Troops on the Streets: This is NOT Normal!
“We told them there was absolutely no need to have troops on the ground here in Los Angeles.” — Mayor Karen Bass
🔥 Perspective:
This is a fascist power grab. It is the posturing of an angry tyrant who knows nothing about reality other than his gilded life at Mar-a-Lago. In a city that was peaceful, with just 100 demonstrators, the federal government sent in troops anyway. Why? Because the MAGA regime wants to send a message: dissent will be punished.
This is about control, not order. Trump and his billionaire bankrollers are enacting a hostile takeover of the U.S. government. And they know if they can turn the public against immigrants—if they can manufacture fear—they can justify force against anyone who doesn’t look, live, or love like them.
They have unleashed the military within our borders, trying to normalize the presence of armed federal forces in peaceful communities, and crush protests. This is not about public safety. This is about silencing the American people.
This is not normal.
This is not American.
Unless we name it and fight against it, this will become the new baseline of American repression.
📚 Proof:
The MAGA regime of the bullies for the billionaires wants to unleash the military and law enforcement on American families and turn our government into a weapon against our people — not just in Los Angeles, but anywhere they don’t like people using their constitutionally-given freedoms. We must join together to demand our leaders stop this assault on our freedoms, our families, and our futures.

The MAGA regime hopes we’ll get used to this—that we’ll turn on each other while they consolidate power. But we won’t play along. We fight disinformation with truth. We fight fear with solidarity. And we expose every lie they tell about “security” for what it really is: an excuse to silence us.
Let the algorithm know: we’re not backing down.
We’re fighting not just for the right to protest—but for the right to exist in a free country.

It is horrible that our president would send our military into an American city to take away their rights to protest. Trump is acting like Hitler. He needs to be stopped.
