Totally irrelevant observation, but this is what competence and badassery looks like in a normal, unadulterated, too-old-for-your-shit woman. She's the walking talking opposite of today's Rebuplican ideal.

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

PRESS STATEMENT: Simply unacceptable behavior by the UN, stopping this escalator while PM Tuxley II stepped onto it aside his wife, Lady Beakatrice.
We will tariff & fire anyone who dares suggest these ramps never move, and we will SUE the lunatics who almost broke Lady B’s angelic features.

The truth of the matter is that if anyone but Charlie Kirk had been killed at today’s shooting, then Charlie Kirk would be out there right now using the shooting as pretext to deliver arguments designed to make sure that the next shooting would happen, and the next one, and the next, and the next.
