Even the hard right crowd in the Bush '43 Administration are now disgusted by the actions of the Frankenstein's monster of an agency that they created.

Imagine being such an asshole that you are incapable of imagining a community banding together during hardship to make life *slightly* easier for each other...

"WHO BOUGHT A COSTCO BOX OF HAND WARMERS?? MUST HAVE BEEN SOROS!"

Someone in Minneapolis, DM me where I can send an Amazon order...
I mostly just stay off Twitter altogether but after double checking that the Walter Hudson post was still up I ran across this and just had to share so the Romancelandians who bought hand warmers could hear about the PROFESSIONAL GRADE LOGISTICS.

You wanna see "professional logistics?" We'll have half the god damn world resupplying Minnesotans and ensuring their supply chains never run low.

Seriously, how do I find a legitimate place for people to send supplies to back protestors? Maybe the Red Cross? Would they be alright with that?

Like many people, I was worried that the "lady in the pink coat" who appeared in some of the earliest videos of the murder of Alex Pretti was detained or 'disappeared.'

She evidently got away. I saw her up-close video on the New York Times site.

One bit of good news amid an avalanche of horrors.

Women who enter pregnancy with chronic conditions are at an elevated risk of long-term complications and, in some cases, death.

For those who live in states that have banned abortion, their options are now severely limited.
Women With High-Risk Pregnancies Have Limited Options Under Abortion Bans
Our reporting has found that abortion bans generally don’t include exceptions that cover health concerns pregnant women with chronic conditions can face — or if they do, doctors aren’t using them.

"We don't care about democracy"

Former CIA officer Philip Agee admitted what history already shows: U.S. foreign policy isn’t about democracy, it’s about control. The real mystery is why anyone still buys the ‘democracy’ sales pitch from Washington and its media.

Trump regime ICE forces are mutilating unarmed civilians. Regime forces are firing kinetic impact projectiles at close range, causing severe injuries that can result in permanent disability or death. Today, they tore off part of a woman’s hand. #3E #GoodvsEvil

If there is a heaven, this beautiful soul has surely been welcomed at the gates. Thank you Alex Pretti for healing and caring for our Veterans. We were blessed that you lived among us- always giving. Always helping those who needed help. You were the best of us. 💔

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Dems need to stop half passing this "fighting fascism" stuff, and ACTUALLY LEAD!
Raskin: "I think the people have Minnesota have shown us with their mass demonstration and general strike the direction that we may need to go in nationally in order to send the message that American society does not accept this authoritarian derailment of the US Constitution."

Alex Pretti never brandished a gun. His firearm, for which he had a legal concealed-carry permit, was removed from his person and then, afterward, he was shot multiple times at point blank range in the back. This was an execution.

🇺🇦President Zelenskyy: This week alone, the Russians have launched more than 1,700 attack drones, over 1,380 guided aerial bombs, and 69 missiles of various types. Every massive attack by Russia can become devastating. That is why missiles for air defense systems are needed every day.

We are not the first people, or the first country, to suffer under a tyrannical government that does not respect our lives, or our rights.

There is a method for how to effectively resist, and eventually topple, such a regime. We can learn from others who came before us.

This is my favorite guide.
