Honestly, between Trump saying he wants to “liberate” LA and the Bethany fire in the Verdugo mountains growing to the point that there are now evac zones in Burbank, it’s really hard not to feel like the end of the world is nigh here.

I regret and apologize for any times that I may have thought that the military would stand up to him.

Fuck white supremacy. On a side note, I wear baseball caps all the time, and he always just looks like an idiot wearing those big trucker hats with an ill-fitting suit and the slathered orange makeup.

Don’t forget, just FIND a nearby protest. DO NOT give these sites your personal info, as they’re likely to be scrubbed. Just go protest.

Not to dogpile, but everything Musk has been a part of has always been mainly future aesthetics with no care about future functionality. It’s like buying flashy tire rims at Walmart but finding out that they severely damage your tires, on a massive scale.

Newsom's term-limited and is out next year no matter what. I'm still amazed how ignorant these people are.

Something that hit me earlier, I still occasionally check Facebook because some friends haven't moved over to here or Bluesky, and someone I know posted the photos of the National Guard in the landing docks, and got a very long response from one of their high school friends/1

Social media gives us the opportunity to assemble for protest like no other time in human history, but it also gives boot lickers & disinformation merchants a platform to gum up the works with endless debate over the “right” and “wrong” tactics to the point ppl just throw their hands in the air.

I already was thinking that they were deliberately escalating to play-act at military operations, and inflammatory crap like this continues to feed into that. I am just, want this to stop.

Martial law without a legal declaration. Just grab Marines and do what you want with them. This is why Trump appointed Hegseth.

The use of active duty military for law enforcement is *ILLEGAL*. This is not a fued, it is subversion by the felon in the White House.

I feel like maybe the framing of Trump sending the military to put down protests as a "feud" between Trump and Newsom is a little weird?

Wow. RFK announced via a Wall Street Journal opinion piece that he is removing all 17 members of the Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices, which is the expert panel at the CDC that decides who is eligible for vaccines and whether insurers should cover them.

From my old colleagues at Spectrum News, the Trump administration will deploy 500 Marines from Camp Pendleton to Los Angeles “in light of increased threats against federal officers and federal buildings.”

A few days ago, Musk called for Trump to be impeached and suggested he was involved in pedophilia. Then Trump threatened to terminate Musk's federal contracts. Now Musk is back to promoting Trump.

Escalating to escalate. "Roughly 500 Marines based out of the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center in California have been mobilized ... and will join the National Guard troops that were activated ... over the weekend without the consent of California’s governor or the city’s mayor."

Authenticity is a massively underrated part of political messaging. For all my issues with politicians like MGP, she comes across as pretty earnest when she speaks. Rando dems trying to be perfectly triangulation centrists just look like weird assholes.

One thing that I haven't seen said in the last 24 hours is that the Democratic Party had an opportunity, as an institution, to help shape, foster, and direct the grassroots popular uprising against Trump II. They made a conscious decision not to.
