#Trump is going to use the death of the two national guardsman as reasoning for escalating military tactics—
Right wing pundits will disseminate talking points so MAGA knows to feign outrage
Meanwhile the terrorization of minorities by the thousands will continue as they erode our civil rights

The ban on Palestine Action is inherently Islamophobic
Palestine Action supports Palestine which is mostly Muslim. Many people active in it are Muslim. This is not terrorism but it is Islamophobia

The death of two national guardsmen is a horrific tragedy.
It is also an orchestrated tragedy by a president hellbent on creating a tinder box environment across the country.

The two West Virginia National Guard members are dead because of Donald Trump. He used them as props in hopes of causing wholly unnecessary trouble that he could use as a pretext for an authoritarian clampdown on civilians.
Being a sociopath with no introspection, he won't care.
