    A lot of scary buzz words in the article but it seems ro mostly be hyperbole. Not exactly encouraging people to burn the city down but rather to stand up for their rights:

    “Stop the raids! National Guard OUT of LA!” PSL said in a lengthy Sunday statement. “The National Guard deployment is a desperate attempt to intimidate people out of exercising their First Amendment rights. If they can get away with it in Los Angeles, then that will only embolden the Trump administration to use greater and greater repressive force all across the country, against any expression of dissent regardless of the issue in question. For those who believe in immigrant rights, for those who believe in democracy, for the entire working class — now is the time to take to the streets in protest!”

    PSL has also been running a “Don’t Open for ICE” campaign in both English and Spanish, which says, “Don’t let Trump and ICE win without a fight! Papers or not, everyone has certain rights they can use when an agent is trying to deport them. We are workers with dignity and we deserve to stay where we are.”

    “The people of Los Angeles and surrounding areas have taken a courageous stand against Trump’s reign of terror targeting immigrant families. In response, the administration has falsely labeled those taking to the streets in protest of the brutal war on immigrants as ‘rioters’ and called in thousands of National Guard soldiers for a crackdown,” PSL said in a long screed on Monday.

    “But the people are not deterred — in Los Angeles and across the country, protest is continuing with even more determination. This could be a turning point where the entire working class unites to push back Trump’s efforts to shred our basic rights and dignity.”

    This paid protestor thing is the same phenomenon as when people on the left refused to believe that so many people would voluntarily attend Trump's rallies.

    Every time there's a protest we start to see the claims that they're being paid yet we never see evidence of that. Why not? It's because there is no shadowy billionaire behind the scenes - it's just that many people in the country hate Trump and what he stands for. I'd bet we see a lot of that this weekend as well opposing the pointless and wasteful Trump birthday/military parade.

    It is all like a giant Tik Tok challenge. Rather than getting people to do stupid things, what can we get people to believe and then do.

    Trump posted on social media he is set to announce a trade 'deal' with the country that is apparently funding civil unrest in our cities. Kinda awkward if you ask me. :)

    Because the most gullible posters on TH posted it from one of the shittiest 'news' sources on the web. He even followed up with "well the facts will come out eventually this week" ... which means even he is skeptical of his source.

    The OP brings balance to the board.
    You may not like the sources he brings but it does show another side and it shines light on where others are coming from.
    I question the hell out of most of the democrats sites used in TH. We gotta have both sides and when libbies own most of the media…

    I'm not even talking about bringing balance. I'm talking about posting stories that are literally fake
