  1. internet says suspect is Vance Boelter. https://www.pguards.net/leadership-team homepage would explain the fake cop suv.
  2. I remember the term "Bernie Bro" as a pejorative. I wonder if that affected any young male voters?
  3. Enjoyed your entire post. I think this part is particularly salient. The techniques and methods we use to destabilize other regions and put in the puppets we want eventually come back home to roost. I don't want anyone I know, and that includes all of you here, to suffer. But it is coming and as an entity is completely deserved.
  4. from random post: "When they do it: Unprovoked act of aggression When we do it: Preemptive strike"
  5. Israel does nothing without the US's approval. Our protection is why they act the way they do. Just yesterday: https://www.cnn.com/2025/06/11/politics/us-middle-east-security-concerns Sure. Pure coincidence.
  6. Yeah, its pretty frightening.
  7. Yeah, that's what I mean. In US politics during my lifetime I have never seen that. Ever. Edit--that was a reply to JimmyJ.
  8. I'm pretty positive I have never seen anything like that in my life.
  9. This could have gone in multiple threads. Might as well put it here. Be careful out there folks. Florida and Texas seem to compete in the cruelty race. https://floridapolitics.com/archives/743092-desantis-mob-flee/
  10. This is stupid and hateful. Lacking in empathy to those who had families being obliterated and basic knowledge of how the election was determined. I'm not going to go further, because I thought this was the LA ICE thread. Also, I'm trying to be a bit better in my time back here and to be clear I am not calling you stupid.
  11. I admit to being surprised by this one. That said, they should all be back home, awaiting fair trials.
  12. https://bsky.app/profile/dominicervolina.com/post/3lrbmmu4wzs2n Bluesky says must be logged in to see it, so cannot embed. "This is from an ICE raid at Glenn Valley Foods in Omaha A small group of protesters are attempting to prevent a vehicle from leaving the premises with detainees aboard The SUV drives toward them and two jump onto the hood of the vehicle, which then stops abruptly before accelerating again"
  13. cops shoot protestor in head with non lethal bullets. refuse to call ambulance. blood warning.
  14. https://ktla.com/news/california/trump-endorses-arrest-of-gavin-newsom/
  15. (quoting in agreement) "The bar is what I think it is"
  16. Telling people to peacefully react to the armed militia shooting at them (and more) sure is something.
  17. I hear you. It is why I couched my wish list in the 'probably won't happen without violence' tone. My opinion is the system itself is rotten to the core at this point. Perhaps always has been depending on perspectives. I am trying not go into head in the sand wake me up when they are at my door despair. But just barely trying if I'm honest. Personal issues leaving very little time to spend on national issue.
  18. Supposedly she is part of a right wing news outlet.( Edit: I have since read that rumor is wrong and was posted in ignorance. I should know better then to do things like that. apologies) Neither here nor there in terms of getting fucking shot. It’s the issue with fascism. Doesn’t matter how loyal you are. You will be turned on eventually
  19. As protesters and law enforcement officers clashed in downtown Los Angeles, an L.A. Police Department helicopter flew over a crowd on 1st Street, announcing, “I have all of you on camera. I’m going to come to your house.” https://www.latimes.com/california/live/national-guard-troops-la-immigration-ice-clashes-paramount#p=i-have-all-of-you-on-camera-im-going-to-come-to-your-house
  20. I don't mean to pile on in a thread ostensibly about the National Guard in LA. And I have biases. But I don't think voting resolves much of this in the long run. Everyone knew project 2025 was coming but there was no counter to it presented. Just please don't vote for Trump. But on actual plans or roadblocks set up. The SC has made him (and every future president) an untouchable king in all but name. Court rulings are being openly ignored. Nothing DOGE has done is slightly legal at all. Thousands of Federal workers are unemployed now and organizations in disarray. Soon to all be privatized. The first Trump term obliterated the very concept of truth and facts and nothing has been done to restore that. But bigger than all that to me is if one group (and it's a group, he's too incompetent to do all this) does so much damage in such a short period of time, then how solid was the system in the first place? Things have been weakened for some time, and executive power was expanded during previous administrations and once expanded it never contracts. This is not me 'both sidesing' this is me saying the system is broken and has been for very long time. Can it be repaired? Not sure. We've had corporate rule for a while, easily longer than when Trump was even considering running. And Occupy Wallstreet showed me a lot of what happens when you try to fight it. Not much good seems to happen. That said, I'm not saying give up, I'm not saying don't vote. But I personally think we need to push more ideas than we do various people in these parties. I'm not sure how it works other than we need candidates with actual action plans. Like real legislation that rolls back corporate involvement and power. Real legislation that actually helps the common person and blocks abuses of power. And even as I type that I wonder if that's ever allowed to happen without violence and lives lost. But just "resist" or just "don't nomalize this" isn't enough imo. And if you have to hope somehow every 4 years everyone votes in the "right" person/group of people then again, that delicate system is bound to break.
