Bingo. They plus the billionaires Musk, Zuckerberg, Bezos, Pichai all want fascism too. Vote the billionaire Bastards Out! Then Tax them like FDR, Truman and IKE did after WWII. The Reagan "voodoo economy" is dead along with our government in a bathtub.

There you go Larry ! On the nose my friend! This is a crux event! We can stop it here with the right action and reaction! It was initiated to create chaos and diversion of much more dangerous plans in the pipeline. It’s a given California wouldn’t allow this that’s why they are here! We are the diversion and Trump gets to fuck with Newsom, that’s a win win! And next week it army’s and tanks driving down the streets in celebration of our Kings birthday while our homeless citizens and vets live on the streets! Marching bands hit the streets!

If these national guards do deploy, they need to be told there’s no honor in what they are doing. They are to protect the constitution at all costs…

But will they? I’m sure they’ll be afraid of the consequences to them. That’s how dictatorships work- make the entire population fearful of the leadership like in Russia or Hungary.

Sadly, the National Guard is being manipulated for one man to put on a show leading to his becoming a dictator and an autocrat. No democracy here.

🚫 Stay off the streets—fight smart through civic channels.

They are baiting violence to justify martial law. Don’t give them the excuse.

Take these actions instead:

📞 Call your Senators and Representatives every day: Capitol Switchboard – (202) 224-3121

🗣️ Show up at town halls and make your voice heard.

✌️ Protest peacefully. Do NOT march and do NOT engage physically—they want a fight.

🗳️ Vote—and vote every Republican out for the next 20 years.

Sorry. No thanks. We The People plan to March June 14th, 2025 or We all become Neville Chamberlain.

We have written and called our Senators and Congressional Representative several times each month for the last five months. We will be protesting peacefully on June 14th. No Kings. No Corrupt Dictators. We invited our Senators and Congressional Rep to attend our protest in our State Capitol. We are sending a message to Republican Senators and Congressional Representatives: Grow a spine and speak up against Trump or be defeated in 2026. Count On It. Go to: Indivisible.org for a location near you.

It could be the "destruction" is from Boogaloo boys or Proud Boys... just sayin' because it happened during the BLM Protests.

The former Air Force staff sergeant and boogaloo boy, Steven Carrillo, pleaded guilty in the May 2020 murder of Federal Security Guard, David Patrick Underwood.

We have the right to protest peacefully and march peacefully. Staying off the streets plays into their hands by giving the impression we are acquiescing. For everyone able to protest No Kings Day on Saturday, June 14, be sure to wear masks - just to disobey the buffoon's "order." Who the hell does he think he is anyway? I'll wear whatever I damn well please.

Don’t wait change the actions do something legal

If every civil

Rights attorney only do for what’s in the money for thier pockets find others that will stand up for the life liberty and justice for all!

Or get into the law library’s study American law and our constitution and bill of rights. Then go after it legally!

That’s the only way to fight corruption and protect the lands constitution! That’s called winning a great chess game!

Dana is a Republican hack. Dana: quit calling social safety nets entitlements. The reason we have social safety nets is because our entire system of taxation and paid labor allows rich assholes to pocket money that should be going into the pockets of workers. We all know that allowing insurance to be the basis for medical services drives cost into healthcare. The wealthy are UNDER TAXED.‼️‼️‼️

Dana: you’re a hack and a Republican propagandist.

Bernie is correct. These milk toast republicans in the senate and congress need to be gone. He did not give them their positions; their constituents did. If they can't work to protect their constituents from this man who would be king, they don't deserve the positions they were entrusted with by their constituents. Obviously, most of them did not serve their country via the military. If they did, they would realize what the military does to protect this country, democracy and the constitution. They need to stand up against this authoritarian and show him he IS NOT the boss, just like the brave civilians are doing against ICE and other illegal actions. Republicans in office GROW SOME!!

I made a comment yesterday about getting rid of the old deadwood in Congress. I do not include Bernie in that group. Bernie has always been shouting about the right things. He is a voice from the 1960s. I swear he has some Canadian in him :) Maybe it is the maple syrup. I was worried there would be no one in the House or Senate who would pick up his banner when he goes. Then came along AOC and her loud voice. I would like to point out that South Korea is in the process of prosecuting their recent defunct President for the exact same thing. Illegal use of martial law. I wish General Russel Honore was still on the job. He barked orders at his troops when they were carrying their weapons like they were in combat mode when they were securing New Orleans after Katrina. The General told those young troops to lower their weapons and carry them in a less threatening posture. He reminded his troops they were dealing with American citizens - not a hostile enemy. Every citizen is an enemy to Dickler and his regime.

Thankfully, Bernie is in a position to speak out loudly against any one of them. For once older age is a plus. He has nothing to lose at this point. And thankfully speaking out at this time in history is more than

welcomed and needed! He is right it is on republican shoulders at this point in time to speak out if they want our country to stay a democracy.

I am rightfully furious at his supporters. I’m ANGRY. Because they are culpable for this. THEY voted for this. They GAVE Orange Stalin this power and 9 years ago it was because they “Despised Hillary” but Never gave a valid reason why and last fall it was because of “Genocide”. I am SICK of hearing about Bernie and Tired of his Fanatics’ deist worship of him and self serving “Everyone else who isn’t Left enough for us is Evil” attitude.

I’m not rude, I’m FURIOUS. Because they have shown that they don’t care about Democracy either.

I will always support Bernie Sanders! He is what I agree with 💯.

I voted for Bernie in the primary. I will always vote for who I believe can further my belief in Equality for all, Humanity for all, Justice for all. Bernie was that man, and then I supported the party choice.

We Democrats need to realize

We must be of the people, for the people, and then we will have a chance at making life equal and fair for all.

Water under the bridge. I supported Hillary in 2016 because she is intelligent, she left the GOP in the racist Nixon campaign of 1968 and because she pointed out that Nixon was "not above the law" during the impeachment hearings in 1974.

I am a lifelong Democrat because the Democratic Party has delivered the most progressive legislation since the early 1900's. From Wilson's "Eight Hour Workday with Overtime," FDR's "New Deal" that save us all, Truman's "Fair Deal," Kennedy's "Time for Greatness," Johnson's "Great Society with Civil Rights," Carter's simple honesty and optimism with "Why Not The Best," Clinton's "For America, For the People into the 21st Century," Obama's "Yes We Can," and Biden's "Restore The Soul of America."

Bernie had his chance to form a new Independent Party or re-build his former Socialists parties decades ago. I did not support his letter claiming Women wanted to be raped. I did not support him sending nuclear waste to Texas over objections of the local people in Texas because they could not vote in Vermont. I did not support his protecting gun manufacturers over the grieving families of the Columbine Massacre in Colorado. I also did not support is response to the violence and shouts of "hang Democrats" at the DNC Nevada convention of 2016.

Today, we are all talking about America becoming a Fascist State. If you want to blame any one person blame John Roberts and his NON Stare Decisis court that is the worst court since 1856 that gave us Dred Scott versus Sandford.

Remember who is the Real Enemy.
