Stephen Miller’s entire life has been building to the ecstatic moment where he gets to press a button and have some political dissident murdered. The ultimate power fantasy. He cannot be dissuaded from it, because he will always find his way back to it; it has the same magnetism as any other fetish.

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

Pritzker: "He wants to militarize major cities because he wants us to get used to the idea of troops on the streets. I believe he's gonna post people outside of polling places and if he needs to in order to control those elections, he'll assume control of the ballot boxes & count the votes himself"

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:
www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

PAY ATTENTION: ICE is filing fake 911 calls in Chicago, weaponizing emergency services to provoke local police.

Ordinary citizens would be charged with a felony. ICE calls it strategy.

Trump: "The problem with Vietnam, we, you know, we stopped fighting to win. We would've won easy. We would've won Afghanistan easy. We would've won every war easy. But we got politically correct. 'Oh, let's take it easy.' We're not politically correct anymore, just so you understand."

#bookquote today, from my #steampunk detective story that mixes magic and, well, mayhem, in this case from a booby-trapped teapot. #booksky 📚💙 #writing

Text reads: A Magical Attack: Joan gathered her talent again, felt the prickles at the back of her neck that always signaled her full power, and set loose a bolt through the her shields at the teapot. The magical bolt bounced off the teapot, staggering her. Her fingers dug into the wooden table for support. Bottomis the cover of A Hanging at Lotus Hall by Corrina Lawson, with a Victorian teapot graphic.

The regime is acting this way because there are no consequences so it is clear that consequences—the development of them, the advocacy for them, the imposition on bad behavior—are the answer to our crisis.

Medicaid money has gone to hospitals to reimburse them for medical services after they followed the federal law signed by Ronald Reagan in 1986 that says hospital emergency rooms have to treat everyone, regardless of their ability to pay.

It is all about trying to keep all of us scared all the time. It is what fascists do. These American fascists are no different.

Those of us with any sort of privilege MUST stand up. We must not turn away from what we witness. We need to document it and share it.
