‘Fallujah on the Pacific’: Trump’s Plan for Los Angeles

These people need immediate death, but the fucking Republicans love the gulag and the democrats can’t do no hurting just yammering.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is personally assembling a team to achieve a “superintelligence,” machines that are capable of surpassing human capabilities, according to a Bloomberg report.

Zuckerberg is reportedly so frustrated with Meta’s efforts in the artificial intelligence space that he has taken it upon himself to meet with experts in the field at his homes in Lake Tahoe and Palo Alto, California. Meta and Zuckerberg did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Tell your fucking cops to stand down. And the cunts in Rapist in Chief’s Minyan need to be impeached.

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said Monday that around 700 Marines “are being deployed to Los Angeles to restore order.”

Trump has not taken the more drastic step of invoking the Insurrection Act, the name given to a series of legal provisions that allows the president, in certain circumstances, to enlist the military to conduct civilian law enforcement activities.

But Elizabeth Goiten, an expert on national security at the Brennan Center for Justice, noted that the memorandum Trump issued Saturday authorizing military involvement in support of immigration enforcement makes no reference to Los Angeles, meaning it applies nationwide.

“That’s just a red alert,” she said. “If we have the military being pre-emptively deployed throughout the country to effectively police protests, that is the hallmark of authoritarian rule.”

Although the military’s role may initially be limited to a protective function, Goiten said that could easily be expanded in certain situations to include use of force and detention of protesters even without invoking the Insurrection Act. She pointed to the response of federal agencies under Trump during protests in Portland and Washington, D.C., in 2020.

It has always been a dirty country, so do not count on Bernie Jew Sanders and the other Jew Supporters in the so-called liberal liberal caucus.

This is what we have in store with the racists and white psychotics in charge:

Throughout June and July, the number of veterans and their families and supporters assembling in the nation’s capital swelled to over 40,000. The veterans conducted peaceful protests and demonstrations to highlight their cause. The group took as its name the Bonus Expeditionary Force (BEF), a reference to the American Expeditionary Force, the US military contingent that went to Europe during World War I. Washington’s police superintendent, Pelham Glassford, managed to maintain order. A major camp was set up in the city’s Anacostia neighborhood, but some veterans took up residence in unoccupied buildings close to the Capitol. Under Glassford’s supervision, the protesters received some assistance from private citizens and government agencies. However, Hoover and others feared that the veterans were being controlled by Communist elements and were wary that violence would eventually erupt. After Congress adjourned on July 17, the president’s administration and District of Columbia commissioners became more aggressive in their efforts to evict the BEF from Washington. Notices of eviction were issued to clear buildings downtown.

On July 28, while attempting to carry out evictions, Washington police clashed with veterans. Bricks and stones were thrown by protesters, and two veterans were shot and killed by police officers. In response, Hoover authorized the Army to move into downtown Washington to quell the protesters. Army chief of staff MacArthur personally led a contingent of six hundred infantry, mounted cavalry, and tanks into the city, where they evicted around ten thousand bonus marchers from Capitol Hill and its immediate environs. Ignoring the president’s directive to return the protesters to their camps and hold them there for identification, MacArthur instead ordered troops to drive the veterans and their families from the camps, over the Anacostia River, and out of the capital.

Although no shots were fired and no direct casualties occurred, the soldiers used tear gas on the protesters, and their show of force, with loaded rifles, bayonets, swords, cavalry, and tanks rolling down streets, provoked fear among BEF members. Tents and equipment at the Anacostia camp were burned. When Hoover ordered the eviction stopped, MacArthur again ignored him. By the next morning, the bonus marchers had begun traveling away from the city. Some stopped for a time in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, mistakenly thinking they would be welcome there. Eventually, the veterans and their families returned home.

World War I veterans from across the country have gathered in Washington on a two-month long march on the Capitol demanding passage of a bill that would provide early payment on bonuses. MacArthur’s troops eventually cleared the veterans and burned their shacks

Dumb as coyote shit, Goy-ionist MAGA, in my town. A 41-year-old man is accused of pushing an elderly man to the ground during a political protest on Saturday, according to the Newport Police Department.

At about 2:11 p.m., officers responded to an assault in front of Newport City Hall where a protest was taking place. The suspects had fled before officers arrived to the scene.

Police Lights

During the investigation, officers learned the suspects parked near the protest and began arguing with protesters. A woman got out of the car and walked over to protesters and continued to argue with them. Police say witnesses reported a man then got out of the driver’s seat, ran over to the protesters, and used his chest to push a 75-year-old man to the ground.

The victim fell backwards and hit his head against the concrete sidewalk, causing a laceration to the back of his head. He was taken to the hospital for treatment.

Oppression Breeds Resistance, Organization Sustains It

Defeating the War on Black/African People Requires Solidarity with Immigrants and Resistance Against Our Common Enemy

As community defenders, organizers, and residents resisted Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Los Angeles this past weekend, the state has responded by calling in the FBI and Border Patrol SWAT units, utilizing Blackhawk helicopters to deliver munitions and military-grade equipment, and mobilizing the National Guard and Marines to quell the justified uprising. As our comrades in SoCal BAP have clearly stated, this is domestic warfare.

The connection could not be clearer between the specific kidnappings orchestrated by ICE and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in Los Angeles on one hand, and the broad militarization of our cities and neighborhoods on the other. Those resisting on the ground in LA have drawn clear parallels with the struggle of the Palestinian Resistance in Gaza, the uprisings of 2020-21, the broader Black Liberation Movement, and the anti-colonial resistance against U.S. imperialism throughout the Americas. Meanwhile, some observers have encouraged Black/African people to ‘sit this one out’ because it supposedly does not involve “us”.

The Black Alliance for Peace (BAP) unequivocally rejects this narrative that the oppression of immigrants and migrant communities, and the fascist operations of ICE/DHS, are irrelevant for Black/African people. Black/African people are already resisting and standing in solidarity in LA, just as people and communities of all backgrounds mobilized during the uprisings of 2020. Beyond this, we know that Black immigrants throughout the U.S. are disproportionately targeted for criminalization, detention, and deportation. Further, mass deportation not only dehumanizes immigrants, but it deepens the carceral and punitive hold of these state over all oppressed residents. This also extends beyond the borders of the U.S., as we continue to see Haitian immigrants and descendants in the Dominican Republic being summarily rounded up, brutalized, deported, and in some cases, killed, in what effectively amounts to an apartheid regime under President Luis Abinader.

Our resistance efforts must be directed at the imperialist structure and forces that cause this situation. What is urgently required is not only solidarity in mobilization, but coordination and organization that can sustain resistance against the physical, structural, and psychological violence of the oppressive forces of imperialism, colonialism, white supremacy, and patriarchy. For this reason, BAP’s central campaign, ‘No Compromise No Retreat: Defeat the War Against Africans / Black People in the U.S. and abroad’ aims to provide a common collective direction toward true peace (i.e. liberation), interconnected anti-imperialist organizing and resistance, and the realization of dignity and self-determination through the framework of People(s)-Centered Human Rights.

A core aspect of this revamped campaign focuses on shutting down ICE and CB the root causes of forced/coerced migration, including ending the criminalization of migration and the dehumanization of migrating people, as well as defending against the violations of national sovereignty that created the conditions for forced displacement and migration in the first place. As Abraham Paulous of the Black Alliance for Just Immigration made clear in BAP’s April webinar “Migration, State Violence, and Global Displacement,” the criminalization of immigration has for decades been utilized as a justification for state violence against and control over Black, Latinx, immigrant, and marginalized communities – advancing the war against our people. This has been particularly aggressive since the passing of the 1996 Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act under U.S. President Bill Clinton.

These violations are the result of imperialist domination and capitalist exploitation, which similarly forced millions of Black/African people to leave the U.S. South throughout the twentieth century. While this is called ‘the Great Migration’, we know that the displacement from land, relationships, community, and livelihoods was primarily caused by white supremacist terror and economic attacks on our people. Instead of falling into nativist arguments about who Black/African people should and should not care about, we must direct our energy, our organizing, our resistance at the imperialists and the capitalists who oppress us all, and who thrive off of our disunity and confusion.

We take inspiration from the actions of resistance from those in Los Angeles County and the organizing that has emerged from the Community Self-Defense Coalition, which BAP SoCal is a part of. From Los Angeles to Santo Domingo to Khartoum to Gaza, defeating the war on Black/African people requires unity in resistance and struggle against the many forms of imperialist violence.

No Compromise, No Retreat!

If you can’t arm a simple clock, digital or analog with a bunch of shotgun shells emptied out and stuffed into a pipe, and zip tied to gasoline with rubber cement and sugar half and half in the glass containers, then get the fuck out of the way.

Burn this fucking place down. The marines? That’s the problem.

Marines like to say about themselves: “There is no better friend, and no worse enemy.” Trump is ordering you to be his best friend, and the worst enemy of the people of the US. And we’ve seen how Trump treats his friends!

There are two possible scenarios with Trump’s mobilization: First: it’s all for show. If so, that show is to scare people–to make civilians so scared of Marines and soldiers that they will not protest his illegal actions. The second (and increasingly likely) scenario: US troops will be ordered to use force against protesters. Nobody should accept these orders as lawful or moral.

You are not alone. Veterans (and service members) everywhere are speaking out and joining anti-Trump protests. You can walk away, you can put down your rifle, and you can speak out. There is a community that will support you. The current moment of Trump’s escalating fascism is one of great historical significance: what you do in this moment will matter, today and for generations to come.

Please read the following statement published by the Center for Protest Law & Litigation issued by constitutional law attorney Nick Place, former Marine Corps Captain and Afghanistan war veteran:

This weekend President Trump took control of and deployed California National Guard troops to Los Angeles to suppress protests and now is mobilizing Marines to Los Angeles. The President has described these protests as a rebellion and a migrant invasion.

We know, and you know, that isn’t true. These protests are a response by Americans in Los Angeles to the government’s intentional provocations, a response to Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s terrorizing abductions of workers, families, and neighbors in their communities and at their jobs. Trump wants to use law enforcement and the military to violently punish people pushing back against his authoritarian agenda and to silence those standing up for human rights and due process.

Whatever forces are deployed, whatever happens on the ground, the Constitution continues to apply, without exception and without question. The First Amendment matters. People have a right to assemble, to speak out, and every single person in Los Angeles and in every city Trump targets has the right to due process of the law—and when masked, unidentifiable men in combat gear kidnap people into vans and armored vehicles and drive them off to undisclosed locations, that right to due process is being violated.

You all saw when Trump took office and immediately started firing senior officers who might offer any pushback to his demands, and put a television host in charge of the Department of Defense. That’s so there are more yes-men up in the chain of command, people who aren’t going to tell the boss when they can’t or shouldn’t do something, people who won’t stop and say no when the Constitution is being violated, and then put you as service members in legal and moral jeopardy by asking you to turn your weapons on civilians in Los Angeles.

To the National Guard soldiers already in LA, to the Marines of 2/7 out in 29 Palms, and to all my other Marines, and to every soldier, sailor, and airmen: your oath is to the Constitution of the United States, not Donald Trump, not Pete Hegseth, not a field-grade officer who needs to impress a boss to get that next staff job he really wants.

There is no tantrum Donald Trump can throw, no threat Pete Hegseth can make, and no action of people in the streets standing up for democracy that nullifies the Constitution of the United States or your oath to it. Do not turn your weapons on civilians on the streets of Los Angeles or any other city for Donald Trump.

Take a moment, remember your oath, and honor your conscience and the Constitution.

‘Fallujah on the Pacific’: Trump’s Plan for Los Angeles

On Sunday, President Donald Trump brazenly defied the Governor of California Gavin Newsom by deploying the national guard against demonstrators in Los Angeles, as they protested against the administration’s immigration raids. Trump’s move marked the first time a president deployed a state’s National Guard without a governor’s request since 1965 – when President Lyndon B. Johnson sent troops to Alabama to protect civil rights protesters.

To help break down the situation in LA, Pulitzer Prize winner, Zeteo contributor, and LA resident Viet Thanh Nguyen joined Mehdi for a town hall Q&A with paid subscribers, where he answered questions from the audience.

During the conversation, Nguyen – who is a refugee himself – explained how Trump has used his anti-migrant rhetoric to justify his drastic move.

“The Trump administration has already set up a narrative that we are in a war of culture and civilization… Depicting this as an invasion of this city by undocumented migrants then allows the Trump Administration to invade the city on its own terms,” Nguyen says to Mehdi.

Shame Shame Shame: What American Justice Looks Like

Today in our deportation police state: ICE goons in combat gear like they’re on recon in Fallujah abduct 4th-graders and dishwashers at taco joints; Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a big-time human trafficker; and tear-gas-and-assault-rifle-laden National Guardsmen roam L.A. in a “massive overreach of authority” by a racist, flailing “chaos-junkie” – “BRING IN THE TROOPS!!” – intent on using Americans’ righteous anger as a pretext for the unbridled despotism he hungers for. With tanks and Marines on the way.

The festering authoritarianism has been escalating for weeks as public opinion turns against a rancid regime’s blundering “policies,” from a big ugly bill cutting vital services to sowing fear by abducting the guiltless brown people who do much of this country’s work as their families and neighbors weep, grieve, protest. “You’re going to see (more) enforcement than you’ve ever seen,” bragged racist ghoul Tom Homan, who admits many victims have committed no crime except paperwork failures. “We’re going to flood the zone.” Facing a malign, doubled quota of 3,000 arrests a day – ’cause these are numbers not humans – Deputy Chief Nazi Stephen Miller reportedly just “eviscerated” minions too focused on finding alleged criminals, “screaming” they need to go after more innocents: “(He) wants everybody arrested. ‘Why aren’t you at Home Depot? Why aren’t you at 7-Eleven?”

With many Hispanic workers concentrated in a few fields – construction, restaurants, landscaping, farm work – ICE thugs have in fact doing often-brutal sweeps of those workplaces. In Tallahassee, a horde descended on the site of a college student housing complex to terrorize – “GET ON THE FUCKING GROUND!” (and stop building stuff amidst a housing crisis) – and arrest about 100 people; neither ICE nor the company seems to have any idea why they targeted the site or who they abducted. The resulting mayhem is often similarly, simultaneously inept and terrifying, from the so-called DOJ quietly deciding to allow ICE goons to do warrantless searches if they suspect the presence of any dreaded “alien enemy” to Homeland Security releasing a list of immigrant “sanctuary” jurisdictions so riddled with mistakes they later said oops never mind and took it down.
