If you automatically assume that anything any media outlet reports is a lie if a cop is the source you’re likely to be far better informed than someone who automatically assumes it’s all true.

Did you or a friend or a family member get attacked by Trump’s brown shirts this weekend? I’d like to hear about it and maybe do something about it. My email is jchavez [at] ojrc [dot] info. Please put “Seeking Legal Advice re: ICE Building” in subject line. All inquiries are confidential.

Keep yourselves anonymous, and get the agents' faces ON CAMERA if you can. Then, send it to icelist.is so we can get charges against as many of these terrorists as possible.

If a federal judge, appointed by Trump, can call him “simply untethered to facts,” our White House press corps can as well.

In sum, the President is certainly entitled "a great level of deference," Newsom II, 141
F.4th at 1048, in his determination that he "is unable with the regular forces to execute the laws
of the United States." 10 U.S.C. § 12406(3). But "a great level of deference" is not equivalent to
ignoring the facts on the ground. As the Ninth Circuit articulated, courts must "review the
President's determination to ensure that it reflects a colorable assessment of the facts and law

Case 3:25-cv-01756-IM Document 56
Filed 10/04/25

within a 'range of honest judgment.'" Id. at 1051 (quoting Sterling, 278 U.S. at 399). Here, this
Court concludes that the President did not have a "colorable basis" to invoke § 12406(3) to
federalize the National Guard because the situation on the ground belied an inability of federal
law enforcement officers to execute federal law. Id. at 1051-52. The President's determination
was simply untethered to the facts.
c. Whether there is a Rebellion or Danger of Rebellion
Defendants also aroue that the Sentember 28 2025 federalization order is authorized

Record as much length & surrounding context (street signs, license plates, etc) as you can, don’t say anything - you want it court and tv presentable to break thru

Finally subscribed to @flaminghydra.com

reactionaries still skulk and leer at each other in fancy hotel suites and secret conference rooms, but their dirty work is also done violently and in public, by men in uniform smashing and grabbing under color of law in city streets. Only their enemies feel compelled to sneak around at all; the secret society of white supremacist elites in the film hides behind their kitsch and their code seemingly mostly for yuks.

No point talking politics with people IRL, either you agree and the conversation is over or you disagree and then you have a boring argument. Better to create an account on social media and yell about it like a street preacher

The cruelest thing about the Trump/Kennedy pseudoscience press conference today is that there are now women who believe they caused their child’s autism.

To those women: you didn’t.
