“There have always been a few clear break points, rubicon thresholds in the Trump autocracy storyline where the entire legitimacy of the state and the freedom of American citizens could go sideways very, very fast. This has always been one of the most obvious ones. There’s no need here for the Guard. The irritant is the wildly inflammatory raids by militarized ICE squads. But even assuming those continue the Guard still isn’t necessary. The President has triggered this crisis and is now using it to exercise military authority within a state against the wishes of the state’s civilian elected leaders – Mayor, Governor, congressional representatives, etc. This is 100% Trump. He’s created the situation and now he’s exploiting it.”
You will hear shitler’s thugs saying this protest is a riot. That is a massive fucking lie.
I lived here in 1992. I was in East LA when the first buildings were set on fire. I saw it all firsthand. THAT was a riot.
This is American citizens exercising their rights to protest. This is Americans rightly standing up to masked thugs who are attempting to kidnap their neighbors.
Don’t believe the maga lies. There is no riot. There is no insurrection (they’re thinking of January 6).
it’s so scary talking to fallout fans irl bc i’ve been playing in the “the East Coast Brotherhood are technofuedalist warmongers who are objectively bad for most of the people they subject” space for so long that i forget that the general consensus on the BoS for normal people falls between “flawed but well-meaning” and “haha cool armor” and everyone’s looking at me like
