Remember that books are going to be harder to find. Public libraries might be something that they go after. I know that food is #1 priority, but knowledge should be in your top 5.

Please stay safe and please educate yourself.

Is Portland Burning?

No. See real-time Portland cameras, PulsePoint incidents, and sourced fact checks.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Reposting just to celebrate the moniker Tangerine Palpatine.
Outstanding.

Buried in the polls, with every American screaming for the Epstein files, the walls are closing in on Tangerine Palpatine.

Sending troops to every city you can in a desperate attempt to make martial law happen is not strength. It’s the last gasp of a dying regime.

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka.

I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws.

Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

Not only should the Dems refuse to cave on the shutdown; they should announce they won’t vote for a budget until: (a) the military is withdrawn from every American city where it’s been deployed; (b) the budget forbids the use of any funds for that purpose; AND (c) the healthcare demand already made.
