The Trump administration mobilized the National Guard in response to yesterday’s protests against ICE raids, despite the fact that the protests ended last night.

CA governor Newsom (who’s definitely not perfect) said doing so would escalate tensions. Trump and his cronies did it anyway because it’s not about maintaining peace, it never was. It’s about attempting to force a wealthy blue state to submit.

If they win, it’s the first and biggest domino in an effort of an openly fascist regime to topple democracy.

I know. It sounds paranoid, it sounds like Chicken Little screaming about the sky falling. But, these are the time tested steps taken by every authoritarian government. It’s happening. Now. To our country.

A new wave of protests are happening now in CA. Members of the National Guard should uphold their oath to the Constitution and not engage or provoke people protesting peacefully. I’m not hopeful, though.

This is it. This is the beginning. Whether it’s the beginning of Trump’s fascist takeover or the beginning of his regime’s fall… I don’t know.
