I know there's a lot going on, but the Secretary of Homeland Security declaring that federal troops are in California and Los Angeles to "liberate" the state and city from its duly-elected leaders really is a fourteen-alarm fire.

Yep. The real concern is gear designed "to mitigate law enforcement measures.” They want to be able to hurt you and for you not to have a way to prevent them hurting you. This particular *concern* goes back many years, before Ferguson even.

It has happened here before, and this looks like that. I am literally about to give a talk about the violent takeover of democratic governance in the Reconstructed South, and this looks like that. It is not the same, but if you do not see it at all, you are not looking.

Share this with people you know. How they react to it will tell you a lot that you need to remember.

Are we really fucking doing this. Had nothing happened to Senator Padilla at all, what she was describing is a federal takeover of a major city by military force with no specified end-date, with no legal authority. Do not let the fascists talk their way out of that.
