Donald Trump's deployment of California's National Guard in Los Angeles was an unlawful and unconstitutional abuse of power. It was done over California’s objection β€” all in an effort to intimidate peaceful protestors advocating for immigrant rights.

🧡 There's a very unfortunate tendency of some very loyal Democrats to misapply "Murc's Law." For those who don't know of it, Murc's Law is the concept that the mainstream media acts as if only Democrats have agency in politics, and that Republican can't choose to act more rightfully.

Justice to a reactionary is the right groups (my groups) being at the top and the wrong groups at the bottom. They reject the rule of law. In fact, they think that everything should be criminalized so that the right people can use it as a pretext to oppress the wrong people.

Much of What Democrats Must Do boils down to valuing the good faith opinions of millions of Americans who vote for them more than bad faith opinions in media. They’ll call truth and justice β€œweaponization.” They’ll say voters don’t want accountability. They’re wrong, and Dems don’t have to listen.
