Right now—today—spontaneous protests have occurred in every major city & many smaller ones—even in red states. More protests are planned for tomorrow. The soldiers & Guard he’s deployed in California aren’t even operational with nowhere to stay, no food, shower provisions, etc. trump is going to have to send soldiers all over the country—and wait until Saturday. Our governor, Newsom, is truly angry & showing more courage we’ve seen from him in a good while.
Yeah, Karen Bass is trying to impose a curfew, probably at Trump's order. This is the type of push that makes someone like me travel to LA to partake in civil disobedience. If Trump tries to institute martial law in the United States, he's going to fail. Letting Klipp's FBI agent know, push comes to shove, I will exercise my Constitutional rights.
That's what I'm counting on. If I do go to LA, just know I'm one of the good guys. I swore to uphold and protect the Constitution from threats foreign and domestic once upon a time. That includes a power mad president.
Liberals constantly think that there's some magic institution that will "save democracy"
First it was federal employees (remember that anonymous op-ed during the first Trump administration that said they'd slow walk everything?)
Then it was Mueller (lmao) the courts (lmao), Gorsuch (lmao), then state AGs (lmao), then it was the military (who Milley ordered to beat up protestors so Trump could take a photo op at a church).
Liberals just don't get it. Maybe read the Jakarta Method and realize that nobody is going to come and save you.
The left already knows this, but these dumb liberals just don't get it.
Ken, you are good! I'm a subscriber but I feel the need to make an extra contribution. I don't get the WAPO or the NYT and today I was wondering how things were going in LA...and here comes your emailed post.
When I see troops deployed among civilians in America, I can't forget the images from Kent State. Trump is such a belligerent cuss, the President of Punishment, that I think he would welcome heads being busted, particularly in CA.
The Congress MUST be taken away from him at the midterm elections. If Americans are willing to put up with all that he has done while enriching himself then the rule of law is history. Ben Franklin would be alarmed as we are not keeping the republic as he hoped we would.
Darn it, I don't see where I can make a one time donation...
Four dead in Ohio…plus ca change, plus c’est le meme chose. The French riot over gas prices, we can’t stage a decent one that doesn’t involve Queers for Palestine. Just sayin…
I really appreciate the details and exposure of what actually happened. It keeps our brains on track of the truths and should be used in strategizing. Thanks, Ken!
Solidarity with the federal postal workers delivering the mail that face tougher scenarios than the troops in LA that happen to be visiting a mostly peaceful protest.

Karen Bass...doing what Dems do: capitulating. Dems having no clue about how power and leverage is used is a feature, not a bug.
Am I wrong in thinking that Karen Bass could show courage by instructing her police force to protect the protesters instead of ICE?

Hey thanks man!
Four dead in Ohio…plus ca change, plus c’est le meme chose. The French riot over gas prices, we can’t stage a decent one that doesn’t involve Queers for Palestine. Just sayin…
Why put down Queers for Palestine? Surely there are better targets.
not really, because it is pretty funny.
Let’s hope the hearing about the TRO is able to disseminate some truth about the reality on the ground v the lies from team Trump

Ken, this is off topic but since you usually cover this beat I thought you would be interested:

Can't believe I hadn't seen this before - thanks!

Glad you found it helpful, Laurie!
I really appreciate hearing the details o
We are under attack by foreigners in our cities and our Police Forces are overwhelmed. What would you suggest?
