I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

There is ample evidence the Republican leadership do not understand what is appropriate or necessary.

These are thugs not police. They are traitors to humanity and the constitution. They are morally repugnant.

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram.

Every day brings a new story on Trump destroying anything good in this country. I fear there will be nothing left.

I want to live in a world where flags are lowered for people like Jane Goodall. She worked tirelessly to make the world a better place.

Interesting that Trump doesn’t consider the agency (BLS) that puts out the jobs report as essential employees during the shutdown. Is there any chance if he thought the report was going to be good on Friday he would be furloughing these workers and refusing to put it out?

Jane Goodall was my first childhood hero, as I loved animals as a kid and was inspired by her story. I still remember the National Geographic specials about her. RIP.

Jane Goodall reaches out and touches a small monkey.

If you’ve never seen the comic, here it is:

Far Side single-panel cartoon by Gary Larsen. It shows two vaguely chimpanzee looking creatures on a branch. One is grooming the other, and pulls a light hair from his fur, saying “well, well— another blond hair… conducting a little more research’ with that Jane Goodall tramp?”

This post prompted me to Google “Kai Russell height”. I am happy to report the Google AI didn’t know the answer. It did seem to complain that Market Place didn’t publish personal details. Although Google did know that Kai enjoys a good IPA.

How the generals react? What are they supposed to do? I would expect them to give no response whatsoever. Up until the moment Trump gives them an illegal order. Then I would expect/hope they fulfill their oath and protect America from enemies to the constitution; foreign and domestic.

I was never in the military but going public without authorization might be against UCMJ.

Oh the irony. Democrats want people to not lose their healthcare and Republicans say that is akin to holding a gun to somebody’s head.

If you have body cams turn them off because we are about to do authoritarian/illegal stuff.

This is...just wow. Huge implications. "If you have body cams, turn them off."

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka.

I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws.

Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

I feel naive just writing this, but a president threatening to withhold funding to a city unless it elects his preferred candidate for mayor seems like the sort of thing that shouldn't be legal.

Trump on Mamdani: "He is going to have problems with Washington like no Mayor in the history of our once great City. Remember, he needs the money from me, as President, in order to fulfill all of his FAKE Communist promises. He won’t be getting any of it, so what’s the point of voting for him?"

Self proclaimed New York City Communist, Zohran Mamdani, who is running for Mayor, will prove to be one of the best things to ever happen to our great Republican Party. He is going to have problems with Washington like no Mayor in the history of our once great City. Remember, he needs the money from me, as President, in order to fulfill all of his FAKE Communist promises. He won’t be getting any of it, so what’s the point of voting for him? This ideology has failed, always, for thousands of years. It will fail again, and that’s guaranteed! President DJT

This is not law enforcement. This is a government sponsored terrorism. I hope he wins all their money.
