LOS ANGELES, CA — As you all know, Trump has declared war on Los Angeles. He’s evoked a federal act to nationalize the National Guard, although he’s doing it illegally (only to be used for foreign attack or an actual insurrection and with support of the governor and other local officials, which it’s not). Secretary of Defense Hegseth says he’s preparing the Marines at Camp Pendleton.
The rest of the country needs to respond. The National Guard are roaming the streets. There were skirmishes last night with militarized vehicles, tear gas, cars and buildings burning. Compton and downtown hit hard.
We are in the battle that the Trump Administration has started and escalated. We are resisting as peacefully and as broadly as we can. Unarmed people under attack.
