The federal government is taking over the California National Guard and deploying 2,000 soldiers in Los Angeles — not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle. Don't give them one. Never use violence. Speak out peacefully.

The incessant, unnecessarily violent, and largely illegal assaults on neighborhoods, workplaces, and carpool lines all crystallize this Administration's commitment to cause trauma for people of color, not protect them from it—and it's a flat-out disgrace. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/the-weapon...

Watching what is happening in Los Angeles from afar, I have never been more pissed off at the millions of people who simply didn't bother to vote.

NEW: Unbelievable. A seemingly endless line of tanks & other military vehicles arrive in DC ahead of next week's parade. They departed Texas 5 days ago. What a colossal waste of time, money & military resources. All for a President who has shown zero respect for service personnel. (🎥 DW)

kind of just endlessly sad and grieving that there are so few voices in the public sphere making the basic principled argument that immigration is an affirmative good in every way and the best way for this country to serve humanity is to welcome people who want or need to leave their homes

ICE waited until a woman’s lawyer went to the restroom then dragged her away. She fainted from stress and they dragged her unconscious body into the elevator, refusing medical attention.

ICE is the January 6 insurrectionists all over again. Only instead of attacking law enforcement, they are pretending to be law enforcement. And instead of just terrorizing at the Capitol, they are doing it EVERYWHERE.

Lets fix this... Immigrant freedom fighters who came here to make a better life for their families and were just working at their jobs are combatting Trump and ICE's unidentified storm troopers armed with AR15's, full body armor, tanks and racism... with the only weapons they have!

Welcome to America, where protesting illegal kidnappings without due process is an insurrection, but attacking the nation’s Capitol is not.

But why defund schools? To curate failure — to say that public schools are broken and public school teachers are inept all in a push to privatize public schools. To dumb down the populace. To demonize a system that educates over 90% of kids in this state… open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...

I’ve been working on an automatic bobcat watering station that will work when I’m away. I was a bit worried about the hose being scary but apparently it meets with approval.

There it is. Rep. Mike Collins (R-GA) says Republicans’ next goal is to kick seniors off Social Security: “Get off of Social Security. Get back into the workforce.”

As usual, the cruelty is the point. Missouri has lived under the boot of a GOP supermajority for 22 years and they have consistently defunded schools. And now they are planning to close schools for the severely disabled.

Are we clear now a private businessman shouldn’t be in a position to control the space program—that this richest man in the world fueled by drugs, ego & hate shouldn’t be partnering with a malignant sociopath in the WH immunized by the SCOTUS & bent on pocketing billions & flouting the Constitution?

Dont be fooled. Muskrat doesn't give a shit about you. He is not upset about Medicare, medicaid, and SSA. He still wants the tax cuts for the rich. He is upset about the tax credits for electric cars are expiring. Which improves HIS bottom line. He is a narcissist. It's always about HIM.

Just a reminder even though he opposed the bill NOW, AFTER it passed, Elon Musk is not a good guy. He wants MORE cut out of what you need. This is a guy that’s a billionaire for one reason: the US Govt tax breaks and financing
