Gift link. He's talking about dual state theory. It's based on Nazi law that created a separate legal system for Jews and state enemies. He's saying this is happening and new in the US. I think it's happening, but an intensification of how the legal system has long treated communities of color.

Lesson here is no matter who much you grovel, it’s never enough. Groveling before a malignant narcissist just identifies you as an easy target for abuse.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Today is Old Wassail and Here's to thee, old apple tree...
Some places have very, very old wassailing customs, though, and we go to the West Country on Old Twelvey to witness such a one in our 11th #winterfolklore tale.
Read it below.

Petroglyph of Whales, Greenland 🇬🇱 🇩🇰
They are believed to have been created by early Inuit or Paleo-Eskimo peoples, possibly belonging to the Saqqaq or Dorset cultures, hundreds of years ago.
Found on cliffs and large boulders scattered around the town of Qaqortoq.
