I’m not sure why Gavin Newsome doesn’t activate the rest of his army guard to prevent the president from it or force him to overrule it…. Then fight on the second amendment guaranteeing a state a right to a militia. How can a state have a militia if the president can simply federalize it

Watching the right now oppose the part of the second amendment that guarantees a well regulated militia under state control is… something.

MAGA: “The 2nd Amendment guarantees a militia to fight tyranny!”

Also MAGA: “It’s fine that Trump seized California’s National Guard against the governor’s will.”

You can’t have it both ways. Read why this matters.

IMPORTANT: Stop calling the troops in LA National Guard Troops. They are not. When Trump activated them against the wishes of the Gov they became FEDERAL troops… like the 82nd airborne with no Law enforcement power! Don’t let them confuse you!

The marines are still a volunteer force and 700 chose to be deployed to Los Angeles. Every single one of them made a choice and sided with the Trump regime. That’s the most significant part of their deployment to a US city to counter US citizens.

“marines don’t choose where they get deployed”

Yes they do, they have a choice to go or quit. Upholding their oath can also mean walking away, whatever the consequences.

Do you know what else was illegal and had severe life altering consequences? Hiding jews in your attic. Hiding escaped slaves. Sitting in a white only area. Not turning in your neighbours for being unhappy with the regime. People still did it.

ICYMI: National Guard troops were sent to LA with no federal funding for food, water, fuel, equipment, or a place to stay.

“Wildly unprepared” is the phrase being used. All courtesy of Trump and Hegseth.

The people subject to Trump's deportations are mostly part of this religious demographic, and churches across the country will be the hardest hit.
