The fact that every right winger with influence screams "who is paying for all of this" tells you exactly how awash in cash they all are, and how much they rely on that to keep their movement afloat.
James O'Keefe says he's never seen anything so organized as the anti-ICE movement, observers--he seems to think this term is code--everywhere he goes. Who is paying for it??? he demands to know. It's like he can't even imagine people caring for one another.

Alex Pretti was an American hero. He saved lives. He protected people. He cared deeply about his community, unlike the murderous thugs who killed him.
The very last thing he did was try to help a woman who had been pepper-sprayed and violently shoved to the ground by ICE. 1/

This is the first comic I ever bought! Excellent cover and a feast for my 6-year-old eyes.
Teen Titans no. 34 (Aug 1971) cover by Nick Cardy. The horror-influenced covers continue on this final 15 cent issue. Gothic horror was in the air, and the Titans fell under its spell 😉. It should go without saying, but it’s another gorgeous Cardy cover.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

AOC: "How rich is it that she is saying showing up to the scene of a protest with a legally owned weapon should be grounds for a person's death, execution at the hands of the state, by the same party and administration that praises Kyle Rittenhouse."

We are not the first people, or the first country, to suffer under a tyrannical government that does not respect our lives, or our rights.
There is a method for how to effectively resist, and eventually topple, such a regime. We can learn from others who came before us.
This is my favorite guide.

I love how most of these so-called "patriots", who once desperately feared a tyrannical government infringing on their constitutional rights, currently gargle the balls and lick the boots of an actual tyrannical government only because they're going after, and murdering people they hate. For now.

Watching 'The 99 Year-Old Man', and learned that when Mel Brooks lost his wife, soon after, Carl Reiner lost his, and the two friends spent most every night in Carl's living room with TV trays, watching TV and movies. Then, for about a year after Carl died, Mel kept going to the house. I'm in tears.

There has been an increasing sense in Minneapolis that we are on our own, that our elected representatives are unwilling and/or unable to take action to get these murderous Nazi thugs out of our community. I really hope that changes today. The time for pleading TV hits ended weeks ago.

Mr. Governor,
This has gone beyond a 'strongly worded phone call or social media message,' don't you think? Your citizens are putting their bodies on the line to protect their cities, neighborhoods, and homes. Use the Minnesota National Guard to protect *them*.

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.
The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

IC1848 - The Soul Nebula. I am officially blown away by the detail in my first real SHO image. This is just 30 mins on each filter. I can't wait to see the results when I get several hours on it.
