This would be a recipe for disaster, but I’m curious about something. Hypothetically, if he sends Texas national guard troops to Chicago, could Pritzker call up
Illinois national guard to protect the people of Chicago? I don’t know enough about those laws.

Sure, Kamala Harris would have have preserved our global power and domestic prosperity. But she would have done so as a Black woman.

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

This guy is in one of the worst prisons in the world with no way out and may spend the rest of his life there because, it appears, he has an autism awareness tattoo in honor of his little brother.

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

I was so surprised to hear this podcast (new to me! Good!) talk about a lesbian avenger action I was a part of almost 30(!!) years ago. It’s made me pull out some old pictures and walk down memory lane. The whole episode is good, but avenger part is 41:05-46:37. #lesbianavengers

I am begging blue state governors to have lunch this week with your adjutant general of the National Guard.

Cannot stress enough how important this relationship is going to be in the near future.

Yes. Do this!
Arizona AG Kris Mayes, New Mexico AG Raul Torrez, and Oregon AG Dan Rayfield will begin holding Community Impact Hearings — a national series of townhalls "to hear from the public about the impact of federal firings and DOGE funding freezes across the country."

The first will be in Phoenix March 5.
