So, to be clear, Musk has now admitted he funded a man he believes to be a pedophile to be president. And Trump has now admitted that he gave access to high level government secrets to a man he believes to be a big time drug addict. This should be the story on the Sunday shows tomorrow.

Recall a time when someone came to your aid, stood up for you, showed you an unexpected kindness. Hold on to those memories, for they are dear. Strive every day to make someone else feel the way you did in that moment.

Today: Tanks are being moved en masse into DC. Trump is deploying a state national guard over a governor’s objection to police protests. Trump threatened a major donor with “severe consequences” if they support his political opponents. If you’re still wondering what time it is, read this again

ER doctor here! Please seek medical attention (go to the ER) if you are hit in the head with a ballistic. “Less lethal” weapons kill people all the time, in addition to causing permanent disabilities. If you don’t feel safe disclosing that you were protesting just say you were hit in the head, etc

Republicans want to murder their fellow Americans but more than that they want to have their fellow Americans murdered on their behalf. They’re frothing at the mouth for this.

I do find the idea that the President of the US can: Invoke the insurrection Act Federalise the National guard; and Use the national guard in civil law enforcement, And this somehow has no steps or stages where formal processes allow for objections to reviewable decisions to be a bit weird myself.

The fact they chose California as the flash point is also an indicator that they don't think these things through LA has like 4M+ people. Sending every single ICE officer is ~20K, LAPD is 9K, LASD is 10K. Going in at 100:1 manpower – leaving zero bodies for literally anything else – is foolish 1/

the white house thinks brute force is, no pun intended, a trump card. they don’t anticipate pushback and they don’t know how to handle it with anything other than escalation. the issue is that each escalation is itself a gamble. if protesters refuse to back down, you’ve lost face. (1/?)

The Insurrection Act is sweeping. It’s a huge grant of power to the President. It is also very expressly for conditions that do not exist in California. And if you’re hypothetically the governor, you should be saying so.

Of course everyone, including myself, is an instant expert here, but one would have thought senior US journalists who know more about the command and control of US national guard units that an Australian with the ability to read Wikipedia. Or know enough not to opine openly until they had read it.

I don’t want to stomp on any particular accounts, but this idea that USians have that it’s a relief to find out the rest of the world can see how unstable Trump is, is sort of hilarious. The rest of the world saw it well before you did, and WE didn’t elect him twice FFS.

The Trump administration would love to use war-style brutality and violence to attack all protestors. About 35% of the country would cheer it. Remind me why I should feel any community, any common humanity, any need to connect with those people.

This is a recurring thing where the second a former appointee says something mildly critical, Trump goes on a tear about how incompetent & traitorous they are. It never seems to occur to him that he’s announcing he’s unfit for his job.

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
