The Convicted-Felon-in-Chief is deploying military in major U.S. cities to slowly get us accustomed to soldiers on our streets. Democrats are speaking out against this authoritarianism—when will Republicans realize the threat to our freedom?

A screen capture from the television show Star Trek the next generation features Picard and Ryker sitting side-by-side having a dialogue. Picard: I'M GOING TO START TEACHING SHORT PEOPLE MATH. Riker: WHY? Picard: IT'S ABOUT MAKING THE LITTLE THINGS IN LIFE COUNT. Riker: *facepalm*

I’ve heard Tom Petty’s THE WAITING countless times over the years but only just this morning did I hear the line, “Every day you see one more card.“ It’s a beautiful metaphor and I am struck anew with an appreciation for his genius. #music #claasicrock

Screen captures from the tv show Star Trek: The Next Generation with new captions. Captain Picard and Commander Riker are seated side-by-side. Picard: I fired the janitor for smoking pot. Riker: Why would you do that? Picard: Because I can't stand high maintenance people. Riker: *facepalm*

Judge correctly rules: protests are NOT insurrection. Therefore NO presidential authority to mobilize the military. https://flipboard.com/@npr/u.s.-news-aspd61boz/-/a-xOphPw7ZRbK_HTdE8qN5sw%3Aa%3A3195441-%2F0

Extrajudicial executions of civilians. This is not my idea of an America that values “law and order.”
