Apart from everything else... the dollar coin while yes is legal tender is a novelty coin. This is from 2010, but I don't think much has changed. I'd argue I see dollar coins even less often now. It's illegal and a waste of money.

I lived in a dictatorship (Myanmar). Many of the things that are happening in the USA are similar to what I experienced there. Myanmar's been a dictatorship for 63 yrs, which means they have more systems in place to repress citizens than the USA does...but give it time, at this rate we'll catch up.

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram.

It's his base that is likely to stage that coup if he drags on the shutdown. Of course the Epstein files matter or he wouldn't be trying so hard to cover them up

Release the Epstein files. He can't shut the government down forever. That's how coups start.

Good news National Guard, you’re being shipped halfway across the country to mostly stand around in cities where everyone hates you. What’s that? Oh no you’re not getting paid for it because the government is closed

National Guard members supporting ICE operations working without pay during government shutdown Thousands of National Guard service members on active duty in the U.S. and worldwide are not being paid during the government shutdown.

National Guard troops who have been federalizing are not getting paid because of the Repub shutdown of the GOV

No worries - Trump will make sure they get paid, just like he stiffed all the others who worked for him

ok I didn't mention this in my piece on friday but one of the things the judge asked about was whether the guardsmen were going to get paid during the shutdown

the doj was like "idk"

the state of oregon was like "we looked into it and the answer is no"

K-Pop Demon Hunters is legitimately the global cultural phenomenon of 2025 and honestly there are far worse things to be a cultural touchstone this year than a trio of young women fighting literal soul-sucking hegemony through the power of their art

There’s just not enough attention being paid to how unqualified, psychologically unfit, and dangerous so many of these new ICE hires potentially are.

If we had a Congress, there’d be investigations & oversight into this.

JD Vance retweeted Adrian Vermeule, America’s leading disciple of Nazi jurist Carl Schmitt, complaining that ‘judicial interference with legitimate acts of state…is a violation of the separation of powers.’ This underscores idea that courts better watch their manners.
