The White House is raging at "untrue smears" as D.C. residents mark ICE ‘kidnappings’ around the city.

"ICE ABDUCTED SOMEONE HERE,” read one sign tied to a telephone pole + date and time of the arrest, along with contact info.

Kudos to these D.C. residents! 💙👊🌊

I've read this same passage at other times and it absolutely rang true couched in the midst of fascism rising.

Now it's like *gulp*

Ok, did not expect “The Lion The Witch and the Wardrobe” to feel quite so relevant to this moment.

Here’s Edmund, deciding to side with the leader who he’s been told disappears people.

He did want Turkish Delight and to be a prince (and later a king) and to pay Peter out for calling him a beast. As for what the Witch would do with the others, he didn't want her to be particularly nice to them - certainly not to put them on the same level as himself; but he managed to believe, or to pretend he believed, that she wouldn't do anything very bad to them, 'Because,' he said to himself, 'all these people who say nasty things about her are her enemies and probably half of it isn't true. She was jolly nice to me, anyway, much nicer than they are. I expect she is the rightful Queen really. Anyway, she'll be better than that awful Aslan!' At least, that was the excuse he made in his own mind for what he was doing. It wasn't a very good excuse, however, for deep down inside him he really knew that the White Witch was bad and cruel.

OH PLEASE

If Soros were really handing out checks to pay protesters, Republicans would run as Democrats just to get in on some of that money.

One of the reasons progressive mayors and local officials scare the establishment so much is that without a complicit local politico, their goals become less and less achievable without the use of glaringly obvious physical force— thus requiring bigger and less plausible lies as justification.

soo funny story... book of revelation describes all the participating countries who war in the final days. scholars are hard pressed to find the USA in those descriptions. project 2025 plan is to make that a reality by dismantling the country on every front & selling it for parts to china and russia
