Trump’s dictator-like behaviour is so brazen, so blatant, that paradoxically, we discount it. But now it’s time to call it what it is, says Guardian columnist Jonathan Freedland

Today you teach us the art of preparedness.
Not only through military strength, but through societal readiness.

It was never about a real “invasion” or “emergency.”
It was always about getting troops in place to suppress Trump’s critics and advance Trump’s agenda.
Remember how Noem said the troops would “liberate” Californians from their chosen elected leadership.
This is an intimidation attempt.

It’s no coincidence that we stand here today, at the Democracy Center, with Donald Trump's ICE agents standing outside as we speak.
Is this a threat to you, Trump? Are you scared of what happens when the people of this state come together to make our voices heard?

Going to the library fucking rules. You can walk in and pick your favorite things and then walk right out without paying anything. It's unbelievable and 100% the kind of thing that won't exist in the future unless you recognize the goodness now before it's too late
Hey, as a librarian I need to tell you:
Our funding depends on usage.
So go ahead and check out that book even if you don't think you'll finish it. No one will know. Check out that DVD even though you might not like it. Get ambitious in your quest for knowledge.
