Now this is a weird news break. Apparently either trump is TRYING to cause another international diplomatic disaster or didn't inform ice thugs that they were not meant to invade consualates in those target cities, or like I said WANT an international conflict.

I remember it well - it was an obvious opportunistic power grab by G.W. Bush then and it's never been necessary.
Yes, DHS was formed after 9/11. A lot of progressive voices objected to it at the time — DHS powers were too sweeping and wouldn’t work effectively to prevent a second 9/11 anyway — but it was 2002 and nobody was listening to progressive voices.

This idea of organic community behavior is completely alien to the Right's mindset. They can only process it in the way they would do it, with outside money and paid actors. The Right spits that cooperation and common cause is "Socialism" or "Communism", thus its manifestations must be attacked.

I love how they went from "Guns Don't Kill People" to "A Gun Can Kill People Even If You Don't Use It!"
Bessent: I'm sorry he is dead, but he did bring a semiautomatic weapon to what was supposed to be a peaceful protest.

Karl: There's no evidence that he brandished the gun whatsoever

Bessent: But he brought a gun!

Karl: We do have a second amendment in this country.

Don't forget this classic by Kimberly Nicholas, summarizing the IPCC's Synthesis Report:

It's warming. It's us. We're sure. It's bad. We can fix it.

came across old pics- like the 70's- when my grandparents were in Europe, and my grandma tried stroopwafels for the first time.

except she pronounced it 'schtupwaffle' and couldn't understand why everyone there looked at her funny & nobody would explain why.
