Welcome to Monday in the Nations Capital:
The Supreme Court is in session but the rest of the government is not.
The House is in recess because why would they be here to deal with a crisis.
Members of Congress get paid but those who guard the building don’t, yet have to work.
Make it make sense

The necromancer spews lies. Do not believe her pronouncements. Carry a sharp sword and remember that fear is also a weapon. And when the demon emerges from the hellmouth, strike but once, bold and true -- you may not get another opportunity.

Not even in the top 500 most impeachable things that Trump has done in office, but I can't get over how he's defacing monuments to republican virtue in order to turn them into symbols of decadent personalism. Caligula-ass government.

People sometimes tell me I’m too critical of gAI and shouldn’t be because it’s uses for disabled people, but it’s because I’m cognitively disabled that I value every single bit of the human experience; as much as I can get of it, I’m hungry for
Why are so many of you so eager to surrender the human experience to a bullshit-algorithm?
You are alive. You are human.
Infinite possibilities await you...
and instead you can't wait to subcontract all the magic of your existence to a faulty machine.

The United States would not exist if George Washington hadn’t ordered his troops to be vaccinated.

And just a reminder for those who don't know: Arlington was established as a national cemetery for the US dead, killed by Confederate traitors, so that Robert E Lee would never be able to return to his home in peace.
A monument to Confederates there is a direct insult to our nation.

Here is Pete Hegseth's tweet announcing the return of the Confederate monument to Arlington National Cemetery. The plan is to restore it and reinstall in 2027.
It's important to point out that this monument was never referred to as a "Reconciliation Monument."

Years ago, I started (but never finished) a project on police corruption. One thing I discovered in the research is that a college education is a solid (tho imperfect) preventive measure.
There are a lot of other factors, but I would bet that ICE is almost certainly implementing worst practices.

You, too, can be a member of Trump's secret police. Education in all forms is optional. A predisposition towards violence is essential, as is personal allegiance to the Leader. Only the best.
