Underpaid National Guard members hone gardening skills as they mulch D.C. parks, pick up trash, stand around occupied D.C. More than $1 million per day wasted providing the regime with photos of materiel and “warfighters” posed before monuments.

Yes, first learned of this from Adam Kinzinger. One more "gift" from an administration that has cut benefits for veterans, not least their suicide prevention operations. Thanks for laying it out for everyone to see.

I really don’t understand why the soldiers are following his orders.

Maybe the National Guard could start policing rogue masked ICE agents who aren't giving people their due process of law. I hear it's easy to order an ICE uniform online and if that's not an accident waiting to happen. . .

Yet how many of those Guard members voted for the orange buffoon?

Pretty crappy thing for drumpf to do, but it fits his persona. Screw who he can. And he does. Maybe they’ll think twice and decline the next mobilization.

Republicans are heinous people. Don’t ever expect fair treatment from them or Trump. Ever!

The AFL CIO protest has a slight slant towards worker's rights, while the MayDay protest leans more into civilian rights. Each speaks out against the Trump Regime.

Both have marches and rallies, while the AFL CIO is also hosting picnics and parades. They each share some of the same local events. Why not attend both?
