Jun 9, 2025

WASHINGTON, June 9 – Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) today released the following statement after President Trump bypassed California’s governor to deploy National Guard troops to California:

"Let’s be clear: Trump’s deployment of the National Guard in California is not about the protests there, ICE, or immigration. It is about using extremely dubious legal authority to expand his never-ending grasp for more power and his effort to move this country toward authoritarianism. This is a president who has usurped the constitutional responsibilities of Congress; threatened to impeach judges who rule against his policies; sued media that criticize him; extorted money from law firms that have represented his opponents; and is withholding funds from universities for teaching courses he doesn’t like.

"In our federalist form of government, it is the governor of a state who deploys the National Guard — not the president of the United States. It is absurd and laughable for the Trump administration to argue that they needed to mobilize the National Guard because of a threat from a “foreign invasion” or “rebellion” against the United States. This is just another example of Trump wanting more power for himself and ignoring the law. All Americans – Democrats, Republicans, independents – must stand together against this gross abuse of power."

This conversation was about me saying no that is not conflation, and agreeing with the intent of the person you replied to. It's not any bigger than that.

The intent of the person you replied to being, WTF is "we didn't have a problem"?? Yes, everyone please clap for Newsom, he called ICE cruel! He sure told Trump off! I'll criticise Newsom all day long and you can call me stupid and complain about where I'm putting my goalposts.

Newsom "condemns" ICE the way Republicans condemn the deficit. I.e., not in any way that matters. And now events are forcing him to pretend to care.

Thank you, yes he said that.

I'm saying that "We didn't have a problem until Trump got involved. This is a serious breach of state sovereignty — inflaming tensions while pulling resources from where they're actually needed. Rescind the order. Return control to California." is a WTF level statement. Newsom will happily let ICE empty out people from homes as long as it is done politely.

I dont interpret that as conflation, more pointing out, why doesn't Newsom consider ICE kidnappings a problem?? He's only concerned about the unrest just like he pretends to be addressing homelessness by criminalization

"To all investors and companies looking to invest in Ontario, we urge you to do your due diligence and speak directly to our First Nations. While both federal and provincial leaders claim Canada and Ontario to be ‘Open for business’ or to ‘Build, baby, build’, First Nations resources are not Ontario’s nor Canada’s resources, nor any other organization claiming to be rights holders, such as the Métis Nation of Ontario, to do as they wish or claim benefit and profit from. Only our First Nations can assure you that it is safe to invest in projects on our lands and should be consulted on anything that happens or is to happen on Treaty and Aboriginal Title territory,” states Grand Council Chief Debassige. “In addition to our inherent and treaty rights, our Aboriginal rights are further recognized and affirmed in Section 35 of the Constitution Act, 1982, and our self-determination is reaffirmed in international human rights frameworks like the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples."

 

Title.

Agree, but it helps to be able bodied and not in a hilly area.

Not to mention there is a third thing called Collections on mobile. It's such a shitshow. Just make bookmarks better!!! Like, I am forced to peruse the fully expanded directory tree while saving and moving bookmarks on mobile? So hellish, I am dead, every time.

I should add that I use directories extensively... I just checked and I am at 22 full-screen-length scrolls from beginning to end - so, at least 250 folders. It doesn't help that indentation levels are barely hinted at

Profit seekers really gotta have every nuance spelled out for them, from cookie banners to not enslaving children. SMH

How about you butt out of server discussions unless you're a user of that server?

Defederate, and I would have said the same if you asked me yesterday.

Also depends on if the security was contracted. If so, then the hotel can ask for a personelle change but isn't responsible for their employment. The contractor would just relocate the guard if they don't fire him.
