According to retired, high ranking officers, those still in the military are already asking how to disobey orders. The governors need to do more than make statements and file lawsuits. They need to work actively to organize their citizens on the ground.
I've posted this elsewhere, but sharing again because I think it's important.
Here’s my suggestion for everyone: if you see masked guys like this with guns and law enforcement markings trying to cuff someone, ask them once to show their law enforcement identification card. Not a badge. An ID card that shows this person actually works for a law enforcement agency. If they refuse, call 911 immediately and report an armed kidnapping in progress. Let CPD take it from there. And record everything.
I’m a federal criminal defense attorney and I’ve had real cases in the Chicago area where robbery crews went around dressed as federal agents—with guns, badges, vests, dashboard lights, handcuffs, etc.—roll up on victims and then commit armed robberies, kidnappings for ransom, home invasions, and torture after they’ve “arrested” them.
That’s why masked guys claiming to be cops running around grabbing people is such a dangerous thing. Unless and until proven otherwise, I would not take anyone’s word that they really are law enforcement if they’re hiding their face and won’t show identification.
Reporting this as a crime does two things. First, they really may not be cops. If they aren’t and that guy goes in the vehicle, we’ll be lucky to see him again.
Second, it creates a local paper trail documenting the incident. When the cops arrive they have to check ID and will have to write an incident report. This ensures there’s a record of who these guys actually are and of who they’re trying to haul away, as well as whether there was a warrant.
They wear masks and hide their identities because they don’t want to be held accountable by the courts and the public. This is the most effective counter to that problem that I can think of.
(FWIW, it’s also why they’re targeting people for immigration offenses, not criminal offenses. It cuts the judicial system out of the loop, avoiding any inconvenient questions from a judge. But that’s a different discussion.)
U.S. District Judge Karin J. Immergut temporarily blocked the administration from sending any state’s National Guard troops under federal control to Portland.
Pritzker Says Federal Agents Are Trying to Make Chicago a ‘War Zone’
Gov. JB Pritzker of Illinois said he had ordered state agencies to investigate a raid on a Chicago apartment building where there had been reports of “nearly naked” children zip-tied by federal officers.
We saw the leathery crimpled hands of Trump, and they are in bad condition rheumatoid arthritis folded over each one, very aged like an old white nepotism baby blubber sick rotted person, slowly deteriorating in health!
Little Baby Trumpty is a "Nepo baby" is a shortening of nepotism, referring to the act of giving advantages, privileges, or positions to relatives or friends, especially in a career context. The term is often seen in the slang phrase "nepo baby," which describes someone whose career success is attributed to their 'parents' fame, connections, or influence within an industry, rather than solely their own merit. The term carries a pejorative implication that the individual's success is "unearned" and was facilitated by familial favoritism.
“ Trump used a thin pretext to invade LA. Now he aims to send the National Guard into Chicago and Portland—just because he can.”
What an insensitive, cirrus leftist are you, Garry? For decade after decade, EVERY year 500 to a 1000 Chicagoans lose their lives because people who PAY YOU benefit from it. How many of children lose their lives?
It is quickly becoming all about Scotus, boys, and girls. Will the resentment caucus on Scotus (Thomas, Alito, Kavanaugh, and Gorsuch) support the militarization of America, or at least the blue states? You bet. Our only hope is to start a very vocal shame campaign against Scotus. By the way, when Steven Miller, tells the NFL that Bad Bunny cannot do the halftime at the Super Bowl because his people are a domestic terrorism threat, Taylor Swift should step up for the job.
All part of the "Dictator's Handbook" which is a great read on how this happens. Next up Trump finds a way to block pay to military and police with this shutdown, while offering to pay the "loyal few" (traitors) out of his special funds. Then he's got his cronies and his minions lined up. It is happening here people.
This Daily Beast interview with Dr John Gartner is a great watch to discuss Cheeto’s advancing dementia(https://bit.ly/47TyuxN) which is more and more noticeable as the symptoms are clear As Gartner notes we have digital tracking over the years to compare where he was 20 years ago and now how his functioning has deteriorated that is not explained by advancement of age And the stress of the presidency is obviously accelerating his dementia and psychopathy
The interview exposes the reasons why we are making many of the observations of Cheeto who is clinically described as a malignant narcissist who gets off on inflicting pain on Americans, unable to love anyone, and having no remorse of past criminal behavior Interestingly Epstein shared the same psychopathy
One need not look at his evolving dementia any further than the embarrassment of the UN performance today This guy is looney tunes and dangerous with all his Nazi sympathizers struggling to make their Project 2025 agenda move forward
