These people are TOAST! If the Wanted to ACTUALLY Peacefully Protest they SHOULD have just BROKEN the CAPITOL WINDOWS, BEATEN CAPITOL POLICE, POOPED ON THE CAPITOL WALLS and USED WEAPONS!

Maybe even shit on a desk?
Breaking into the capital, causing physical damage, attacking police officers, stealing U.S. government property. That's defending democracy.
Standing outside a federal detention center where people are being illegally held. That rebellion.
Welcome to trump's America, peace I'd was, slavery is freedom.
OoooooooooK. So, who wants to start a betting pool on which day this week we get martial law? Price is Right rules?
Imma say Tuesday.
This is basically a declaration of it.
OK, so I'll put you down for Monday?
I’ll take Wednesday for the over
Do you happen to be open on Sundays?
Like, today?
It's a bold strategy Cotton, let's see if it pays off.
I expect that declaration to be on his birthday parade when he gives his night of the long knives speech.
He 100% wants it before his birthday
To me, this looks like yet another sign that the current regime is striving for tyranny. That, in turn, would probably mean civil war, unless US citizens are willing to accept the end of democracy.
At least, that's how it looks to me, a European. Do you feel the same way?
I mean, it's pretty obvious that the US government doesn't care about the law. And then, to top it all off, there's this ridiculous military parade for Drump's birthday ... only someone with dictator ambitions would do something like that.
Yeah, the LA "riots" where super tame by riot AND LA standards. Like, they didn't even have to bust out the water cannons. A skateboarder tanked some tear gas and flipped them off. It's not like a bunch of people stormed the capitol building or something. This is the flimsiest excuse ever for martial law, so I have to assume it's another step towards tyranny.
Apparently storming the capitol building is cool with this administration though
that's been done before. maybe next time a different nearby building of a similar color could be chosen.
Yes, it's frightening.
I think they're using photos from other protests that make it seem more dramatic too.
To me this has been pretty obvious since they started following the Project 2025 manifesto line by line
Yes, I see it the same way. But it seems that implementation is now imminent, and I fear that resistance will be necessary, because soon it will probably be too late.
I'm from Germany, and the actions of the US government remind me eerily of the rise of the Nazis in my home country back then - almost as if history were repeating itself.
I assure you, we're thinking the same stuff.
Honestly, it could be seen on the distant horizon as far back as the Bush administration
From the ground, it feels like a lot of Americans are willing to trade their democracy for the illusion of peace.
That's how it was in 1933, when the Nazis seized power in Germany.
If you choose to go out to help, sharpie the number of a local legal non profit helpline on your arm and leave your phone at home. Bring a sharpie to write the number on others arms. Mask up. Solidarity and safety, my friends.
Waffen-SS
People peacefully assembling to exercise their Constitutional rights, and the guy who planned, led, and launched an actual Insurrection which obviously attacked hundreds of cops wants to claim THAT'S a rebellion.
Hopefully the protestors can get organized enough to not be crushed. Good luck, stay safe.
The funny consequences about labeling everything as an act of rebellion is that everything suddenly becomes an act of rebellion. The door opens and now we have to deal with rebels everywhere.
ICE cant be everywhere getting everyone because there is a fucking rebellion, so that means there are captured rebels in court, on trail, with jurors ... when the rebels start getting found not guilty by their local courts they are no longer rebels ... what are they? Revolutionists.
Nah, they just label the jurors rebels and send them to CECOT
Well, my reading of 10 U.S. Code § 12406 argues that he's full of shit. This is a law written in case of invasion.
You’re so wrong. Well technically absolutely correct. However since might makes it right… you’re wrong since no one is standing up to stop it.
National protest. Shut down the Interstates. Hit them where it counts. Stocks and cash
Welcome to the rebellion.
And what's a riot? Well you see, if a shopping cart is on fire then that's a riot. If the police show up in riot gear then that's a riot. If people stand up for their rights then that's a riot.
If people are in zoot suits, that’s a riot.
feeling like fascist martial law. who could have seen it coming. i bet brandon would have stopped it. not socialists though, socialism is evil. 🙄
Oh cool, they’re arresting the the GOP, police and ICE?
What? The "land of the free"? Whoever told you that is your enemy.
guess that makes this saturday just that much better of a day since so much will be tied up in the stupid parade.
Kyle Kulinski has been calling this for months now. Well, awaaaaaay we go
They forgot to cancel the second amendement first.
They don't give a fuck about the 3 liberals with 1911s.
