Pete Hegseth renamed the Department of Defense the Department of War, and has said that the Military's sole mission is "war fighting." Meanwhile, Donald Trump has mused about "the war within" and sent federal troops into even more cities across America, including Portland and Chicago, and threatened to arrest elected officials if they don't cooperate. ICE continues to terrorize immigrants and citizens alike - raiding apartment buildings and acting like a bunch of thugs. And Trump has even threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act (oh the irony!) to bypass the judges who have blocked his misuse of force. They continue to fear monger about crime, carting out classic racists tropes to justify their extreme measures. This is what a fascist authoritarian takeover looks like.A couple months ago, we talked with our friend Matt - a Marine Veteran following the DC military takeover - and things have just gotten worse since then. In fact - we seem to be on a war footing with Venezuela, which could give Trump even more power to silence and purge his domestic enemies. So we thought it would be a good idea to check back in with Matt, who is currently protesting the National Guard deployment in Washington DC to see how we can resist this blatant power grab.Please follow Matt and his comrades who are doing amazing work fighting back against a looming dictatorship. @usmcangryveteran  @Jolly_good_ginger @usarmyoverlord ​
