Because I do not see it repeated on my TL nearly enough:

To hell with the Trump regime for sending National Guard into DC for absolutely • no • reason • whatsoever • except inflaming the situation. They’ve been desperately waiting this whole time for something to blow up and some troops to get harmed so they’d have an excuse for more escalation. Hurting troops was the goal. The •goal•.

And now Epstein’s off the front page. They’ve got to be over the moon.

Sometimes I think people’s opposition (well justified!!) to war and the military-industrial complex makes them lose sight of the class dynamics in this situation:

Military service, National Guard and otherwise, is a pathway to steady pay, to health care, to something resembling the fabled middle class. The Trump crowd can treat the National Guard members as if they are disposable political props in large part because of class dynamics.
