This could just be another relatively routine night in the police state or it could be a kind of turning point. Not sure it will be good if it's the latter, but if it is it was always going to be the great people of Los Angeles.

Stephen Miller is fulfilling his high school wet dream of terrorizing all the Brown people in Los Angeles. My daughter's friends who went to SaMo High with him said he used to seethe while the morning announcements were repeated in Spanish. Hell, they did that when I went there. (Mesozoic age.)

This should be a wake-up call to other states: your National Guard can be federalized and used against your own people. Massachusetts must reestablish the Massachusetts State Defense Force—disbanded by Charlie Baker—to ensure we retain control over our own security forces.

The federal government is moving to take over the California National Guard and deploy 2,000 soldiers.
That move is purposefully inflammatory and will only escalate tensions.

Christian Nationalists pretend that the United States was founded as a Christian nation, but the Constitution never mentions Jesus or Christianity. Not even once. Instead, it bans government promotion of *any* religion. Don't be fooled by their lying propaganda.

"No tax on tips" is a dumb policy that cuts Social Security and incentivizes bad employers.
As @abdallahfayyad.bsky.social notes here, raising the minimum wage, eliminating subminimum wages, and raising the standard deduction would be far better policy.

There’s a better way to help underpaid workers than “no tax on tips”
Tipped workers need a raise, not a tax cut.
