Trump mobilizing up to 1,700 National Guard troops in 19 states to widen crime and immigration crackdown
Deployments reportedly set to take place largely in Republican-controlled states

The Trump administration reportedly plans to mobilize up to 1,700 National Guard troops across 19 states in the coming weeks to support its immigration and anti-crime crackdowns, a dramatic expansion of the controversial operation that’s seen federal agents and Guard troops carrying out activities across Washington, D.C.

The troops, who will largely be activated across Republican-controlled states, will serve in support of the administration’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations, as well as other law enforcement priorities, according to comment from unnamed Pentagon officials and documents obtained by Fox News.

The Guardsmen assisting ICE will be carrying out tasks that may include “personal data collection, fingerprinting, DNA swabbing and photographing of personnel in ICE custody," an official told outlet.

The deployments will take place across the following states: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, Ohio, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Wyoming, per Fox.

Texas is reportedly slated to have the largest deployment.

The Independent has contacted the reported states for comment, as well as the central National Guard leadership and the Department of Homeland Security.

All schools within the Beverly Hills Unified School District will raise the Israeli flag each year throughout the month of May as part of an initiative aimed at "combating antisemitism" and supporting the alleged state of Israel.

The original resolution cited support for "a Jewish state" as the primary reason for the display of Israeli flags. However, the language was later amended to reflect support for the "Jewish community" instead.

the world works on looks. looks are important. we human will always fully think and associate people with lighter skin color as looking better, better to look at, and is more beautiful/pretty/handsome.
we all also associate lighter skin color with being more feminine for women consider feminine. we can never change this. not a single thing anyone do and say will ever change this. you can never change how people think like this. man or women everybody think like this.

now then have and obvious answer. for the sake of use call it the “Blond Path". we need to produce white people with blue eyes and green eyes and blond hair and ginger hair. the quota would be 10 times the world population including the world population of whites with natural color hair and eyes. To do this we ignore or erase things that are a hindrance such as marriage, monogamy, family unit, relationship, and romance. Production does not stop there, we also need to group ethnic whites together with the same ethnic whites (Ex: Scotts with Scotts, serbs with serbs, and etc). Although this one is of a different program. This program also require us to get rid of the same hindrance the former program have. Both program do not see heigh, body or looks. As long as your face are not horrendous you are good, so even if your not handsome and beautiful you will still be in the program.

As part of the Blond path and to prevent dehumanization and other such unwanted idea,we will educate people. Specifically we will tell them about that one zoning infrastructure real-estate thing (I forgot the name of it) that put black and brown people in place were the chemicals,paint ,water ,walls and environment in general are doing things to their head (mind and brain) and body. In general everybody need to be educated about racist laws and myth and other such things. Other then that we need to eliminate race science and race bias in science.

In short. The world need to have industry level production of ethnic whites and more importantly whites with blue eyes, green eyes, blond hair and red hair because the world work on looks. But we also educate people so they don’t believe in race science and race biased science.

we must advertise this to every rightoid, boomers, and whites.

I am speaking as a brown.

Las Vegas (Quds News Network)- Las Vegas police, working with the FBI, Homeland Security, and Nevada’s Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, announced the arrest of eight men on Wednesday. One of them was Tom Artiom Alexandrovich, 38, a top Israeli cyberwarfare official.

Alexandrovich works directly under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He serves as Acting Head of Data & AI at Israel’s National Cyber Directorate. His job safeguards Israel’s critical infrastructure, including power grids, airports, and sensitive intelligence networks.

According to Las Vegas authorities, Alexandrovich and others were charged with luring a child with a computer for a sexual act. In Nevada, this felony carries a sentence of up to 20 years in prison.

Alexandrovich is the founder of Israel’s multi-million-dollar “Cyber Dome” initiative. The program uses AI to detect, neutralize, and repel cyber threats before they reach critical systems. He has deep access to Israel’s cyber secrets and classified partnerships with foreign powers.

His position makes him one of Israel’s most powerful cyber officials. Experts say any ally, including the United States, would normally monitor such a figure closely. He was in Las Vegas for a professional conference, not as a registered diplomat. He has no diplomatic immunity. Yet U.S. authorities allowed him to board a plane and return to Israel within days, without trial, bail conditions, or public explanation

Israeli outlet Ynet (https://archive.is/dtnCn) reported only that Alexandrovich was “briefly detained for questioning… before his release and return to Israel.” The report did not mention the felony charges or the multi-agency child predator sting led by US authorities.

Alongside this high-ranking Israeli official, these others were arrested in this sting:

Israeli official Alexandrovich skips US court hearing on child sex charges
Judge denies lawyer’s claim that Israeli official could skip arraignment for child sex crime charges in Nevada.

A senior Israeli official accused of child sex crimes in the United States has failed to appear for a scheduled court hearing in his case, weeks after he returned to Israel, prompting concerns that he may have fled to avoid facing trial.

Tom Artiom Alexandrovich’s lawyer, David Chesnoff, told the court in Nevada on Wednesday that he told his client not to attend the hearing.

“He was instructed by me that he didn’t have to be here,” Chesnoff said.

However, Judge Barbara Schifalacqua was quick to shut down the suggestion, stressing that suspects released on bond like Alexandrovich have “to make every court appearance”.

“I’m looking at his bond documents that indicate the court appearance that he was ordered to appear at was today,” Schifalacqua told Chesnoff. “And so your oral – I guess – request without anything before the court to waive his appearance here today is hereby denied.”

Alexandrovich’s case has been stirring controversy and making international headlines since his arrest was announced earlier this month.

South Africa has a more functional justice system than the US.

https://x.com/iwasnevrhere_/status/1960870376516264280
In South Africa, Israeli national Gerhard Ackerman has been sentenced to 12 life terms plus 2,530 years for orchestrating a child prostitution and pornography ring.

This was industrialized abuse: rape, compelled rape, the mass production and sale of child sexual abuse material, operating a brothel for minors, and trafficking children to wealthy clients.

Ackerman’s crimes are not an anomaly but a mirror, reflecting a settler regime that shields its predators with political immunity, and exports its rot abroad.

Outside Tel Aviv’s protection racket, the mask comes off, the “chosen” predator receives no diplomatic cover in South Africa, unlike what we saw recently with Alexandrovich, a senior cyber warfare official from Israel’s National Cyber Directorate, quietly flown home within 48 hours of his arrest in Nevada for cyber-luring a minor during the Black Hat conference.

President Donald Trump on Monday ordered the National Guard in each state to create a quick-response force to quell protests and deter crime after using troops to assist with security during immigration protests in Los Angeles and patrol in Washington, D.C., as part of a crackdown on crime.

He said other cities, specifically Chicago, should be asking him for help.

“I think we should really let them have their city, let their city go to hell” and then they will ask us for help, Trump told reporters at the White House during a news conference announcing several executive orders.

“These people [troops and federal law enforcement], eventually, they’re going to have to be appreciated for what they are doing, and they’re going to have to be appreciated by the officials that are really happy when we go in because they’ve lost control of their place,” he said.

The executive order about the National Guard signed Monday calls on Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to oversee “each state’s Army National Guard and Air National Guard are resourced, trained, organized and available to assist federal, state and local law enforcement in quelling civil disturbances and ensuring the public safety and order whenever the circumstances necessitate, as appropriate under law.”

Each state should find an appropriate number of troops to be reasonably available for rapid mobilization and have the resources and training needed to serve nationwide, according to the order titled, “Additional Measures to Address the Crime Emergency in the District of Columbia.”

More than a week ago, Trump deployed 2,000 troops from the D.C. National Guard and six supporting states onto the streets of the nation’s capital to stop what he has referred to as an emergency crime wave. However, D.C. police data stated violent crime is down in the city by 26% compared with last year — which had the lowest levels of violent crimes in 30 years.

Since Guard troops have been on patrol in Washington, there have been no killings in the city, Trump said.

On August 22nd, 2025, a massive explosion at Smitty’s Supply in Roseland—a small town in Tangipahoa Parish, Louisiana. Many of Roseland's 880 residents were evacuated as smoke blackened their homes and roads, and oil seeped into their water ways for miles. As of August 25th, 2025, Tangipahoa Parish authorities told residents they could return home, while many questions surround this explosion and their safety remains unanswered.

If you aren't familiar with the hoe-math content creator look him up. He makes good videos about the collapse of society due to hypergamy, but, none the less he leaves out capitalist in his analysis. What are our thoughts on such things? Like I believe that we need rules in society and such. But I also thinkt hat capitalism more than anything drives the collapse of society because profits are above all else. Like women walking around hoeing right now chasing 10s is because capitalism and the profit motive have perverted our society to the point it is at now. Liberalism leaves out a critique of capitalism in its analysis as does reactionism. Thoughts? Did china get it right?

The minimum wage increases ($15 now campaigns etc) started way before Sanders and were almost entirely kickstarted on the group by orgs like Socialist Alternative Party and Working Families Party.

Pretty much nothing else Sanders wanted has come to fruition and minimum wage increases happen in many states without public pressure anyway. Hell, even George Bush raised the minimum wage.

Instead what we got was a two time primary loser, and a two time billionaire as president, exactly what he didn't want.

I attended a few Bernie campaign meetings and it was very depressing. Mostly super old Democrats pushing 50+ mulling about and doing nothing. They'd hire a college student wanting debt relief, who in turn would bring in a few more college students to do phone banking. The social atmosphere of the campaign was dismal and there was no excitement.

Immediately after Sanders would lose and election, my local Sanders campaign office became a de facto Clinton campaign office. The upper class phone bankers who came for a bit of student debt relief were then ordered to start making calls for Clinton.

Both campaigns basically funnelled people into Clinton and Harris' campaign, the latter of which was the most right-wing Democratic campaign I've seen since Gore. She punched left and down, ran ads against even the smallest competitive left-wing electoral organization, and promoted a bill that defined "affordable housing" as $400,000.

The only organizational remnant of his effort weren't intention. The DSA seems to have benefited the most, seeing a 16x increase in membership over years. Even a cursory look at the organization shows a highly dysfunctional group of former Tumblr users who have no idea why they are there or what they want. Because they aren't a party, they just bicker about who to endorse all day, and now most of their alliances in state legislative bodies and Congress or either gone or dying.

Lastly, the Socialist Parties that do run their own candidates ran into larger non-socialist parties and there's probably only like a few hundred people in actual socialist parties nowadays.

To be clear, I also don't care.

>Additionally PSL's cultiness is explicitly etched into their constitution which states "all members who disagree are publicly bound to defend and carry out party decisions".

The full text of this section (Decision Making Process, 4.1) from the 2022 constitution reads as follows:
After a thorough discussion in any branch or Party body, at the Party Congress, or at a national internal conference, decisions are arrived at by majority vote of all full members present, except when otherwise noted herein.

All members, including those who disagree, are duty bound to publicly defend and carry out these decisions.

In an uncontested election and for a non-controversial proposal, unanimous consent may be used. This means asking if there is any objection, and if there is not, deeming the nominees elected or the proposal passed.

Oh no, they have internal votes and then ask members to uphold them even if they disagree.
Honestly, that seems like a reasonable thing to ask for a political party trying to avoid sabotage and public squabbles. It would be a shitty requirement for membership in a dance club, though. I probably wouldn't want to do this, and I disagree with the PSL on a number of fine political points, but I can't say I don't respect this about them. In practice, this is how a large portion of the (much, much larger) mainstream political duopoly operates, even if it's shadier about it… I can't really fault the PSL, who are much less evil, for adopting tactics parallel to those used by the duopoly to keep members in check.

PSL's hardline rules about carrying out party orders have been shown to be over-zealously enforced even if written somewhat minimally. I

t means you’re never just a member of PSL, you’re being watched constantly by PSL as a member, and even your casual online habits get scrutinized.

Imagine trying to build a life, have friends, or participate in broader movements while knowing your own party is combing through your social media likes looking for “wrongthink.” For a tiny cadre org, maybe you can justify that level of paranoia. But for a party that claims to be mass-oriented? It’s radioactive. Normal people take one look at that and see cult vibes, not politics. That’s why PSL is capped below 3rd or 4th place in presidential elections: nobody wants to live under a microscope just to hand out papers and repeat talking points.

I'm using "uphold" to mean literally the same thing. If you want to "uphold" democratically decided party decisions in some abstract, ethereal way which requires no personal compromise on your part, then what even are you offering to your party?

>Imagine trying to build a life, have friends, or participate in broader movements while knowing your own party is combing through your social media likes looking for “wrongthink.”

I have literally never heard about this until now. And I never got an answer for my
<No one denied it - out of what sample exactly?
question. I've seen a bunch of "scandalous" rumors thrown at this party specifically by twitterite dramaratis, and to date none of them have proven to hold any water. It comes across as the typical "Sanders supporters are misogynist" or "Labour has an anti-semitism problem" tier nonsense.

>Normal people take one look at that and see cult vibes, not politics.

I've been talking to folks in the PSL and about the PSL for over a year straight, and I've never even heard the specific stuff you're talking about. The idea that "normal people" are even seeing these rumors is laughable, although I'm sure that the drama people would like everyone to see the rumors.

>That’s why PSL is capped below 3rd or 4th place in presidential elections

The primary problem for the PSL has nothing to do with internal party policy, and everything to do with the way media institutions in the US deliberately ignore or slander parties outside of the two party system, and the way in which the electoral system is purposefully rigged to shut them out.

For those who don't know. And I guess most don't know since this board is like 'lmao weed' gen 'zer former 4channers, America used to have a Socialist Party that won partisan elections on their own ballot line.

This included two Congressmen in the early 20th century.

The party eventually committed suicide for many different reasons, after a slow decline in success, and those committed to continuing to run candidates formed SPUSA or Socialist Party USA.

While those familiar with SPUSA today may consider it among a basket of small socialist parties, for decades, the media used "Socialist Party" interchangeably to refer to SPUSA exclusively, mostly for historical reasons.

Their electoral history since their refounding in the early 1970s is dismal. Since then, they haven't won a single partisan race. Each time they won a local seat, which hasn't been more than 12 times ever, their party name wasn't on the ballot cuz it was for some school board or some shit.

tl;dr NO ONE is electing socialists under a true socialist party banner and haven't since at least the 1970s.

It's a political failure, and the whole socialist label is clearly a curse.

>IRV shouldn't be conflated with STV
I completely agree, in fact it is my tireless crusade to get people to stop using the braindead term "ranked choice voting" which easily conflates the two. An important poiint can be made which is reflected in the graph: Countries which use a combination of IRV and STV such as Ireland and Australia tend to have only a bit more overall party representation because their IRV bodies function to undermine the party-enriching aspects of their STV bodies.

>regional politics

Your observation is also true of Canada and UK, but the thing to understand is the trend actually still holds at a smaller geographic scope. While these countries have not yet degenerated to absolute two-party domination at a national level, if you look closer what actually occurs is there are typically still only two parties vying for power in a given discrete region.

>there are typically still only two parties vying for power in a given discrete region

no, and that's why it's not a law

In India, politics usually doesn’t follow the “only two parties vying for power” models. Elections in discrete regions are frequently multi-party races where three or more parties compete seriously.

For example, in Uttar Pradesh, the BJP, Samajwadi Party, Bahujan Samaj Party, and Congress all contest elections, making it a four-cornered fight.

In West Bengal, the main battle is between Trinamool Congress, BJP, Congress, and the Left parties.

In Tamil Nadu, both DMK and AIADMK are strong, but Congress, BJP, and smaller regional parties also play key roles.

Because of these dynamics, India’s democracy is considered a multi-party system, directly contradicting the idea that only two parties dominate a given region and a very powerful argument against what is just some guy's theory.
