It’s time for soft secession How blue states can use their economic clout to stand up to Trump’s agenda—starting with California.

"Soft secession, powered by the presidential ambitions of multiple blue-state governors, could, should it come to that, be the proving ground of a new confederacy.

Hopefully the threat of CalExit or a new Union will be enough.”

The latest from @clarajeffery.bsky.social:

"Protect your loved ones & coworkers this season, get your vaccinations!"-Dr. Bruno. Vaccines are the safest, most effective way to prevent the spread of COVID-19 & the flu. COVID-19 hasn’t gone away. Check your pharmacy, call your doctor or look for a vaccine clinic near you!

At this point, sounds like it’s time for a complete and total shutdown of the US government. Just end it, totally. Stop playing games and call their bluff. They aren’t doing anything for the people anymore anyway.

MEMORANDUM OF LAW I. INTRODUCTION Yesterday, this Court recognized that the legal principles at stake in this case “go[] to the heart of what it means to live under the rule of law in the United States.” Opinion & Order Granting Mot. for Temporary Restraining Order (“Order”), ECF 56 at 2. Applying those principles, this Court concluded that Defendants likely lacked authority to federalize Oregon National Guard members and ordered Defendants to halt federalization for 14 days. Defendants filed a notice of appeal last night (Ntc. of Appeal, ECF 57), and they have now asked the Ninth Circuit to stay the effect of this Court’s decision. Not content with this Court’s or the Ninth Circuit’s judgment, Defendants are now in the process of circumventing this Court's Order. After this Court ruled that 10 U.S.C. § 12406 could not justify federalizing the Oregon National Guard to deploy them to Portland, Defendants have deployed members of the California National Guard to Portland—servicemembers who were federalized under that very same Title 10 authority for deployment in Los Angeles. That redeployment is illegal: Setting aside whether the underlying federalization order from August violated Section 12406, the federalization order clearly did not contemplate the use of California

NEW: California joins Oregon and Portland in asking Judge Immergut for a SECOND temporary restraining order blocking the Trump admin from "circumventing this Court's Order" by deploying the federalized California National Guard to Portland. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

BREAKING NEWS: Oregon, California, and Portland have taken legal action to block the unlawful deployment of California National Guard troops to Oregon.

Hey “Don’t Tread on Me” peeps, time to step up! This is your moment. #amirite #2a #gadsen

Why is this psychopath running our government?

Waking up to some careless parachute journalism from the NYT. Really frustrating that @kellen.bsky.social chooses to write that "some top filers" have left Portland due to the Preschool for All tax but neglects to mention that the number of overall filers went up by many thousands in that period.+

Portland is my home—I was born and raised here. It is not a war zone and it’s being attacked because it is a city that treats people—all people—with dignity.

We Need to Talk About Soft Secession Is it legal? Is it possible? And can we afford to wait and find out?

Soft secession means states quietly disentangling from federal overreach: ignoring mandates, blocking intrusive agencies, and deciding their own future. Local choice > distant bureaucracy. cmarmitage.substack.com/p/we-need-to...

Instead of a one-size-fits-all model, states can innovate. Citizens can vote with their feet - - choosing communities that reflect their values, priorities, and freedoms. Real diversity of governance.

Oregon’s National Guard lawsuit hinges on Trump’s Truth Social posts “The president thinks it’s World War II out here.”

went to a hearing and it was weird as shit www.theverge.com/policy/79204...

this is wild: while Stephen Miller's guy was in Minnesota for his uncle's funeral, somebody was able to see his entire phone and take pictures of his Signal group chats talking about military deployments to Portland, and brought them to the Strib (gift link: www.startribune.com/trump-offici...)

“Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power.” - Benito Mussolini

Fight fascism with your pocketbook: buy local whenever possible.

Not just an attack on academic freedom and democracy, but on science and knowledge creation, too. The end of the system where experts even nominally decide on research funding and priorities, replaced with a loyalty oath.

Just marry me!

Now you should say something nice.

We need to stop thinking of “Right versus Left” and instead focus on the actual divide of “Wealthy Class versus All the Rest of Us”

Big dumper reporting from Portland!

Bot

You are a paid Musk bot.

Sure thing.

I was just at my local game store and heard they are going to start testing for Tylenol doping at Magic tournaments.

This is a reminder to all fellow leftist agitators to turn in your reimbursement slips to Soros Foundation if you expect to paid!

Have they? Looks like a bunch of crashes and continued delays and more a way for Musk to line his bank account with public money.
