Remember- it was not long ago that the government literally firebombed an entire city block in Philly because they wanted a “criminal” inside a house. They just said fuck it and took out a block of houses. Because they “can.”

Yep, and it wasn't even the military, it was just a local police force. I believe they killed 11 people and around 5 children. The 40th anniversary just passed.
If a single police force using weapons from 40 years ago could do something like that without a second thought, I hope people consider what the outcome would realistically be today, when encouraging people in California to strap themselves and head into a suicide mission against police, federal agencies, national guard, military, Palantir, and private military companies like Blackwater under a president who has already told them "he who serves his country, commits no crime."
The problem is, unless things change drastically, that is the trajectory the US is on.
Again where is the actual show of support from the rest of America? This should not be California's fight, it should be all of us fighting as America against authoritarianism.
Where are the people telling their local government they need to following the example Glendale just set for the rest of us.
There have been solidarity protests in several other states.
As a Californian, while I'm sure we have the thoughts and prayers support from others across the country and world, I suspect we're pretty much on our own. It won't be long before other blue states are fighting their own similar fights against hostile takeover, and red states are cheering this shit on because "Commiefornia." And honestly, people are, but city councils are also doing their own balancing acts, if they aren't already MAGA infested. There isn't really a unified response as of yet, but I suspect that'll change as more of CA becomes threatened.
We all have different battles. Ours are currently focussed on our colleges and universities, research and innovation. We recently won one where the court decided that mango Mussolini can’t prevent specific colleges from admitting foreign students out of spite. Of course there’s a major chilling effect but it’s a win.
Also, one of our senators has been extremely vocal and active. Not much Dems can do in Congress but speaking up is a start
And yes, we have many “No Kings”protests lined up that will get huge turnout for our population. Thoughts and prayers are on the way, but also gives encouragement for our representatives, our state, our law enforcement to do what they can.
Right on, keep fighting the good fight.
All over. Peaceful. Won't see them on the news, trump can't point at a guy playing guitar and call him dangerous.

even better, a local police force is, still, inherently “military” in that they are a weaponized arm of a state licensed to kill.
we’re just marketed to think differently.
(i am adding not disagreeing with you!)
I thought he was describing Waco TX ... until I saw Philly. Close enough for another example.

it was not long ago
I mean, it was 40 years ago.
I would more point to the police violence during BLM protests and the terror tactics employed by ICE against Columbia student protesters just in the last six months.
Any efforts to frustrate gestapo operations should be celebrated. Whether in the streets or on the policy front.
Frustrate and impede, just don't help them advance their agenda by giving them the physical escalation they're hoping for.
An "insurrection" under Trump will not be handled the way an actual insurrection was when Trump instigated it under Biden. This has been planned for a long time.
Richard Blumenthal Reveals Trump 'Martial Law' Fear
I hope more Americans at city and state levels will start joining cities like Glendale.
He already sent in the marines, what more do you want? He wont stop untill every democrat is dead..
Why does your account say you are a bot? Are you a bot, or did you accidentally check the box in your account settings to indicate you are?
I only ask because this account doesn’t have bots blocked by default, but all my other ones do, so if you are a real person I’d never see your content on those accounts.
You might want to check that :)
I clicked it by mistake a couple days ago. Someone pointed it out and I unclicked it and saved. Or so I thought. I'll check again.
Edit - 
`
It might have been a lag in the system applying the changes; as of your reply you don’t show as a bot. All good, carry on friend!
Thank you. Have a great one.
City: we have decided not to support these people because they aren't providing safety.
Government: WHOA YOU ANT DO THAT UNLESS YOU WANT YOUR CITIZENS TO SUFFEE
City citizens: no we support this action. We feel safe when ICE is nowhere to be found.
Government: SEE THEY'RE TERRIFIED
Fox News Host: "We found a real live LA resident to tell us how they feel"
Real Live LA Guy: "Yo, hey, hello from Miami, I'm here to say Go Trump! Love MAGA! Based! Chad! Bitcoin $1M, you gotta buy my book The DJ Entrepreneur! Also, yeah, love my Cuban homies. Word up to everyone who came over here in a raft with no money, no documentation, no nothin! America land of the free home of the fat bags of change, amirite! Hey Ainsley, you fine as hell, want to bounce on my thang after this?"
Fox News Host: "As you can see, the residents of LA are terrified and cry out for a stronger police presence."
FUCK OFF ICE FUCK OFF TRUMP
Shit was fine here until you showed up. Simple as.
ICE needs to be blocked from California going forward.
They could have just said that due to extremely decreasing popularity of ICE, the insurance costs have become prohibitive. Thats like 2 zingers in one. They could also toss in something about respecting the wishes of thier constituency for extra flavor.
So they are already branding illegals as criminals without due process.
We should all be following suit.
Fuck ICE and fuck fascism! 🖕🤬🖕
"I wouldn't have punched you if you hadn't responded normally to me punching you"
-fully defended by the dumbest nazi bitches alive
Nobody does this kind of shit unless they're terrified.
Meanwhile, eggs are ~~still $8~~ no longer available for purchase and gas is still upwards of $4.
No, they explicitly stopped siding with criminals by doing that.
