On the other hand https://youtu.be/kz58-dvAiCM bring your family, kids and don't let others make it violent. Bring an American flag (those fascist don't represent it) I've been attending those weekly and they are very peaceful and mostly full of seniors (which is sad, because younger generation has the most to lose from this).

If those protests suddenly turn violent after those months it will be because planted agitators.

I wasn't aware of state guard, but after looking out up looks like California does have it, although it is about 900 troops so I guess that's why it's is almost as if it wasn't there.

Yeah, exactly this was actually mentioned on page 555 of the project.

What LAPD is doing needs to be investigated and they need being punished for it, but as of now Newsom doesn't have control over national guard, trump used an obscure law with very weak justification to get control of it.

This is what this lawsuit is about. To get the control back.

When taking to the press they purposefully used words like "invasion" and "rebellion" to help with justification of invoking this obscure law but it is clear it is not.

The lawsuit is that trump took away Newsome's control of the national guard. This is why he can't "just order" them.

The whole reason for this suit is that trump is taking control of our own national guard through some obscure law so Newsom no longer can control it.

LAPD: LOOK OUT! HE HAS AN ELECTRIC RAZOR! GET HIM!

That's why you will not see a Cybertruck on the road in Europe.

That was the initial reason, now there's also the Nazi reason and the crappy car reason.

This is why safety nets are important. In US you can lose your job, not get unemployment and lose access to doctor.

This. Unfortunately we are living in interesting times, and this administration counts on inaction.

These are also meant to be peaceful protests, despite what some night say, historically peaceful protests are more successful than riots.
