It's easy to see this speech as just weirdly performative, but there's a lot more—and a lot worse—going on here.
The meeting & speeches are part of a larger project aimed at promoting the military leadership’s partisan alignment with the administration.

If you’re near Seattle, the Ai Weiwei show at SAM is stunning. It is unfortunately closing Sunday but I hope that it’s moving to a museum elsewhere in the US. As you can see, my kid felt very passionate and inspired

I’ve been canning a lot lately. I haven’t done much in years but I figure now’s the time. I’ve done pickled sweet peppers, asparagus and green beans, peaches, preserves, and juice concentrate. I have a box of apples to make sauce and I’m going to blend some with other fruits and berries 😻

When I was a kid we weren’t allowed to touch our new clothes and shoes until the first day of school. Now as a mom I’m desperate to throw away my kids high water pants and torn up shoes and holey flannels and hoodies so they’re available immediately. I could care less about the first day of school 😅

Stopped at my local Costco in western Washington today and the produce section was low - the walkways were twice as wide as normal in the refrigerated area and non refrigerated area. They even filled in an entire table with baked goods that usually has produce. What are you seeing out there?

Trump calls for deporting US citizens: "We also have a lot of bad people that have been here for a long time ... many of them were born in our country. I think we ought to get them the hell out of here too, if you want to know the truth. So maybe that'll be the next job."

This is in part why the fascists want to take out the 14th amendment so badly. They want a slave class.
This is a real tension in the right wing coalition. The racist wing wants honest to God deportations of all Latinos, the business wing wants *the threat of* deportations as a way to create a group of second class laborers they can exploit with no rights.

If your boss tells you to lie to teachers, hide your identity, and steal 1st graders from their schools you have a bad job and an evil boss and you should say no
BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.”
They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

This is a pretty important point!
The correct way to connect the authoritarian presence in LA and the Big Beautiful Bill is that the bill gives the government the resources to do this in dozens of cities at once. So if you don't like what's happening in LA, it's coming to your town if the bill passes.

Trump sent the troops to CA without fuel, food, water or a place to sleep.
If anyone is treating the troops disrespectfully, it is Donald Trump.
