If the National Guard is really in D.C. to protect federal
property, they should probably have been at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. two days ago

"Some days are a crystalized scream. They tell us in no uncertain terms that we have been taken hostage by a malignant force that rejects not only our laws and values, but our history and memories. They tell us that the battle has both grown harder and has become more necessary. Yesterday was one."

This dark chapter means “taking pride in marching thru crowded streets, holding tightly to America’s aspiration of freedom for all & refusing to be indifferent. And…it means honestly confronting the danger we face from a reckless regime & its malignant boss.”

Confronting the Ongoing Onslaught
Trump's East Wing demolition, demands for $230 million and the ongoing murders in the Caribbean Sea are the latest reminders that we must remain vigilant and push back

Finally: If Trump is hinting or outright demanding that DOJ give him $230 million in claims, how can any official who might be needing a pardon later say no to him? Reinforces the picture of all this as a kind of criminal syndicate. Raskin is strong on this here:

Here’s what his campaign’s former political director—“former” because she quit last week after the Reddit posts came out—had to say about it yesterday.
I've run out of self-restraint, worse than when the guys on the train to Boston were fan boying over Reds Eats. The DC consultant class has fucked up our US Senate race again and you all need to stop snipping at each other. This is seriously the dumbest timeline. Graham has an anti-Semitic tattoo on his chest. He's not an idiot, he's a military history buff. Maybe he didn't know it when he got it, but he got it years ago and he should have had it covered up because he knows damn well what it means. His campaign released it themselves to some podcast bros, along with a video of him shirtless and drunk at a wedding to try to get ahead of it. The vault is open for the GOP to fucking crush any dreams we had in the general and literally everyone I know is fighting with each other on social media. We cannot be this painfully stupid.

Read the short Substack and call the construction company to let them know we will lobby for this monstrosities demolition at the first available opportunity…AND we will make them pay for it since they did not obtain the proper permits for the job.

Rand Paul: "When you kill someone, if you're not in a declared war, you really need to know someone's name at least. You have to accuse them of something. You have to present evidence. So all of these people have been blown up without any evidence of a crime."

This is an opportunity to think more expansively and creatively about the institutions that you already regularly interact with. How can you leverage your connections to support others?

Something else everyone can do who has school aged children is to talk to your school principals to see if they would be open for example to hosting some community dinners at the school. So perhaps 2 times a week they can be open later and volunteers can cook on premises. I did this in college.

ICE agents greeted by a hero on arrival in New York this evening.

Make statues of this.
A woman in what looks like business attire with a black handbag over her shoulder stands in front of an armed vehicle flipping the bird with both hands. Unfortunately a friend sent this to me, I don’t know who the hero woman is or the photographer

It's true, tho.

If you had a nazi phase, 1) glad for the past tense but also 2) you could be more ashamed of it. Use it as an example of how maybe you should question your choices cuz holy shit it's NAZIS, what are you DOING.

Folks are lucky if being "judged" (oh no so scawy) is all they get.

Indeed. There are something like 260 million voting age citizens of the USA. If the pool is that big, the odds are strongly against nazi tattoo guy being the last great hope.

"Oh so there's no path to redemption?" Sure there is. Most paths to redemption don't run through the U.S. Senate, though. Go, live a good life. Farm oysters. Diminish and go into the East and be an always improving Graham Platner. Do not be a Senator. And remove that fucking tat.

I honestly don't think centrists believe anything at all. Just as I don't want to see a "mainstream" presidential candidate who hounds homeless people and abandons trans people, I don't want a "progressive" Senator with a Nazi tattoo. The uprights aren't narrow here. This shouldn't be hard.
