'Patrimonialism' - is a form of governance in which the ruler governs on the basis of personal loyalties which are derived from patron-client relations, personal allegiances, kin ties and combinations thereof. AKA #Corruption

Barely a 100 ppl. No reason for this. They weren’t hurting the ICE agents. They all stared at each other but only the ICE agents used violence. This is ridiculous. Idk if protesting is legal anymore.

Trump Gestapo invades Los Angeles
comment in response to post
LA authorities are able to access law enforcement assistance at a moment’s notice. We are in close coordination with the city and county, and there is currently no unmet need. The Guard has been admirably serving LA throughout recovery. This is the wrong mission and will erode public trust.

The chaos is continuing. There’s no letting up. One vehicle has left carrying detainees. The one that rammed the civilian barricade. ICE continues to attack the civilians. People are screaming now.

I don’t have when the vehicle came out because it happened so fast. This is the moment after when the crowd realized people had been hit.

That said, this should not be ideological. The evidence from studying public organizations show that politicization reduces capacity and performance. The center-right @niskanencenter.bsky.social wrote a comment that emphasized how managing by fear is also a bad strategy in the private sector.

Another reason to oppose Schedule F (now Schedule Policy/Career) is that we know it will be used ideologically rather than for the stated purpose of performance. @adambonica.bsky.social shows that 90% of recent DOGE layoffs have targeted people working in agencies that serve more liberal goals.

One thing that has changed since the Schedule F policy was originally proposed is that we have seen what it looks like when Trump really politicizes public services. Here are a couple of examples. You can read other comments already made. Mine is here: www.regulations.gov/comment/OPM-...
