“Can you show us a video of Portland in flames?”

Is a question someone needs to ask the frickin’ President of the United States.

The indictment of Letitia James makes clear that calling it an attempted coup is no exaggeration.

This is not a border crossing.
There’s no law that any of us have to show our papers on the interior.

This is a blatant civil rights violation. How is anyone supposed to know whether this man is a real ICE agent or just pretending to be one?!

Debbie Brockman was taken by ICE. She is a citizen and a journalist. Where are the local police, state troopers, the TV station attorney's, and Governor Pritzker getting her release??

I refuse to let hopelessness prevail. This may just be one essay, by a lawyer few have heard of, in a newsletter read by a fraction of the public. But I will not stay silent.

I give you the Veil Nebula, C33. A very difficult object for me to image as it is just above the fence line.....so best I could do.
Such a beautiful structure. Imaged with the Seestar S50 from Melbourne.

Our ancestors must be rolling in their graves; they didn't fight and die fighting fascists just for their descendants to turn around and vote for them. Whatever happened to "Lest We Forget"? It would seem many people have forgotten. We should be wearing the poppy year round to remind these people.

Canadians come from a long and proud line of fascist fighters.

Adelita Grijalva won her election to Congress over two weeks ago, but Mike Johnson still hasn't sworn her in.

Why the delay?

Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.
