Trump has ordered more troops to Los Angeles and Washington than he currently has stationed in Syria and Iraq combined.
He seems more willing to use the military against Americans than against Iranians.
He celebrates a show of force on U.S. soil even as he denounces “endless wars” outside its borders.

❝Police on horseback charged at the crowd, striking some with wood rods and batons as they cleared the street in front of the federal building. Officers then fired teargas and crowd control projectiles at the large group, sending demonstrators, hotdog vendors and passing pedestrians fleeing through the street. Some have since regrouped, ignoring an LAPD dispersal order.

Europe is exporting military dogs—used as weapons by Israel's elite forces. These dogs have been linked to civilian injuries and deaths, including children and people with disabilities. Doors forced open in the middle of the night, piercing cries for help, fangs sunk mercilessly into the flesh of victims. Children are torn from their mothers' arms, women scream for help, men collapse in agony, while apathetic soldiers just laugh as dogs tear bodies apart indiscriminately.

By beginning with vulnerable groups who have less legal standing and social capital to resist repression,
