I’m only glad we’re still months away from midterms bc he’d love to use this as pretext to shut down elections 🥺
comment in response to post
I hate this comparison and wish people would stop doing it. The Confederate flag represents evils including actual insurrection. The Mexican flag just represents a place.

Or MAGA (who, let’s face it, crave violence) doing it on their own
comment in response to post
Please provide a link to Trump saying this — doing so will motivate more people, especially skeptical ones who aren’t necessarily Dems
comment in response to post
Yes, let’s get into circular firing squad formation focused on… blaming Dems. This is absolutely what is important in this moment 🙄
comment in response to post
Yes. Otherwise Dems on social media seem determined to get into a self-righteousness circular firing squad focused on… blaming Dems

ARGH! Trump has deployed the military against US citizens on our soil — and Dems can’t resist getting into a circular firing squad to focus on… criticizing other Dems 😤

If the good people of LA hit the freeways like it’s weekday rush hour, the NG arrival could be delayed hours & hours… & hours

This is a great idea! One Thanksgiving it took me 3 hrs just to get from LAX to Covina (normally 45 min). If people made a concerted effort, they could delay NG deployment at least a day.

Trump just deployed the military against US citizens I really don’t think focusing on our irritation w Newsom is the best use of our time right now
comment in response to post
How do you think getting into holier-than-thou, 20-20 hindsight circular firing squad formation helps us at this moment, when Trump has unleashed the military against US citizens?
comment in response to post
He can side with us all he wants, but Trump has the power here.
comment in response to post
Like what? I really don’t see how blaming Democrats helps in this moment. If Trump has invoked the Insurrection Act, the NG is, unfortunately, legally under his control.
comment in response to post
Trump can invoke the Insurrection Act

Not a lawyer, but the ACLU says he can www.aclu.org/news/nationa...
comment in response to post
That’s INCORRECT. Trump can federalize the National Guard & deploy them wherever he wants— Newsom would have no say in the matter. www.aclu.org/news/nationa...
comment in response to post
Your initial post said iNG would be “bc Newsom allowed & condoned it” You could just delete the post and correct it to include “except if Trump federalizes them”
comment in response to post
Newsom doesn’t have to give permission
comment in response to post
That’s not correct. Please don’t spread disinformation www.aclu.org/news/nationa...
comment in response to post
Facts. Thank you.
comment in response to post
Except Trump doesn’t care “how any of this works” — he’ll claim it’s needed bc “insurrection” and worry about the consequences later… and he won’t worry about the consequences for HIMSELF, bc he’s immune

It feels like a powder keg

The truth is that Mikey doesn’t GAF, given his lily White family will never be threatened w an ICE interaction

Because there’s no difference between wearing a mask to protect vulnerable people from a deadly disease… …and wearing a mask to disappear vulnerable people while refusing to identify yourself?
comment in response to post
They admitted he was *mistakenly* deported… But after being forced to return him, suddenly claim he’s a horrific criminal second only to Jeffrey Dahmer Hard to imagine this is anything but Trump/Miller being petulant sore losers
comment in response to post
Sigh
comment in response to post
Is sanctimonious the word I’m looking for here? Come on. It’s been a long, hard 100 yrs since Trump’s reign of destruction & terror began. I think we fucking deserve a little joy.

Me refreshing

darth please let us have this moment
comment in response to post
“No one cares about what these two have done to the common person just trying make ends meet” I care very much, which is why I’m happy to see them trying to destroy each other and hopefully weakening their hold on MAGA voters
comment in response to post
Happy you acknowledge that trans men can have babies!!! BTW no one is arguing that *biological males* can have babies (unless they are among the rare group born w both sets of sex organs).
comment in response to post
It lands differently when non-White folks who come here could be snatched off the street by masked men & disappeared
comment in response to post
Hear me out. Yes he’s a vile, drug-addled racist & all-round creepy weirdo… BUT 1) he’s rich as fuck and 2) his aligning with Dems would cause a CRISIS (😱!!!!) among the MAGA bros who idolize him

If only it was just an luxury jet or a hotel/golf course deal she pocketed
comment in response to post
Great…. but what’s the next step after DOJ inevitably slow walks their response to the extent Trump will be out of office before we see anything? 😒
comment in response to post
It’s a medical fact that some trans men as well as some people born w both sets of sex organs can have babies. One reason to deny that fact might be… fragility about your personal gender identity.
