Is there looming a Tiananmen Square...American style? I feel the entire "cuckoo's nest" is aroused and emboldened for something disastrously wrong. No matter, the dubious idea of USA being the champion of democracy is finished. Actually, it never was.

No! Tiananmen Square has entered the cultural zeitgeist again at this precise moment because domestic and foreign bad actors are pumping it on social media because they want you too scared to be in the streets on No Kings Day (specifically) and really ever (in general).

Don’t fall for it. Me and mine will be out there on the 18th. Stand up ZZL! Who else will be out there with me!?!?

  • Oregon appeal: The Trump administration asked an appeals court to let it send troops from California or Texas to Portland, despite a federal judge’s order late Sunday blocking deployments from any state to the city. The judge was appointed by Mr. Trump. It was unclear how quickly an appeal might be heard. Read more ›
  • Chicago hearing: Judge April M. Perry of Federal District Court in Northern Illinois, a Biden appointee, pressed Trump administration lawyers for more information about National Guard assignments in the, describing herself as “very troubled by the lack of answers.” She said she needed time to review the case before issuing any orders, setting a hearing for Thursday.…”
 
Short primer on the insurrection act (from April 2022). There was an effort to reform it before we got to this point (because the writing was plainly on the wall to anyone paying attention), and yet here we are.

The Insurrection Act Explained

The law, which lets the president deploy the military domestically and use it for civilian law enforcement, is dangerously vague and in urgent need of reform.

ICE Agent called in 911 claiming attack on a gate — when cops race there, they find a CBS affiliate cameraman and his bodyguard. The ICE agent claimed that the cameraman was a threat to breach the facility.

ICE pretty blatantly just pulling the chain of CPD (report says there are other similarly suspicious incidents).
 


Serious question. What can be done to Bondi/Patel/any of the other minions who continue to show their ass at these congressional inquiries?
