3 tweets by Brian Schatz Brian Schatz @brianschatz This is not a fucking insurrection and we don’t need the military to be mobilized to as if there is a foreign army marching into an American city. Nobody should pretend they can’t tell the difference between a volatile situation regularly and an invasion. There is literally no reason to have active duty Marines respond to a street protest. Whether or not this takes a terrible turn depends partly on the conduct and the discipline of law enforcement, of community members being peaceful, of media members speaking truth to power, and all of us agreeing that the use of the military for this purpose is the stuff of dictatorships across the planet and throughout history. Don’t kid yourself they know they are absolutely getting cooked politically w their terrible bill and rising prices, and they want to create a violent spectacle to feed their content machine. It’s time for the mainstream media to describe this authoritarian madness accurately.
