More and more Americans are voicing their outrage at the tactics being deployed by federal agents in Minnesota. But it’s important to understand the broader implications of what this administration is doing, and the threat it poses to the basic freedoms of every American.

This young man has it exactly right.

A tweet from “Adam Mockler @adammockler” reads:
“Stephen Miller just went on Fox News and said telling troops to refuse illegal orders is an ‘open act of insurrection.’ He is telling on himself.
They are planning to give illegal orders, and they want a military that will follow them blindly.”

Los Angeles is a city of immigrants and unions. Those two constituencies have essentially melded into one, with unions backing immigrant rights and moving to the forefront of the protests against the Trump administration’s deportations.

2022 government budgeted $96.2 billion for elementary & secondary education. 46.4%, came from the Education Department. About $1 in every $7 (or 13.7%) of public school funding comes from the federal government. Depending on the district, that number can range from 0% to 75%. @usafacts.org

The national news story about the riots in Los Angeles are not even making local news.

It was never about saving money—or rooting out waste, fraud, and abuse. Musk bought himself a presidency, and in exchange, Trump handed him the keys to our government so he could tear down anything in his way, siphon off our data w/his hackers, and line his pockets w/more fat government contracts.
