💁🏻‍♀️ ICYMI: ⚔️📸 What was it like for photographers Alexander Gardner and Alfred Waud to document #Gettysburg just days after the battle ended? Here historians walk the same ground, connecting the quiet national park to the devastating three-day battle that claimed 51,000 casualties.

@Lana @Nonilex Than war he shall have. Trump is NUTS to escalate the #civilwar in this country all the way to state on state or state vs Federal. This shit will blow the US apart and could fan the flames of conflict to a roaring inferno.

California is strong, mighty strong. I may go there myself to fight if we cannot hold Florida and DC is occupied by the Enemy.

We shall not flag or fail, we'll go on to the end. We shall fight with great confidence and strength in the streets, we shall fight in the forests and in the hills, we shall never surrender!

Civil war anyone?

“We are staying here to liberate the city from the socialists and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country and what they have tried to insert into the city.”

TPM - Talking Points Memo · Noem Says National Guard Occupation Is Meant To ‘Liberate’ LA From Its Mayor And GovernorBy Nicole Lafond

So what? Will the justices throw gavels at the Nazi scum in uniform? The Republican party's Marines? The Republican party's Army? The Republican party's Air Force? The Republican party's Navy? The Republican party's Space Force? The Republican party's National Guard? Gonna throw them thangs?

This is civil war. The DoD is the Republican party's war machine to use against Democrats.

#Intifada Update June 12 2:40 EDT:

The Intifada against Trump and ICE is spreading, we have serious fighting in multiple cities and National Guard deployments to multiple cities.

Both civil wars and revolutions often start like this. The Syrian civil war certainly did.

As of now we have:

National Guard deployed in LA, Marines about to deploy
Fighting continues in LA anyway

Fighting in San Francisco too

Fighting in Seattle

Cop cars set on fire in a police parking lot in NYC

Cop cars smashed in a battle in Atlanta

Fighting in Austin, Texas
Texas Governor Abbot mobilizing the TX National Guard himself against protesters

National Guard being deployed by Trump to 5 more "deep blue" cities some of which don't even have fighting yet.

So far the pattern looks like this:

In cities not experiencing ICE raids and where police do not attack protesters, the protests stay peaceful.

In cities with a critical mass of community defenders, ICE raids are resisted by force. Fighting then continues after the initial raid is defeated or limited by defenders.

In cities where police assault peaceful protesters, force is sometimes (not always) met with force. Fighting may then continue for the duration

Video: cop cars burn in an NYC police parking lot. Published by Unity of Fields so unlikely to be old recycled 2020 footage.

Troops and marines deeply troubled by LA deployment: ‘Morale is not great’

“The sentiment across the board right now is that deploying military force against our own communities isn’t the kind of national security we signed up for,” said Sarah Streyder of the Secure Families Initiative, which represents the interests of military spouses, children and veterans.

#USpol

Yes, I can see why these examples come to mind. Also, while federalizing the #NationalGuard has (sensible) legal precents, sending elite combat groups (#Marines) to a #US city has not. This is not a #CivilWar (yet.)

I and others have long been awaiting the invocation of the #InsurrectionAct. #LA could prove a testing ground.
#POTUS and several of his cabinet are waging war on political dissidents, possibly soon not only rethorically.
As I wrote yesterday, this is 1933/84
