NO FASCIST MILITARY WAR ON THE PEOPLE
NO FEDERAL AGENTS SWEEPING UP PROTESTERS
TRUMP/PENCE OUT NOW!
————————————–

This week, in an omi­nous esca­la­tion of fas­cism, the Trump/Pence regime sent fed­er­al troops from mul­ti­ple agen­cies to storm the streets of Port­land, Ore­gon and crush ongo­ing protests.

Dressed in cam­ou­flage with no iden­ti­fy­ing insignia, these agents rolled up in unmarked vans, arrest­ed peo­ple with­out telling them where they were going or why they were being tak­en into cus­tody, deployed tear gas, and shot one non-vio­lent pro­test­er in the face.

Trump has not only threat­ened to “go and take over cities,” his regime is using Port­land as a dress rehearsal for a mil­i­ta­rized fas­cist police state.

This is not polit­i­cal the­ater. It is a dan­ger­ous advance from a regime that has declared their deter­mi­na­tion to crush the oppo­si­tion and ham­mer in their rule by ter­ror and brute force.

Amer­i­ca is at a seri­ous cross­roads. A fierce strug­gle for the future is under­way. Cam­ou­flaged sol­diers that look vir­tu­al­ly indis­tin­guish­able from right-wing mili­tias, free to kid­nap and detain any­one at their will, is a hor­ror that must be stopped now.

Fas­cism has direc­tion and momen­tum. Dis­sent is piece by piece crim­i­nal­ized. The truth is blud­geoned. Group after group is demo­nized and tar­get­ed along a tra­jec­to­ry that leads to real hor­rors. All of this has tak­en dra­mat­ic leaps under the Trump Regime. His­to­ry has shown that fas­cism must be stopped before it becomes too late. If we lose the right to protest – by legal or extrale­gal means – all bets are off.

Trump is not “los­ing an elec­tion.” He is set­ting the stage to declare any out­come oth­er than his vic­to­ry ille­git­i­mate, backed up by a GOP will­ing to rig elec­tions and the vio­lence of the “police, mil­i­tary, and bik­ers for Trump” to attack and sup­press any oppo­si­tion to their pro­gram. Wait­ing for Novem­ber to remove Trump is like wait­ing for rain when a house is on fire.

As Trump unleash­es his secret police, what will you do? Will you accept a fas­cist Amer­i­ca? Will you stand aside hop­ing that pol­i­tics as usu­al will remove a regime that is sub­vert­ing elec­tions and using the mil­i­tary to crush dis­sent? Or will you join us in the streets and stay in the streets to demand Trump Pence Out Now!

Dan­ger­ous regimes all over the world have been dri­ven out by the peo­ple in sus­tained, non-vio­lent protest demand­ing the removal of the regime and refus­ing to go home until their demand is met. To stop an Amer­i­can fas­cism that threat­ens the very future of human­i­ty and the plan­et, the nec­es­sary demand is Trump Pence Out Now! We must not stop until our demand is won.

This night­mare must end.
The Trump/Pence regime must go.
In the name of human­i­ty, we refuse to accept a fas­cist America.
