You should be watching all of Scav, but particularly this episode in which Carter appears as the Quaker Oats symbol.
as we reach the weekend, it's a great time to go watch ep 3 of Scav.... it turned out to be maybe my favorite of the series.
and the music work is incredible, especially around the 23 minute mark...

If the National Guard is really in D.C. to protect federal

White House begins demolishing East Wing facade to build Trump’s ballroom
The president had claimed construction of the $250 million ballroom wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure.

There is no reason for the national guard to be deployed to Chicago. I was there last weekend. It was lovely, as usual. The restaurants there are amazing!
The brave men and women who serve in our national guards must not be used as political props. This is a moment where every American must speak up and help stop this madness.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

It was so nice to see positive research news today. NIH grant terminations were illegal. And the judge went farther. This thread tells you a lot.
"I've sat on this bench now for 40 years. And I've never seen evidence of racial discrimination like this."
"How can this be? I don't see anyone pushing back against it??"

First they illegally deport citizens. Then they unleash ICE to terrorize communities. Now they’ve got the National Guard in L.A. to silence protestors.
This ain’t about law and order.

Yep, I’m going to “politicize” the FSU shooting because gun violence is political. The reason America has a 26 times higher gun homicide rate than any peer nation is because politicians care more about pandering to gun lobbyists than protecting their constituents.
