Coast guard island is where you send the national guard when you want the guard troops to be "trapped" by protesters. The island is closed to civilians. There is only one bridge. The federal agents will have a reason/excuse to violently clear protesters in order to get troops over the bridge.

The government’s shut down. Trump and Republicans are:

—Demolishing part of the White House to make room for a $200M golden ballroom
—Trying to send Argentina a $40 BILLION bailout
—Refusing to swear in Rep-elect Adelita Grijalva
—Buying Kristi Noem 2 luxury private jets

Americans deserve better.

You gently run your hand through the rack. You can feel it—pure cotton, rich wool, Irish linen. The plump buttonholes are handsewn; the buttons attached with a firm shank. You flip the price tag over. It's affordable

You buy the jacket and go home, which is only 15 mins away. Your apt is $600/month

Unfortunately the warnings were ”being cops” and “having tear gas”

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems... SIMON: What? SHAPIRO: ...Or saying... SIMON: You imagine that? SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over. SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level. SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this. SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

These people are evil. Never stop saying so. Don’t be intimidated into shutting up.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

FBI Director Kash Patel * ® @FBIDirectorKash X.com BREAKING: MSNBC still an ass clown factory of disinformation. Same circus animals that slobbered all over perp walks of Stone, Navarro, Bannon... MSNBC has no facts and no audience In this @fbi, follow the chain of command or get relieved. & Barb McQuade @ @BarbMcQuade • 15h DOJ policy prohibits "perp walks," in which arrestees are paraded before the cameras.

Among other things, it remains extremely weird that the [checks notes] director of the FBI uses phrases like “ass clown factory” in public statements posted on his official account

Who Goes Nazi?, by Dorothy Thompson

Every few months now I re-read this "Who Goes Nazi?" piece from 1941 and am blown away by how it captures the people we are dealing with 80 years later.

Oh my.

The superintendent they just kidnapped is a former Olympic athlete who runs footraces with the kids from his schools while wearing a maroon suit and a bowtie. This is quite simply about the people in power feeling threatened by Black excellence.

Do any of the professors or journalists or teachers also get their jobs back or nah
