Every year, for the last few years, @fallenlights.net and I get pumpkins to put out with our wildlife cameras.

The process has yet to disappoint.

Adelita Grijalva won her election to Congress over two weeks ago, but Mike Johnson still hasn't sworn her in.

Why the delay?

Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.

meanwhile I just can't stop looking at that human train wreck and remembering he got famous for being a "rapper" fronting in a metal band.

The dude was outclassed by Fred Durst...which is possibly the saddest thing I've ever said about a person.

But of course.

Now we wait for the incitement to violence from ICE/police towards protesters or minority groups for their pre-planned justification for it.

Don't give them what they want.

Ever.

Mike Johnson’s position is young pregnant American women shouldn’t have to wait before being turned away to die in the parking lot from an ectopic pregnancy the hospital is afraid to treat

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 2d

Mike Johnson: "If you're a young, pregnant American citizen women who shows up in an ER and you get treated and they pay the hospital less for treating you than some illegal rabble rouser who came in from some South American country to do us harm, that is wrong."

it's become painful
to laser in on reality
i used to curse my faulty eyes
now i'm glad i have the option
of soft focus
i'll chance the sharp edge
of the coffee table or the embrace
of the doorframe
rather than stare into
the circles of hell wrapping us
in the ugliest history has
to offer

What consistently boggles my mind about these intra-state Guard deployments is that the numbers never match the claim of urgency. "Portland is burning down" so you are sending... two, maybe three companies?

Every time I read something like this, I remember "Jade Helm"...

Republican "leadership" has no moral imperative to stand against -actual- tyranny. For them Everything is, and has always been, performative.

Moreso if they believe they can personally profit from the performance.

Statement from Illinois Governor JB Pritzker

This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate.
We must now start calling this what it is: Trump's Invasion. It started with federal agents, it will soon include deploying federalized members of the Illinois National Guard against our wishes, and it will now involve sending in another state's military troops.
I call on Governor Abbott to immediately withdraw any support for this decision and refuse to coordinate. There is no reason a President should send military troops into a sovereign state without their knowledge, consent, or cooperation.
The brave men and women who serve in our national guards must not be used as political props. This is a moment where every American must speak up and help stop this madness.

It's that way on purpose, for the reasons you're thinking of.

They Want us to fear them and anyone who looks like them. They'll keep pushing until there's nothing left to lose by those they target with that fear. Then they'll claim innocence and "just following orders" like that means anything.

Aah...but protesting the same place/people habitually leads to patterns being recognized and disrupted by The State.

If you're talking about decentralized protests, the protests themselves become much easier to infiltrate by State-sanctioned provocateurs.
