To any National Guard personnel reading this message:
Refuse unlawful orders. Refuse to treat your own country like a warzone. You do not want to live the rest of your life with that guilt. Trust me, I speak to you as a veteran with many regrets, who has to live with the effects of moral injury every day. Do not obey. #LA #NationalGuard #ICE

#Republican *lawmakers* & #Trump admin ofcls lined up on Sun morning to support Trump’s decision to activate 2k members of the #California #NationalGuard to #LosAngeles as part of a crackdown on #protests over #immigration enforcement.

Trump’s decision to deploy #troops came in direct opposition to the wishes of Gov #GavinNewsom & #LA Mayor #KarenBass, both #Democrats, who said that local authorities have it under control.

In a sign of #California’s widening anger at the #Trump admin, including from the political center, the #LosAngeles Civic Alliance, a coalition of #business & #civic leaders that for years has served as the voice of the establishment in the Los Angeles region, condemned the deployment of the #NationalGuard in SoCal as an “#unconstitutional action” on Monday & charged that Trump had acted illegally.

‘Wildly underprepared’: #NationalGuard troops sleeping on floors

The #troops — whose makeshift quarters are shown in photographs exclusively obtained by the Chronicle — arrived WITHOUT federal funding for #food, #water, #fuel, #equipment or #lodging, said the source, who was granted confidentiality under SF Chronicle policies. This person said #state ofcls & the #California National Guard were not to blame.

Photos obtained by the Chronicle show California National Guard troops deployed by the Trump administration to Los Angeles packed together in what appear to federal building basements or loading docks. The source who provided the photo said they redacted the name of one soldier that appeared in this photo.

#Trump can keep #NationalGuard deployed to #LosAngeles for now, appeals court rules

US appeals court late Thurs allowed Trump to maintain his deployment of National Guard #troops in #LA amid #protests over aggressive #immigration enforcement, temporarily pausing a lower court's ruling blocking the mobilization.
The #9thCircuit Court of Appeals' decision does not mean the court will ultimately agree w/Trump, but it means he will maintain command of the guard for now.

#Marines were seen standing guard outside a federal building in #LosAngeles on Friday as they started operations after #protests erupted last week over #immigration raids.

Maj. Gen. Scott Sherman, commander of Task Force 51 who is overseeing the 4,700 troops deployed by #Trump, said the Marines finished [2 days of] training on civil disturbance & are starting their operations by replacing #NationalGuard #troops.

"In #LosAngeles, where #ICE has launched a dragnet, the LA Unified School District [#LAUSD] put in place new protective measures. Many families have nevertheless still opted to skip #graduation & #schools are streaming ceremonies for those who feel safer at home."

The Nine Principles of Propaganda:

1. LIE BIG Big lies
work better than small lies
because the masses
won't believe that anyone
would lie “about that.”

2. FOCUS Don't
make it complicated,
ignore history, keep it
simple for simple minds.

3. REPEAT People
cannot tell the difference
between facts and
familiarity. The same
words repeated over and
over will become true in
their minds.

4. BLAME Never
credit the other side,
always blame, debase,
defame, and dehumanize.

5. PROVOKE Outrage,
fear, and resentment are
more powerful than reason,
logic, or facts.

6. CRISIS Issues must
be life or death, good vs evil,
love vs hate, us vs them.
Urgency defeats objection.

7. EMOTION A person
might question facts, but
they will never question their
own feelings. Go emotional.

8. PANDER Praise allies
generously, demonize all
who disagree as having bad
intentions or non-expert.

9. NO LIMIT The victor's
morality won't be questioned.
Morality is for losers.

#JDVance is traveling to #LosAngeles Friday to meet w/ #Marines & visit federal command centers.

Vance’s office did not release a reason for his visit. But #LA has been the epicenter of #protests against the #Trump admin’s #MassDeportation ops.

Trump deployed #NationalGuard troops to LA this month in response to the protests. #California sued for a #TRO to stop the deployment, but a federal appeals court ruled in Trump’s favor Thurs night while litigation continues.
