If troops show up in our cities, we stop. No work. No deliveries. No shopping. No compliance. A general strike isn’t radical—it’s survival. This isn’t what freedom looks like. You want martial law? Then you’ll get a country on pause. We refuse to be ruled by force. #GeneralStrike

For those who live elsewhere, this is the heart of downtown #LosAngeles. My friends are here. My union is here (sup @wgawest.bsky.social). My teenager is here. People are passing out pastries & singing & praying. All we want is for our neighbors not to be kidnapped off the streets.

1,700 National Guard who didn’t go to LA are watching how the 300 who did are being treated by Trump. No food, no water, no beds, just like the detained immigrants.
The soldiers were given no funding nor was any prep put into their arrival. It is not California’s job. It’s who deployed them’s job.

The federal government is taking over the California National Guard and deploying 2,000 soldiers in Los Angeles — not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle.
Don't give them one.
Never use violence. Speak out peacefully.

Trump is trying to manufacture a crisis in LA County — deploying troops not for order, but to create chaos.
Don’t take the bait. Never use violence or harm law enforcement.

Please read the thread. This is unconscionable.
We’ve talked about this before, but we wanted to expand on it a little more. Late last week, Elon Musk’s so-called “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE) effectively took control of the Department of the Interior without a single Senate confirmation, public hearing, or vote.

Pete Hegseth is clearly ill-equipped to handle the role of Secretary of Defense. His repeated failure to follow basic operational security procedures jeopardizes the safety and security of our armed forces. He should resign.

@governor.ca.gov you are wrong on this. Protecting our rights isn’t a distraction, it IS the main event. I’m disappointed in you.
Q: "How do you respond to Governor Newsom?"
Sen. Van Hollen: "I think Americans are tired of elected officials or politicians who are all finger to the wind...Anybody who can't stand up for the Constitution and the right of due process doesn't deserve to lead."

Dear senators who think you can’t do anything,
Today, Senator Van Hollen - through diplomatic pressure - got a meeting with Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. So that thing you’re thinking about doing? DO IT.

A lot of people seem to think following the U.S. Constitution is optional—like picking which shoes to wear in the morning. It’s not. If you’re within the boundaries of the United States, the Constitution applies to you.

West Coast numbers are coming in, and estimates have now surpassed 5 million. People are still pouring into the streets—nearly 2% of the American population is rising up. America, we are so proud of you. You did it.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.
No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.
