illegally federalize National Guard troops
There’s a lot of issues going on, but one of the biggest is nothing about that was illegal.
I mean, if it wasnt legal then we wouldn’t have been able to do it to enforce school desegregation decades ago.
I know we agree in spirit, but in these times it’s important for people to understand what’s happening, why it’s an issue, and what we need to do to ensure it doesn’t happen again.
People say it’s hard to protest because America is so spread out.
It also means that when the Fed tries to crack down on protests, there’s too much ground for them to be everywhere at once.
They can’t handle one city, if they try and deploy all over it’ll be an even bigger cluster fuck, and make the military even more fed up with trump.
The fact that this person is a state senator is ridiculous, she’s clearly way way way too stupid
…
Bro…
Most state senators are just whatever photogenic person was willing to take the most bribes.
At a certain level intelligence is a downside. Because an idiot will take money with zero guilt, and a smart person would be conflicted because they can see the strings.
Most state senators are fucking idiots because of that. They’re just empty suits
LBJ said it…
“If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.”

He wasn’t advocating on it, but commenting on the Republican strategy and all the racist shit he saw down in the South
“Then the reporter asked, ‘Could Governor Newsom or Mayor [Karen] Bass be arrested?’ I said, ‘Well, no one’s above the law. If they cross the line, commit a crime—absolutely, they can. So there was no discussion about arresting Newsom,” Homan added.
Reporter should have asked about trump and the 1/6ers too then
They
Who is “they”? The people no longer in power?
Fuck them, you’ll never see me defend them.
But it’s Ken Martin now, and he didnt just show up 3 months ago fully formed…
We can look at how he ran Minnesota’s state party, turned a purple state blue and made it one of the most progressive states in the country.
Because while he isn’t overtly progressive, what he cares about is winning elections. And he knows voters want progressive policy and fair primaries.
It’s not like he’s gonna be our Superman, but after 50+ years of Lex Luther running the party, we really don’t need anything more from the party.
A fair primary is all it takes to get neoliberals out of office.
They’re openly, publicly, and repeatedly saying they’re be impartial and backing that with their actions.
Martin isn’t going to “go after” anyone.
But he’s not going to protect incumbents just because they’re incumbents.
It’s all progressives need to kick out the dinosaurs, we don’t need the party to do it for us, just to not put a gun to our head and say it’s a neoliberal or a Republican.
It’s been three months now…
They’re redoing a vice chair election the old DNC fucked up instead of just picking one
They’re openly, publicly, and repeatedly saying they’re be impartial and backing that with their actions.
They’ve been pushing local meetings in areas where local politicians refuse to meet with their constituents…
What more did you want in 3 months of taking over?
Seriously, what will make you feel more comfortable in trusting the new DNC?
What do you want?
Well…
I highly doubt that Jill is keeping a close personal eye on his prostate…
However I think if Gerry Connelly wouldn’t have gotten so much blowback for “finding out” he had cancer like the day after the election, I believe this would have been announced earlier.
And I wouldn’t be surprised in the slightest if they found out while Biden was president and just didn’t say anything.
There’s a new DNC now, but I wouldn’t have trusted the last one on anything
So you think it was illegal when the NG escorted Black kids to school in Arkansas against the wishes of the Governor of Arkansas?

Like, you’re acting like this is unprecedented, and that’s just flat out wrong…
Quick edit:
Newsom has a D by his name, but he’s still a lying piece of shit that was sucking up to the right very very recently.
Don’t just believe anything he says as gospel.
People need to be informed these days, don’t just back anyone on your “team”. Especially not someone who would never consider you as their own team.
