Hi Friend,
Trump's imposition of Fascism on America began on June 8 when he ordered California's National Guard to suppress peaceful protests in Los Angeles against cruel ICE raids - without consulting Governor Gavin Newsom, who commands the California National Guard.
Trump then escalated his Fascist assault by ordering 700 Marines to help suppress the peaceful protests without invoking the Insurrection Act - in violation of the Posse Comitatus Act which prohibits military deployments against civilians in the U.S.
In response to Trump, Governor Newsom gave a powerful speech making clear that this is an assault on ALL Americans.
"This isn't just about protests here in Los Angeles. When Donald Trump sought blanket authority to commandeer the National Guard, he made that order apply to every state in this nation. This is about all of us. This is about you. California may be first, but it clearly will not end here. Other states are next. Democracy is next. Democracy is under assault before our eyes."
Rep. Yvette Clarke (D-NY), who chairs the Congressional Black Caucus, rightfully declared Trump's actions an impeachable offense. But not a single Republican in Congress opposes Trump's fascism, so impeachment will have to wait until we elect a Democratic House majority next November.
Until then, we must protest in the streets. So let's make Saturday's No Kings protests the largest in American history. Find a protest near you and bring an American flag to show Trump and MAGA that WE ARE THE TRUE AMERICAN PATRIOTS.
Thanks for all you do!
Bob Fertik, President
