Trump bombs Iran – to distract you from the US Marines in your backyard.

Just to be crystal clear: bombing Iran is completely illegal.

Tariffs.
Stock market down.
Medicaid slashed
Secret police throwing anyone who looks Latino in unmarked vans.
National guard and marines deployed in LA.
No end to the wars in Gaza or Ukraine
Bombing Iran

This is the worst first six months of any presidential term in my lifetime.

This chart is absolutely essential.

It explains why Trump removed America from the Iran Nuclear Deal in 2018.

Because it was *working*.

Trump needed a cause for war, so he manufactured it. This has all been in the works for some time now. He was never "weighing options."

No!!!!!
NEW: The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has granted an administrative stay of Judge Breyer’s order — a move that puts the order on pause, allowing continued deployment of the national guard.

Two Trump judges and one Biden judge on the panel.

Marching with Congressional Hispanic
Caucus to the senate to demand GOP Leader Thune take immediate action to investigate and hold DHS accountable for the assault and detainment of Senator Alex Padilla. This is America. This is our democracy. We will not stand for it.

a national guard member described the assignment as “shitty”..compared with wildfire relief or, during the Covid pandemic, vax outreach.
“Both of those experiences were uncomplicatedly positive, a contribution back to the community. This is quite the opposite.”
Troops and marines deeply troubled by LA deployment: ‘Morale is not great’
Several service members told advocacy groups they felt like pawns in a political game and assignment was not necessary

The brutal handcuffing of Senator Padilla is an affront to democracy. I’m joining House Democrats to march to Senator Thune’s office and to demand that he protect his Colleagues from this out-of-control authoritarian onslaught.

IMPORTANT: Before the fascist attack on Senator Alex Padilla, Kristi Noem said that her gestapo in California were staying to "liberate the city socialist and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country."

Don't let that slide by.

I JUST sounded the alarm in the Oversight committee on the fact that this administration has threatened to arrest elected officials and they have. A judge, a mayor, a Representative, and now a US Senator in his OWN STATE during an open press conference. Governors will be next.

Just so we're all clear: It's not a coincidence that the first senator they've used physical force against is Sen. Alex Padilla, a Latino man representing California.

I wonder how Representative Noem or Governor Noem would respond if she had been treated this way while trying to get information on behalf of her constituents.
A DHS spokesperson defended the detainment, accusing Sen. Padilla of failing to properly identify himself during Sec. Kristi Noem's press conference.

But multiple videos show Padilla clearly identifying himself as a senator.
Sen. Padilla pushed to ground, handcuffed for demanding DHS not lie
Forcibly removing a sitting US senator, as they opposed the president's immigration policy, is a part of a broader slide.

Gavin Newsom is dyslexic and legit ✨hates✨ reading from teleprompters; so he memorizes ALL his speeches and delivers them off-the-top.

Those gazillion facts and figures he’s always rattling off when he’s interviewed or addresses the public—all from memory. Pretty impressive.

If Trump is willing to illegally roll the military into multiple Democratic states to quell a civil unrest that isn't happening, what do you think he's going to do during an election?

This was the plan. California was always the target.
The federal government is moving to take over the California National Guard and deploy 2,000 soldiers.

That move is purposefully inflammatory and will only escalate tensions.

If Jesus were here right now, speaking the words attributed to him in the Gospels, performing the acts of kindness described there—Trump and his followers would never give him a moment's peace.

They'd hate him.
They'd cancel him.
They'd crucify him.
