‼️ This is absolutely absurd. Trump is actively manufacturing a crisis. The Pentagon just announced that he’s federalizing another 2,000 California National Guard troops bringing the total to 4,000, plus 700 active-duty Marines heading into LA. This is a military occupation, not public safety.

Worth remembering that Pete Hegseth’s National Guard unit did not trust him to serve in DC post Jan. 6th. His own unit commanders who knew him best.

Deploying the military on U.S. soil against Americans was on page 555 of Project 2025.
This was always their plan, and people voted for it anyway.
America failed an open book test.

Newsom says the National Guard troops are bored and having nothing to do. So, give them something to do.
Surely the City of Los Angeles has toilets to clean, graffiti to remove, and other important jobs this government labor can be doing.
Let’s not pay people to just stand around!

Hey, while we're talking about erasing history:
In 1949 the US military held its first Aeriel Gunnery Competition, later known as "Top Gun."
The best of the best competed in dogfighting and other skills. The team that won, was the 332nd: The Tuskegee airmen.
So they refused to announce a winner🤡

First Light image with my new Seestar S50 taken last night. Glad I ddid it right away, as we are now looking at about a week of rain! 20 minutes of 10 second exposures stacked. Fairly light-polluted suburban backyard. Cheers!
