THIS!!! I can not understand why people are not so much more furious that our internal government systems and data have been fully compromised by people with NO LEGIMATE ROLE in our government! Game it out. Why and what is next?

It's remarkable how many journalists don't know what an executive order is. English is not the official language of the US govt any more than it was a week ago. An EO is no more than the President's directive to exec branch officials about what his policies and what he directs them to do.

If you notice ice where people have been walking on the snow it's created by a process called sintering. Partially melting the little flakes and then they refreeze and get compacted and you get ice. It's how glaciers are formed. #weatherwisdom

If you rely on fed services such as social security, Medicare/Medicaid, airline safety, clean air & water, disaster response, search & rescue, or enjoy things like national parks, you really need to contact all of your congressional reps. These services are people dependent & in very real danger.

There are now 955 cases & 60 deaths from an unknown illness in DRC (links below). As this outbreak is growing, CDC is not permitted to exchange information with WHO and USAID outbreak response support is banned. Yesterday the Supreme court “paused” a federal judge order for USAID payments to resume.

Garvey designed the African American flag, which looked like the Italian flag, [with] red, black, and green. But it is so abstract, so pure, that the masses were frightened by it. I made my flag because they needed one like the U.S. flag but with black stars instead of white ones. — David Hammons

I know what you're thinking: "But the magic of my enemies is weak, and their gods are hollow idols!" But what if I told you... that your enemies are thinking the same thing... about YOUR magic, and YOUR gods?
