🧵 Rhyme of the Upset Kitty
A shopper sat upon a bench,
She cannot choose but hear;
And so began a tale of woe,
An account of kitty’s fear.
“I came with human, he and I,
To shop for cat supplies,
A store for all pets we were told,
And lo were we surprised.

After Don Lemon and other journalists' arrests, the NYT is suddenly concerned about the face-eating leopards they've been feeding for years. The moment the leopards look elsewhere, the NYT will revert to sane-washing the insane. It's an old pattern: a mea culpa editorial, then business as usual.

For this week's #ThursdayFilmRec 🗃️🎥🍿🎬 #HATM
Watch or (Rewatch) "The Mortal Storm" (1940) - Dir. Frank Borzage, about the rise of Nazism (starring Jimmy Stewart & Margaret Sullavan).
It so infuriated Joseph Goebbels that he banned it in Germany & also all MGM films.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Ossoff: "This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook. This is a huge deal. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections office ... This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020."

Well crap! Georgia governor Brian Kemp's suppress-the-vote act is upheld on a technicality. "No standing" my ass. Funny how the courts invent theoretical standing when it's a Republican issue, and find no standing when it isn't.

Bovino should be charged as an accessory to murder after the fact.
Naming someone is not doxxing. They aren’t undercover. They aren’t intelligence agents overseas. This is outrageous - we are supposed to be a free Republic and these people want an authoritarian police state. Lawsuits should be filed & ranking Dems in Congress should act.
