Reminded this was the person the head of the Washington DC Metropolitan Police Department intelligence unit was collaborating with directly.

Senator Slotkin asks Army GC nominee about how many "designated terrorist organizations" the US is now supposedly in an armed conflict with and whether he can name them.

Army GC nominee refuses to answer.

Administration refuses to tell American public and Congress who POTUS has declared war on.

Screenshot of headline reading: Texas National Guard arrives in Illinois, as Gov. Pritzker calls for end of Trump administration's 'authoritarian march' Gov. JB Pritzker accused the president of using troops for political gain.

This is what authoritarianism looks like.

One of the more incredible stories out of LA this year has been how a taco review blog became the best on-the-ground coverage of ICE raids in the city.

They do a dispatch every day, follow-up on the kidnapped people (which almost no media outlet has done), and fact-check government claims.

Alt text: A man in camouflage clothing and a face covering sits inside a gray Jeep, pointing a weapon out of the open driver-side window. The gun is aimed directly at the camera. The man wears gloves and a dark cap, and his eyes are visible above the mask. The vehicle’s door and side mirror are wet with raindrops.

ICE is a hostile occupying force that is a danger to everyone.

Easy to laugh at the noisy announcement of undercover operation...but it's not so funny if the point isn't to infiltrate fictional "leftist terror cells" but to frighten and intimidate normal regular Democrats.

Fortunately, it's likely that it's just a campaign press release. But still.

In actual combat — not this fake ass Stephen Miller wet dream — I would have destroyed any of my soldiers doing this to non-combatants. There is no gray area or fine line.

Bless the National Guard! The weekends sometimes catch up with the warriors.

Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.

The admin is an anti-1A regime. They are explicitly opposed to the Constitution.

I dare you to bring Tom Brokaw out of retirement to explain to America the regime has deployed the CA National Guard to put down a threesome of inflatable mascots menacing ICE.

this is my political affiliation now

Israeli drone footage shows the destruction in Gaza:

What consistently boggles my mind about these intra-state Guard deployments is that the numbers never match the claim of urgency. "Portland is burning down" so you are sending... two, maybe three companies?

We must now start calling this what it is: Trump’s Invasion. It started with federal agents, it will soon include deploying federalized members of the Illinois National Guard against our wishes, and it will now involve sending in another state’s military troops.

they’re illegally sending troops from more and more states to occupy my fucking city because a bunch of shitass ICE chumps can’t tolerate a person in an inflatable frog costume legally gyrating at them in front of a single building they lease from us, keep it fucking shut down, fuck these people

the best thing chuck schumer could do for the republic now is to keep getting arrested like brad lander. there's no governing to be done now. theres just forcing these morons' hands

we simply do not have a union anymore if the president is using troops from one state to invade others entirely on the basis of political disagreements

Is ICE just renting their Nissan Rogues at the airport?

He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries. He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance. He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures. He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.

For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world: For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent: For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury: For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:

I’ve been sort of idly keeping track of all the points in the Declaration of Independence’s bill of particulars that arguably apply to the Trump Admin. This is the first four-in-a-row I’ve hit. www.archives.gov/founding-doc...

Intriguing plan that goes well beyond symbolism. "Trucks from the First Nation could soon be transporting food, furniture and even critical minerals south of the border along ancestral pathways once used to move buffalo hides and pemmican across the plains—without paying taxes or tariffs."

a significant reason this is happening is because out of a combination of partisanship and cowardice Congress has essentially abdicated its constitutional role in the republic

if you or someone you know has been impacted by wanting a big ol sandwich, don't come crying to me about it cause i also want a sandwich

Along with the horrific nature of his detention, this is a colossal waste of money:

“Two to four uniformed guards have been continuously stationed in Petitioner's hospital room, monitoring him at all times .. while he sleeps, eats, uses the bathroom.”
