The president is using the military to dismantle cities that didn't vote for him
The president is using the military to distract from women speaking out against his and Jeffrey Epstein's sexual abuses.

Trump wasn't seen yesterday by the White House press pool. He wasn't seen today. He has no public events scheduled this weekend. Trump hasn't been seen in public since Weds, and it's unclear if he'll be seen in public until Tues.
That's pretty damn weird.

🇺🇦 Ukraine's 5 demands for an end to the war:
1. Durable ceasefire before any territorial talks – No concessions on borders; no withdrawal from Donbas.
2. Security guarantees – Path to NATO/EU, sustained Western military aid, no forced demilitarization.

This resulted in 8 Trump associates being convicted of crimes
The Senate Intelligence Committee-led by Marco Rubio-noted extensive connections between Trump and Russia

I don't know who needs to hear this, but whenever you fire HUNDREDS of people from a life-saving service, you can't expect it to function as well.
And whoever fires all those people without a plan is a fucking moron. Stop saying "nobody could've seen this coming," when WE ALL FUCKING WARNED YOU.

The missing piece of this viral post is that the Texas officials are lying and deflecting blame. The NWS, hobbled as it is, issued an accurate flood watch for Kerr County the evening before and accurate escalating warnings overnight as the flood was developing.
After media reports & experts warned for months that drastic & sudden cuts at the Nat Weather Service by Trump could impair their forecasting ability & endanger lives during the storm season, TX officials blame an inaccurate forecast by NWS for the deadly results of the flood.

If someone shows up with no badge, no name, no ID, no warrant, and their fucking face covered that’s not law enforcement, that’s a goddamn kidnapping. It should be illegal, and the fact that it isn’t already is a terrifying failure of democracy and the law.

This decision is bad enough on the merits. But it also gives the government relief in a case in which it defied the district court at least *twice.* That’s quite a message to send to the government with respect to the costs of its litigation behavior in other cases—or the complete lack thereof.

Once again I am calling for Democrats to introduce legislation requiring standardized uniforms, visible badge numbers with names, as well as a requirement for ICE and DHS agents to present proof that there is enough danger present to be masked to a judge when they get their warrant.
It really needs to be pointed out. As someone who has been to actions up to and inculdiong the uprising here in 2020 I have never seen every officer wearing fake name badges all with the name “the others” instead of their actual names.
