The number of assaults on law enforcement in ONE DAY on January 6th is higher than the number of assaults on ICE officers over a decade.
In 2018, the DHS OIG published the following statistics for assaults against ICE enforcement and removal operations which were considered serious enough to merit criminal prosecution.

Over a four year period, Fiscal Years 2014-2017, that amounted to 28 cases charged in federal court. Total.

Robert “Ed” Smylie, the NASA official who saved the Apollo 13 crew in 1970, has died at 95. He cobbled together an apparatus made of cardboard, plastic bags and duct tape after an explosion crippled the spacecraft as it sped toward the moon.

Georgia bans organ donation of someone who died w/o their consent—but Georgia’s 6 week abortion ban is now forcing a brain dead woman to stay alive w/o her consent because she was 9 weeks pregnant when she went brain dead.

Even a corpse in Georgia has more rights over its body than do women & girls

1. The person was under 16
2. Multiple reports suggest there was more than one victim, including girls "12 to 14"
3. When asked about it Rose said, to a reporter, "It was 55 years ago, babe"
4. Children under 16 legally cannot consent. There is no such thing as "consensual sex" here
5. Fuck off

The navy told me their fighter jets keep sliding off the USS Harry Truman so I asked how many jets they said they just go to the pentagon and get a new jet afterwards so I said it sounds like he’s just feeding jets to the Red Sea and then Pete Hegseth started crying.

An adult who uses a racial slur against a 5 yr old is a very bad person who deserves social exile. I don’t care what the five year old did. HE IS FIVE.

The fact that this woman has now raised nearly $1 million as “the victim” in this situation is the lowest low I’ve seen in a very long time.

Amid all the other news, it's easy to become inured to the basic facts here. Öztürk:

-Is not accused of committing any crime

-Is nonviolent

-Was in this country legally

-Merely engaged in speech that the administration objects to

-Has been locked up for six weeks
Now from Öztürk’s ACLU lawyer Esha Bhandari:

“Rümeysa Öztürk’s case is unprecedented and shocking. She has been held behind bars for six weeks while her health deteriorates for writing an op-ed.”

It's unwise to leave them offerings. Be wary of any gifts they give - there is always a catch. Never give them your full name. This works on SO MANY LEVELS.
Nobody can convince me American cops aren't the LEO equivalent of the Fey. They can get a conviction on you after raiding your house by mistake because they were holding the map upside down, but will fail to convict you after they found you wiping the murder weapon clean on the victim's clothes.

Being President is unskilled labor. Being in Congress is unskilled labor. If a frail 80-year-old clinging to consciousness by their fingertips can do it, it is unskilled labor.

A reminder that every small bit of good you do - whether it be putting art into the world, helping a friend or stranger, donating to a good cause, or just listening to someone who needs to vent - offsets all the evil in the world just a little bit. And sometimes that's just what the world needs.

A minor can be charged as an adult at the age of 13 in Mississippi. Fix your heart or die.
A transgender teen cannot change his name, the Mississippi Supreme Court ruled in an opinion that repeatedly misgendered him and referred to him as a "minor female" and "young girl."

Both parents backed their son's request for a name change.

Pritzker sounds off the political equivalent of Jerry Maguire’s manifesto, "The Things We Think and Do Not Say".

He is going to be a force in the days ahead.
Pritzker: The reckoning is here. And now that this culture of timidity is on display, these same do-nothing Democrats want to blame our losses on the defense of Black people, trans kids, and immigrants, instead of on their own lack of guts and gumption.

So RFK says that autistic people don’t pay taxes
And then Dr Oz says that everyone has a responsibility not to be a burden
And now we hear there will be an autism registry so that the trumpers can keep track of all the genetic criminals

You and I can see where this is going.
