As someone who lives in Los Angeles, don’t let social or mainstream media gaslight you into thinking there’s a violent uprising taking place here. The Trump administration is trying to punish this state and this city. He’s also setting a precedent to unleash troops on Democratic cities.

Senator Ted Cruz posted a dramatic video of LAPD cars on fire with the caption “this… is… not… peaceful.” What he didn’t mention? The footage was from 2020, not 2025. His post on X falsely implied it was current, part of a broader effort to spread lies and manufacture a crisis.

We @protectdemocracy.org have been saying for years “in the modern era, authoritarianism doesn’t come with tanks in the streets. It’s harder to see coming than that.”

Well, we were wrong. Trump’s tanks are here.

We are frogs in the water, and it’s already boiling.
In preparation for next week’s parade/demonstration, tanks are being moved into Washington, DC today. Unprecedented.

We need to trust our eyes.

Nazi salutes, racist purges, an ambush on the Ukrainian president by a far-right regime. If what we see aligns with what we know and is also in line with an established track record, our default assumption should be that what is happening is actually what it looks like.
