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 — all in an effort to intimidate peaceful protestors advocating for immigrant rights.

nytimes.comCourt Says Trump Violated Law in Los Angeles National Guard DeploymentThe ruling, which comes as the midterm election nears, could make it more difficult for President Trump to seize control of the National Guard.

Don’t read too much into the results, but Democrats are outperforming Republicans in Oregon, much like is happening in other locations Run through the line, make a plan to vote, ask others to do the same, and get your ballot to a DROP BOX (too late to mail!)

Chaotic wars and displacement push populations to the right, and towards disorganization, which the naturally organized capitalist class is able to capitalize on

Scott Horton@robertscotthorton.bsky.social

Ill-defined Republican forever wars in the Middle East, in many cases broadly supported by Democrats, have had a huge human cost, including the displacement of roughly 38 million people. This exceeds those displaced by every war since 1900—except World War II. Rarely reported in US corporate media.

In August, the Trump administration flew 12 Somali immigrants to an ICE facility at Guantanamo Bay. “Nobody tell us that we’re going to Guantanamo Bay,” Sakariye Abdi Mohamed told journalist Amanda Moore in a phone call from the detention facility. “Just like kidnapping.”

A key takeaway from the leaked AfD emails: encouraged by Putin and the Kremlin, senior AfD leaders traveled surreptitiously to Syria to meet with Assad and Hezbollah. The Russian intelligence services orchestrated and supervised the whole junket with Hezbollah input. The whole episode reminds

Electing Bolsonaro as president of Brazil was a huge project for the Trump administration towards which large resources were mustered, including US diplomatic and consular staff.
