I do wonder if they'll make any motions to change that timeline given the appeals court stayed the district court order to return the NG to Newsom's command AND we now have evidence of possible PCA violations by Marines. Time will tell I suppose.

Would love to know her response to Austin PD's very aggressive response to protestors earlier this week, because ngl, she's saying the right things, but recent history says her officers don't practice what she is preaching.

I had my infusion for my RA this morning and feel like a fleet of busses ran me over, was napping, then snuggling my dogs, then saw this 🤬

Right! Did not SCOTUS just have to grant that a family could in fact sue the FBI for a wrong-house raid because that didn't fall under the fed govt immunity from civil liability and damages? It can't be both immune and subject to damages at the same time 🤷♀️

I descend from a long long line of "hillbillies" (legit from the mountains of WV back before the Revolutionary War). This is not the insult you are trying to make it, but also, why do we have to play PR games when they commit crimes against humanity?

I've got no horse in that race and feel like this isn't the time for that debate. Regardless, a LOT of people still get most of their news from all of the legacy media and I really need all of them to be doing actual reporting instead of spinning BS for this admin. We already have Fox for that.

They want the circuit court to act tonight so they can go to SCOTUS if necessary tomorrow morning before Breyer's stay expires. Whining and begging for rushed judicial action because they got smacked down hard basically.

Now. Not so much/consistently at the beginning of the week. And that's 3 publications, with a notable absence of any of the legacy/mainstream broadcast media doing the same thing. MSNBC, CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS, etc, all dropping the ball big time.

Seriously 😩 I did not have international vaccine tourism on my bingo card for this round of stupidity in the WH and yet here we are...

Possible, for sure. But a lot of the initial research for most pharmaceuticals isn't done by Pharma, it's grant-funded stuff at universities, which is being gutted. There's no profit margin to be had in early stage research like that.

Intelligence is not something I've really come to associate with this administration, alas.

FIFA sadly is ridiculously corrupt. The last world cup was in Qatar. I hold zero hope they'll pull games from the US, but they really should. The IOC maybe is more likely to act? Maybe? 😬

Direct Action and Civil Disobedience have many layers.

The amount of "I want to keep politics out of my smut, okay?" I got in response was physically painful. I finally gave up after pointing out eventually they will come for our right to own and read said smut too, but it was like talking to an apathetic wall.

I love that. I kept repeating "you can't want to read stories about gay/queer men falling in love with one another written by queer ppl, then turn around and vote for the party who explicitly wants to take rights away from those groups, and pretend one has nothing to do with the other."

They do. They think *they* and their base are the oppressed people. It pains me deeply as a lover of musical theater, literature, history, and this country 🤦♀️

As do I. And the idea that they'd go Dem for Newsom has me absolutely dying. It is the laugh I needed this morning 🤣

I've been trying to explain this to people in a book discord group I'm in ever since Nov when some of them got upset that queer authors who write queer romance were making it very clear that they didn't want Trump voters in their fb groups, buying their books, etc.

Fair enough. How about you keep your Debbie Downer attitude out of the way of those of us who still want to fight for our friends, family, communities, freedoms, and country? You're absolutely allowed to have that viewpoint but dragging others down with you doesn't help anyone.

Sure would be nice if the major American media outlets made sure to make that clear instead of *helping* Shitler's narrative about all of LA being chaotic upheaval 🤦♀️
