It has been three days since Kristi Noem, the head of the department of homeland security, said this in public. If meant literally, it describes the end of democracy in California. If not meant literally, would be nice for that to be clarified and for the troops to leave. bsky.app/profile/just...

This is where MAGA excels- specious framing MAGA: If I had evidence that <insert inane theory> would you look at it? Me: You can't possibly- it doesn't exist MAGA: But if I did would you? Me: This is a logical fallacy MAGA: See- you can't even answer the question! You people ignore the facts!

I know there's a lot going on, but the Secretary of Homeland Security declaring that federal troops are in California and Los Angeles to "liberate" the state and city from its duly-elected leaders really is a fourteen-alarm fire.

Saying LA protestors shouldn't have done _____ because it's only giving the right phot ops or whatever is just another version of "you shouldn't have worn that".

Look, it’s simply an incredible string of coincidences that so many Republican officials turn out to be pedophiles.

The lies the right have shrilly, virulently overwhelmed the media with for decades have proven far more effective for the GOP than dems actually helping American people. Dems thought all reasonable people would see the hate & hypocrisy & reject the GOP but they underestimated the allure of hate.

“LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell has drawn a distinction between protesters and masked "anarchists" who, he said, were bent on exploiting the state of unrest to vandalize property and attack police….”

Add on media using the word "riot" over and over when they are PROTESTS. It's so disappointing. They have failed us so badly.

The choice to escalate to violence has consistently been ICE and LAPD.
