I remember my friends even in my country giving me the look for talking about what’s happening in LA right now. I get its so far out of us and may never even happen to us. But to ignore such events is not right and to not even give support its just wrong

Last night, President Trump deployed an additional 2,000 National Guard troops to quash protests in Los Angeles, over the objection of the governor. DHS also reportedly requested more military assistance and has asked the military to arrest people.
Military troops have no place on our streets.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.
