The way that the Trump Admin responds to protests is literally like a narcissistic bf.

Instead of saying: “I’m sorry babe. How can I make you feel safe and happy?”

They say: “Wow, I can’t do anything right, can I? Guess I’m just the bad guy again. If I’m so terrible, why don’t you just leave?”

Mike Johnson: "This hate America rally that they have coming up for October 18? The antifa crowd, the pro-Hamas crowd, and the Marxists, they're all gonna gather on the Mall. It is an outrageous gathering for outrageous purposes ... all this has gotta come to an end."

Judge Perry expressed concerns about certain info submitted by federal officials in the Chicago case, citing questionable actions & claims by DHS.

Perry said the mounting evidence suggested that “DHS’s perceptions of events are simply unreliable.”

The sweet smell of precedent.

Governor JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov · 2d

Donald Trump is not a king — and his administration is not above the law.

Today, the court confirmed what we all know: there is no credible evidence of a rebellion in the state of Illinois.

And no place for the National Guard in the streets of American cities like Chicago.

U.S. District Judge April Perry just temporarily blocked the National Guard in Chicago and ruled the Trump administration's deployment of troops violated the 10th & 14th amendments, as well as the nearly 150-year-old Posse Comitatus Act.

I think my nervous system knows that discussing the arts is as vulnerable as it is creating them, and treating those discussions as strategic and rapid-fire as opposed to intentional and personal makes me really uncomfortable afterward.

My least favorite thing about entertainment journalism is the length of carpets/junkets. Having a mere 20 minutes to discuss a person/team’s entire creation and what it means to them is so-

Idk being rushed through & out of those conversations leaves me with so much anxiety. Esp when virtual

Interesting way to normalize the explicit exclusion of non-citizens from the First Amendment.

I just went through U.S. customs and as I stood in line, nervously, I watched the citizenship application advertisement and noticed something weird in its messaging:

“Be free to worship what you wish,”
“Be able to vote In elections,”
“Become a U.S. citizen today.”

Wait rewind.

Omg I just realized I was on my third cocktail last night in the Dominican, posting about “Josh Bryan’s” new anti-ICE anthem.

Please I know his name is Zach, but I went to high school with a Josh Bryan (definitely a Trump Supporter), making that error even more embarrassing.

Christians want to legalize conversion therapy — despite it directly correlating with higher suicide rates — because their religion believes in its moral authority.

Okay, cool. I expect they’ll maintain that standard for Sharia-based punishments, gender segregation and animal sacrifices then.
