There have been meetings in Iran around breakout for 20 years, and every time Iran has opted against; Israel just assassinated a bunch of the participants in those meetings.

That would be like... naming something after a Confederate general? Unthinkable.

Ok but to be fair that kind of thing only happens like 9 other times including massive dance numbers

Trans servicemembers often get shunted (or seek out) niche roles, lots of intelligence, water treatment, civil affairs, communication, stuff that's not MAGA fantasy fodder but very important for modern operations.

3rd amendment, and no, these poor guys are not being forced into anyone's homes here in our fair city. Honestly, I'd be fine with a squad bunking down in my living room, these guys are getting a raw deal. The CA NG are our neighbors and coworkers, and should never have been deployed like this.

Hey lobs! Did they have showers in Normandy??
(yes, they did, the day after the invasion, because that operation had a plan and objectives)

Rethinking my staunch 3rd Amendment stance, these poor guys. You have to cancel all your barber clients, miss class, forego tips, etc. to go stand in our LA heat in full rattle, and don't even get a pillow.

I wonder, did Miller's allies push this, or his enemies? Kind of a no lies detected situation.

Two very different agencies- LAPD has been pretty good the last few days, all things considered? What would you have had them do differently?

Makes you wonder which faction pushed it be exploited, the technos or the weirdos, Miller's enemies, or his allies?

Ok. They can wish all they want, but we still live in a nation of laws. I spent the morning at a protest, we should all be doing our part to hang on to it.

Hear they are also at the Metropolitan Detention Center (federal prison system) in DTLA, where the peaceful protest/congressional visits happened Friday. LAPD issued a press release saying those were peaceful. Great optics, everyone stay out of their way and enjoy brunch.

At a VA Hospital loading dock, of like to point out. They are staying on Federal property.

Ok sure, just saying we don't need to kowtow, or obey in advance, or lose hope just because they want it to be one way. It most definitely is not that way, we have a voice, we have a choice.

That's also what it means to the courts for over a century, respectfully. I get that these guys want it mean something else, but that doesn't make it so.
I'm not sure how many National Guard you know, but these guys are my neighbors and coworkers, not brownshirts.

Understood. Was my position unclear? It's not a magic wand that lets them do whatever they want.

Insurrection act means only that US military can assist in enforcing existing laws- the Constitution is still in effect. You also might find that the average soldier or airman is less into cracking heads than the average cop, and for sure the average Guardsman.

Puro gabacho here, taking my daughter down to Mariachi Plaza today for brunch and some protest.

Because it didn't happen. Title 10 was invoked, federalizing 2000 of the Guard, but don't be surprised when it amounts to very little.
comment in response to
post
It was Title 10, not the insurrection act. It's all smoke and mirrors, the Guard was mobilized only to protect ICE Agents, and don't be surprised if they aren't that into it.

SoCal all my life, studied and worked with Guard all my adult life, take a quick look at any roster or nametape, in LA most names end with S, Z, or A. These are mostly working class people honorably serving and/or getting on the GI Bill. They are our coworkers and neighbors, not brownshirts.

The potential for a bad actor with a few firecrackers is mind boggling. Police escalation of this is not in the public interest, bad for the officers assisting the agents, and totally not worth it even if you completely supported these goals. Dumb and dangerous.

I deleted every tweet and haven't been back, but this is occasionally useful.
