Practically speaking, 2,000 National Guard in an area the size of Greater Los Angeles can't do very much without local agency help. They can lock down a couple neighborhoods. They can stay put and protect some federal facilities. They can't enforce a curfew on 18 million people across 4000 sq miles

Now Hegseth is saying that the active duty Marines at Camp Pendleton are on alert to come in if the National Guard isn’t enough. The U.S. government is ready to unleash our own military on civilians. It is definitely time to be frightened about what is happening here.

Real talk, mom heartbreak: Our son has gorgeous, long hair and there have been tons of people who misgender him over the years, but until today it hasn't bothered him enough to want his hair cut. He told me he wants his hair cut short this weekend. We've always left it up to him. 1/

I was informed today that my kind and generous neighbor Lee passed away. He and his wife have always been very sweet to us and my son. He had suffered a stroke before we moved into the neighborhood that impacted his mobility and speech, but he was active and chatty all the same. 1/
