NEW: The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) announced Friday that it will send election monitors to polling sites in California and New Jersey — a move that Democrats and democracy advocates warned may be a potential step toward the Trump administration seizing control of voting.

Red states praise federalism & states rights when they do what the feds don't want them to: banning abortion or ignoring fed gun laws. But it can work both ways. If blue states got together they could throw sand in the gears of the federal gov't & hinder it.

Start your morning with two minutes of the testimony of Samuel Garcia, an average American who drove 3 hours to speak truth to power to the Texas legislature. Let’s decide that we are all Samuel Garcia. Get in their faces and make them listen. Mr. Garcia is a great American.

El Sobrante is a small unincorporated area in the SF east bay. We had a good turnout of about 700 folks protesting today ~ at a busy intersection and down the road. Much support from the drive bys, too!

This is the lede. There is a woman on camera in charge of a lot of people with guns. She says they are going to liberate a domestic population center from democratically elected officials and violate too many laws to count in the process. I have zero time for anything else.
Every elected Republican should be asked if they think the president has the power to send in military in to “liberate” a state or city from its elected government.

This is the language of abuse. "Yes, he beats you, but you must not provoke him. Don't make him mad or he'll make it even worse."
But it does not work. He beats you anyway because that's what he wants to do. He gets pleasure from it.
And we can't even leave. There is no place for us to go.

The advice from most establishment types on either side of the aisle really boils down to this: Trump can do anything he wants, provoke violence, incite insurrections, pardon those who do it and call them patriots. In response, you can wear a pussy hat and march quietly but that's about it.

For some perspective, the federal government funds *over half* of all scientific research and development conducted by the @uofcalifornia.bsky.social -- and UC is collectively responsible, in turn, for over 8% of all academic research conducted in the United States.
