MEMPHIS — “WE SAY NO! We didn’t wake up with this problem, it was systematically created (by Lee, Trump, etc.)”
Rep. @justinjpearson.bsky.social calls out “some in positions of power bending a knee and kissing the ring” as Trump & Lee send the military — after decades of underinvestment.

Trying to demonstrate the military’s “freedom of maneuver” INSIDE a US city is about as dystopian as you can get. “Freedom to maneuver” is the type of thing we practice in, say, disputed Chinese waters.
Military documents confirm that the LA operation today was a “show of presence” intended to send a message to LA residents about the power of the federal government.

Is trump performing in blackface at the NATO summit? He needs to be arrested by The Hague for war crimes, certainly, but can we charge him for this too?

Happy 250th birthday to U.S. Army! 🇺🇸
The brave men and women of our Army are the real heroes we should be celebrating. Not a wannabe king who throws himself a $40 million birthday parade.
