Before the cops in LA started escalating things for no reason it was funny how my main takeaway was how much people were looking out for each other in really helpful ways. I’ve never seen so many people with carts giving away free water, sunscreen, snacks, and masks to total strangers.

A Democratic Mayor arrested.

A Democratic Congresswoman indicted.

A Democratic Senator tackled and detained.

A Democratic State Representative killed.

A Democratic State Representative in critical condition.

We can all see where this is going.

I don’t know where exactly he thinks he did this at. Sure the hell wasn’t in the Middle East or south-central Asia. They would have killed him.
Wow. Turns out that the Minnesota shooter Vance Boelter was an evangelical Christian who, per his website, "sought out militant Islamists in order to share the gospel and tell them that violence wasn't the answer."

Does this now make him a “militant Christianist?”

One of the smartest decisions the “No Kings” organizers made was not staging a counter-protest of Trump’s parade in DC. He wanted that confrontation.

Instead, millions gathered around the country while Trump’s parade fell far short of attendance goals. It made Trump look small.

A Tennessee woman is studying to be a nurse and works nights cleaning buildings. ICE recently deported her husband, leaving her alone with three kids and another child on the way. She's about to lose her car and home. Would you consider donating to help?

The weight of the vehicles is going to cause over $6 million in damage to Constitution Ave, and don’t get me started on the cleanup costs and the police OT. This is the most expensive public blow job in American history.
We're going to see quite a split screen today:
Millions protesting peacefully in defense of democracy, and a would-be dictator ordering tanks to tear up DC streets to make him feel powerful.
It's obvious what the right side is. Be on it.

So, are we going to impeach the m’f’k’r or nah?
The White House has posted a new executive order authorizing the federalization of the National Guard to support DHS and ICE functions.

The most serious indication is the inclusion of “rebellion against the authority of the Government.” www.whitehouse.gov/presidentia...

The fact they chose California as the flash point is also an indicator that they don't think these things through

LA has like 4M+ people. Sending every single ICE officer is ~20K, LAPD is 9K, LASD is 10K. Going in at 100:1 manpower – leaving zero bodies for literally anything else – is foolish

Not enough personnel to do martial law

The secret of American law enforcement is that most people voluntarily follow most laws most of the time

If that changes for a significant %, things get overstretched very fast
