Just so people know when the media starts putting out headlines of “clashes”.

So? Make them declare martial law. Reminder: ICE goons have to go home sometime. Follow them. ID them. Out them.

Exactly. All done remotely. With drones. Ukraine showed us the way.

I smell Ohio Stste

agree.. Trump just called Marshall law...for all the squealing from many US about not disturbing the hornet's nest so looks like shite gonna hit the fan...🫶May the force be with Protesters🫶...👺Trump forgets how many guns all USers own methinks

This is the situation they need to declare martial law and cancel the midterms. The midterms is a death sentence for Trump. I can’t see him allowing the elections to proceed.

Yup.

Elections cant be cancelled by the president but Trump may think that Martial law will make it impossible to have an election

exactly

FAFO!

ABSOLUTELY!

How do these people sleep at night. They want this for our country

How about Nebraska or South Dakota meat packing.of course not

What happened to our right to peaceful protests. I don’t know how we get people to wake up. Other than standing up, speaking out what to do. This is all so very scary. Waiting for it to settle down and go away is not going to happen. It’s out of control and these people are evil to the core.

If it's like the civil rights protests, videos of terrible cruelty inflicted on protestors is what it takes. But the bar might be a lot higher these days. People are inured to cruel videos.

So fucking what? The fascists want a showdown? GIVE IT TO THEM.

Agreed.

This is so sad, against the American people! The stupid leader that acts like a president, is probably sitting in front of a computer or tv, cheering this on? He needs to be removed, I want my country back that I was once proud of! Not this bullshit, because of a spoiled little man.
