This is an open threat and it is (as it often is) an invitation for rogue wannabe “tuff guys” to do as their cult leader says. A Minnesotan legislator was assassinated by an Evangelical Trump supporter. The language he is using here is messianic. This rhetoric is reckless. We’re all in danger.

Cowboy Bebop has THE soundtrack and I’m constantly listening to it, but there’s something about both Yoko Shimomura and Joe Hisaishi that put me all in my feels, too. When I space out (often) I’m most likely thinking in bright colors and having a ‘ma’ moment. 🤓✨ open.spotify.com/track/2Cxe8q...

A lot of people condemned older veterans getting arrested, and rightfully so. Sometimes, however, the arrest is part of the protest. I believe this is our veteran.

“From a journalism perspective, this approach at least standardizes measurement and provides references to check our math, even if it doesn’t completely avoid the usual pitfalls of estimating crowd size…” I love data:

I don’t know, man. It really bothered me how our military was used; a mockery of our men and women in uniform. It just doesn’t sit right. Like this whole fucking parade thing is so ridiculous to me. So offensively vulgar. Anyway.

As silly as it may be, this song always makes me feel like I’m happily swimming in golden light and eating a handful of Lucky Charms marshmallows. If you get it, you get it. ✨ open.spotify.com/track/2QTDuJ...

Take care of each other. We’re stronger together, now more than ever. No Kings in America. No weaponizing our military against our people. ✊🏼

Full weight. Full pressure. This was unacceptable and fundamentally un-American. We are a messy nation, but we are not cowards and I think some have forgotten that. Full. Weight. On. The. Senate.

A few key points: - Senator Padilla is the ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration, Citizenship, and Border Safety - He identified himself as a Senator - Right before this happened Noem literally said she was there to liberate Los Angeles from its elected leadership

Really important story - army officials asked soldiers to identify themselves if they don't agree with Trump's politics that way he'd get only supportive soldiers in uniform during his political rally on base. Heavier soldiers were also barred from participating.

“The president cares nothing for the military, for its history, or for the men and women who serve the United States. They are, like everything else around him, only raw material: They either feed his narcissism, or they are useless.” Read 👇🏻:

We crossed a line of no return a long time ago. This is unraveling in real time and we do not have the culture or preparation to stop this. The United States knows how to do international coups (I say that with my whole chest), but for it to happen here? “Not here, this is America.” Yes. Here.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

Feeling really sick today and I’ve been sleeping all day. I feel overwhelmed and super off but this always makes me smile and cry and laugh. So vulnerable, so real. So fragile and strong and wonderful. “All comedy is derived from fear” is really a tattoo I need to get. Cookie cat for lifers. ✨

"It would have been unthinkable to the members of the 9th Congress that a bill enacted to prevent the establishment of a rival nation would be invoked to shut down a few thousand citizens peacefully protesting the arbitrary kidnapping of U.S. residents by heavily armed federal oprichniki."

“To clarify, the people who Trump thinks love this country, demonstrated by them loving him, are allowed to express that love by defacing a federal building they broke into and viciously assaulting police officers.” REALLY good morning read: www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

Watching Yo-Yo Ma and Mr. Rogers talk about music and emotions is one of the best things I could have seen on my FYP. Thank you, PBS. “You can imagine the swan…” ☕️✨🥹
