I'm re-upping an old post in light of deployment of troops w/ authorization for "full force" to Portland. Here's Hegseth talking about Portland in his 2024 book, where he elsewhere describes such cities as enemy territory. slowcivilwar.substack.com/p/the-pentag...

The action escalates a campaign to use the U.S. military against Americans that has little modern precedent.

"Vallejo police have a pattern of giving...awards to officers who have used force or been involved in allegations of civil rights violations. A 2021 analysis showed that two-thirds of officers who were involved in incidents that led to settlements and payouts received a promotion or award after."
Jarrett Tonn, the Vallejo police officer who was once fired for killing Sean Monterrosa but won his job back in arbitration, has been promoted to sergeant, the Vallejo Sun has learned.

You are going to see a lot of people who don’t know what they’re talking about sharing opinions like they’re truth today. My advice is to take a break from the back and forth, avoid watching videos, and log off for a bit.
Appears person filmed being arrested is not a suspect and suspect is not in custody. CNN reports that University now says single shot came from a building 200 yards away. Certainly suggests an experienced marksman.

The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.

Gavin Newsom vetoed a data broker privacy bill that our legislature passed last year that would have allowed Californians to opt out of all data brokers with a single click.
The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered.
Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again.
Their inaction is deadly.

Following the 2020 protests, the city enacted a municipal law that prohibits people from carrying a wide range of items during demonstrations. Be mindful of the items you carry every day (such as pepper spray) to a protest. Even if you don't use it, if arrested, they can cite you an extra charge
