Trump is escalating his assault on American cities. His attempt to deploy National Guard troops to Portland and Chicago are unbelievably frightening.

But they’re also a sign that Trump knows he’s rapidly losing time and popular support.

President Trump says he would invoke the Insurrection Act 'if it was necessary'

Trump said he would consider invoking the Insurrection Act to deploy the military into cities if courts block his deployment of National Guard troops.

I cannot express enough how this is what has been happening for some time in Broadview. Federal agents assault, shoot chemical munitions at, and arrest protesters completely unprovoked.

And state police are now helping border patrol to combat and arrest protesters.

Great work everyone.

shawn @mulchy.bsky.social · 5d

moments ago: pandemonium.

a huge mass of border patrol agents, led by greg bovino, pushed the crowd of protesters and started grabbing people at random.

leading up to this, folks were just calmly standing in the grass, following isp’s orders.

multiple people detained. no clue how many.
