I hope people read the articles that I’m including in this post and try to understand the danger that this man and those in his circle present to our well-being.
This dangerous theology should not be entertained IMO, it is based in racism and should not be given a platform.

TERRIFYING: NBC News: Iran sent a message to Trump before last night’s strikes, threatening to activate sleeper-cell terror in the U.S. if attacked. The warning was delivered via an intermediary at last week’s G7 summit in Canada.

97% of extremist-related murders in the U.S. in 2024 were linked to right-wing extremists. It’s not a political movement anymore - it’s a hobby for failed men with too much testosterone and not enough brain cells.

Curfew was set for 8pm.
LAPD started corralling protestors more than an hour before, not letting them leave, so that they could be arrested for violating curfew.
Oh, and all nearby Metro stops were closed, so even if they tried, they COULDN'T leave.

LAPD Accused of 'Trapping' Protesters Before Curfew 'On Purpose' to Arrest Them for 'Breaking Curfew'

Another straightforward violation of the Posse Comitatus Act. In a democratic society which valued accountability and the rule of law, this would produce impeachment of the executive branch officials and discharge of the military chain of command.
When I tell you Los Angeles is an occupied city/county, this is what I mean…
Yesterday, ICE agents showed up to a regular Saturday swap meet with armed Marines and a military helicopter overhead, like it’s a fucking war zone.

A square mile doesn’t justify a $134 million military occupation, troops sleeping in squalor, or ICE agents terrorizing our communities. Americans feel unsafe. This Saturday, on #NoKingsDay, let’s show up in numbers—and send a message: we will not be ruled by a mad king.

As Trump mobilizes the marines to quell an “insurrection” in LA, it’s essential to be clear about how the protests started and what actually happened.
