You know Trump said We will be met with Force if we protest

And then he goes on to say but I haven't heard about any protests so

I just want to warn everybody that yes, he's heard about protest. Everybody has the fact that he says he hasn't means he's got something up his sleeve and there may be proud boys at those protests. So all I say to your listeners is peaceful, protest, peaceful protest and be careful

When dictators encounter strong opposition they ramp up the violence to intimidate their opponents. Trump is doing this now. He is using overwhelming force to stop his critics.

Only MAGA are allowed to attack police and beat them. Trump pardoned domestic terrorists and now threatens Americans if they protest. People have the right to protest. Protest anyway!

This Saturday we say NO to authoritarianism. As Trump throws his wannabe dictator parade, we will be in the streets for the NO Kings rally.

I'll be there wearing this "Don't blame, I voted for her" shirt 👇

If things get out of hand I'm just going to sit down because if you sit down you know you're in it because otherwise they just throw you down

He's losing everything, so he had to bring out the troops to appear strong and in control. He's a terrible person.

The lapd is highly trained not to shoot rubber bullets directly at people. This is a lethal act. So who gave the order and who is doing this?

We create our hellscape and we create our promised land. We. All of us. I wonder about those so inspired to vote for this moron’s morass. Why don’t we forge a new fate. No one but us can do that. https://hotbuttons.substack.com/p/forging-fate?r=3m1bs

Trump did pick the wrong governor-a strong, intelligent one who's not about to back down. And I'm not just prejudiced as a forever California resident. What about the insurrectionists pardoned by Trump who are dangerous? How is it fine for them to be wandering around, except those who've already broken the law again.

With all due respect, We know this and just talking about it is driving me crazy. We have democratic leadership that is doing nothing and acting like a wounded deer. This is sickening to see this at my age is just nuts.

So very hard to live long enough to see the rights we fought for—and won—being taken away all over again.
