1/ To those even slightly swayed by the idea that these invasions are reasonable let me ask you: with all the problems facing us the last few months, did you once wake up in the middle of the night & go “Wow, we really need to do something about what’s happening in Albuquerque.”

2/ Of course you didn’t. You’ve worried about Covid, the economy, your kids and more; situations about which govt indeed has needed to spend its resources. But invading Seattle? A multi-city landing of federal troops? For what?!

3/ American cities have not been ablaze in violence - & whenever there’s a problem, state Governors can call out the National Guard if they wish. But they will be now. Thousands of protesters are arrayed & will be arrayed for one reason only: to tell the feds to get the hell out.

How many black lives need to be taken before you allow the feds to help?

Protesters with guns? Surrounding the "fed forces" ?

These troops are a distraction ... a last ditch effort to associate Democratic Governors and Democratic Mayors ... with ... violence ... and violent people ... However ... perhaps it will get us to the 3.5% we need for major change!

What exactly is your answer, today, that will actually make a difference? Yes,1000's of protesters make great visuals, but what changes? The same 1000's are marching by neighborhoods in desperate need of help. The least you could do is carry garbage bags & clean up. Fake sympathy

True. Regardless of party affiliation, it is time to stand on states' rights.
