Texas is preparing emergency resources for wildfires and floods. The Texas National Guard should be THERE — not in Illinois.

We stand ready to support their return home so they are best positioned for helping Texans respond to any natural disasters.

For the record, one of the reasons I say this is that I have met members of Mia Farrow's immediate family who are on record as saying that they would never believe anything she said about anything. ANYTHING.

The saddest part of this is that some people are going to use her death only as an opportunity to dump on Woody Allen.

A First Lady who lied about having a college degree on her immigration application, who is married to someone who rapes children and arrests his political opponents, and has a "back door channel" to an evil despot who kidnaps children and assassinates his political opponents.

Incredible.

My favorite show as a kid, by a long shot, was Mork and Mindy. I identified with Mindy (smart, independent, unswayed by expectations for women) and I crushed on Mork (funny, weird, thoughtful, kind). I had the rainbow suspenders and I wore them.

I do think it would be amazing if hundreds of protesters just showed up dressed like ICE. They’d be absolutely baffled, they’d have no way to tell who’s who. They’re all dressed in off-the-rack Cabelas clothes since they don’t seem to have a standard uniform so it’s easy.

something quite brain-melting about the hard right's position apparently now being "we hate all Muslims and distrust Muslim states, aside from that one Muslim place that still has slavery because that sounds fun"

About bloody time. The only thing that will save the State of Israel at this point is rejecting Netanyahu and all he's done to its reputation and its collective consciousness.

When Obama was president the right wing acted like masked government agents were coming to kidnap them and take all their rights away.

Then Republicans get elected and actually do that shit for real.

So then you're left with Mike Johnson as President. This is my point. No one is fucking planning ahead. They're just taking a series of steps that are EXACTLY what the framers of Project 2025 *want* them to take.
