While the National Guard was called up during some of the Vietnam riots, the Insurrection Act was not invoked. During my lifetime, January 6th, 2021 is the only time I believe the Insurrection Act should have been used.

a small cream colored dog stares up at us. this is Boksil, swaddled in a grey robe, and tucked underneath a thick blanket on a bed. her little paws poke out of the robe's sleeves, and her toe beans are in full view. her tiny pink tongue mlems from her grinning mouth.

a higher angle of Boksil. a small yellow pillow rests beside her for scale, and her eyes are closed peacefully as she rests swaddled under a white blanket, looking very cozy.

This is Boksil. She is reaching levels of cozy previously unheard of. 12/10 a trailblazer (IG: with_bokdanji)

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

IN HONOR OF FRIENDSHIP MONTH:

djt: "We have certain things in common, Jeffrey."

Epstein: "Yes we do, come to think of it."

djt: "A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday- and may every day be another wonderful secret."

And by "wonderful secret", he means raping children.

Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s.

This is what real journalism should do — hold power to account, not capitulate to it.

People in airplane. Pilot over the speaker: “this is your captain speaking. We may hit some turbulence as I write ‘Marry Me Samantha’ in the sky for a few extra bucks.”

We can’t out-Republican Republicans, nor should we want to.

Democrats need to say what they believe — and actually believe in something.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson:

"Private establishments can partner with us to make it clear that private property is private property and ICE cannot enter establishments without a valid warrant ... If Congress will not check this administration, then Chicago will."

If U.S. states have any degree of sovereignty, if there’s any states’ rights at all, it is the right not to be invaded by the armed forces of another U.S. state.

It's increasingly clear that the president lives in a constructed bubble of unreality designed by aides who are manipulating him in order to take control of US policy. Seems like an important story - wish media would cover it.

Hostility towards Greta Thunberg continues to be an AMAZINGLY reliable red flag, especially when it comes to guys, and not just on the Right.

At what point does a governor call up their National Guard to oppose the deployment of an out-of-state National Guard?

Men. Impersonating ICE.

To assault women

NO MORE MASKED ICE!!!

BOOM 🔥:

Judge Immergut issues a second Temporary Restraining Order prohibiting the relocation, federalization, or deployment of ANY NATIONAL GUARD FROM ANY STATE into the state of Oregon.

The wealth of the top 1% reaches a record $52 trillion All wealth groups saw gains over the past year, according to recent Fed data. But the growth has been fastest for those at the very top.

Let’s call this what it is: greed.

We don’t have to accept an economy where the top 10% can buy a second yacht while working families live paycheck-to-paycheck. A union contract is how we level the playing field and get our fair share.

Anyone Surprised?
