Do you not think that deciding to commit a war crime by intentionally targeting and murdering over 200,000 civilians, was perhaps a bad call?
Or perhaps intentionally targeting journalists, doctors, first responders, schools, hospitals, entire apartment buildings, is actually acceptable because the conflict will supposedly end sooner?
That type of flawed logic is exactly what led to atomic bombs being used to kill hundreds of thousands of Japanese civilians, and is Israel’s supposed justification for their barbaric campaign against Palestinians.
any billionaire that ACTUALLY cared about progressive causes could make huge strides by simply funding
youtube creators and organisers
LMAO. How about maybe paying their employees what they’re actually worth, and not evading taxes at every opportunity?
And “constitutionality” is defined by the Supreme Court…
Doh!
Too bad dems already let him stack the courts, including SCOTUS.
Newsom already sent a stern letter, and now he’s posted a TWEET? This is getting serious now…
LMAO. If you ignore the point I’m making in 3 consecutive comments, I’m going to assume you don’t understand. You should take your own advice, you literally told me to go read about the riots!
And surely you’ve heard about about lemm.ee and slrpnk.net? No?
They should seize SpaceX. The US government already pays for it.
What you’re not understanding is that quashing a protest with force doesn’t make the anger just go away.
Thankfully I don’t think US authorities are anywhere close to PRC or Russia levels of force
The US is only trying to end Habeas Corpus, cracking down on free speech, personal and social freedoms, deploying military units in the streets, planting secret police in protests, and is currently kidnapping, disappearing, and sending people to foreign labor camps without trial while wearing masks and not giving any identifiable information… All while supporting and funding an ongoing internationally-recognized genocide.
Maybe you should be doing the reading…
People don’t just instantly forget the moment after an event ends, especially now.
The point I was making, is that bringing in cops and the national guard to beat protesters does not restore order to a crisis caused by ICE kidnapping people. It is an escalation that will very likely be matched if CA hasn’t totally forgotten their past. Which they haven’t.
Not true. LAPD is not cuffing the immigrants, but they are defending ICE during the arrests and attacking protestors.

I don’t mean literal nukes, but they would probably declare an emergency and send in substantial military force.
Edit: It’s crazy that we live in a time where I have to be specific about this.
DC would nuke LA.
OK, but put simply, police forces exist to enforce laws, military forces exist to kill enemies. This is why there are laws to prevent military forces from being deployed domestically. Their jobs are very different, and neither is truly qualified to do the job of the other.
Ok?
The US Military didn’t decide to invade Iraq because they wanted to do good deeds, but that doesn’t mean you didn’t also aid some people along the way. The US Forces invaded over lies and caused mass death and destruction in exchange for political power and money. It wasn’t a war for a good cause, and lead to increased extremism in the Middle East.
Back to the original topic: I generally agree, but am only pessimistic about their numbers and ability to actually resist.
There’s also a part that says freedom of speech, right to a fair trial, freedom from unreasonable search & seizures, right to asylum…
How’s that going?
LAPD is already assisting ICE, so take a guess.
Of all the things you could rightly criticize as cowardly actions, brazenly deploying a military force against a civilian population, is not among them.
Edit: It’s not bravery/cowardice, it’s arrogance.
So, in your view, intentionally killing civilians is OK if they’re Japanese, but not if they’re Palestinian.
Fascinating.
