A Lawyer on YouTube, I'm not generally aware of talking about politics in the past, has put out a few videos where he's said some stronger things. 

This is what you get when the US outsources police training to Israel.

https://therealnews.com/deadly-exchange-us-sends-hundreds-of-law-enforcement-to-israel-to-learn-worst-practices-from-idf

Through police exchange programs, local and federal officials travel to Israel for training that advocates say further militarizes the police and exacerbates harm to marginalized communities.

Thousands of law enforcement officials have traveled to Israel to learn new repression strategies and surveillance techniques from the Israel National Police, Israel Defense Forces, and the Shin Bet, who inflict violence, crowd control, and surveillance onto Palestinians. Anti-imperialist advocates say the tactics being taught to US law enforcement were battle-tested on Palestinians and spread to the US to target Black and Brown communities through a training relationship that grants Israeli forces more power and profit, causing further harm to Palestinians. 

It's all connected and not a coincidence Trump is escalating the protests as much as possible. 



And already going after Union leaders

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

—Martin Niemöller

Trump is going harder on US citizens for protesting than he has with Russia for attempted genocide.

Trump suggests he would support arrest of California Governor

President Trump has suggested he would support the arrest of California's Governor. Gavin Newsom - who's a Presidential contender for the Democrats - is suing the Trump administration for deploying the National Guard in LA to quell protests sparked by immigration raids across the city.

NYPD ROUGH UP Anti-ICE Protesters Trying to Block Deportations

Independent videojournaliat Jon Farina covered anti-ICE protests happening outside of the federal immigration courthouse in NYC on June 7th, 2025. In this clip, protesters can be seen trying to block the transport of white vans—which often are transporting detained undocumented immigrants—from exiting the courthouse.

Lincoln suspended habeas corpus twice during the Civil War, under the debated meaning of the Suspension Clause.

Also, the courts have been mixed as to what protections non-US persons have:

On the one hand, Yamataya v. Fisher (1903) extended protections to non-citizens including criminal aliens.

On the other, the US border service was able to proceed under the Patriot Act to seize phones, computers and other papers of foreign persons upon entry into the US.  This power is not allowed for US persons under the Fourth Amendment.

Given all that, I'd be careful claiming that somehow Donald Trump is acting out of turn given what his predecessors (going back 31 presidents...) have done.  Just ask those Americans that Obama drone-deleted!

The question is, did you actually care when the show trials in Manhattan were going on last year, or is this just about scoring political points?

CNN: We have breaking news now from the Pentagon. CNN can now report that roughly 500 Marines are being mobilized in response to the protests in Los Angeles.

for context here’s a map of greater Los Angeles and the protest is the roughly the red circle

Newsom: Trump completely lied. He said in a tweet everything is safe. Is that the case Mr. Trump? It’s his mess, we’re trying to clean up.

Reporter: There’s a pretty good chance Trump might be watching

Newsom: I hope so, he might learn something— rescind this order— it’s illegal. You’re creating the conditions you claim you’re solving and you’re not

Newsom: We talked for 20 minutes, this issue never came up. I kept trying to talk about LA, he wanted to talk about all these other issues. He never once brought up the national guard.

There’s no working with the President. There’s only working for him. I will never work for Trump

Newsom: He needs to stand down. Donald Trump is inflaming these conditions. This is Donald. Trump's problem right now. And if he can’t solve it, we will.

Newsom responds to Homan statement on possibly arresting him: He's a tough guy. Why doesn't he do that? He knows where to find me. Lay your hands off four year old girls that are trying to get educated. Come and arrest me. Let’s just get it over with tough guy. I don’t give a damn

This Newsom is so much better than the Newsom who decided to fucking interview far-right transphobes.

Los Angeles would not have been obliterated.

Q: What crimes has Gavin Newsom committed?

Meanwhile the National Guard...

Sending the Marines to deal with protesters is absolutely unhinged and should be called out harshly by every US media (Lol). Have the US Marines ever been deployed against US Citizens mildly protesting? FFS. What a joke, I would be absolutely disgusted if I was a US Marine to be deployed on the people I'm meant to protect. Can only hope US Marines have more damn discipline and training than America's cops who decide everything that breaths near them needs a bullet. Will they be worse than the LAPD? Hopefully not.

What a joke, Trump is talking so much shit to try to escalate the situation, I've seen far, far, far, more violent protests from dozens of sports fans after their favourite team has lost than these LA protests which have by most accounts been mostly peaceful and non-violent. Oh 5 Waymo cars were burnt, that totally justifies sending in the goddamn army /s. How about the cops blasting people with rubber bullets for absolutely no reason or stomping over people with their horses? Or shooting people in the face with rubber bullets? I don't give a fuck about some Google vehicles over all that.

Trump is desperate for an excuse to escalate things.
