Tin soldiers and Nixon coming, four dead in Ohio.
This is what 2A is for. This is what Madison feared.
They want another Kent State
Is it gonna be Kent State or Tiananmen Square?
First one, then the other
More like Concord or Lexington

Just saw an ICE truck carrying a bunch of jackboots through Echo Park. Don’t know where they’re ultimately heading to though.

How do you know it’s an ICE truck? What does it look like? I’ve seen white ones in videos, but surely they don’t all look the same.
It was a big black unmarked truck full of black armor wearing soldier types hanging off the sides. I’m no expert on cop sightings but I’m pretty sure even they have their emblem on the sides of their heavy duty vehicles. Besides, isn’t it their MO nowadays to go everywhere wearing balaclavas without visible insignias or name tags?
You could tell because it had fanciful decorations of ice cream cones and candy on the sides and it had a big horn loudspeaker playing “Turkey in the Straw”. You see them all the time just driving slowly up and down the neighborhood streets.
Nothing a couple of well placed cocktails couldn’t handle.
“Quick! The Gestapo is running into resistance, send in the SS!”
Threaten the 4th largest economy in the world with leverage you don’t really have. Encourage escalation tactics for illegal detainment of peoples under the jurisdiction and protection of the Constitution. Ignore the Constitution and normalize the absurd use of the term deportation. Cry about it on social media and then throw a fit and send troops to peaceful protests ( as per LAPD ).
Frail ideology.
Fucking newspapers these days, this shit is important.
OK, so the same shit about “trump is going to”. last I heard newsom was in charge of CA NG. Trump isn’t allowed to bring them up without a declaration of emergency or whatever.
Just bullshit that they will walk back in the morning.
e: LA times and AP seem to think this is actually happening. This is the boiling point; are you going to sit in the pot or jump out?
My only complaint (and I get to blame Regan) is that we can’t open carry here in Cali. That would help stop a lot of federal response if we had that capacity again.
I’m not for destroying government property since that’s property that belongs to the people, but I also respect that change doesn’t happen with complacency. Plus if it was a peaceful protest for Jan 6ers then why is this not considered one?
Every day I wish we didn’t have the current admin in charge since they lack capacity and bandwidth to take care of the real economic issues facing our generation and time.
Completely agree though that the national guard is in control of the governor. Although I wouldn’t be surprised if Newsom agrees to bring them in if the feds kick in FEMA funding like they’re supposed to.
Ya’ll shouldn’t need to open carry because you idiots in the US could have just voted for not insane leaders for decades. Always a bad solution to a problem ya’ll could have easily avoided.
California did not vote for Donny Dumbass. Retaliation on blue states is part of the Trump agenda.
(Though he’s pissed off a couple red states too)
Oh it’s so simple! Why didn’t we just do that? Couldn’t possibly have anything to do with decades of undermining education and spewing propaganda through fox news
Damn republicans! How could they! Bring in the democrats!
JuSt VoOoTe!! VOooTe HaRdER! I’m VOOTING!!
Voting in a imperialist empire is like fucking with a limp dick. Some just can’t see far enough ahead so they shame those who wake up and smell the coffee. Your voting record is one more data point in your non existent privacy rights. America is not a democracy but a fascist neolibturd dookie arse hell hole. Always has been… Orange man bad is getting old. Libturds are in such denile. I am 40 beegillion years old. During the beginning of iraq afgan era I paid close attention. I am never surprised. All is going to plan. It is a hierarchical class structure of dildos using dildos as the slaves watch the puppet show. Some are literate but lack class consciousness and critical thinking. This is just the beginning. Democrats are all fascist. You are in denile.
You’re discounting decades of propaganda and social engineering. But go off I guess.
So many other places have figured how to at lesst not be as bad as the US, and they’ve also figured out how to stand up for themselves without firearms. US citizens are largely stupid cowards who will allow themselves to be sold for scrap so they can pretend that things are ok. There’s stupid and then there’s the US, the country with all the resources but not the two braincells to do anything with them. Ya’ll were fucked long before the propaganda and social engineering really took hold, and when it did those techniques came in playing on easy mode. The rest of the world looks at you amazed at how bad you are at everything and how you can’t even be bothered to at least be good people while sucking so bad.
We have had to watch the US put up clear, articulate, and even energizing politicians only for them to never make it into power way too many times. We’ve had to watch even mediocre people lose to people so insane and that even Fox News can’t hide it. It’s wild how fucked that country is, and now some douche canoe is bitching that they aren’t allowed to open carry because of course that’s your fucking solution.
Garbage country. Country of garbage.
The UK seems to keep letting Boris do shit in government.
AfD in Germany doubled their power in the last election.
Duterte hit the scene in the Philippines before trump in the US.
Italy just elected a far-right PM.
The biggest mistake you can make regarding the conservative dipshit death cult in the US, is assuming that your fellow dumbass citizens aren’t vulnerable to the exact same rhetoric.
Oh, the whole place is falling apart and US setting trends is a big part of that problem. Us in Canada should have done way better than we did last election, but even we managed to not do our usual flip-flop and barely scraped by not electing a massive piece of garbage who would have rolled over for Trump at every turn.
Didn’t I also say “long before” in there? That Duterte comment lookin’ kinda like you either weren’t reading like you think Trump is where it started falling apart. Or you think 2010 is ancient and irrelevant history, maybe.
Ah, so you know first-hand what I’m talking about. All this shit going on in the US, and your populace just barely didn’t shoehorn themselves into a far right shithole.
The biggest mistake you can make, is thinking that it can only happen in the US.
More people voted for not Trump than for Trump.
He won with the popular vote the second time so congrats on just being objectively, verifiably, flat-out wrong, I guess. Plus it should not have even been close, even the first time when he didn’t win the popular vote. He has always given STRONG “weird fringe party guy” energy yet that dumbass country gleefully elected him or didn’t even show up because they didn’t find he was dangerous enough to do anything about. The opposition was a conservative who’s biggest selling point, after she tanked her own campaign by ignoring her base, was that she wasn’t Trump. Absolutely absurd.
And I’m only slightly less pissed about my fellow Canadians only barely electing a centrist over a Trump dick-sucker. Again, a party that doesn’t even have real policies should not get any votes and yet is for some reason the main contender.
Total votes for DJT: 77,302,580
Total votes for all the other people (Harris, Stein, Kennedy, Oliver and other) combined: 77,935,722
So yes, DJT won the popular vote, but the majority, even if just a teeny tiny one, did not vote for him. DJT just got 49.8% of the total votes.

I see what you’re getting at, my point otherwise still stands. Fucking embarrassing.
I only saw a few clips of the protest. Did the protestors cause destruction of property? It looked like they took a bunch of stuff from home Depot to make a barricade.
I didn’t see much property damaged by protesters aside from ICE/DHS vehicles, but I did see numerous fires started by the munitions the nazis were using.
Trump pulled off a lot of things he has no right to. Like deporting innocent people without due process to a death camp.
Im not sure but I believe after 911, national guard units were deployed to Iraq (which had nothing to do with 911) by order of the president. I believe that if the president declares an emergency then they can use the national guards however they want.
It would make sense if Congress were required in this decision making process but that would be out of character for a fascist criminal ring
Holy fuck. Some finally have the balls to stand up and fight and a bunch of you are all…this is wrong. Escalation and violence is not ok…or…but they have so many big guns.
Your country is run by a fucking dictator. Your own people are being forcefully removed from their homes and families and put in concentration camps.
Unbelievable.
I have leveled some pretty strong words at Americans in the past- but it wasn’t until this year that they really revealed themselves as a nation of utter cowards.
“Insurrectionists carrying foreign flags are attacking immigration enforcement officers, while one half of America’s political leadership has decided that border enforcement is evil,” Vice President JD Vance said in a post on X Saturday night.
Big yikes. “Insurrectionists”? Bloody hell.
Every accusation is an admission.
Conservatism was the original reactionary movement, and it essentially sought to restore the nobility within democracy, complete with the different rules applying to said ingroup. Modern conservatism only differing in the sense that its supporters really want to become part of said ingroup.
conservatism/liberterinism,dont realize the ingroups, are the oligarchs only.
How is a peaceful protest in LA an “Insurrection,” while violently attacking cops and raiding the Capitol to stop the certification of the vote, is not?
you know why
Yep, I do. It’s because they are Traitors and Criminals.

Someone get my NWA CD and boombox, we hitten the streets.

When I was seven, I learned a lesson from Cube and Eazy-E What was it again? Oh yeah, fuck the police
I was actually a teenager but the sentiment…
Could i interest you in a very loud WOOP WOOP. That’s the sound of the police. Or possibly a WOOP WOOP. That’s the sound of the beast.
Buy guns, learn how to use them
On it. Now I just need friends. If you see a guy in green, that might be me.
I figure we need a suitable color to separate ourselves from the politics of yore.
Drones, everyone should be looking at fiber optic drones. If for no other reason than you can put one in the sky with a thermal camera above your home.
Hell it doesn’t even need to have a fiber optic cable, having that information is very valuable.
I would like to see California boldly and forcefully repel this invasion, but I don’t know how it would work.
The California National Guard is part of the National Guard of the United States, a dual federal-state military reserve force.
When National Guard troops are called to federal service, the president serves as Commander-In-Chief. The federal mission assigned to the National Guard is: “To provide properly trained and equipped units for prompt mobilization for war, national emergency or as otherwise needed.”
The governor of California may call individuals or units of the California National Guard into state service during emergencies or special situations. The state mission of the National Guard is: “To provide trained and disciplined forces for domestic emergencies or as otherwise provided by state law.”
Role: Organized militia
Size: 24,000https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_National_Guard
EDIT:
When I look at this as Trump and his gang deliberately inciting conflict with state/local governments in order to have an excuse to seize control from them before the next election, the situation becomes even trickier.
If the governor activates them first, it limits the reasons the president can activate them and override the governor.
Of course Trump would try to do it anyway, meaning the NG commander would have to decide who to follow (and let’s be real, it would probably be the president).
States giving up their military power was a mistake. States need to rebuild and restore their State Guards/State Defense Forces. The ability to federalize the National Guard removes its ability to function as the State Militias that it replaced.
No, the mistake was the complete corruption of US politics through naked graft and a FPTP voting system leading to extremist views being the only rallying opposition to reasonable stances.
The government needs to get purged of lobbyists and money.
Why not both ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
No, being able to federalize them was intended. We weren’t supposed to have a standing federal army, only call them up from the militias as needed.
Turned out pretty quick that that didn’t work too well in reality.
It worked fine until we got a bit of that sweet sweet imperialism.
State militias were never intended to fight the national government. In fact, they were intended to help fight insurrection.
Article 1, Section 8, Clause 15. The Congress shall have Power * * * To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions.
Activate the to defend the border. West coast Pacific Ocean border.
Drones being annoying low diving like flys?
elon could do the funniest thing here and declare open rebellion against tyranny
The funniest thing he could do is drive a cybertruck off a cliff.
*Let the FSD cybertruck drive him off a cliff while demonstrating how good it is at not doing that.
I was gonna go with “accidentally share evidence that DJT manipulated the 2024 election results with his help”.
Honestly, the situation is so dire, that I’d ONLY have him locked up for life if he did that, and force him to eat garbage food that tastes awful.

Anyone remember what this was from?
“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed”
That works until people the conservatives don’t like start arming up. Like Black Panthers.
Well then everyone the conservatives don’t like need to start arming up before they realize the gun control they always wanted exists, but only to keep “mental ill” people from buying them and the only things considered illnesses are things conservatives don’t like.
Breaking through the mental wall for anti-2A liberals unfortunately only happens once it’s too late to get effective training, if it happens at all…
A gun/gear group I know of recently tried to donate money to a charity for queer folks in the the south. The charity denied the donation because “they don’t take money from anyone who uses firearms for work” (paraphrased).
Let’s take a moment to digest that.
I recently got a small group of gay/trans/ally/hiking friends to a range and I think it’s going to be a more regular thing. I have a couple and another person had several, and the range does rentals. One of us (who’d never even fired a gun) has a small piece of property and they ended up trying/purchasing a little 10/22 to take out to their property to start trying to get some small game. I’m deep in the a red state though so convincing more on-the-fence/marginalized people to protect themselves isn’t hard given the right conversation.
I tell people as often as I can, especially my trans and bipoc friends; now is the time. Get a couple guns (a long one and a short one) and learn how to use them. Learn some basic first aid, you really just need to know how to stabilize someone. Start networking with like-minded people in your communities. The police will not protect us, they’ve proven they’ll happily club senior citizens to the ground and shoot any protesters in the face with rubber bullets while escorting a rightwing murderer to safety. Iran was a secular, liberal state until almost 1980 when they (mostly legitimately) elected an Islamist theocracy; it could happen here.
The shadowy cabals the rightwing says are behind everything is classic projection again, they’re controlled by shadowy cabals of rich people. One of the primary ghouls/traitors responsible for the attempted overthrow of our government on J6 was Roger Stone, the same traitorous ratfucker who began his career working for Nixon and has a fucking Nixon tattoo on his back. It’s really impossible to overstate how bad these people are and they’re winning.
The coup was successful, they’re in power and if they don’t want to give it up they won’t.
Get to know people in your community. Take an interest in growing food, learn how to fix things. Establish secondary lines of communication and start preparing.

Well, we always knew #RATM were right, but no one expected yet another playbook decades after this album was released in 1999. It all feels that unreal… 😔
“I liked them before they got all political” – Some Republican dumbass.
I can only assume they thought Bulls on Parade was about a family holiday to the beach.
The video for “Freedom” was the first time many in Gen X learned about AIM and Leonard Peltier.
RATM is half the reason for my political awareness and absolutely why I know about AIM (and that Val Kilmer movie but RATM is why I actually looked into it).
There was that Val Kilmer movie
Are the Europeans proud of our protests yet?
Not yet. Protest harder.
(Secretly proud of you.)
Well, Americans always defend their guns because they could use them to rise up against their government. So honestly, although normally considered impressive, you Americans raised our expectations even higher.
We have guns, but the government has even more.
There’s not so much gained from escalation. Cameras are still the best weapon, considering how many allegedly sentient organisms still have support for Trump’s actions. Media has claimed that “they’re only arresting violent illegals”, and “they’re only using soldiers to stop violent riots”. Regretfully, millions of people still believe that. The more evidence we can generate that both are untrue, the more that we can turn the tide.

Asmongold is the most stunning, he just gurgles up all the content, and regurgitates back to his audience with the most bland, predictable responses imaginable. He is completely fucking blind.
Sadly, the people that oppose totalitarianism are mostly the ones that opposed owning guns and lived according to their beliefs.
It is coming.
Not even Hong Kong protests level yet.
