America's Sleeping Giant roared when police attacked civil rights marchers.

And after tens of thousands of young Americans were killed in Vietnam.

And when Nixon tried to cover up Watergate.

Today it roars once more — at the tyrant in the Oval Office.

WOW. A third of ICE recruits can’t pass a fitness test that I do multiple times a week, and I’m a 51 year old woke cat lady with a nose ring who loves a soy latte.

Lecturing active soldiers about being too fat while dropping standards so low for the ICE deportation force that a third of their recruits can't handle the easiest PT test I've ever heard of www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

More than a third have failed so far, four officials told me, impeding the agency’s plan to hire, train, and deploy 10,000 deportation officers by January. To pass, recruits must do 15 push-ups and 32 sit-ups, and run 1.5 miles in 14 minutes.
“It’s pathetic,” one career ICE official told me, adding that before now, a typical class of 40 recruits had only a couple of candidates fail, because the screening process was more rigorous.

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

Since 8 million people protested Tangerine Palpatine on Saturday, he’s doing everything he can to take back control of the narrative by getting you mad about bulldozing the White House and shitting on everyone.

Thank you, Judge Susan Graber for calling for an immediate en banc review in the 9th Circuit. Yesterday's decision must be vacated "before the illegal deployment of troops under false pretenses can occur.”

The military has no place in our cities.
