I pray that all the protesters remain peaceful - despite the provocations. This regime is aching to declare marshall law - and will use any excuse - and may indeed manufacture one. We must be prepared for this outcome. Thank you for being a voice of hope, resistance and reason.
So much for supporting the troops: "President Donald Trump’s rush to deploy California National Guard troops to Los Angeles has left dozens of soldiers without adequate sleeping arrangements, forced to pack together in one or more federal buildings, resting on the floors of what appear to be basements or loading docks...[troops] arrived without federal funding for food, water, fuel, equipment or lodging."
Just laughing at the idea of a panicked Trump trying to use all of his political capital to revoke the third amendment because we've got no place to quarter all these soldiers!
I keep thinking of what Utah Phillips used to say: "Force is the weapon of the weak."
Man, ole Utah was just full of gems, wasn't he?
An irascible font of wisdom, that one.
WOW! Thinking I need to frame and gift this one.

love that passage (and that book, of course)
Thanks for pointing out how to spell martial….
Oh I didn't even track that we had spelled it differently!
Boy, I feel that fear-- that martial laws is coming, and on the flimsiest of pretenses.

Kind of ironic that they’re being treated like the detainees that have been kidnapped by ICE.
OMG Garrett, thank you from the bottom of my beating heart!
Oh thank you, Sally!
