During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

"well what are the Democrats supposed to do" I don't know! They're supposed to know! I'm not the one who sought and obtained a political position that would require me to know what to do when the ruling party attempts to install the President as a dictator!

RFK Jr: The cure for sodomy is quite simple: exercise and organic foods. Our conversion camps have a 100% success rate.

Hakeem Jeffries: More lies from the ruckus boys. You had to cook the books to get that number.

A billion dollars is the socio-political equivalent of a loose nuke, and we should work as ruthlessly and diligently to prevent the acquisition of the former as we do the latter.

“The problem with billionaires isn’t that they’re hoarding money that would otherwise pay for a Scandinavian social utopia. It’s that their money has become a source of wildly distorted political power that allows a few men with extremist views to wreak havoc on the rest of us.”

Billionaires Are Hoarding Power, Not Money

Billionaire money has become a source of wildly distorted political power that allows a few men with extremist views to wreak havoc on the rest of us.

Got them a lil window hammock

An orange kitten (Gar) stretches up to investigate a new gray hammock, which already contains a chunky gray kitten (Trout)

Trout is reaching down to Gar, who is now sitting on the window sill. Trout has his paws on either side of his brothers face, imploring him to come up and play

Both kittens curled happily in the hammock, looking up at the camera

Alt text:
A collage of four tweets from Matt Walsh (@MattWalshBlog) discussing concerns about artificial intelligence.

Top left tweet: Walsh warns that within a year or two, people will be able to create indistinguishable fake videos for defamation, and that nothing is being done to prevent this.
Bottom left tweet: He says AI will destroy jobs, art, reality, and civilization, yet no action is being taken to stop it.
Top right tweet: He criticizes AI-generated films as soulless and meaningless, saying art requires human expression and that AI will be the “death of art.”
Bottom right tweet: Walsh argues that if a robot paints a picture, the robot is the artist, not the person prompting it, because the robot lacks consciousness and meaning.

The thing about these masculinity grifters is the comical disconnect between rhetoric and reality. The "legacy" will end up being a drop shipping business with a squarespace website or something. Not exactly Charlemagne.

Statement from Illinois Governor JB Pritzker

This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate.
We must now start calling this what it is: Trump's Invasion. It started with federal agents, it will soon include deploying federalized members of the Illinois National Guard against our wishes, and it will now involve sending in another state's military troops.
I call on Governor Abbott to immediately withdraw any support for this decision and refuse to coordinate. There is no reason a President should send military troops into a sovereign state without their knowledge, consent, or cooperation.
The brave men and women who serve in our national guards must not be used as political props. This is a moment where every American must speak up and help stop this madness.
