"This is truly scary and should be opposed by all. What is Trump planning to mobilize for or against? Free speech? Freedom of Assembly? Freedom of Religion? Being Black, brown or Asian? Or maybe being Palestinian? Jewish? Anything he opposes? It's time to contact your U.S. representatives and senators and tell them to exert whatever pressure they can to stop this scary attempt at silencing us."
"Donald Trump says, "We're under invasion from within. No different than a foreign enemy but more difficult in many ways because they don't wear uniforms." That enemy is anyone who disagrees with Trump. This sets the stage for a police state right here in America. Generals might have to decide to disobey an illegal order or face termination with a possible loss of pension."
"I was saddened and infuriated by the recent double homicide in Antioch. With the crime rates going up and incidents seeming to be never-ending, I have become numb to all of the violence that has been happening. I have to always ask what the mayor of the city of Antioch and the City Council are doing about the violence? There needs to be something"
Military drills in named U.S. cities raise alarm about potential uses of armed forces to suppress dissent and target protected freedoms including speech, assembly, religion, and race. An emergency meeting of high-ranking officers and presidential statements framing domestic opponents as an "invasion from within" suggest preparations that could enable enforcement actions against political opponents, forcing military leaders into legal and moral dilemmas. Concerns extend to U.S. foreign policy, citing continued shipments of large bombs to Israel that allegedly violate Leahy Laws and contribute to civilian casualties in Gaza. Rising local violence, exemplified by a double homicide in Antioch, prompts calls for mayoral and city council accountability and stronger protective measures.
