democracy is under assault

This is not an insurrection.

Trump's actions put democracy 'under assault,'

Come after me. Arrest me. Let’s just get it over with, tough guy.

At no point in the past three days has there been a rebellion or an insurrection.

We pay over $80 BILLION more in taxes than we get back. Maybe it’s time to cut that off, @realdonaldtrump.

a federal mobilization an act of overkill for demonstrations that didn’t draw a turnout above three figures

blatant abuse of power

We didn't have a problem until Trump got involved.

a fitting threat given the @GOP want[s] to bring our country back to the 18th Century.

This is not the way a civilized country behaves. It is completely deranged behavior.

This move was purposefully inflammatory and will only escalate tensions.

Donald Trump is a stone cold liar.

We begged the president of the United States to send in the National Guard. He would not do it.

The deployment of the Marines from Twentynine Palms is an intensely risky move.

They want a spectacle. They want the violence.

The level of escalation is completely unwarranted, uncalled for, and unprecedented.
