It's going down in LA [1]

People hit the streets night before last. The LAPD said, “Holy shit, this is on y’all,” to the FBI. It all looked kinda okay but tense for a while. There was no reason to escalate on either side. But now Trump has escalated… AS ALL OF US WHO UNDERSTAND WHAT’S GOING ON FIGURED HE WOULD. He’s trying to create situations to declare emergencies. Y’all know that. He’s declared emergencies already where they don’t exist.

This is big and it will get bigger over the summer. The time for engagement is now. This isn’t about elections and canvasing and GOTV. This is about our liberty and freedom.

We need to support the people who live in LA who are like, “What the ever-living FUCK are y’all even doing out here with the National Guard?” We need to support them even if they don’t talk like the people we’re accustomed to seeing on TV. We need to support them even if they don’t dress like the people we’re accustomed to seeing on TV.

The MAGA regime’s goal is to take over this country, and they’re escalating RIGHT NOW in LA. If your goal is to stop them, you better pay attention to what’s going down in LA right now. Pay close attention. Check your biases because, and I’ll say it again as a long time poster here who’s pretty familiar with the DK demographic, the people actually on the streets in LA are regular people like DK people are, but they probably don’t talk like and/or and dress like the people on TV you learn about this shit from. It may not, and probably doesn’t, look like your neighborhood. But if you lived in that neighborhood chances are you’d like/respect/admire a whole lot of those people who are protesting.

Don’t think that your freedoms aren’t being threatened too. If Trump conquers LA, you’re next.

There’s tons of protests planned for 6-14.

Find one and be a part of it.
