Frogs in slowly heating water is a popular allegory for being unaware that you are being destroyed in an incrementally worsening situation.

But I'm drawing hope from the past week that we frogs may be a bit more aware of our situation than those allegorical frogs. #Hop

Donald Trump’s administration doesn’t respect the Constitution.

But they’re learning that Illinois does not and will not bow under their tyranny.

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase.

The President is building an army to attack his own country.

I was surprised the first time I visited Europe (when I was in my late 20s) what a mutt I was. Also, it surprised me how fluent even small kids were in languages I had studied in high school/college.

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

It scares me that the US is horny for "offensive cyber operations" against China, as if they didn't lay off almost everyone responsible for coordinating cyber defense, decided not to pay the rest, and can't even get their critical infrastructure providers to patch 20 year old vulnerabilities.

This is the reality of Donald Trump’s America.

Another parent of a U.S. service member gets deported.

On his way to pick up his pregnant daughter.

While wearing his “Proud to be the father of a U.S. Marine hat.”

This is cruelty as policy.

This Family Visit to a Military Base Ended With ICE Deporting a Marine's Dad

A U.S. Marine says his parents were detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials after they visited a California military base and one of them was later deported

Trump is responsible for the soybean and beef farmer chaos we are watching unfold right now. Now, he wants to buy beef from Argentina, hanging our farmers out to dry. Until the GOP breaks from him on his mission of economic arson, they're #ArgentinaFirst

The eternal pressure for a woman: to have hands the size of bears in the textin' and hands the size of pixies in the pocketin'.

Sarah O'Connor @sarahoconnorft.ft.com · 15h

For women, the problem is compounded by stupidly small pockets. Women now live in a world where phone manufacturers think we have hands the size of bears, while jeans manufacturers think we have hands the size of pixies. pudding.cool/2018/08/pock...
