This is the use of the military for domestic law enforcement; I don’t see any other way to describe it.
California National Guard troops under federal control were sent to operate in "the greater Los Angeles area." What the actual definition of that area is for Task Force 51 is isn't clear. But apparently it includes the Salton Sea. New from me @taskandpurpose.com taskandpurpose.com/news/nationa...
Guardsmen sent to LA are 130 miles east of the city doing drug busts
It’s unclear how many National Guardsmen participated in the operation, but the force totalled roughly 500 people.

We have gone from the margin of error to the margin of effort.
On the day before the election, we stand on the verge of toppling a political dynasty and winning a city we can afford. But we can only do it with you.

I posted this not too long ago, but I’m still stunned by it. The difference between a hemoglobin molecule and a chlorophyll molecule is merely the substitution of an iron atom for a magnesium atom. Just unbelievably fascinating to me!

this was really an opportunity for centrist Ds to shore up support with the left and take steps towards a real antifascist coalition.
Cuomo is an abuser who has devoted his career to thwarting D priorities. Many mainstream Ds had already denounced him. He's obviously unfit. 1

This clip has me thinking about people finally taking Trump's ownership of the narrative, enforced by the massive GOP media advantage, seriously.
Fox et al want people to believe LA is burning, terrible, overrun.
LA has a lot of people who are pretty good at communicating, who can show otherwise!

A recent study found that for every $1 invested in the National Weather Service, it produces $73 in value to Americans.
Not only is the NWS a life-saving government resource, it's actually quite efficient.

Excellent book
SF promises strange new worlds. In @clarkeaward.bsky.social winner The Animals in that Country, the blurb is a classic 3-parter: protagonist, premise, perturb. 1) a foul-mouthed drunken granny; 2) who suddenly understand animals; 3) and hits the road with a bossy dingo to find her lost g-daughter.

Kristi Noem has been working with the producer of “Duck Dynasty” to pitch a reality TV show—titled “The American”—where immigrants will compete in a string of challenges across the country “for the honor of fast-tracking their way to U.S. citizenship,” according to a new report.

A Homeland Security official told the Daily Beast that the show is in the early stages of vetting, though approval has not been given—or denied.
