We will see, but I think "Thousands" may be underselling it. The estimate is that there were 800 protestors in Las Vegas earlier this week. That was organized on relatively short notice. This one has been planned for a while.

I've been saying this so much lately that the word feels like it is starting to lose meaning, but this is terrifying.

This is all true, but it does not go far enough. Both this attack on Senator Padilla and the remarks Kristi Noem were making in that speech are utterly unconscionable. Kristi Noem should be removed and everyone else involved held appropriately accountable.

I bought every Exalted 3E book currently available that I didn't already own.

Good. That is a good thing to do. But don't stop there. Kristi Noem should be removed as quickly as lawful process permits.

This seems to justify at a minimum the removal of Kristi Noem as quickly as a the legal process permits.

I absolutely agree with everything here, but it would appear that you may be one of the people best positioned to help put it to an end.

This is beyond horrifying. It is a clear attempt to use executive power to subdue legislative authority. Every person involved, particularly Kristi Noem should be held accountable using every lawful mechanism to do so.

This is deeply disturbing. Actions such as these must be halted immediately using every lawful process if we want to maintain a functional democracy.

I knew a second Trump term would be bad. I voted against him every single chance I got. I have to confess, I didn't realize it would be **this** bad. Apparently, neither did many of his (hopefully former) supporters.

The Bill is deeply unwise and apparently also deeply unpopular.

Merrick Garland is a superb lawyer. It just so happened that he is also a cautious and careful lawyer (usually good things!) at a time when it would have been better for the country to have a lawyer in that position that was prepared to act as quickly as the process permitted.

Trump's term should end even sooner than that. There are abundant reasons to impeach right now. Orders to deploy active duty troops in response to protests and the handling of the Abrego Garcia matter are the two biggest though definitely not only reasons.

To be fair to Trump, whether a phone call happened yesterday, or two days ago, or three days ago is something I could get wrong while speaking extemporaneously. That said, it is appalling how some reporters are bending over backwards to make it seem true, and Trump does lie often.

Evidence would be nice, but I find it far easier to believe Gov. Newsom than Pres. Trump in a disagreement.

Our democracy may possibly be at risk right now, but the threat is not from the protestors.

Our First Amendment guarantees, under ordinary circumstances at least, the right to peaceably assemble and to petition the government for redress of grievances. That very comfortably covers, under ordinary circumstances, the right to protest in the streets.

It appears that he and many others in the Trump Administration have just been making shit up for a bit.

A power grab like this would justify impeachment by itself. There are no shortage of other items to add to articles of impeachment.

This is beyond repugnant.

Considering how it ended, this novella could really use a sequel.

I hope not. Having the Democrats publicly embrace Musk just because he has turned on Trump seems deeply unwise as a strategy and morally questionable when Musk has not exactly disavowed his prior morally reprehensible actions.

Trump's actions are absurd. Even setting aside the fact it is the morally right thing to do, it is in our national interest to support Ukraine.

Unless there was some reason that walk was unusually dangerous, this is obscene. The parents were letting their kids be kids in exactly the way that helps kids learn to eventually be adults.

And the ability to grow coffee or cocoa beans in the U.S. is *very* limited. Things like lithium are much more readily available in places other than North America.
