I will never not be amazed how comfortable liberals are shitting on veterans. It’s remarkable how every time I post about veterans stepping up my timeline is filled with the shittiest people imaginable thinking they are the good guys.

Welcome to America's Reichstag Fire.

If you need to disable a vehicle, remember: the valve stem on the tire is accessible, not protected, and easy to pull. There are YouTube videos. And it doesn’t require carrying anything that can be described as a weapon. Just a pair of pliers.

We're cool - sometimes people get upset. It's Saturday, let's extend some consideration to everyone, folks

this is how the trump administration game-planned this from the beginning military and law enforcement officers and officials at every level are going to have to take a stand will you protect the constitution and preserve democracy in this country or will you side with a fascist presidency

#Republican lawmakers are dangling a sword over thousands of #VA workers. #GOP lawmakers are discovering there's such a thing as asking too much of America's #veterans.

Statement from Gavin Newsom: ā€œThe federal government is taking over the California National Guard and deploying 2,000 soldiers in Los Angeles — not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle. Don't give them one. Never use violence. Speak out peacefully.ā€

Never forget that the same man who called the January 6th insurrection a ā€œbeautiful day of loveā€ and refused to lift a finger for 187 minutes to stop the horror unleashed on our Capitol has deployed the National Guard to intervene in Los Angeles to ā€œaddress the lawlessness in California.ā€

"my brothers you think you're doing the right thing," one demonstrator says to police "you're not.

During the George Floyd protests, Trump ordered multiple governors to deploy their national guard to DC. Four governors successfully declined.

The federal government is taking over the California National Guard and deploying 2,000 soldiers in Los Angeles — not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle. Don't give them one. Never use violence. Speak out peacefully.

ICE is a much greater threat to this country than illegal immigrants. The current administration ia by far the greatest threat this country faces. The problem is not st our borders. It is in the White House.

Miller should insist platoons of Guard members sleep in random LA people’s homes this evening, just to see if the Supreme Court would 6-3 or 5-4 its way to overturning the third amendment. Real opportunity for truly original Originalist hijinks.

Not sleeping through elections is the best start

āš ļø Trump took extraordinary action on Saturday by deploying 2,000 National Guard troops to quell immigration protesters in California, making rare use of federal powers and bypassing the authority of the state’s governor, Gavin Newsom.

1/ If accurate, this is almost certainly a conflict with the Posse Comitatus Act, which prohibits the use of the military for domestic law enforcement, including the National Guard if they are federalized.

Still LA, ICE is gathered again to start another operation after tear gassing civilians for hours at Paramount. A massive ICE presence stands across the street from civilians. This is live right now.

We're no longer the leader of the free world. We're no longer a beacon of democracy and justice. We're no longer the land of opportunity. We're no longer a nation in which no one is above the law. Our myths about ourselves are killing us. What to do? davidrothkopf.substack.com/p/we-are-not...

What's happening tonight is anything but law and order. Don't be deceived.

😠

What happened to states’ rights, Kristi?

🚨BREAKING: The Trump administration is calling in the #California #National #Guard in response to protests in #LosAngeles over #immigration operations that have resulted in some clashes between demonstrators and authorities.

Just thinking about how Stephen Miller is the motivating force behind what's happening in Paramount today, and probably the demand to take over California's national guard, and that he grew up in Southern California and apparently is still angry and carrying grudges because he was so despised here.

Just because you feel the effects of dehydration is no reason to slow down your run to a measly walk.

If ICE agents have families who haven’t convinced them to get out of the child snatching profession, then they can get bent too.

If the president gives unlawful orders, it’s the responsibility of military officers to refuse those orders. It’s imperative the movement maintains non-violent discipline so the military will side with the constitution and the people. We can win if we stand together.

Elon is calling Chicken Donald a pedo again today, MAGA men are defending Chicken Donald by admitting to raping teenagers in college, and DOGE staffers are getting fired amidst the fallout. Have a great weekend!

The Israeli military says it has killed the leader of a Palestinian militant group that took part in the October 7 attack. Asaad Abu Sharia, who led the Palestinian Mujahideen Movement and its armed wing the Mujahideen Brigades, was killed in a joint operation with Israel’s Shin Bet security agency.

Trump deploys the National Guard after second day of Los Angeles immigration protests:

Kristi Noem in Feb 2024: If Biden federalizes the National Guard [to handle border issues], we’ve got a war on our hands.ā€l Kristi Noem in 2025 as DHS Secretary: …federalizing the National Guard.
