Post-apocalyptic dystopian books and movies weren’t supposed to be aspirational.

The big question, then, is “and what if they weren’t?” Is Newsome still Commander-in-Chief of the CA National Guard and can order them to stand down? Does he understand this was always going to come down to a confrontation of authority?

My assumption would be that they receive some training on this issue. But if Newsome is calling it “unlawful” than… there should be some sort of a contingency plan, right? 😬🤷♂️

If it matters, I wasn’t trying to be confrontational. Really trying to understand as well. If he calls it an “unlawful order” it seems he should have the authority to resist it, in some way, as commander in chief of the CA National Guard 🤷♂️ Not just “ask to rescind” it 😒

So then all of those laws and regulations cited are just window dressing?

Why can’t Newsom issue an order saying something like “Do not follow any orders not properly issued through my office. Anyone that has deployed via this illegal order should stand down and go home” ?

America’s military, including the national guard, can and should refuse unconstitutional orders.
May those men and women who fight for the lawless regime face appropriate consequences.

We’ve all seen The Americans and know the KGB is playing the four-generations-long long-game 😜😜🤦♂️

Also: No shit. Everyone has been telling you that, including the judges whose orders you keep appealing — including today.
Vengeful, incompetent, cruel morons.

There were sooooo many people on stage it was impossible to be informative. If they really thought preventing Cuomo was priority #1 (as opposed to raising their own profile for “next time), six of them would drop out and endorse @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social
