A very hard message to accept. But it is where we are, here in America. And it applies even to those who do not believe it.

48 hours ago I was on a call with another political writer and we were discussing how Trump likely feels it is too early to declare martial law because the goal of doing so is to cancel the midterms. We discussed how Trump needs a big event elsewhere to eject from his LA intervention.
Iran, I said.

The real enemy of this administration is cosmopolitanism. Whether in Los Angeles or South Africa, multiracial pluralistic democracy is a threat to them because it means their “us or them” model of the world is wrong. So they stir up trouble on purpose and gleefully lie.

Game this out, and then figure out how to protect you and your family this summer: Trump just misused a federal provision not used in 60 years—and then only used to *protect demonstrators*—that requires imminent risk of Rebellion.
If he'd do this for some minor, peaceful LA protests, what's coming?

Beware Trump’s Talk of Coming “Emergencies”
Far-right rhetoric is suffused with dark talk of impending calamities. It’s a favorite trope of autocrats who are, themselves, the calamity.
