There is no need for Trump to deploy the U.S. military against Americans.

California is standing up to an unconstitutional power grab — and we’re backing it with facts:
⬇️ Violent crime in major CA cities down 12.5% in 2025
⬇️ San Francisco homicides: down 45% since 2019

Compañeros,
We have tolerated violent, racist attacks far too long. 
A national general strike is crucial to confront state violence and paralyze the city, the Bay, and the country.

Welp. It’s no longer a figurative statement. He is literally tearing down the WH.

Adding this to the already long list of sickening things he’s done.

OMG! In Comey's motion to dismiss for vindictive prosecution, he points to others who have lied to Congress that were NOT prosecuted. Number one is JEFF SESSIONS when he said "I have been called a surrogate at a time or two, but I did not have contact with the Russians." 1/
