A woman walking home alone was shot point-blank with “non-lethal” rounds fired by officers in Los Angeles. A neighbor filmed the assault and rushed to help only to be fired on and ordered back.

Is this when it really starts to fall apart? Spent many years stationed at CPEN and many of my Marines were from the area, had family in the area. Just like the CA Nat Guard. This is all some dangerous shit.

The federal government is taking over the California National Guard and deploying 2,000 soldiers in Los Angeles — not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle.
Don't give them one.
Never use violence. Speak out peacefully.

Your safety is the top priority. Peaceful protesters have already been harmed for doing nothing. The story they’re selling isn’t legit. Please film everything, document everything.

Please call your senators, both Democrats and Republican, and insist they read the entire reconciliation bill before they vote on it! They must know all the poison pills slipped into the bill and remove all lines that do not impact the budget!

Tucked inside the House GOP tax bill? A massive national voucher program. $5B/year in tax credits to subsidize private & religious schools—$20B over 4 years. Public money, zero oversight.
A backdoor defund of public education masked as “choice.”

The Senate parliamentarian advised lawmakers that they couldn't use the Congressional Review Act to revoke California's right to set vehicle standards. But they did it anyway. Expect a legal fight.
