Gov. Pritzker enlists the public's help: "What we've asked is that people pull out their iPhone or their Android phone and film what they're seeing. Take a video of everything so see so that we can know if, in fact, laws are being broken by these federal officials coming into our state."

A government ban on Hungary’s Pride parade backfired Saturday as over 100,000 people marched through Budapest, far more than usual

PM Viktor Orban warned people to stay away, threatening “clear legal consequences.” But the warnings only turned a modest event into a mass rally against his government

This is why you fight these cowards.

The moment you stand up to them, they crumble.

Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights.

He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

"Don't Engage, Just Block"
A tipsy note to newcomers:

We do not engage with bad faith actors here.

Block works really well.

Also, you can hide someone's comment on your posts from ALL views permanently (do so before blocking).

Don't give them attention.

Guard your peace and your piece!

P.S. Use alt text!!!

This is just a small handful of the hundreds of pardons Trump gave to drug traffickers, violent felons, fraudsters, donors, friends, cronies, wealthy businessmen, campaign aides, and Republican politicians.

So a reminder:

It’s not ‘liberals’ saying Hegseth abuses women. It’s his mom.

It’s not ‘liberals’ comparing Trump to Hitler. It’s his vice-president.

It’s not ‘liberals’ calling Musk a liar and a racist. It’s his own child.

For the record.

Image I did for Steamforged Games - Animal Adventures. Pirate boarding party, the extreme angle was challenging for me but I think it came out *so* well.

It's been six years since Steve Bannon's advisory on how to neutralize journalists: "Flood the zone with shit."

Learning what that means, how it works, is now basic to newsroom competence.

Six years! Which is to say, things like this this should not be happening.
