Please, spread the news, far and wide!!
LA is not under siege. We do NOT need liberating. We have no need for the military.
The Trump administration is exaggerating, and spreading ridiculous LIES so they can justify the use of martial law against a city he hates.

Might the people who came to LA, and started to riot today, after the protests had started peacefully, been agents of MAGA? Just saying maybe, because they always make that claim when they don’t want responsibility for their bad actions.

More US manufacturing jobs have been lost to automation than to globalization.

If manufacturing that left America comes back—already a pretty big if—they won't be hiring tons of people to work on assembly lines, they'll mostly be doing it with robots.

I’m a big man who rides the subway every night because I’m not a terrified hysterical neurotic
Sean Duffy: "The truth is, transit across America is dangerous. And these liberals -- liberal mayors -- they want everybody out of cars and into trains but they made the trains unsafe so nobody really wants to ride them ... even big men don't want to ride the subway at those times of night."

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers.

Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

One thing that is fairly clear at this point is that the entire point of whisking people out of the country with no due process in defiance of a judge's orders to put them into a foreign gulag *was so they could produce fascist content*.

Really feel like I’m losing my mind: government OBVIOUSLY cannot punish an individual law firm for hiring someone it disfavors! It’s ludicrously unconstitutional and I feel like without a day of law school I could argue the case. And yet the best paid lawyers in the country are folding?

Trump signs executive order against law firm Jenner

"We've taken action against a number of law firms that have participated either in the weaponization of government, the weaponization of the legal system for political ends” - this is the definition of weaponization of government.

This is the other side of the story we don’t hear about enough. Because Israel controls the narrative.

One way to understand what’s happening is that Republicans want to do to academia - colleges, universities, science, medical research - what they did to labor.

Please watch. Too many people do not know that this was in the CR that passed yesterday. Why more Democrats don’t shone a light on this I don’t know.
