That one is the ICE protest that is in downtown and started last week because trump started raiding workplaces.

I'm taking about those Hands Off and the No Kings protests. Those were planned long before. Big ones were on April 5, April 19 and the biggest today. But people are still coming and protesting weekly.

Yeah I would stay away from downtown for now, looks like LAPD does everything to escalate and then use large force because "they had no choice". Even today they still escalated.

I've been attending those weekly. They are very peaceful.

Insurance guy. The healthcare is what he was denying.

It raises above. Any news needs time to spread.

On the other hand https://youtu.be/kz58-dvAiCM bring your family, kids and don't let others make it violent. Bring an American flag (those fascist don't represent it) I've been attending those weekly and they are very peaceful and mostly full of seniors (which is sad, because younger generation has the most to lose from this).

If those protests suddenly turn violent after those months it will be because planted agitators.

I wasn't aware of state guard, but after looking out up looks like California does have it, although it is about 900 troops so I guess that's why it's is almost as if it wasn't there.

Yeah, exactly this was actually mentioned on page 555 of the project.

What LAPD is doing needs to be investigated and they need being punished for it, but as of now Newsom doesn't have control over national guard, trump used an obscure law with very weak justification to get control of it.

This is what this lawsuit is about. To get the control back.

[–] takeda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 days ago

When taking to the press they purposefully used words like "invasion" and "rebellion" to help with justification of invoking this obscure law but it is clear it is not.

The lawsuit is that trump took away Newsome's control of the national guard. This is why he can't "just order" them.

[–] takeda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 days ago

The whole reason for this suit is that trump is taking control of our own national guard through some obscure law so Newsom no longer can control it.
