BREAKING: Pentagon Considers Military Reaction Force to Deploy to U.S. Cities Trump Pushes Nationwide Military Rapid-Response Force for U.S. Cities

“The force would consist of 600 National Guard troops, split into two battalions of 300 based in Alabama and Arizona, each covering half the country. Troops would be on permanent 24/7 standby, with the first 100 soldiers ready to deploy in 60 minutes, followed by additional waves within hours.”

All social media is toxic and not good for anyone's mental health. Bluesky was different for awhile but now so many rabid people in your comments makes me dread opening the app now. My usage is way down

Statistics show crime has reduced in DC. I've seen several people on TV today stating they don't "feel comfortable" in DC at night. This seems to be a case of perception. Every one of those people that I've seen on TV are white. White people are scared of Black people. It's just that simple.

I don't want to fearmonger but as a born and raised Virginian: if they are successful overturning Obergefell, they will call the Loving ruling into question next. Do not let them.

Mohawk Skywalkers: The History Stephen Miller Whitewashed The Kanien'kéhá:ka Haudenosaunee ironworkers were vital to building Miller's favorite monuments to modern America

Stephen Miller tried to claim only real "Americans" built the Empire State Building, but he left out the true stories of the Indigenous ironworkers who actually did. The Mohawk Skywalkers helped shape America's skylines—and shatter the lie behind Miller’s whitewashed nostalgia.

Let's take back the term "pro-life" and redefine it.

Obergefell v. Hodges made me believe in the whole "arc of history bends towards justice." In the 90s, I didn't think gay marriage would be legalized in my lifetime because homophobia was so deeply ingrained. We would have never gotten here without the decision and now it may be overturned.

On January 6th when the Capitol in DC was violently attacked Donald Trump as President did NOTHING so excuse me if I don't believe Donald Trump is acting in good faith to protect DC
Looks more like Trump wants the military to protect him as a show of his force which he

Not sure why you are personally attacking me when you know nothing of my real life. I hope you sit down and evaluate why you think sitting behind a keyboard and attacking people makes you morally right. Have a wonderful day

for 50 years

But see people think he's just doing this however the police forces in America has been sympathetic to authoritarianism for decades. As we were dying in black and brown communities we tried to sound the alarm nobody listened. Now they are coming for everyone else. I have lived under a police state

Interesting. Does anyone know how this turned out?

How do you have the authority to deploy the national guard today, but you blamed Nancy Pelosi for them not being there on January 6th.

As my people have said for many years if he wants me in chains he will have to kill me first. My freedom will not be surrendered come get it and they better be prepared because I will take some with me

Most days, I deal. I know what this country is. What it's always been. And I feel like my generation was able to let our guard down a little. A tiny bit, as we saw the gains of the Civil/Women's/LGBTQ rights movements, all intersectional.

And then days like Election Day 2016/2024, 1/

call to protest in DC to resist Trump's military occupation

CALL TO ACTION: If you are in the DC area, drop everything you are doing and go join others at 5pm EST in Dupont Circle to protest Trump’s illegal military occupation and efforts to federalize DC police. #3E #freeDC

DC Is the Test Case. America Is the Target.
The Capitol is occupied.
This is eerily similar to an insurrection organized by the same man on January 6th, 2021. The difference? Last time, Trump was armed with civilians; now, he has a police force. 🔗 open.substack.com/pub/demcastu...

With the proper screening process and training of staff they are equipped with the tools to tell the difference between poppy seeds and drugs. So again the poppy seed defense is BS. Anyone dealing with addicts on a daily basis knows this.

I have already responded to this. It has been proven several times the "poppy seed" defense is BS

It's been proven that unless you consume raw poppy seeds which is very unpleasant it doesn't register. Even raw poppy seeds only stay in your system 6 hours. So unless this mother consumed raw poppy seeds or a massive amount of cook poppy seeds she did not test positive from eating a salad

It's always been the point. Control of the masses is easier without education. The sick and poor are also easier to control. Marginalized groups that have been dehumanized are easier to commit human rights violations against because it's less likely people will rise up in defense of them.

This is false reporting. The actual amount of poppy seeds you would need to eat in order to pop a positive on a drug test is more poppy seeds than anyone would ever use in basic cooking applications. People who are addicted to opioids use that excuse for a dirty read

But I was told by everyone on the right that the only person who could deploy the National Guard (or prevent the deployment of the National Guard) was Nancy Pelosi.
