The martial law has started - New Trump Memo

https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/06/ department-of-defense-security-for-the-protection-of- department-of-homeland-security-functions/

TL;DR - Equates the Protests against ICE as a form of violent rebellion against the US government, authorizes the DoD to deploy military in any number to any location in the country "as necessary".

MEMORANDUM FOR THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE

Numerous incidents of violence and disorder have recently occurred and threaten to continue in response to the enforcement of Federal law by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and other United States Government personnel who are performing Federal functions and supporting the faithful execution of Federal immigration laws. In addition, violent protests threaten the security of and significant damage to Federal immigration detention facilities and other Federal property. To the extent that protests or acts of violence directly inhibit the execution of the laws, they constitute a form of rebellion against the authority of the Government of the United States.

In light of these incidents and credible threats of continued violence, by the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, I hereby call into Federal service members and units of the National Guard under 10 U.S.C. 12406 to temporarily protect ICE and other United States Government personnel who are performing Federal functions, including the enforcement of Federal law, and to protect Federal property, at locations where protests against these functions are occurring or are likely to occur based on current threat assessments and planned operations. Further, I direct and delegate actions as necessary for the Secretary of Defense to coordinate with the Governors of the States and the National Guard Bureau in identifying and ordering into Federal service the appropriate members and units of the National Guard under this authority. The members and units of the National Guard called into Federal service shall be at least 2,000 National Guard personnel and the duration of duty shall be for 60 days or at the discretion of the Secretary of Defense. In addition, the Secretary of Defense may employ any other members of the regular Armed Forces as necessary to augment and support the protection of Federal functions and property in any number determined appropriate in his discretion.

To carry out this mission, the deployed military personnel may perform those military protective activities that the Secretary of Defense determines are reasonably necessary to ensure the protection and safety of Federal personnel and property The Secretary of Defense shall consult with the Attorney General and the Secretary of Homeland Security prior to withdrawing any personnel from any location to which they are sent. The Secretaries of Defense and Homeland Security may delegate to subordinate officials of their respective Departments any of the authorities conferred upon them by this memorandum.

stay safe, American CEople

I've mentioned this before how it was the goal. History is repeating

We all knew this would come

Now the question remains just how many in the military will go along with this

Blocking or inconvenicing police is not rebellion fuck off to hell dipshit

So much for those 1st amendment rights.

If peaceful protest is no longer a legal option...

There's no desirable or pleasant way to complete that sentence.

The naive optimist in me thinks this is just a sloppy attempt to scare people into not protesting the Donald parade in a week because it would hurt Donald's ego.

But the realist in me knows every single thing the government has done has been to constantly and continuously probe and erode legal protections and rights to consolidate power under the executive branch

But wasn't that just dooming?

He'd never do something like that, people said so.

But her laugh tho

Where are the maga fucks saying "nah hes just joking, he wouldn't take away all our rights"

Too busy jerking each other off at other people's rights being taken away. You'll eventually hear them from their cry "I didn't vote for this!" when it hurts them.

They'll just blame Biden as per usual.

All because the American voter couldn't be asked to vote against facism.

Nah, at this point it's time to stop giving them the benefit of the doubt. They wanted this. Despite how much they might cry about it in the end, they wanted this to happen.

Yep, this is everything they wanted.

This is not good

Declaring martial law without declaring martial law so his idiot supporters will still be in denial.

They do it with racist dog whistles so it's hardly unexpected behavior from them.

This is so terrible and so utterly predictable all at the same time.

We gave away everything this country has aspired to for 250 years so easily. All it took was a few decades to build a cult and a handful of other people too lazy and uniformed and stupid to bother casting a vote to stop it.

I hate Trump. I hate his feckless enablers. And I hate the voters who could have stopped this-voting in two elections-but didnt.

And since this is America, I am going to continue to protest and write and say what I damn well please about this corrupt abomination of a government.

He's now had an insurrection in each of his terms. One defined by common use of the term and the other defined by fiat.

My dumbass Trumper coworker had said something like "Thank goodness that'll never happen here." when the South Korean president enacted martial law. I told him that Trump said he was going to do it and he responds with "Well, he probably won't."
Then I tore into him for voting for someone who he clearly doesn't even trust to follow through and he had no comeback other than "W...well I guess we'll just have to see what happens."

Fuck.

My coworker just hates immigrants (despite being one herself) and is OK with Trump doing whatever he wants because "both sides suck and the Democrats only ever complain about abusing the Constitution when it was convenient it doesn' t really matter".

Dark days are ahead of us, and Im not going to lie, this honestly scares the hell out of me not only for my own safety, but also for that of my friends and loved ones whom Im far more concerned about than my own wellbeing.

However, Im refusing to give into despair and will do whatever I can to continue pushing back against this wickedness no matter what happens to me as a result since Ive thankfully had my eyes opened to how evil this regime is and I cant in good conscience turtle up and not look out for my fellow Americans who are at the most risk of getting hurt or worse by it.

Oh, it was broken in two spots? Somehow I only noticed the one.

Just an FYI, you can separate the URL into different lines instead of adding spaces. That way you can still just highlight, copy, and paste all in one go.

Kamala has to earn my vote.

God I hate him and his cult so much.

Oh man, I couldn't do it. In 2020, one of my co-workers told me, unprompted, that he was a Republican. I've avoided talking to him as much as possible, because I don't want to say something I shouldn't.

Just a quick reality check for everyone.

It's time to say this out loud, people who did not vote for Kamala (Trump voters, third party voters, people who choose not to vote), were voting for the end of American Democracy!

Are they to be blamed more than the actual people who voted for him or do they get a free pass?

This is how racist and sexist America really is, they would rather have no country, then one run by a Black Woman.

I don't know who the "they" are in that statement. But there is no 'MORE' and there are no free passes.

If you didn't vote for Kamala you voted for THIS!

America got scared of the imagined terror and instead just regressed back to the norm, stupid white guy, who was the real terror the entire time.

but but she wasnt strong enough on Gaza! I had to sit out this election!

Why would such blatant stupidity get a free pass for? Protest voters, non-voters, and their defenders, the whole lot of them screwed up. Their selfish actions are the reasons why this past weekend has happened. And they need to own up to that, or admit that this is what they wanted.

And I gotta say, I'm surprised many of those defenders haven't spoken up during this past weekend. Not that they have any room at all to say a single word.

So we sang all night by the big cooling tower.
They have the plant but we have the power.

Why would they say anything? They either got what they wanted or are too cowardly to own up to it.
