When I reported for duty at Naval Station Great Lakes, I never imagined that some day a US President would seek to use it as a base for surveillance and enforcement activity on American soil. Our military was not set up to cater to the whims of a would-be American dictator.

Communist regimes: Own companies Control their central banks Use tariffs to insulate their economies Use armies, false charges, home raids & arrests to intimidate the opposition Idolize their leaders with posters & praise Sound familiar?
Don't get it twisted. Trump is having the National Guard pick up trash to debase them. He hates the military. He is incapable of understanding anyone who would make sacrifices for the greater good. He thinks they are suckers and losers, and he's treating them as such.
Trump wants you to think heās broken the rule of law. But thatās not true. Guardrails still exist, starting with grand juries, which are declining to indict criminal cases that are lacking. We need to remember the Constitution puts power in other hands for a reason. Itās time to use it.

The second amendment guarantees the right to a militia to guard against federal tyranny. But if a president can use that force against its own state, against the wishes of that state, then it is no militia at all and a clear violation of the second amendment.

Fascism has festered in our nation since its inception. In slavery, in Jim Crow, in capitalismāitās morphed to survive, to build, to dominate. But all that time, freedom has grown too; America has progressed and the world has connected. We are more ready for this than ever before. Good will win.
Heās wrong about everything, and thinks heās right about everything. Hard to tell which is worse. The war will end when Russia decides no longer to fight. The US could make that happen with a few simple policies. Instead the Trump administration offers ridiculous analysis and pathetic excuses.

Iāve heard military law experts advise, if you are given an illegal command as a soldier, do not blindly obey. Call your attorney. Obeying an illegal command can result in a court martial.
When State officials refuse to uphold a federal judicial order, the remedy can legally be: - contempt of court to include fines, sanctions, and/or jail time - enforcement by US Marshals - enforcement by US military

šØ The Trump admin is stonewalling Congress on the Epstein files They admit to holding 60k documents but dumped just 34k, 97% of which were already public and the rest recycled flight records. This looks like a blatant cover-up to protect powerful friends. How long will Trump keep hiding the truth?
This is so great. I got very involved in writing the real story of Katrina in the aftermath, knew how almost every agency of government failed, how the elites and media spread lies that demonized the victims, know that we must do better.....

Remembering today when pro-GOP media erupted with outrage over Kamala Harris' warning that Trump had plans to militarize the national guard and deploy them on the streets of US cities. Indeed, he had such plans. And now he's implementing them.
It isnāt normal for a president to repeatedly threaten the use of military force against American citizens. Treating the National Guard as a political pawn disrespects those who serve and undermines public trust in our military.
If we look at the world through the eyes of our children, we'd see that we're all not so different and there is a lot more love than hate. Let's keep holding onto that hope for a better tomorrow for your kids and mine.

Itās clear that the main goal of the Maxwell interview was to get her to say that she didnāt see Trump do anything wrong. Which can only mean that there is something in the files that suggests that he did. Why else would she need to say that? The interview is more incriminating, not less.
Iām shocked Trump didnāt block this. Itās exactly the kind of history he wants to whitewash. Thousands of pages dropped on how the DOJ, FBI, and Civil Rights Commission handled Emmett Tillās murder. REMINDER: It all began with a lie from a white woman that became a death sentence for a Black kid.
Honestly surprised we're not seeing more incidents like this -- both the masked men impersonating cops and the intended victim shooting masked men.
This is great: a National Guardsman standing up to say every member of the National Guard and military "is legally obliged to disobey an illegal order."
Trump looks like hammered dogshit these days. His ankles are horribly swollen, he's got a weird discoloration on his hand, his eyes are glazed over and he's not even wearing a necktie in the Oval Office anymore. He's rambling more than ever and seems deeply out of it. But Joe Biden, huh.
No one would be confused about what's happening if you saw it in another country. No one.
Trump played up a nick on his ear like it was serious combat wound for months but weāre all supposed to just ignore everything going on with his hands and ankles like thereās no issue.

That was one of the most batshit press conferences of Trump's public life. He brandished a photo of Putin and promised to deploy the US military to occupy Chicago, New York, and San Francisco. A sane country would be moving toward impeachment and removal right now.
Itās literally not possible for Trump to look more guilty in connection with Jeffrey Epstein. Every action Trump takes is what prosecutors call āconsciousness of guilt.ā
Ghislaine Maxwell lied about a lot of things but she still did testify that she and Jeffrey Epstein would visit Mar a Lago and knew Trump well. She didnāt help Trump. She buried him. Reminds me of this: āI come to bury Caesar, not to praise him. The evil that men do lives after them.ā
