Trump’s deployment of the National Guard in California is not about the protests.
It is about expanding his never-ending grasp for more power. It is about moving this country toward authoritarianism.
All Americans must stand together against this gross abuse of power.
Peaceful protest is the bedrock of our movement.
Thousands demonstrated exactly that – coming together to demand the release of David Huerta and to call for an end to the cruel, destructive, and indiscriminate ICE raids that are tearing apart our communities.

Grant Park in downtown Los Angeles, full of union members peacefully singing and talking and carrying their signs.
For those who live elsewhere, this is the heart of downtown #LosAngeles. My friends are here. My union is here (sup @wgawest.bsky.social). My teenager is here. People are passing out pastries & singing & praying. All we want is for our neighbors not to be kidnapped off the streets.
