I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

America has never been broke. It’s just violently anti-poor. Troops in LA cost $134M — the price of 44 million school lunches. But sure, let’s keep pretending the issue is lazy parents and not a government that eats kids for breakfast.

Just so you know, if you see this guy in a video, odds are high that you're about to be told something iffy. Dr. Casagranda is all over social media but his research abilities leave a little to be desired. In short: street sewers were mostly for rain & other liquids, not for serious icky waste.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem called Los Angeles a “city of criminals” and not a city of immigrants. But like its name, Los Angeles is a city of angels. We protect and look out for one another, especially the most vulnerable.

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.

I’m seeing all these debates here about whether violence can be justified in some circumstances. That’s not helpful. It is beside the point. This is a battle over legitimacy and the field of that battle is public opinion. This is a flagrant abuse of power. It is a crisis entirely of the Presidents..
