The National Guard mainly exists for domestic purposes as a compact where Governors agree to help each other in cases of disasters.

It runs on trust and norms of reciprocity.

Having Governors send their troops against the will of the receiving state creates some real long term problems.
Texas is preparing emergency resources for wildfires and floods. The Texas National Guard should be THERE — not in Illinois.

We stand ready to support their return home so they are best positioned for helping Texans respond to any natural disasters.
Abbott activates emergency resources ahead of growing wildfire threat, flood risk in Texas
With expected growing wildfire danger across Texas and the potential for a flood risk this weekend, Gov. Greg Abbott is activating more state emergency response resources Friday.

A large part of the push for AI is as an encompassing propaganda tool so elites can cocoon the populace in bullshit.
“The Trump administration is currently pressuring OpenAI and other AI companies to make their models more conservative-friendly.”

I unironically use my local library a lot. Ebooks, audio books, physical books, the seed exchange, the meeting spaces?? Passport services?? Citizenship and English classes? I grew up in the teen hangout area as a housing insecure youth with a bad parent. Libraries are important, I'm pissed

“Trump and Musk are importing rapists to rape your American daughters” is *true*.

This should be the talking point from now on.
That fact even Ron DeSantis and Dave Portnoy are repulsed by the Trump administration’s effort to free the Tate brothers means this is a useful thing we can exploit to get normal people to turn on the regime.
