Tense confrontations between police and demonstrators in L.A. continued for a second day on Saturday, in response to operations by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents

Donald Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, said he plans to send the National Guard to Los Angeles to combat protests against ICE that began this weekend following immigration raids in the city.

“We are making Los Angeles safer. Mayor Bass should be thanking us. She says they are going to mobilize—guess what? We are already mobilizing. We are going to bring the National Guard in tonight,” Homan told Fox News.

His comments come after Senior White House adviser Stephen Miller railed against the protests, calling them an “insurrection” against the United States.

Fighting back is the only thing that works. Look at 2020. Fighting back effectively kept the number of Trump W's in that time in the single digits.

The absolute cowardice and cuckoldry the Democrats have shown isn't a path to stopping fascism. Time to dust off your gear from 2019 folks.

yes.

Democrats, even in the minority, were highly effective at stopping Trump from getting almost anything done legislatively, and also were effective somewhat at curtailing his executive overreach.

A major component of that was how they embraced the left, which was mostly focused on BLM, as a source of outside power. The inside outside power game can be highly effective when both parties understand their roles.

2025 and Schumer and Jefferies decided on the strategy of curl up and die, after basically denying the base of the party a place at the podium last convention. There are still some good Democrats, but the rest need to embrace their base.
