Infographic altered by me from the New York Times showing four different groups of federal troops dressed in their little tough guy cosplay gear.

Text reads:
Making Sense of the Federal Forces on the Streets

With President Trump sending ICE, Border Patrol, the National Guard and other forces to U.S. cities, here's how to tell them apart- and what their powers are.

Maybe cosplaying military with your vest and rent-a-badge will make you feel like a big man!

If you peaked in high school and drink alone in your recliner every night while watching Fox News because you have nothing to contribute to society and everyone you love has left your sorry ass after realizing you have zero humanity or redeemable qualities, hey, could could always join ICE.

I try to move my body in a way that makes me feel joyful for 20 minutes a day on top of my normal walks with my dog. Today I realized I’ve always wanted to dance like the girl in the Groove Is In The Heart video, so that’s exactly what I did.

MORE JOY AND WHIMSY IN OUR LIVES PLEASE.

If you’re feeling a deep rage inside of you that kind of scares you but also feels like power, I can’t recommend Florence and the Machine’s “Everybody Scream” enough. The whole album.

Little things about being alive that are rad: When the sky looks like cotton candy and that first, refreshing breath of crisp air hits your lungs.

When a parrot wanted to connect with a distant friend, a touchscreen showed a selection of other birds available online. The parrots learned to activate the screen, designed specially for them, by touching it gently with their tongues rather than pecking aggressively with their beaks.
"We had 26 birds involved," said Hirskyj-Douglas. "They would use the system up to three hours a day, with each call lasting up to five minutes." The interactions ranged from preening and playing with toys to loud vocal exchanges.
"When we went through the data, we found that most of these parrots had favourite friends," said Hirskyj-Douglas.

Pet parrots which typically live alone (whilst those in the wild live in large flocks) were given the technology to call each other. They would use it for up to three hours a day, and developed favourite friends 💔

This is why they usually give shooters three names! “Lee Harvey Oswald” isn’t what his friends called him, it’s what the authorities released to avoid other Lee Oswalds getting mistaken. It’s weird they didn’t do it in this case.

Kirk didn't serve in the military or hold office. The war hero treatment -- half-mast flags, military guard, Air Force Two escort, calls for a statue at the Capitol or to lie in the Rotunda -- shows that for MAGA, service to Trump has become the highest, most honorable form of service.

Super weird that the guy who was Practicing Politics The Right Way somehow magically seems to have a following so racist against Black people that him getting shot by a white person in the whitest state in USA results in 7 Black universities receiving terror threats.

What's this got to do with us?!

It’s almost like letting young white men marinate their brains in an algorithm-driven toxic stew of nihilistic hate 24/7 and giving them ready access to guns is a bad idea

Telling myself “this is mildly inconvenient right now but you’re going to fucking HATE waking up to it in the morning” is a surprisingly effective way to make myself clean up the kitchen before bed.

Part of what keeps America so violent is the insistence that people perform care, empty goodness and absolution for white men who espouse hatred and violence.

Here are some things that Charlie Kirk said in his life.

The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.

A series of screenshots of tweets where (presumably) conservatives are declaring war on “the left” and requesting that Democratic politicians be jailed regarding the shooting of Charlie Kirk.

We don’t even know who fucking did it.
