My Republican rep is doing fuck all.

Abbott actively hurts people. He voted for all of this, just not for himself. What's good for the goose is good for the gander. I owe him exactly as much compassion as he would have for me, and not a whisper more.

And the left will tell him, "this is what you wanted."

I think he shortened his last name to Abbott because Abbottoire was a little too on the nose.

However a corrupt SCOTUS gave him the power to do both of the last two.

It was to throw my maga mother into a frenzied confusion. The leader of one of her cults hates the leader of her other one.

Greg Abbott is invading Illinois. Nobody with the authority to ask for this, asked for this.

That's an invasion force. They're invading Chicago.

Didn't Abbottoire promise to eliminate rape in Texas? How's that going? He could put the "elite Texas National Guard" on that problem instead. That's a problem that actually needs solving. But he won't, that would obliterate his base, and he knows it.

This is an attempt to spark violence by the left so he can use it to try to justify martial law. Because he wants to prevent the release of that material. He's desperate.

They're not there to protect civilians, they're not trained to "protect and serve," that's civilian police forces. They're there because the Toddler in Chief REALLY doesn't want the Epstein files released. Eventually, the government will reopen and the vote will be taken to release the files.

Seriously? They're not there to protect civilians, they're literally an invading force, and you're saying to roll out the red carpet, and make them comfortable? Show them who they are invading, and let them piss their pants before you let them use your restroom.

I'm a veteran, I took the same oath they're violating. It's not Paul's fault that Gov Abbottoire is thrilled to have Texas invade Illinois for Trump, but we can't encourage the message that Illinois residents should roll out the red carpet for TXNG uniformed and armed troops.

I'm a veteran, I took the same oath they're currently violating. I served under the same UCMJ and Posse Comitatus Act they're currently violating. I fully understood my duty to disobey as it related to those things, just as they do. Again, "I was just following orders," is not a viable defense.

Auntie Aiofe @auntieaiofe.bsky.social · 8h

I said "don't aid and abet." It's possible to resist them without giving Trump what he wants. Chicago seems to be doing pretty well so far. The Guard is not the enemy, but they're sure as hell not there to be friendly, either. They're not there to be neutral.

I had an opportunity to meet her years ago. I should have taken it.

Auntie Aiofe @auntieaiofe.bsky.social · 9h

Resist them just like ICE. Don't serve them in restaurants, don't let them use the restroom, don't rent them hotel rooms. Find out where they're sleeping and protest loudly. Why should anyone make it comfortable for Trump to use the military this way?

Auntie Aiofe @auntieaiofe.bsky.social · 9h

Paul, I appreciate your desire to treat TXNG, hubs was a member, well, but, no. Chicago should not, in any way, aid and abet Trump's invasion of American cities. If the TXNG member is there, in Chicago, they're committing a crime. "I was just following orders" is not a viable defense.

They're obeying illegal orders. This is coming from a USAF veteran and former Texas resident, they're obeying illegal orders. They're not the good guys, they're obeying orders that they have a duty to disobey.

We the People don't owe Trump's Gestapo any comfort. They should wear diapers like their boss.

That way you don't freak out that something fucked with your algorithm when the stitched video is some maga bullshit.
