If only there was video covering this. Oh, wait. There is. Several Someone's pants are on fire, unless DHS and ICE literally don't know what their officers were doing. Maybe something like, I don't know, IDENTIFICATION would help resolve some of these problems.

It's not like things can't get worse for us at the CDC. Just wait a day or two because we might see new guidance about leeches and bloodletting--you know clearing out the system of bad humors. 🤦

So Hogsbreath basically claims, whichever reason might stick is the rationale behind sending in the Guard and Marines. What PARTICULAR nation is invading LA? If they claim Mexico, do other immigrants get a pass, as they're not part of the "invading" force?

A potentially unfortunate day to protest. The Administration may close the southern border tomorrow, or worse
1/2: We have reason to believe that events on 4/19 and/or the 50501 Movement may be misrepresented by the Trump admin in an attempt to justify the use of military force.
Let us be clear: our movement is pro-democracy and firmly grounded in non-violence.

It's a mistake, but we're sticking to it. Is there a lack of communication in the Administration, or is this mere posturing for momentary appeasement hoping people will move on?
