In light of recent events, I want to make it clear that I now have a zero tolerance policy for anyone responding to my posts with anything that can possibly be construed as advocating or implying violence is the answer to anything that is going on in this country. I've been disturbed lately by

Vague statements but both IL and OR state officials suggest NORTHCOM isn't talking to states, at all, about other states' troops being inserted. In OR at least the CA troops are housed at an ORNG base so there must have been *some* coordination? 1/

This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.

If we are taking in “trillion” of dollars in tariffs:

1. Why haven’t we paid down a cent of the debt?

2. Why can’t we afford to not fuck millions of people over with expiring insurance subsidies?

3. Why is none of it being used to help the abysmal job market?

Compulsory reassignments have gone in recent weeks to workers within CISA, who had focused on issuing alerts about threats against US agencies and critical infrastructure, current and former employees said. They described the orders on condition of anonymity over fears of retaliation.

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

WTF??? First of all, Antifa as an organization, doesn't exist. Second of all, I'm assuming that that IF Antifa did exist, it would be made up of American members. So, is this Noem's way of admitting that they are arresting citizens of this country?
