Notice she's not talking about "criminals" anymore. Now they're onto who they perceive as their enemies, including the people *we* elected. They want to use L.A. to show they can force liberal cities into submission.
Kristi Noem: "We are not going away. We are staying here to liberate the city from the socialists and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country and what they have tried to insert into the city."

It’s important to be clear that TikTok could have stayed up through the inauguration. Joe Biden said he’d not enforce the law.
They made a choice to shut down and display a pro-Trump message. They weren’t forced to.

Is it that these lawmakers REALLY believe these conspiracy theories and genuinely believe they are helping? Are they just looking to distract? I cannot wrap my mind around these people’s motivation to waste everyone’s time.
Florida GOP state Sen. Ileana Garcia amplified a prominent conspiracy theorist and QAnon influencer's post which praised her bill because the “legislation comes amid claims that hurricanes Helene and Milton, which caused massive destruction in Florida, were deliberately manipulated.”

Cash bail is yet another way that society tells us that people with money are morally superior and more trustworthy.
The new system focuses on people who are more likely to flee or pose a threat to others—things that are actually relevant to crime. This is how it should have worked all along.

“The message underlying these appearance criticisms is that female bodies do not belong in the workplace.”
New research finds that women, far more than men, are judged by their appearance in the workplace, and that their appearance is never "quite right." Too hot, too dowdy. Too sloppy, too uptight. Always too something.
