Trump is preparing to go after Antifa, waiting for them to make a move. Antifa is preparing for riots in major cities. Since Portland is their headquarters, it seems essential that the National Guard would be in Oregon.
Governor Kotek is in panic mode releasing news every day on her opposition. Portland Police are working with Antifa to criminalize federal agents. "Out in Oregon, the Governor, the mayor and police are all part of Antifa." Shan Davis explains, "Once you understand that Portland police is Antifa, everything else it does and refuses to do suddenly makes sense." If they are part of Antifa, they are part of the insurrection.
Antifa has been hired to create a civil war. Kotek has been telling people to stay calm, all the while she is still promoting Antifa to start a civil war.

My dad used to scout them along our rural road and once went to someone's door and asked "may I pick your shaggy manes?" He said she looked horrified. Only then he noticed she had long, thick, noteworthy hair and he beat an embarrassed retreat.

It's a thrill to find them early and edible. One of my favorites.

Heed these words:

The words “terror networks” here are ominous as they can be used to implicate, intimidate and punish very nearly anyone whose views, donations, charitable work, political work, etc are defined by them as supporting those they oppose.

Stephen Miller again lashes out at the judiciary, suggesting federal judges are aiding and abetting domestic terrorism:

Kavanaugh recently suggested immigration stops are no big deal if you're a legal resident bc ICE just promptly releases you

That is not, in fact, what ICE does

He invents a fiction bc the reality of the policies he supports is too disturbing for him to imagine

Brett Kavanaugh’s Racial Profiling Opinion Is Looking Sillier By the Day

Kavanaugh said that immigration agents “promptly” release people after determining that they are legal U.S. residents. They don’t.

That guy. He also provided cover for comprehensively abusive Mars Hill pastor Mark Driscoll and helped him start a new church. The more you research him the worse he gets.

My addendum to that from 75. If you slow down and keep a look out, joy can catch up with you. Chasing it doesn't seem to help.

I've always wondered how many of the kids born to the women in John Updike novels had fetal alcohol damage -- the rich kids who keep getting kicked out of one private school after another.

I did that! I loved that little perch.

Even in World War II, most troops were nowhere near combat and it mattered not one bit if they were in tiptop shape and chock full of lethality. My dad got his wartme exercise shoveling snow between the hut and the outhouse in the Aleutians. They also played a lot of chess

See, the hard truths of Te-Nehisi Coates below soothe me far more than the mushy moderation of Ezra Klein debating him. I grieve that the LGBTQ+ rights we fought for are being whittled away but Coates reminds me to take pride in what we accomplished and to keep pushing. The struggle continues 💚

i love this part and i think it very much shows the difference in depth of thinking between someone like Klein, desperately fighting in the here-and-now and arguing to win a battle with compromise, versus Coates' position that he is a soldier in a long war.
