At this point. This is the point. At which this should happen. Right now. Straight to mobilization.

If Americans know nothing else, we should know that racists in conservative states are absolutely serious when they threaten to send troops into woke states.

Pritzker is onto it

The physical transition from mid-30s to mid-40s is mentally difficult as things become . . . unfair. Parts begin to wear out, fail or break through no fault of your own, often without any apparent cause.

Steel your body throughout your 30s, then don't stop. If you ever stop moving after around 38 or so, for men at least, The Change occurs. It can be delayed into your early 50s *so long as you never stop moving.* But that means you can't sustain any serious injuries. Gotta be careful.

Sending troops from Texas to forcefully occupy and suppress cities in Illinois and Oregon IN OPPOSITION TO THOSE STATES' GOVERNORS is literally a civil war and it's cooking my brain that Democrats are simply pretending it isn't happening

Last November, a week after the election

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Never has a TV show been more due for a gritty reboot than this one

I love this so much

@StephenM on X: The issue before is now is very simple and clear. There is a large and growing movement of leftwing terrorism in this country. It is well organized and funded. And it is shielded by far-left Democrat judges, prosecutors and attorneys general. The only remedy is to use legitimate state power to dismantle terrorism and terror networks. 04 Oct 25

Here is Stephen Miler of the Trump administration targeting "far-left Democrat judges" and accusing them of shielding "leftwing terrorism." This was YESTERDAY.

@AAGDhillon on X: 🚨🚨🚨This @TheJusticeDept’s @CivilRights will not stand for a state court judge’s hasty nullification of our federal voting laws. I will allow nothing to stand in the way of our mandate to maintain clean voter rolls. One Citizen, One Vote! 🤨 05 Sep 25

Here is the Trump administration targeting Judge Goodstein specifically last month

Judge blocks South Carolina from giving DOJ millions of voters' data Sep. 3, 2025

Judge's house on fire

Judge Diane Goodstein crossed the Trump administration last month. Yesterday, her home burned, her husband was injured and it's being investigated for arson.

Just as a matter of fact, the U.S. dropped more bombs on *Laos* during the Vietnam War than were dropped during the entirety of World War II

ICE is hog tying protesters in Portland and removing them on Dollies.

This is dangerous and could cause serious injury.

The Department of Homeland Security thinks it’s a joke.

They’ve shared this video with the tagline “Refuse to Walk? We’ll give you a ride”.

Stay strong Portland.

This is total rambling dementia nonsense. He talks about calling Pete Hegseth a year before 9/11, when Hegseth was an unknown 20-year-old college student.

Just imagine the thermonuclear reaction -- not just from Fox News, but the legacy media sphere -- if any Democratic president said this about the GOP during a speech to a military branch.

Meanwhile, this won't even stay in the news cycle 24 hours, if at all.

I hate this so much. Anyone who believes this hasn't watched a single video of modern combat in Ukraine in which engagement after engagement is decided by drone operators, artillery, armor, air defense and intelligence in *addition to* infantry — all of which are underpinned by logistics.

1. "Compassion fatigue" is just you saying you're an asshole

2. People treat homelessness like an unchangeable law of physics instead of a basic public policy problem which can be — and has been — addressed and solved when adequate resources are allocated

If any other president was 57 minutes late to an event addressing service members, there would be wall-to-wall coverage on all 3 major cable news networks addressing whether or not the president cares about the military.

Have we considered not believing a fucking word they say, ever, without concrete evidence to back it up?

This is the logical endpoint of the far-right media echo chamber / isolation booth: a confused, elderly man has become president and, with Fox et al as the only source of information he believes, he thinks archival footage of things that happened over years is all stuff that’s happening now.

“Fuck your e pluribus unum” is one hell of a hell of a sentiment to be coming from the secretary of defense of, uh, the United States of America

They’re using American tax dollars to fund infrastructure in Argentina because that’s where they’re all going to flee when we kick them out of office

Yes, this is what civil conflict looks like. A running street battle with buildings ablaze downtown, while other people attend Timmy's 6th birthday party with a funny clown at a playground in a neighborhood two miles away.

Under Tom's rubric, nothing can ever be called fascism: If you are able to publicly call something fascism, then it is, by definition, not fascism. But under real fascism, you are also not able to publicly call it fascism. Very convenient!

This is like not calling the little malignant black spot under your toenail cancer until it's metastasized into your lungs and bones

Imagine if Biden had tried to federalize the Texas National Guard to halt Operation Lone Star, perhaps by claiming Texas was engaged in "rebellion."

Would a single legal commentator on the right have claimed that decision was unreviewable? I just fundamentally do not believe they would.

brutal lol

among the weirder Democratic tics is that it's unfair for their voters to have object permanence

@Sec_Noem on X: Chicago, we’re here for you.

If you showed this tweet to James Madison, he would be like, "yes, this is why I wrote the 2nd Amendment"

@StephenM on X: Legal insurrection. The President is the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces, not an Oregon judge. Portland and Oregon law enforcement, at the direction of local leaders, have refused to aid ICE officers facing relentless terrorist assault and threats to life. (There are more local law enforcement officers in Oregon than there are guns and badges in the FBI nationwide). This is an organized terrorist attack on the federal government and its officers, and the deployment of troops is an absolute necessity to defend our personnel, our laws, our government, public order and the Republic itself.

Everyone is trying to have a normal Saturday night and the president's top advisor is on X announcing that civil war is necessary
