Marine veterans are speaking out against the troop deployment in Los Angeles. Across the country, they’re taking down their American flags that have flown in front of their homes for years. Remember, we have friends everywhere.

This is how you tell the truth:
“You feel tough with your assault rifles and your sticks. You should be standing here with us. You’re on the wrong side of history. You took an oath to the constitution, not the fascist in the White House."

Scripture read at my church today
Woe to those who make unjust laws,
to those who issue oppressive decrees,
2 to deprive the poor of their rights
and withhold justice from the oppressed of my people,
making widows their prey
and robbing the fatherless.
Next verses good too

Trump just said Homan should arrest Gov. Gavin Newsom for opposing the federal militarization of L.A.
This isn’t tough talk—it’s authoritarianism in plain sight.
Arresting elected officials for defying a dictator’s will is how democracy dies.
We must all stand up peacefully & firmly.

George III’s power was limited by a constitution, established laws and conventions and in actuality, Parliament held significant power, controlling the budget & having the right to pass laws, which the King could not unilaterally override.
So… congratulations, America. You’ve out-kinged yourself!
