It's been really demoralizng how much the press mindlessly repeats the lie that the National Guard was sent to quell violence.

It was sent to start violence. People know this, so just say it.

When did you ever hear the BBC stating that it must alter “story selection” and “other types of output, such as drama”, to win the trust of Green voters, or of unrepresented people on the left?
All the shifts are in just one direction.

Every major Dem politician needs to realize that, in this environment, they can schedule a "speech to the nation," like Newsom did, and get tons of media coverage.

Just do it.

You can't call immigrants lazy moochers looking for government handouts and then round them up at Home Depots where you know they are looking for work.

You can't say immigrants don't follow the rules and then round them up in courthouses where they are following the rules.

Get your lies straight.

As Trump plans mass deployments of ICE in Chicago, a car just sped through a group of protesters.

I was at the Federal Plaza protest. It was PEACEFUL. This violence and chaos are what Trump, his masked thugs, and the people who support mass deportations stand for.

An LAPD helicopter claimed to have ID'ed protesters from above and threatened to "come to your house."

The threat was greeted with extreme concern by civil liberties and digital privacy groups. It suggests the LAPD could be using facial recognition to identify and retaliate against protesters.

The practice, an expert warns, could lead to "reprisals and retribution by the police for your politics.”

RIP Hind Rajab.

Today is one year on since this little six year old was killed (my daughter's age) - and then so were the two brave medics who came to rescue her, as agreed by the IDF, as she cowered in her family car with her family dead around her.

I will never forget this story.
