Y’all. Just an FYI. I haven’t been online or following the protests much today. I just want you to know that my very liberal, very pro-immigrant Mom is watching “CBS News 24/7” and is SIDING WITH THE COPS. I’m not watching it, but I can only guess the mainstream media spin is INSANE.

Be careful, friends, when you read accounts of what is happening in LA. We will hear a lot about violence, and it is essential to remember who is defining that term.

Alright, at this point I’m pretty sure about this: The federal government legally cannot take over the national guard and tell it to do stuff without involving this man in some way, and he should explain whether that has happened or not. Stop telling protestors to do and tell us what you’re doing.

Guardsmen take an oath to obey orders of the President of the United States, 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗹𝗮𝘄 and 𝗿𝗲𝗴𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀. Their oath to support & defend the Constitution obligates them to disobey illegal orders based on unfounded invocations of presidential powers.

The guard in LA could be the start of a fascist power grab, yes. It could also be a massive overplaying of a bad hand by a president who had the worst week of his term, and an immigration czar who was publicly humiliated and is desperate to goose his numbers. We don't know yet.

Kristi Noem in Feb 2024: If Biden federalizes the National Guard [to handle border issues], we’ve got a war on our hands.”l Kristi Noem in 2025 as DHS Secretary: …federalizing the National Guard.

Paramount, CA is putting out a call for environmental engineers to collect and preserve air, soil, and water samples from the tear-gassed areas for examination and documentation.

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.

Both reporters have checked in, but are currently covered in CS gas. Currently reviewing footage, @acatwithnews.bsky.social thinks it may have been a tear gas canister that he took to the forehead

Since the useless and complicit msm in America is largely ignoring this, thank you BBC.
