During a Tuesday hearing at the 9th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals, the DOJ urged a three-judge panel to issue an emergency stay of a lower court order and allow the Trump administration’s deployment of the California National Guard to continue in Los Angeles — going so far as to argue a president’s federalization of militia can’t be second-guessed by the courts, even if the chief executive mobilized forces from all 50 states and Washington, D.C., simultaneously.

The time to rebel is now

These people want you dead

Arm yourselves.

Do not go quietly when they come for you

Drag one with you to your grave

My state says I have to pay a tax, do live fire training, get 2 background checks and wait several weeks before I can arm myself.

Guess we will just die.

Oh and I can't carry it virtually anywhere. Maybe to the range if its unloaded and locked and ammunition stored somewhere separately.

Did I also mention I am limited to 10 or less rounds?

I was going to add something else but there is a kiaboy with an autoswitch glock and extended mag tapping on my window while I type this.

Breaking an immoral law is no crime.

2A is in our constitution.

Fucking preach, I wish more people in California recognized this

[–] Critical_Thinker@lemm.ee 9 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Isn't the national guard supposed to be a state level militia?

Makes zero sense that the federal government should dictate where and how they are used. The feds should be going to states and asking to borrow their militia for whatever happens, typically national disaster response and not murdering political dissenters.

[–] nthavoc@lemmy.today 3 points 15 hours ago

National Guard is part of the Army which is typically composed of reserve units. They are a state militia that report to the State and to the Federal Government. Most of their assets are federal assets. The governor can activate the national guard in a state of emergency without waiting on the president. However, the president can take over if a national emergency is declared or during war time for redeployment. Orange Chicken Little has manufactured a national crisis that is the "Invasion of Illegals". They are basically trying to strong arm dismantling the Posse Comitatus Act and bypass congress. Once that happens you can't impeach the Donvict because he is overseeing a national crisis.

quashing protests, will eventually leader to larger protests and then uprising, and maybe a rebellion eventually.

Arrogant shits, aren't they?

[–] DarkDecay@lemmy.world 65 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Do you want a rebellion? Cause this how you get rebellions

[–] smeenz@lemmy.nz 48 points 1 day ago (7 children)

Yes, they do, because it will distract from the US joining a war in Iran, and from all of trumps other crimes.

[–] DicJacobus@lemmy.world 8 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

The foreign wars arent the point. The foreign wars are a means to an end

The end. Is being able to isolate one's self from the rest of the world. Enjoy perpetual dictatorial rule through martial law. And rule your corner of the world like an absolute monarchy. The other parts of the world can deal with their own regional warlords like Russia and China

The foreign wars. Like starting a war with Iran. Are likely going to be used as a vehicle to declare martial law in the USA. And once that happens. Trump is never going away until death takes him

[–] smeenz@lemmy.nz 1 points 16 hours ago

He's already never going away until he's dead. Doesn't need to start a war to effect that, it's already happened with the corrupt courts.

That's fascism, folks.

Arm yourselves.

Also, maybe don't do something dumb like vote 3rd party or abstain from voting next time around. Y'all were warned. Now it's happening.

[–] Buske@lemmy.world 6 points 20 hours ago

What about all the votes that were lost, removed, not counted? The way the elections, gerrymandering and more, Its all rigged.

Look, if the only plan to stop the fascist uprising that has been building for decades was "win every election forever", then there was no fucking plan. This shit was going to happen at some point.

Stop scolding people for not falling in line with you and start figuring out what to do next.

well, what did the ninth circuit have to say in response?

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 4 points 18 hours ago

Either "We agree, he can do that" or "No, he can't do that." In either case, he will do that and nobody will stop him.

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 202 points 2 days ago (7 children)

The DOJ attorney emphasized that “sustained mob violence” in response to ICE raids is “no ordinary civil unrest,” claimed that it is ongoing, and asserted that such violence is “expressly aimed at preventing federal officers from enforcing federal law,” supporting Trump’s federalization of the Golden State’s National Guard.

That's just a lie, isn't it?

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 20 hours ago

Fuck these feckless attorneys who are willing to do this shit.

They should never be able to work again after this. At best. Many belong in prison.
