She just... she just did the math.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
If they try to federalize the nat'l guard everywhere before next Saturday we'll really be in it.

Thing is, these protests are SMALL. It's like a couple hundred people maybe, at the Home Depot?
There were more yesterday at the ICE building in DT. But still not that many. This isn't an insurrection, and even LAPD isn't doing more than keeping people away from the ICE teams.
But TFG wants more, so he's calling up the CA National Guard, so he can START something.

I suspect he knows there are big protests coming and he wants to scare people away from them.

I was supposed to meet a friend this morning to go take photos but it’s so hot and sunny we decided to cancel. Then I tried to go walk over to cheer my friends on playing soccer, but I’d written down the wrong location—they were across town. Oops.

Well, bummer, meara. I hope the rest of the day turns right way up, even if it's just, like, reading a good book with doggo on your lap.
We went out for breakfast at new place where the woman serving us totally turned around what was king of a meh welcome from the front staff. I mean, I don't ask a lot, but they were kinda... not interested, or something? It was weird. Maybe just overwhelmed. Anyway, we sat at the bar to eat, and she was just super great. Nice google review coming up, Demitra. Food was good, too.
Rainy day. Did some job application work, and now I'm going to read some.
