Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Newsom and all Democratic governors should immediately start requiring all National Guard troops to attend classes or seminars on their legal rights and what to do when given an illegal order.

We dont do that before we give them guns?

[–] Boddhisatva@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago

Maybe they do, but I'd like to see them get a refresher course.

I have nothing of conversational value to add, but would like to state for the record that Stephen Miller can suck the shit right out of my asshole. In fact, I'll make a Taco Bell run in advance just to be sure it's worth your while.

FDJT.

You can revel in this story. I reckon the odds are better than even that he's gonna be cuckolded with the next Elon IVF spawn.

I'll volunteer the warm vehicle to store them in!

The agreement allowed detainees to be housed at the Glendale Police Department facility, which provided access to virtual and in-person visitation.

City leaders acknowledged the change could make family visits more difficult, and warned that access to legal representation might be more limited at other facilities.

"Nevertheless, despite the transparency and safeguards the city has upheld, the city recognizes that public perception of the ICE contract—no matter how limited or carefully managed, no matter the good—has become divisive," the city said in a press release.

Yes I would say it’s quite “divisive” to allow jackbooted thugs wearing face covers to arrest our friends, family, and neighbors with impunity because their bigot leader has them all whipped up into a frenzy. So glad they figured this out lmao

ICE and their various fed retainers will still waltz into these neighborhoods without consequence. All it means is that they can't count on local cooperation.

[–] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 4 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago) (1 children)

They haven't been able to. That's why the national guard was called. Because people blocked ICE, and their targets were able to go home without being kidnapped.

No thanks to the police, but ICE can't just waltz into these neighbors anymore

[–] Carmakazi@lemmy.world 2 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Confrontations with ICE are the exception, not the rule. They are grabbing hundreds if not thousands of people successfully every single day. They claim almost universal jurisdiction and are not prohibited from operating anywhere, and ignore the law when they are anyway.

The national guard is not there because of any practical challenges of manpower. They are there to normalize the use of military assets to crush dissent, and to instigate a reason to declare martial law. This was likely planned by Project 2025 architects long before Trump took office.

Unless the local police are willing to draw down on federal agents this is hardly a speedbump.

In many neighborhoods in LA it is the rule, not the exception. That's why the national guard was called in LA

The agreement allowed detainees to be housed at the Glendale Police Department facility

Not having local cops for backup and support is a good thing too.

Things this will stop either department from doing…nothing. Nothing at all.
