This past weekend, Donald Trump showed us what kind of king he thinks he is. As protestors turned out to oppose immigration raids in their community, Donald Trump deployed the National Guard against the wishes of Governor Gavin Newsom.
As the weekend unfolded, we watched thousands of armed soldiers from the National Guard arrive in Los Angeles. Now, 700 Marines have been deployed.
All this just days before Trump’s scheduled birthday military parade in Washington, D.C.
No matter how near or far you are to Los Angeles, we’re all in this struggle together. What’s happening there could happen in your community. Trump’s deployment of the National Guard and now the Marines is a dangerous abuse of power—and part of a growing pattern.
This is how tyrants behave. This is how dictators behave.
Trump wants full control over us—and we won’t let him have it. It’s up to all of us to show our country and the world that this isn’t who we are.
