"When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross" Actually its mostly absurd and full of lies so obvious they don't need to be debunked. (h/t Brandunaware @lawgunsmoney.bsky.social )

See my previous comment about a military coup.

The whole thing is worth listening, but at 34.30... TAKES OFF. ✨

Reading the live reactions this morning, I'm kinda wishing for a military coup right now.

Today's speech is exactly what one expects from someone who flounced from the Individual Ready Reserve due to his white supremacist tattoos

I’m really grateful for Pritzker. But that he’s so good at this also makes clear just how badly most other Democrats are failing to meet the moment.

@laurarbelin.bsky.social - Anyway you look at it, Dr. Ian Roberts tenure is dead. If he's a citizen, he can't run the school system without a license, and even proof thereof of citizenship will likely take months for a politicized state government to recognize & reinstate him. /1

@majeff.bsky.social I had no idea Lego was going to produce this set.

At the end of the day, 2 things are clear in my current logic: 1) Barring an act of God, Dr. Ian Richards will be sent to Guyana or another extranational dumping ground ASAP after significant discomfort 1/2

@lawgunsmoney.bsky.social Further information about the Des Moines superintendent of schools arrested by ICE

4PM Today (Friday, Sept 26): Protest at the Neil Smith Federal Building in downtown Des Moines in support of Dr Ian Roberts. Dr Roberts was detained by ICE in Des Moines and, apparently, driven to an ICE facility in Council Bluffs.

@lemieuxlgm.bsky.social @lawgunsmoney.bsky.social Shit's hitting the fan, at least in my state.

The building aesthetic strongly reminds me of the IM Pei wing of the Des Moines Art Center.

Interesting. Thanks @segfaultvicta.bsky.social, I hadn't considered it from this angle. And yes, he could have run in 2028; he'd be 35 in October that year.

I was . . not pleased to see my building's flag at half-mast this morning.

And yep. bsky.app/profile/mjlp...

Which is my point from the last 24 hours of politicians and journalists all swooning at the, 'terrible state of the political discourse'.

"Forget the myths the media's created about the White House. The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand." -Attributed to 'Deep Throat', 1973, Mark Felt, Deputy Director, FBI. 2025: If only.

They're never going to find this guy, are they?

"Paramount planning on purchasing Warner Bros" - WSJ (No link available - WSJ paywall) WTAF??! How TF is the resulting Paramount + Skydance at all stable enough for another merger? From what little I could read they're paying for it with just cash.

you don’t have to have a take on everything but i will say for the record that gavin newsom’s “continue his work” post is one of the more disgusting things i have ever seen considering that the dead man in question wanted at least ~2.8 million americans eradicated & believed empathy was a sin.

I'm hearing the FBI is looking for a man in Utah with a rifle, so they must have some really clear footage helping them narrow it down

It's one thing to lament loss of life and decry political violence, but this revisionism is shockingly dishonest and downright offensive to the millions of people Kirk targeted and upon whom he inflicted pain and misery. The man was a liar and a bigot who gladly hurt others to advance himself.

Tom Hayden may not have been a wartime consigliare, but he's 10x the tactician Schumer is.

JUST NOW — Israel takes credit for attacking Hamas leadership in Qatar, a USA ally, where they were coming to discuss a peace deal in Doha. Safe to say this scraps any efforts at a deal to end the carnage in Gaza and bring home the hostages, which was likely the point.

Because fuck diplomacy. They've essentially guaranteed there's no one to negotiate with, so they're going to do whatever to Gaza while repeatedly screaming, "stop resisting!"

Y’all should read it. I haven’t finished it yet, but he makes a lot of valid points.

Pussy Comitatus? I never knew her! She's SAD!

John Bolton is just the craziest kind of opposition martyr. But this looks like one of the big escalation stages in this whole drama.

@dustinrowles.bsky.social - What is this psychological horror?

"In the ancient world, people spoke of 'Ultima Thule,' a mythical land in the extreme north, the end of the earth. By venturing north to Alaska to meet Vladimir Putin, Donald Trump reaches his own Ultima Thule, the arctic endpoint of a foreign policy dreamworld." snyder.substack.com/p/ultima-thule

We need some frank discourse on the rights/powers/duties of active duty troops with respect to unconstitutional orders. These 21-year-old kids need to know what recourse they'll have/if they'll be protected for refusing an order from this administration order to, say, shoot peaceful protesters.

I try to be smart, but I'm not very good at it.

Needs to be repeated ad infinitum. I'm sitting in a City Council candidate forum listening to a Democrat pushing her 'get along' credentials.

Is anyone else disappointed, but not surprised, at the NCAA for legitimizing un-regluated spending by donor consortiums to recruit and keep college athletes? We're gonna have $30 million dollar "State University" QBs.

@elienyc.bsky.social - With each and every terrible "Fuck you, that's why" the Court majority issues, I hope we get to nuke the majority so hard with your reforms we hear Roger Taney cry out in agonizing despair.

Ugh, please NO.

I have no doubt @dahlialithwick.bsky.social & @mjsdc.bsky.social have had this repeatedly quoted to them, but it's exceptionally cogent. Justice Jackson sees it for what it is and damn collegiality.

#CVG2025 I haven't been out wandering about today because I'm volunteering in a non-public area, so I haven't given away as many of these as I'd like! Tomorrow, keep an eye out for my Corbomite Front division of Starfleet badge and get this ribbon!

#CVG2025 I'm amazed we've escaped furries for 44 minutes in Reverend Matt's show - until just now.
