With state National Guard units creating “quick reaction forces” for “crowd control” at the Pentagon’s request, and ICE increasing its annual spending on guns, armor, and chemical weapons by 600%, a domestic “forever war” against US citizens seems likely.

This is not a reaction to the shooting of the National Guard members
This is a plan, triggered by it
That the plan was triggered by an emotionally unstable, easily manipulated immigrant with CIA connections, doing the inexpressible shooting raises a great many questions.
Impartial investigation?😹😹

The National Guard should be home this holiday season. Today together with our allies at Common Defense we asked holiday shoppers to share their reasons why they want the Guard to go home.
Our demand remains: National Guard out NOW.

There is no version of reality where Pete Hegseth was remotely qualified or morally fit for the position he occupies.
That’s why our troops are in danger, it’s why our National Guard members were shot, it’s why we have armed, masked thugs terrorizing people…

West Virginia lawmakers are now questioning the need for their National Guard in DC after 2 of their members were shot.

It was an honor to meet with leadership of the Washington State National Guard.
Our National Guard members sacrifice so much to serve this country, and it is critical that we work to ensure that their skills are respected and used correctly, not politicized by this administration.

It never fails, when some BIPOC commits some sort of crime, the entire group is punished. Of course we are referring to the President's response to the killing of the two National Guard members in DC by an Afghan immigrant

Activating he National Guard throughout the Deep South red states and targetting blue cities around the United States is not going to end well.
Trump needs to stop acting like he has his own private militia and using our military against us. Full stop.
