Trump ally Charlie Kirk shot dead at campus event in Utah.

GOOD.

I am not someone who wants violence, but Charlie Kirk continuously promoted it.

This person spoke out against the very existence of free Black lives, against the LGBTQ+ community, and believed free-thinking women needed to be "put in their place."

Charlie Kirk preached enslavement and believed in stripping the rights of anyone different from himself. He outright said that not all people were created equal — nor should they be.

Charlie Kirk was a Nazi.

I am absolutely sickened that California Governor Gavin Newsom encouraged people to "continue his work." No one should feel entitled to continue Charlie Kirk's work.

In California, Trump has cast doubt on whether he will approve the $40 billion Gov. Newsom has requested to help pay for recovery costs associated with the LA fires, including $16.8 billion from FEMA to rebuild property and remove debris.

While he is hiding behind the guise of targeting Democratic-led states & cities that function as #sanctuaries for undocumented #immigrants, #Trump’s barely disguised his bloodlust for using his 2nd term to punish all of his perceived political enemies. Gov #GavinNewsom & #LA Mayor #KarenBass most certainly fall into this category.

The confrontation escalated on Monday as new #protests occurred & #Defense Secy #PeteHegseth announced—on X—that he was mobilizing 700 #Marines from a base near #LosAngeles to guard federal bldgs. They are expected to join 2k members of the #California #NationalGuard whom #Trump ordered deployed without the authorization of the #state’s #governor, #GavinNewsom, who normally [legally] has command of the #troops.

From Lawfare—Chris Mirasola explains Trump’s memorandum purporting to deploy 2,000 #NationalGuard personnel to respond to #protests against #ICE #immigration raids in #LosAngeles.

There has been significant mischaracterization of what #Trump has authorized in the memo signed yesterday. #Governor #GavinNewsom has criticized, for example, a complete takeover of the #California Guard. This is not provided for in the memo. Here is what the memo does provide.

DefaultThe National Guard in Los AngelesThe president hasn’t invoked the Insurrection Act. He’s instead relying on a theory of inherent constitutional power that is far more limited.
