MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful."
Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd.
Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

No Kings, No Gods, No Guard: Dispatches from a Nation Under Siege
Trump sends in troops. RFK Jr. purges science. Protesters face rubber bullets. And through it all, the air thickens with smoke, with fear, and with fascism.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.”
They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

In a shocking turn of events, many of the people who said they wanted "free speech" actually just wanted to be the ones in charge of which speech is free.
UPDATE—Mahmoud's attorney says they do NOT know where he is.
They were first told he was sent to an ICE facility in Elizabeth, NJ. But when his 8-month-pregnant wife tried to visit him, she was told he's not there.
They've received reports he may be sent as far away as Louisiana.

I second this book recommendation. (Note: correct title is "A People's History of the United States".)
If you are looking to do your part in saving democracy, I highly recommend you buy and read ONE book:
Howard Zinn’s a People’s History of America.
It’s a MUST read. It’s not for the faint of heart, but we are at war for the soul of this nation & you have to be hardened to face the fight
READ IT!

Gregg is a former Marine and Forest Service ranger. He's saved the lives of hikers dangling off a cliff or going through cardiac arrest, and he's bravely fought forest fires to save small rural towns.
100% of his salary is paid by WA state.
Elon fired him. Share his story.

So the President not only fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. He also fired the top JAGs at the Army, Navy and Air Force. Those are the lead people who determine what is a legal order and what is not. So if you're planning to do things that are illegal they're the most obvious obstacle.

Egg prices hit record highs this week.
Much of the increase is the result of egg shortages brought on by avian flu.
How has Trump responded? By ordering public health agencies to cease communications with the public.
His presidency is a threat to our health and our wallets.
