Republican governor Phil Scott of Vermont said, “I don’t think …the military should be used against our own people. In fact, it’s unconstitutional,” Scott said. “Unless, of course, there’s an insurrection, much like we saw January 6 a few years ago.”

Unbearably violent images from Downtown Chicago where a classical music concert was played on the Chicago River. This is too elegant and magical to be seen.

1/2 A reminder to anyone who was RIFed.

💯 you do NOT deserve this.

Quick tips if you do get a RIF notice:
❌ Do not send a read receipt
❌ Do not respond right away - the union will probably provide language for response
✅ Forward notice to your personal email

The GOP might try to disinter them, grind up the bones, and make a special calcium supplement for Dr. Oz to hawk.

The Republican Party wants to turn the clock back to the Middle Ages: A hungry, diseased, and ignorant population ruled by Kings and their appointed nobles.
