Just woke up even angrier. Impeach, convict, remove. Draft articles now. Either we have a representative government or we don’t. Do not shut up about this until there’s a vote.

I don’t want to keep reading congressional records. Racism is too deeply engrained.

41 minutes is a long time to sit in your air conditioned office watching men struggle to survive as you decide to kill them.

Exclusive: Survivors clinging to capsized boat didn’t radio for backup, admiral overseeing double-tap strike tells lawmakers | CNN Politics The two men killed as they floated holding onto their capsized boat in a secondary strike against a suspected drug vessel in early September did not appear to have radio or other communications device...

Shipwrecked and not using any communications equipment.

This is a crime against humanity. Everyone involved should be prosecuted for murdering stranded civilians in cold blood.

BREAKING NEWS: Pentagon IG says of Hegseth's use of Signal, "The information could have imperiled American troops." If Hegseth values our troops as much as he says he does, he should resign and allow someone more experienced to lead the Department of Defense.

This explains so much of what we are seeing.

Apparently it’s a crime to remind military members to follow the law and refuse illegal orders (something that it is ingrained in basic) and the pentagon can recall you into the service to discipline you. However, the pentagon will not prosecute you for dodging the draft five times.

They don’t even pretend to care. This is the only story. You can’t open the government if the House refuses to show up.

I have assumed that a cub fan did this… check out the 2016 timing - timing seems a bit suspicious.

Just wild footage today. it’s very difficult to sue cops for constitutional violations, and they never personally pay (they’re indemnified), but this stuff makes it as easy as it ever gets.

I read 1984.
And Fahrenheit 451.
And A Brave New World. οΏΌAnd The Handmaidβ€˜s Tale.
And The Giver.
And The Road.
And The Lottery.
And The Parable of the Sower.
And The Hunger Games.

I know what I’m seeing.οΏΌ

Most people never begin.

They tell themselves the timing isn’t right.
That the space is too crowded.
That their voice won’t matter.

But years from now, they’ll look back with regret, wishing they had started.

You don’t have to be one of them.

Begin today. your future self will thank you.

β€œWe’re celebrating the legacy of our martyred free speech hero by firing a bunch of people for saying mean things about him” is the kind of thing Tom Lehrer could have done roper justice to.

A top 50 US university yesterday fired an instructor, a department chair, and a dean because a course made some reference to transgender people without the brief official course description in the catalog saying β€œtrigger warning: gender.”

In conclusion, those intolerant lefty kids, cancel culture.

This is so wildly inadequate. If taken at face value, itβ€˜s a claim that Article II empowers the President to kill people whenever wherever in the world because β€œU.S. interestsβ€œ as defined by him.

I know. But this is a legal claim. And no, no law gives him that power.
