Somebody need to Jedi Mind Trick the gov and get him to know in his bones that EVERY National Guard in Cali is a homeless person doing cosplay.

 

The first few paragraphs.

WHITTIER, Alaska (AP) — They were born on U.S. soil, are entitled to U.S. passports and allowed to serve in the U.S. military, but 11 people in a small Alaska town are facing criminal charges after they tried to participate in a fundamental part of American democracy: voting.

The defendants, who range in age from their 20s to their 60s, were all born in American Samoa — the only U.S. territory where residents are not automatically granted citizenship at birth. Prosecutors say they falsely claimed American citizenship when registering or trying to vote.

The cases are highlighting another side of the debate over exaggerated allegations of voting by noncitizens, as well as what it means to be born on American soil, as President Donald Trump tries to redefine birthright citizenship by ending it for children of people who are in the country illegally.

Here’s what to know about the prosecutions in Alaska and the status of American Samoans when it comes to voting.

I sense a shift in Bluesky in just the last few hours. I said I Newsom shouldn't have rolled over and he needed to do something. A lib actually had the gall to tell me "What do you want Newsom to do?" I hate that argument at Reddit because talking more is most likely pointless. At Bluesky the character limit is so low that the "what do you want" gibe is the lib working hard to nuke the convo from orbit.

It was pointless but I said I wasn't a lawyer but of course Newsom could sue, delay, etc. No replies yet. And I assume I won't get any.

Edit

I was wrong. The lib made a couple thoughtful replies and said he wasn't a lawyer either. But he's trying to get me to wade into this shit.

It's not the california guard, it's the national guard of california. it is under the control of the state adjutant general...

I have no idea what the "state adjutant general" is. And I'll be fucked if I'm going to learn. Oh, well. That convo is over.

Yesterday at my computer - I spilled a significant amount of water from a pint glass. Some of it got into the recessed top of my PC tower where some jacks are. I tried to mop it up as fast as I could be I was a bit too late. The easy access headphone jack got water logged and the poor thing died. I use my headphones for my PC all the time. The good news is I can simply use a jack at the back. And I'm lucky it wasn't something like a smoothie. I can get ants and sugar inside my PC could become a problem.

The deployment of the California National Guard might end up being a first step if federal agents are attacked again in Los Angeles, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said tonight, adding that he might deploy U.S. Marines from Camp Pendleton in San Diego County to support federal law enforcement.

"They are on high alert," he said.

The idiots designed it so I can't link to a specific update. All I can do is link to the live updates page itself.

Newsom: "What you guys wrote for me - I mean crafted for me - is poetry in motion. Brilliant. Just brilliant. 5 stars."

Ace Consultant Inc ace consultants: "Thank, Gov Gav."

Let's try to get a stew goin' on the lathe.

Look, I'm all for peaceful protests. All for it. All for it. But fucking rioters are gonna get people killed.

I need a little help. "Get a stew goin'" must be at least 3 years out of date. What's the current equivalent?

Awwwwwwww! So heartwarming!

This NYT 17 second video has mesmerized me. For me it really has the vibe of raw footage of a rehearsal on a movie set.

As night fell, some demonstrators in Compton started to throw glass bottles filled with a substance that smelled like gasoline at the police. Some have barricaded themselves behind a dumpster. As some protesters slowly advance toward a police line, others are waving flags and beating a drum.
