#Los_Angeles #National_Guard REMEMBER KENT STATE!

After watching the National Guard in LA, I wonder if the tanks are going to leave DC after The Leader's birthday parade. Are we going to see Tiananmen Square repeated on the National Mall? Is there anyone in this country with guts enough to be the one to stand up?

Big point that is being missed: without the insurrection act, the activated Guard troops are now federal army and cannot Do law enforcement. Period

Inflaming and provoking violence and division and threatening to deploy military resources against your own people is not a show of strength — it’s abuse of power and a sign of leadership without a moral compass or regard for the law. We are a democracy. We stand strong. You cannot intimidate us.

The Florida Bar has filed misconduct charges against Attorney General Pam Bondi. She has been in violation of multiple ethics rules since being sworn in.

That would be awful. Don’t share this.

Trump destroys everything he touches.

Sure, let’s dissect the mental and physical acuity of the former president who sought to make lives in America better while minimizing the reality of a deranged arsonist dismantling the country we’ve known and loved. What a failure to meet this moment.

“Trump has traditionally done well with lower-information voters, so it is perhaps not surprising that they are more inclined to support his presidency. …. [These voters] had one thing in common: They were much more likely to get their news from social media.” www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

“Can’t 86 him? 25th him.” — Founding Fathers, probably.

It’s plain for all to see.

We’ve become so desensitized to corruption that the Attorney General who spent years lobbying on behalf of Qatar approved a private jet gift from Qatar and it’s not even in the top 10 scandals of the week.

So let me get this straight: masks are bad and un-American if worn to fight a pandemic, but good if worn by people claiming to be government agents when they kidnap people off the street

Hint for The Leader: Of course you ignorant a**hole, you're required to uphold the Constitution! Try real hard to remember what you said 104 days ago, with your tiny hand on some book!

IT'S VETERANS DAY! Victory Day for WWI and Victory Day for WWII are BS! There are certainly more living veterans from Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan where there was no Victory Day. Fuck Trump🖕 and fuck his birthday parade!🖕

If you think a just-fertilized ovary is entitled to life but are indifferent to what happens to a kidnapped 4-year-old with cancer, sent to a dangerous country without meds, you don’t give a fuck about the lives of children. You are just in a cult that fetishizes being against abortions.

Hannity uses his interview with RFK Jr to desperately try to clean up RFK Jr's cruel and inhumane comments yesterday about autistic kids. RFK Jr then does his best to walk it back too.

Moving all of the Social Security Administration public communications to X, a privately controlled entity, is utter bullshit. Can't Elon's brilliantDOGE computer kiddies create something stunning, that can be run by the agency itself?

If I had donated to every request from great causes and signed up for every substack subscription I found in my email this morning it would have cost around $600. It's getting to the place that turning on the Internet is too expensive.

Just an otter with his stuffed toy, off on an adventure.
