Why should we allow these Misogynies online to boost bottom lines when they are morally indecent. At some point we need to decide what kind of a society we want. Ethical or permissive. I also object to gambling to fund public institutions. Content should be our choice.

The article stated: "JD Vance is expected to be present and intends to lead the parade. This show of military force and I-5 closures if the plan is completed

Some suggested Trump planned on using the excuse of a military showcase in order to intimidate "No Kings" protesters, citing the administration's attempts to characterize the protests as anti-American.  On Oct. 15, 2025, the Marines posted a statement on their official website announcing

The rumor claimed the administration planned on closing Interstate 5 "to shoot out missiles from ships" and into Camp Pendleton, a training facility for the Marines about 80 miles southeast of Los Angeles. 

Users across archived sites such as Instagram, X, and Facebook shared the claim.

As activists planned another "No Kings" protest on Oct. 18, 2025, to voice discontent with the administration of Republican U.S. President Donald Trump, a rumor spread on social media that the president was planning a "show of force" by launching missiles over California.

New York Times: "Military Plans to Fire Artillery Over California Freeway on Saturday"

This is a profoundly absurd show of force that could put Californians directly in harm's way.

Flying live rounds over a busy highway without coordination between state, federal, and local partners isn't just wrong — it's dangerous.

Nobody is safe who resists, but we have to stand up so we can live with ourselves.

Indiana University administrators tried to minimize distractions this homecoming weekend as the school prepares to celebrate a Hoosiers football team with its highest-ever national ranking.
They eliminated print editions of the student newspaper and fired the faculty adviser who refused an order

People should get more of what they want and need without White interference. The Women are needed to be the oversight for all, while local women govern locally.

How do we do it? Make it easier for people to represent themselves. Let people participate from wherever they are in whatever group they identify with the most. Human geography vs. physical geography. Let each group govern themselves. Whites clearly do not fill needs of those they minimize.

We have 5,339x more people voting but not participating.
Can 535 people in one place adequately represent all our needs with Republicans diluting our votes and billionaires buying access? No. They tilt the table in their favor. Thus, the need for decentralized participatory democracy.

Going forward, do we continue with centralized govt, or decentralize it? Did an analysis of our democracy with Athens in 4th c. BC. Athens had 50,000 adult male citizens at most participating (30% of the total population). We have 266,946,162 people represented, but not participating.

The reason Dems didn't act sooner is because politicians are concerned about themselves. They say not, but they're like Whites when asked if they're concerned about Blacks, Browns, Women, & Native Peoples. They say yes are.
But then when it comes to sharing money with them they say No.

No. This is how Trump treats people. He's not president. He is a psychopathic citizen handed ungodly powers that no president should have had to begin with and which should have been wrenched away from him by congress after Northcom imprisoned him. His hatred makes no distinction between rank.

Now Trump put Northcom under DHS. But because Trump is the aggressor, he should be exempted from the presidency and Northcom should assist Dems in Congress in taking him down. Obviously this did not happen, so your question remains - What are we doing here?

Democrats should have already stopped Trump before it got to this point. After 9/11, GeoWBush established Northcom as part of DOD to deter, prevent, and defeat threats and aggression aimed at the US like Trump, and provide military assistance to non-military authorities (like Congress).
