Donald Trump is not a king — and his administration is not above the law.

Today, the court confirmed what we all know: there is no credible evidence of a rebellion in the state of Illinois.

And no place for the National Guard in the streets of American cities like Chicago.

For reference of Portland frog facing off ICE art being made.

Photograph at night of a 2-3 deep line of feds in tactical gear and sheilds outside the ICE building in Portland. Facing them alone is someone in a green and white belly frog outfit.

Why are so many world leaders so afraid and deferential to Israel? 🤔

Keir Starmer’s spokesman asked about Israel detaining British citizens who were on the Gaza aid flotilla, while in international waters, replies that it is a “matter for the Israeli Government”

the hardest part of living in Portland is having your house burn down every single night and then having to rebuild it during the day. the amount of money i spend just in drywall is insane.

Trump: Portland is burning to the ground—insurrectionists all over the place. The politicians are afraid for their lives. That’s the only reason they say there’s nothing happening.

Our local beer garden now has a new kitchen popup with housemade corndogs and duck fat frites.
It was 73f in the sun.

Pro tip. If you're a realtor trying to sell a house. Light a candle, open a window, air the place out a bit. Especially if the previous owners had lived there for fifty plus years and had quite possibly died in the house.
