Is the guy behind the woman in white wearing a United States Coast Guard ball cap???

It shouldn’t surprise me, I guess. After all, the Guard returned Haitians to almost certain torture and death during the Duvalier regime.

Saving lives went from its primary mission to number four on the list.

There’s a huge subset of people who are more scared of the personal ramifications of believing it than they are of platforms being “manipulated by such evil people.”

Those folks don’t want to/can’t accept it because the platforms have become ubiquitous to their livelihoods and/or enrichment.
This isn’t just a political corollary to Groucho Marx’s “I don’t want to belong to any club that would accept me as a member.” It reflects a deeper truth about humans as political animals.

I strongly recommend reading @brianklaas.bsky.social’s “Corruptible.”
“Hey HusbandFathers, come get your girls.”
Can someone explain the GOP machine repeatedly saying that the protesters are predominantly white and female? I've heard that now post- #nokings like 5 times from different political contributors and its kinda weird. And so easily disproven...maybe the white part is true given the racial profiling
Is that like a contortionist? If so, you are multi-talented!
In the scope of things Trump’s done, demolishing part of the White House is low on my scale of his crimes.

That said, I do think that it’s a terrific metaphor for what the worst shit he’s doing and one I think will resonate with a lot of apolitical, right of center, heretofore inactivated people.
My biggest takeaway after visiting the Louvre was what a shit Napoleon was.

The rikishi are taking-in the town and doing what we all do when in London.
Seeing the sights, admiring the parks, shopping on High Street, taking tea at Fortnum's, using the olde phonebox, eating Chinese, and having a terrific time.
And that those questions are continuously asked and answered appropriately.
I’d add are our motives and aims aligned, or at least not at odds.
Which makes them untrustworthy as allies.

They’re not owed favors or favoritism. Use their fear, but never forget that they want a world entirely up to them.
Yes, as through this world I've wandered
I've seen lots of funny men
Some will rob you with a six-gun
And some with a fountain pen.

Retired Army Sgt. Brian Wofford spoke to me this morning at the Oklahoma City #NoKings protest. Didn’t expect him to be carrying his DD214 so I asked some warmup questions like when he got out and whether his injury was service-related.

He paused while describing the car bomb in Iraq to say this:
Answering the question “Do possums eat Oreos the right way?”
Since their guilt wasn’t proved beyond a reasonable doubt, under conditions of due process and adjudicated by a jury of their peers, all the people murdered by Trump and everyone on down the chain of command that included Admiral Holsey, were innocent.
Is this why that guy quit? Did he find out they killed innocent people
