During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

I knew Fox News was theater. I just didn't realize it was a repertory theater that recycles actors for different roles.

You'd think a company that had to pay $787,000,000 for deceiving its viewers would be a little more careful about blatantly continuing the practice.

Some folks can't see the fascism, and so they have false optimism that causes them not to act against it.

Other folks see the fascism, and they feel so hopeless that they don't act against it.

What we need is a combination of the ability to see things honestly as well as to be empowered.

On the flipside there are people fighting fascists while dressed as chickens so maybe there's some hope for the future after all.

There's never enough under capitalism, and the natural conclusion to that is we've become a nation of joyless soulless bitter shitheads.

Ok yinz, who is wearing what to the No Kings protest next week?

Can you put into words what that purpose is? You and the frog have really become icons of this protest.

There’s been a nice overall whimsy that has shown up. The frog is amazing. We had a bunch of other inflatable people here last night, too. I saw people playing Twister the other day.

What they rely on is fear. So by coming out in an absurdist manner, it speaks to them, to some extent, that we’re actually not that afraid.

It also dismantles their narrative a little bit. When they try to describe this situation as “war-torn,” it becomes much harder to take them seriously when they have to post a video saying [U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security] Kristi Noem is up on the balcony staring over the Antifa Army and it’s, like, eight journalists and five protesters and one of them is in a chicken suit.

Just learned that the word "frank" originally meant superior which I guess explains why the French are as about as they are.

Star Trek's beam technology is clearly based on Tesla's transportation device created for Angiers in The Prestige, so we can assume outer space is littered with thousands of dead, frozen duplicates of USS Enterprise crew. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

Eh, I'm sure his handlers have contingency plans in place but hopefully those ride on Vance who has the charisma of a soggy fart. No one is going to follow him down the fascist hole.
