In a major ruling late Thursday night, a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit unanimously held that President Donald Trump acted within his authority in federalizing and deploying California National Guard troops to Los Angeles, overriding the objections of Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom.
As of this writing, some 4,700 US military personnel—including 4,000 members of the California National Guard—have been federalized by the Trump administration in response to protests against ongoing immigration raids across Southern California. Hundreds of troops are now deployed throughout Los Angeles, as masked and unaccountable immigration Gestapo agents continue to brutally assault, detain and disappear residents, workers and even US citizens on a daily basis.
I wouldn’t sign my name to such blatantly wrong tripe either. I’m ready to Civil War. Who’s with me?
Let’s try a general strike first, since if the military doesn’t fracture and join us, you’re looking at open slaughter (or at best, The Troubles)
Look how powerful civil disobedience and an extended general strike was against the regime in Chile back in 2019.
If the more liberal parts of the movement didn’t go for the reform bait, they would’ve won.
Mm hmm, mm hmm, I hear you, I hear you. What about my boundless untethered rage though?
Consider directing that rage into the methods seen in the Chile documentary in my first response (I edited it in, so you may not have seen it).
I think it’s good to be prepared for a civil war scenario, but we should be doing everything we can to avoid one.
Don’t be a hostage of the gun… But have one and know how to use it well.
