OBAMA: “People make excuses for him. They say he’s not serious. Everything a president says is serious!”🔥

Help me figure this out... Noem sends a letter saying she will end the chaos in Minneapolis if Minnesota capitulates to her demands.

So she's got her hand on a "Stop" button? So the continuing chaos is not the Democratic leaders' fault, like they've been saying? It's her fault?

This is the pattern. Indiscriminate terror, beatings, abductions, threats, murder. The ICE officers not only poorly selected, undertrained, over-armed, and anonymous, but egged on in their indiscriminate violence by their superiors all the way up to the White House. 1/

It's surprising how many people that alienates.

Philadelphia Sheriff Rochelle Bilal warns ICE:

"No law enforcement professional wears a mask... Those that come into our communities wearing a mask to commit crime... You getting arrested".

"Fake wannabe law enforcement... The criminal in the WH will not be able to keep you from going to jail".

Disappointing? I search Submittable for places to send my #poetry and #flash #fiction. Filter the list for "No fee" and every one on the list demands a fee.

Customer support confirms. They only have to put the demand for fees in a different field.

Pretty useless.

3) Bondi tells Congress she can’t release the files because it’s an active investigation.

Took him long enough, but thank god he finally did.

Fear has a way of being contagious.

But courage is also contagious.

When I worked on The Office, Greg Daniels had a list of questions he asked of every story. Some were show-specific (eg “Are we saying something truthful if exaggerated about office life?”), but many are applicable to any script. Here’s a little thread on them…
