Ron Johnson: "These are activists that are trained, that are encouraged to put themselves into harm's way, and because they put themselves in harm's way we had two tragic deaths in Minneapolis. There's not much nuance there."

Just a bear who loves being a Guardian (all classes but ESPECIALLY Warlock) and Planeswalker. Content will include game stuff (mostly cards, minis, Destiny). Just doing my best to make the world lighter and better!

This reads to me as Trump announcing he is going to demolish the Kennedy Center:
βSo if anyone out there has given their life to Jesus and is planning to abandon their earthly possessions come Tuesday, please consider this your sign to let me know about that air fryer situation.β

Iβm not upset if someone on SNAP wants to buy chips.
There are very wealthy people in this country who profit off Americans who have cancer.
That does upset me.
Sweetie, Roy Cooper vetoed three anti-trans bills as governor despite knowing the GOP-majority legislature would override his vetoes. He is a stalwart champion for LGBTQ rights.
Also: you're saying this to a Christian trans woman. I think I have a pretty good idea of what I'm talking about.
Nothing to see here. Just atheists Lawrence Krauss and Richard Dawkins comparing the acceptance of transgender people to telling anorexic and obese people they're healthy.
What BS logic from the Supreme Court.
Trans care bans don't discriminate on transgender status. Rather, its GENDER DYSPHORIA that they target.
Not too many gender dysphoric cisgender people.
To trans kids and their families: I am so sorry the Supreme Court and so many elected Republicans donβt think your health and your rights should be protecting.
Just like with reproductive care, they think the decisions you, your family and your doctors make are their business β not yours.
The Supreme Court of the United States voted 6-3 in favor of politicians being able to take life-saving, medically necessary, doctor-prescribed, parent-approved health care away from trans kids.
The so-called party of βparental rights,β βsmall governmentβ and βfreedomβ just spat on all of that.
BREAKING: In a 6-3 Roberts decision, the Supreme Court has ruled that Tennessee's ban on gender affirming care is not subject to heightened scrutiny. This decision will strip millions of trans people off their constitutional rights.

"Some of you may die, but it's a sacrifice we're willing to make."
They acknowledge the harms of trans youth being left untreated and then greenlight banning treatment. It's psychotic wanton cruelty.
What ICE is doing is so massively cruel and immoral, and standing up against it is one of the most important things our politicians (and regular people) can do right now!!!
ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds.
He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings.
He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights.
This is political intimidation.
Ask yourself: If Donald Trump was a thinly-veiled Russian asset, can you name one thing heβd be doing differently?

Was going for a warpflame sort of look. Used the wrong wash.
Live and learn, thatβs why Iβm practicing, after all!
The five figurines now have whites where their eyes go, setting up for the irises to be added later
The ponies now have the starts of their eyes! Irises will be filled in for later, Iβm beat and at a stopping point for the night!
4.5 hours of painting on my first night back to painting! Just listening to podcasts and chilling.
The first run of silver on the manes and tails of the five MLP figurines.
The mane and tail of the the leftmost pony are white. The manes and tails of the four on the right are silver.
From the first thin coats of silver on their tails and manes to the much fuller silver after multiple thin layers!

It is completely unlawful for ICE to turn away members of Congress like this. The law could not be more clear; no member of Congress may be denied access to a facility where ICE is detaining someone, and they cannot be required to schedule in advance. Surprise inspections must be surprise.
Bot-like tweets aside: At least they're being more honest about their immigration objectives. This was never about "law and order," coming in the "right way," or cracking down on "criminal illegals."
It was always about keeping brown people from "sh*thole countries" out.
Oklahoma receives about $3 billion more in federal spending than it pays in federal taxes. That's nearly $8,000 per Oklahoman--only 9 states have a higher per capita balance of payments. Subsidies from MA, NJ, WA, CA, and a few others are how OK remains a "low tax state."
I'm so glad Thomas Friedman is using his platform to say this. I've heard this exact thing many times from my Jewish friends. Israel's actions are putting the Jewish diaspora in danger.

Getting shot for taking video of a cop. Being at the whims of a dangerous roving gang of militarized police who donβt like a spotlight on their violence ainβt great, man.
Keep filming anyway
MURRAY: If the Navy wants to hire a qualified candidate for the role, but that candidate happened to vote for or donate to Democrats, would they be hired?
HEGSETH: Senator, there has never been a litmus test for hiring welders
M: Well, that is what they're being asked. We need to drop the politics
Being able to ignore uncomfortable issues is a privilege.
So where exactly are they supposed to use the bathroom?!
A 17-year-old Honduran foster childβidentified only as Henryβwas removed from his foster home in Pensacola in shackles and transferred to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), according to reporting from the Miami Herald.
Shaheen: "Mr Secretary, you pointed out that javelins were given to Ukraine during the first Trump administration. But I would point out that he was impeached over holding up giving those javelins and equipment to Ukraine."
Whatever problems you're experiencing in your life and in our country, I promise you that undocumented migrants are not the source. Harassing, detaining, and deporting migrants will not alleviate your problems. Leave them alone.
Simone Biles caved after a few hours of receiving the kind of abuse trans people face every single day. She immediately backed down and apologized to heinous bigots.
We don't have the luxury of moving on. Cis people can just dip out after they face the slightest pushback.
