Re: talk about the national guard in LA There are two ways the National Guard can be deployed: by the order of the state's governor, or by the President via the invocation of the Insurrection Act. To my knowledge, neither of these things have happened yet, but the latter is certainly possible.

The deployment of federalized National Guard troops to California, without consent from local or state officials, is deeply troubling. These are tactics seen in authoritarian regimes, not in America. We want to be clear, the military should not be used to police civilians.

Please help us. We have people who’ve been hurt just trying to help others. More are out now. Please, record everything. We will hold those accountable who are breaking the law and attacking our communities. Do not provoke.

A friendly reminder that you don’t have to look at everything. It’s OK if you need to turn off your phone, you are not a bad person for not knowing every little detail. You can try to shut it out for a little bit. That is OK. Coping is important cause it is impossible to fight if you are catatonic.

If you are National Guard or Active Duty military and you are being ordered to violate the constitutional rights of US citizens then this is the number to the GI Rights Hotline. There is support. You don’t have to go through with it. 877-447-4487

So California National Guard troops are going to be deployed against their own citizens based on a made up emergency. The news media and local law enforcement need to do their fucking jobs

Your safety is the top priority. Peaceful protesters have already been harmed for doing nothing. The story they’re selling isn’t legit. Please film everything, document everything.

Real talk. "Less Lethal" doesn't mean not lethal. They can still cause life changing injury and permanent disability. If you're on the receiving end of one, see a medic. If you're hit in the trunk/groin area definitely see a medic. If you're hit in the head, go to an ER.

Gotta admit, ICE look like complete paper tigers if 400 unarmed locals can keep them bottled up and needing the Guard to come and save their asses. Puts a very different spin on them compared to their projected image.

ICE agents better start reading up on the Nuremberg trials. Because when we get to the other side of this, and we will, "I was just following orders" ain't gonna cut it.

What I can’t figure out is what Elon’s angle is in bashing the bill. He could care less about our deficit or cutting benefits for poor people and the tax cuts help him so…why is he really bashing this bill? What’s in it that hurts him financially?

I wonder how all those Cubans in Florida who voted for the #TACO are feeling now that he’s banned citizens from Cuba getting any kind of permanent status in the US. #FAFO

"Just one more thing, sir. Since the election, you've announced 12 projects in foreign countries: the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Vietnam, India, Qatar, & Oman. You got a $400 million jet, sold meme coins, $600 sneakers, Chinese bibles, & hats. How is any of this making America great?"

Clearly Elon isn’t as smart as some people seem to think he is because eventually everyone gets fucked by Trump and Elon is about to find out.

The problem with letting a bunch of geriatric old white dudes make all the decisions is that they know they are almost dead so they don’t really care about anything affecting you or your kids. Vote all of them out on both sides.

Rolling Stone: A federal judge wrote a remarkable order excoriating parking lot lawyer Alina Habba, currently acting US AG for Jersey, for ordering the arrest of Newark Mayor Ras Baraka, and then immediately dismissing all charges. Now Baraka has sued her, alleging abuse of process and civil rights.

The connection between brain size and intelligence isn’t especially strong. African grey parrots, for instance, are remarkably smart despite their tiny brains. Meanwhile, plenty of humans voted for Trump while zero parrots voted for him.
