      Attached: 1 image Keep your eye on Trump's attempts to use the National Guard to put down the protests in Los Angeles. Yesterday he praised the National Guard for doing this - but the 2,000 troops he ordered to the area haven't even arrived, and it's not clear to me that they're even en route! Instead, it was Los Angeles Police Department and ICE agents involved in the fighting in the neighborhoods of Compton and Paramount. I have long thought Trump would invoke the Insurrection Act to federalize the National Guard as protests against him grow - thus reducing the power of state governors to stop his actions. Instead, the directive signed by Mr. Trump on Saturday cites another law: https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/06/department-of-defense-security-for-the-protection-of-department-of-homeland-security-functions/ This allows the president to control National Guard forces if “there is a rebellion or danger of a rebellion against the authority of the Government of the United States", and use them "in such numbers as he considers necessary to repel the invasion, suppress the rebellion, or execute those laws.” From what happened in Hong Kong and elsewhere, I'm not at all optimistic about violent street protests being able to stop an authoritarian regime. Instead, the regime thrives on violence, since that's a sphere where it has the upper hand. The regime will also try to tip nonviolent protests into becoming violent by using excessive force and/or propaganda that claims the protests are more dangerous than they actually are. Here are 198 methods of nonviolent action compiled by Gene Sharp in his book The Politics of Nonviolent Action: https://www.aeinstein.org/198-methods-of-nonviolent-action (1/2)

      Attached: 1 video A military Blackhawk just dropped dozens of boxes of weapons & ammo onto an L.A. street — “as if they were getting ready for a major battle.” Carts of flammable munitions. This comes as Trump deploys 2,000 National Guard troops to California, calling protests “rebellion.” This isn’t de-escalation. It looks like preparation for a fight — against the people. #press

      “This inital use of federal troops in a blue city should be understood as an effort to build pressure to help pass the bill. It should also be used as an example of the danger of passing the bill — the kind of authoritarianism that Miller intends to wield if the bill does pass.” [contains quote post or other embedded content]

      Reports and video show flash-bangs thrown into piles of debris just before a car caught fire, strongly suggesting it was law enforcement, not protesters, who sparked it.

    So, I happen to think that #Astronomy is very keen, and I love it and will talk about it rather a lot. There are probably thousands of other people who have posted information and explainers and resources, but just in case some folks haven’t seen those, I’d like to post some #IntroToAstro recommendations and resources.

    One of my first recommendations tends to be Stellarium (https://stellarium.org/). It’s free! It’s like having a planetarium on your computer! There’s a simpler web version!

Via Alt National Park Service @altnps.bsky.social: The proposed Trump budget is brutal, unless you’re the military or Homeland Security.

    #Monsterdon Oh yeah, this film has a heroine, nearly forgot her. She’s predictably frightened. Otherwise these scenes of strolling through various landscapes exchanging quips might lack urgency.

    So of course I wanted to be a scientist when I grew up. I found out early that I didn’t have the stomach for biology, but I became fascinated by the stars. I grew up in the age of Carl Sagan and many others, who wanted the knowledge and practice of science to be made accessible to everyone, a democratization of disciplines. Through heavy reading, I also gained respect for many, many other fields of study, and the place of research and academia in the modern world.

    How strange this is. I was born in the year that the first humans - who were, not incidentally, citizens of the U.S., landed on the moon. My parents had jobs in academia and research, which had received great boosts during the Space Race. I was brought up in the tradition that science, while a two-edged tool, was a strong route to develop society if used well. One parent’s work was in health science research - a minor role, but part of what I saw as the great human enterprise of progress.

    The writing was already on the wall, had I the eyes to see; but I was blinded by idealistic views of my childhood. Meanwhile, Carl Sagan was writing the “Demon-Haunted World” - you know the quotes. My cousin was working on health effects of passive smoking, and ran up against the tobacco corporations & their scientists/deniers-for-hire. The Space Program was cut back and back in order to kill more people in Vietnam & elsewhere… & people were starting to forget vaccine-preventable diseases.
