It can be a good thing if it's done long before the midterms, so that the chaos is over before the election.

The Oregon National Guard general says if they were to be deployed, they would be instructed under his leadership to protect the protesters and not ICE

Thank you for focusing on the good things, it's needed these days. Is there any other democratic states that is following Newsoms lead to push back on Trump?

If the legal system stil hold and the popular protesting get more widespread, democracy is still an option.

In Georgia, they have kept demonstrating for 315 days.

Can Ttump appeal, and does SCOTUS have authority to overrule the states when it comes to security decisions regarding the states?

Without greater urgency from the UK and allies, we will soon mark the death of Georgia’s democracy Amidst a growing clampdown against civil society and 300 days of protests on Tbilisi's streets, Western hesitation is emboldening Georgia's slide into authoritarianism

“Given the current pace of action from the UK, and seeming indifference from a distracted US, Georgia’s slow and crushing descent into authoritarianism remains unchallenged by its supposed allies.

The law works slow, but you have time to regulate his use of troops before Mid Terms.

Stand back and stand by.

🔥 A military drone factory in #Moscow is burning as I speak. Dozens of Russian regions — including their capital — are now a war zone.
💥 #Putin and millions who wanted this war have finally brought it home.
🚀 Ukraine hits oil refineries, arsenals & drone plants — strategy of victory.

Det høres raskt ut, men det skjedde noe med Trumps holding til Ukraina etter hans møte med Zelenskii på FN møtet. Trump må ha blitt vist en svakhet hos Putin. Så noe kan være i gjære.

Med så høye forsvarsutgifter og Ukraina sine effektive anslag mot oljeinstallasjoner kan på sikt bety nokså nær fremtid.

This is a lie, he is too demented.

This means he cannot overrule the judges decision directly and continue sending troops to Portland. The legal system still works.

🇬🇪| On October 4, Georgian Dream held local elections boycotted by almost all opposition parties. Only two, who were originally part of the protest movement, decided to still participate even though polls showed that the majority of the protest electorate opposed it. 1/

🗳️ The lowest voter turnout in Georgia’s municipal election history. The regime wanted a referendum on its legitimacy?
The people have spoken - with silence.

BREAKING: A federal judge has temporarily blocked Trump from deploying the National Guard in Portland, ruling he overstepped his authority and violated state sovereignty. The court said Trump’s move lacked any “colorable basis” and was not justified by conditions on the ground.

Trump hates to be the object of humor. He understands that humor can be a more powerful antidote to tyranny than any other form of criticism.

I'm sure he'd hate it if you shared this cartoon. [Cartoon by Jon Adams/The New Yorker]

He fought the law and law won.

On point!✊💯

Probably the military leaders who had to attend the meeting with Hegseth and Trump was embarrased and shocked be what they heard. I wouldn't bet on them taking side with these incompetent fools.
