No. This was just LA telling ICE they can fuck off. The narrative here on Lemmy seems to be extra exaggerative.
It’s LA, though, so it could escalate. People are fucking pissed here in California. Trump is taking away our disaster aid, despite us paying more in taxes than we receive by a disgustingly large margin.
Something has to break, and Trump and the GOP is pressuring us as his biggest target. It genuinely feels overall like he’s waging a (mostly) silent war on us. ICE is the part that’s not silent, however, and people are starting to fight them in more places than LA and CA.
Does that really matter? He can just say that the protests are violent, Fox News will report on the violence, and his cultists will believe it. Hell, they already believe that protest itself is a punishable offense, as do most American institutions.
Yes, it does. It will eventually have to be proven in court. That’s why the Alien Enemies Act was considered unjustified use, because the FBI did not support his claim that Venezuela was invading the US by sending violent criminals.
A right wing militia group started the violence in Minneapolis because the protest crowds weren’t doing it themselves. They torched the PD and cop cars. This was proven in court. Didn’t fucking matter, it was radical anarchists, and that is the narrative to this day. If a right wing group doesn’t do it, will just be a government agent provocateur. If this is proven in court, it won’t matter, it will be violent leftist protest, them antifas again.
Did Trump declare martial law or a perpetual state of emergency yet? That’s supposed to be the big narrative signal that he’s suspending elections.
…of course I doubt they’ll be elections regardless, and there’ll be no way yo make sure they’re free and fair.

I’ve been telling people since before the election and especially after when he started creating discourse.
Martial law is one of the last steps of Project 2025 completely destroying America.
The national guard has been deployed. It is happening this week I am guessing, regardless of how peaceful or violent the protests are.
No, but that’s just around the corner. If the protesters can’t get their shit together and remain non-violent, this will be Trump’s Reichstag Fire.
Refusing to walk into a trap isn’t cowardice. It’s strategy.

They think optics is the only thing that matters.

It’s time to start/join a militia. More for getting organized than for fighting.
