For the record, our division commander BANNED things called β€œpresence patrols” in Iraq.

β€œIf you don’t have a specific task & purpose, your β€˜presence’ doesn’t do anything.”

National Guard stating they are now doing presence patrols in DC.

A complete waste of soldier’s time & effort.

Fellow DC residents, I encourage you all to tell any ICE or DHS employee you encounter that if they want to actually clean up DC and do some good for DC residents, the sanitation department is hiring. Humiliate them, demoralize them, and chant at them that they should quit their jobs.

The President of the United States has unleashed the United States Military against U.S. citizens.

There is no "good" way to spin this. Sorry.

How to Make Good Trouble When we’re loudβ€”and organizedβ€”we’re powerful.

"This is fascism. It just is. In a way, staying with the news every day can numb you to this truth and make you think that things aren’t as bad as they seem. Only after a break does the full-force of reality hit you."

If anything, these folks need to be galvanized into action. They believe they’re alone but really their fascist neighbors are just louder

Get in front of a crowd in DC and show them real leadership, Kinzinger. You did great work after Jan 6 and can continue to make a difference beyond Substack

Not to be a dick but that’s what at least 30% of fascism is - theater

Which is good news for us because it’s if no one likes the show then the movement deflates

The highest crime rate in DC was on January 6th, 2021. Fact.

What a banal way of describing the march toward fascism.

Reporter: The president threatened to use not just the National Guard but the military.

Bowser: I think I speak for all Americans, we don't believe it is legal to use the American military against American citizens on American soil.

But I was told by everyone on the right that the only person who could deploy the National Guard (or prevent the deployment of the National Guard) was Nancy Pelosi.

Some troll on IG called me a β€œtypical yt girl liberal” posting about fascism because β€œif it was really fascism [I] wouldn’t be comfortable calling Trump a pedo”

Let me tell you something

That pedophile will do what he’s gonna do, and I’m gonna do what I’m gonna do

Thank you for this, Monica. I’ve been on the hunt for more historical examples of resistance.

Trump Deploys National Guard to D.C. While Threatening A Federal Takeover Read more here.

NEW: Trump announces the deployment of hundreds of National Guard troops to D.C., which he claims is overwhelmed by crime and homelessness β€” a claim disputed by police data. This marks the second deployment of the National Guard during his second term.
