At Our Revolution, we stand firm against President Trump’s alarming deployment of National Guard troops in Los Angeles and his threats of broader military crackdowns across the nation. These actions are not about public safety—they are a blatant abuse of power meant to intimidate, inflame, and silence dissent. The line between civilian and military rule is sacred in a democracy, and we must defend it at all costs.
This Is Authoritarianism, Not Safety
Trump’s use of combat-trained troops to confront peaceful protesters is not about protecting communities—it’s about flexing authoritarian control. The military is not equipped for crowd control or de-escalation, and weaponizing it to score political points is a hallmark of tyranny. This is a deliberate attempt to intimidate Americans exercising their constitutional rights, not a step toward restoring order.
The Constitution Is Under Attack
By deploying troops against Americans—over the objections of local leaders—Trump is trampling on the constitutional right to peaceful protest. These military crackdowns are a dangerous escalation designed to silence dissent and erode the foundations of our democracy. We cannot allow this assault on our freedoms to go unchecked.
Congress Must Act Now
Our elected officials have a duty to stop this authoritarian overreach. Congress must use every tool at its disposal—funding blocks, hearings, and legislative limits—to halt these dangerous deployments. This is not a time for silence or half-measures. The future of our democracy hangs in the balance.
