MARINES. Consider your oath and your honor. Think REAL. HARD. ABOUT. IT. Do not compromise your integrity. Consider your obligations to the Constitution, and to your own understanding of what is right and what is ethical. "Just following orders" is moral cowardice.

Trump wants to send Marines into LA like it’s Fallujah — not a city full of Americans exercising their rights. Authoritarian cosplay from a draft dodger who hides in bunkers when things get real. Stay loud. Stay peaceful. Don’t give this clown his chaos.

As someone who lives in Los Angeles, don’t let social or mainstream media gaslight you into thinking there’s a violent uprising taking place here. The Trump administration is trying to punish this state and this city. He’s also setting a precedent to unleash troops on Democratic cities.

I just got a report that a terminated employee from another agency got their job back after replying to the termination email with their good perf appraisal.
If you are still connected, might as well try. It makes for good documentation if nothing else.
Let me know. So far only this one anecdote.
