Trump Says He Will Send Troops to Portland as Debate Over Authority Heats Up
When Trump says he will send troops to Portland, emotions in Oregon and beyond have flared. His announcement, made on social media, paints a picture of Portland as “war ravaged” and under siege by “domestic terrorists.” To his supporters, it signals strength and determination. To his critics, it’s an alarming overreach of presidential power. For the people of Portland, it raises a pressing…
Trump to send troops to Portland
Ask your mayor to protect your city from federal troop deployment!
Take Action!
Mar 20, 1965, LBJ sends federal troops to Alabama to protect a civil rights march.
From Armies of the Night to Armies of the State
A Tale of Two Washingtons Photo by Photo By: Kaboompics.com on Pexels.com In 1967, Norman Mailer stood outside the Pentagon, half-participant, half-provocateur, chronicling the anti-war protest that would become The Armies of the Night. He cast himself as both historian and character, capturing the surreal theater of dissent in a city where symbolism and state power collide. Mailer divides the…

A federal judge held a brief hearing over whether the Trump administration should continue its deployment of troops to Los Angeles. U.S.
Definitely will keep an eye on this one.
“wait WHAT is happening in LA??”
tw: military deployment, police violence
okay but can we talk about what’s happening in LA right now because I’M LOSING MY MIND
Trump just deployed 4,700 federal troops to the streets of Los Angeles. Not the border. Not some war zone. Los Angeles. American streets. American neighborhoods.
4,000 National Guard + 700 Marines.
Against peaceful protesters.
In 2025.
In America.
This started because ICE raided workplaces - Fashion District, Home Depot parking lots, construction sites. Places where people go to work and try to survive. They arrested 851+ people and when the community protested, Trump’s response was to send in the military.
I need y’all to understand: This has NEVER happened before. Not like this.
Every other time federal troops were deployed domestically, it was either:
• At the state’s request
• To PROTECT civil rights
• During actual rebellions
California said NO. Governor Newsom explicitly told Trump not to do this. Trump did it anyway.
The last time this happened was 1965 during Selma. But that was to PROTECT protesters from state violence.
This is the OPPOSITE. This is federal troops to SUPPRESS protesters.
Do you see the difference??? Because it’s HUGE.
If you’re thinking “this can’t be real” - Google it. Federal troops are on American streets right now as I’m typing this.
This is not a drill.
This is not normal.
This is happening.

Like before, President Trump introduces the fear card
You could almost see it coming. Desperate to retain the presidency, now Donald Trump has introduced the Fear Card in the 2020 race. Shades of Richard Nixon!
One also wonders if he is influencing enough of the many terrorist groups for them to start agitating so that they can deliberately clash with protesters, to then allow President Trump to “send in the troops,” making him appear as the…
