Pritzker: The Insurrection Act is designed for circumstances where your rights can’t be protected by local authorities

This is exactly the opposite.

Your civil rights are being infringed upon by CBP and ICE, and then they want to call in troops claiming that they’re protecting CBP and ICE.

That's legit.

It would be so cool if the United States Congress still existed.

My Yule altar: blue tree-shaped candle, live evergreen centerpiece, decorative cloth with imagery including a pentagram made of sticks, small tea light votive with reindeer, egg shaped crystal and a red card welcoming the return of the light.

Text that says: Happy Solstice *** The shortest fucking day of the longest year of our fucking lives.

Left side has a pine tree with gold ball ornaments and gold ribbon. Right side has the following text: This Yule May all who need a miracle be blessed. May all who feel unwell and fragile be given strength. May all who have heavy burdens have their loads lightened. May all who have worry find peace. May your Yule be filled with happiness, joy and love.

A picture of me: light skinned, Caucasian lady, blue eyes, newly colored, dark auburn hair. Black framed, cat eye shaped, glasses. Yellow sweater.

May your holiday season be a joy to you and yours.
