This is what is disturbing my days and giving me sleepless nights. What we are doing is so evil AND so very stupid.

EXACTLY

Absolutely

Like, you know what I mean?

Metro Surge
Shield of the Americas
Board of Peace
Department of War

Like. These are names of things Sinestro or Mole Man should be discussing.

Everything these people do is named as if it's in a Silver Age comic book.

A sheriff wrestles with a protester wearing a helmet, goggles, and a mask for control of a shield in the street outside the Whipple Federal Building outside the Twin Cities.

Protesters wearing helmet, goggles, and masks carry shields outside the Whipple Federal Building outside the Twin Cities.

On March 1, demonstrators converged on the Federal Building outside the Twin Cities, temporarily blockading ICE inside it.

On one side of the building, fifty people established a shield wall. Sheriffs attacked immediately, but they held their ground for almost an hour.

A card in the game Bloc by Bloc, reading Chief of Police Fired —Reshuffle all other police ops cards —Then place this card as the first in the discard pile

In the game "Bloc by Bloc," which dramatizes the experience of participating in an insurrection, there is a "chief of police fired" card. When you draw this card, you gain nothing—you simply reshuffle all the cards in the police strategy deck and continue playing.

In short, Kristi Noem has not succeeded in achieving dictatorial control of the population of the US via DHS. Trump is trying a new strategy aimed at the same goal.

Thanks to the brave people of the Twin Cities and everyone all around the country who is fighting back.

This fight is far from over.

Los Angeles.

This false-spring here in MN is filling the air with mold.

Solidarity.

This is in Texas.

Phoenix, AZ

HERO

Yeessssssss

Solidarity.

Also having a really hard time.

Spent my therapy call yesterday yelling about cognitive dissonance and moral injury.

Lindsey Graham is never going to hear you calling him a worn out pillow queen. Noem will never hear you calling her a manipulative homewrecker.

But everyone else will.

Just, I wish there was tighter focus on the CORRUPTION and abuse of the Constitution.

I know the real issue is corruption, but the way folks SHAME Noem/Lewandowski for their sexual life (maybe adulterous, maybe open marriage) chafes me.

It's the same vibe as shaming hypocritical closeted politicians.

Corruption and hypocrisy end up excuses for slut-shaming and homophobic remarks.

Always!

Seattle.

"In the midst of the word he was trying to say,
In the midst of his laughter and glee,
He had softly and suddenly vanished away—
For the Snark was a Boojum, you see."

I am not screaming into the void, I am grabbing you by the lapels and speaking very calmly to you in a low, but urgent, voice.

Harrisburg, PA.

Got a report from Chicago
Somewhere in Michigan
I know it never stopped in Portland

Where else, y'all? Where the fuck else are folks being vanished, kidnapped, abducted by our federal government?

Reply or quote post, I want to know.

At least a couple people have replied that this is happening where they live - *and I had no fucking idea*.

Y'all, we need to be louder.

Yes, I know, that fucking guy got dog-walked into a war to bring on Armageddon, I GET IT, but if the apocalypse DOESN'T happen we want to be able to LIVE HERE.

Hah

Meanwhile in Minnesota, Homan's style of occupation has taken hold.

Yeah.

I don't know enough about it to make a solid analogy, but yeah.

Heh
