I have spent my entire adult life being lectured by Republican politicians and conservative legal movement types about how important it is to preserve the sacred constitutional right to self-defense of *specifically this person* and then secret police murdered him in the street

He LOVES sunbathing at the window!
A fluffy black cat sits on the chest of a seated woman.
You got the slow blinks, so you’re definitely in the cool kids group. Mine doesn’t really understand personal space either, but I take it as a compliment.
Sadly, this is not even a little surprising. From the wildly liberal (sarcasm) Forbes site. www.forbes.com/sites/maryro...
I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane, been shot at dozens of times by anti-aircraft fire, and launched into orbit — all for my country. I never thought I'd see a President call for my execution.
Trump doesn’t understand the Constitution, and we're all less safe for it.
Why does this sound so much like sexual coercion? Because that’s all thus administration knows? “Hey, just lie down and it’ll be over soon.”
That’s honestly really romantic!
Conservatism: the irrational fear that someone, somewhere might be getting a free ride

If you thought masked, unidentified federal agents grabbing people off the street were a frightening step toward dystopia, wait until it's private contractors chasing cash bonuses for rounding up human beings at scale
HAPPENING NOW: Portland Police Commander Franz Schoening testifies that federal officers on Oct. 18 barraged protesters with crowd control munitions — not because of any violence but because another federal officer accidentally shot tear gas onto the roof of the ICE facility.
Listen to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, not Mr. Brainworms.
new from @kylietcheung.bsky.social in @teenvogue.com: recently, men have impersonated plainclothes ICE agents to assault women—only possible, she argues, because state agents commit violence with impunity.
"To be clear, men wouldn’t be posing as ICE agents and assaulting women if ICE didn’t exist."
That's epic! We were thrilled to have about 800 in little old Albany!
Not saying this is necessarily the case here (though it feels like it) but in my experience, the louder and more angrily people shout without provocation, the more afraid they are. Especially with men, who have been taught showing fear is weakness, it ends up as angry screaming for no reason.
Wait, Billie Jean??? The song about denying the paternity of a child???
Aw, they all called each other this morning and went twinsies on their outfits!
Seriously, though, I can’t imagine making my whole identity center around trying to intimidate decent people. I just can’t fathom that level of insecurity.
This is really unfair to everyone who just voted for him for the racism.

Do I really even need to say it?
Wow. That truly is messed up thinking and hate on her part.
It’s not a party until Susan Collins says she’s concerned.
Thanks! Yeah, they were mostly as a kid, with two as an adult just a few months apart that were a bear to get through. But all good now.
Gee, if only there was some evidence of his competence and ability to act like a responsible adult before now. But who could have known? Where this all came from is a mystery!
I’ve had six traumatic brain injuries (no, really!), and I still know better than to pull this kind of crap.
And had been using it before in order to avoid a required paper trail that could be discovered by a subpoena or FOIA request. Making it all about accidentally adding a journalist is a total misdirection they’re hoping we fall for.
I was thinking the same thing. It’s like even when women are the victims, it’s still somehow a woman’s fault. I won’t play that anymore.
Definitely a federal offense. And if people think hams won’t be able to tell you’re not licensed, they can absolutely tell and will narc on you in a heartbeat. They’re notoriously right wing.
Same here, since 1994. I just can’t deal with their politics, especially from people who literally spend weekends practicing how they’ll help in an emergency, then actively campaign and vote to create an emergency scenario.
