@michael_w_busch @simonbp @ai6yr But it's got lots and lots of federal contracts with zero oversight.

@shoq Nothing says American patriot like hanging a Confederate flag over the fireplace. (And where did they find all those 1970s plaid couches?)

@lauren In other words, nobody bought the lies this time.

@ai6yr Yow. At least they sought psychological help, rather than acting on this deranged shit.
How many have followed through?

@VeroniqueB99 And WALK buttons at cross walks. Pushing the button a lot always makes it change faster.

With Bovino being sent elsewhere, everybody in America should learn about the chemical weapons ICE uses.

@DemocracyMattersALot That and a thousand-year tradition of virulent anti-Semitism.

@me_valentijn @newsguyusa It's hard for me to imagine defending somebody who shot a woman three times and walked away saying, "Fucking bitch." But I've never been a lawyer. Maybe Madel watched the video?

@newsguyusa From the guy who was providing legal advice to Renee Good's killer just two weeks ago.

The list of cosponsors for the House resolution calling for Noem’s impeachment has grown to 111 as of right now (started with 50). https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-resolution/996/cosponsors
If you reside in the U.S. and your Representative is not listed, call the Representative’s office and tell the Representative to sign on to House Resolution 996 immediately.

Hmmm should there be a pancake (instead of french toast) alert up there. 🤭

It makes my blood boil when some of the most powerful people in the country post like they’re just helpless bystanders. One of us can whip caucus votes to block DHS funding, Chuck, and it sure isn’t me.

Last week, House Democratic leadership failed to whip the DHS funding vote, and the seven House Democrats who voted in favor of additional funding for Trump’s goon squad should hang their heads in shame. But it’s not over — Senate Democrats can still stop this ICE and CBP funding bill.

Any Democratic senator who votes to give DHS more money paves the way for more violence from ICE and CBP in more peaceful communities.

This brought me to tears:

The writer is interviewing a Puerto Rican woman, a mother. “At first her 9-year-old was carrying her passport in her backpack; now it’s in her back pocket. ‘I have to prepare them for it if they get stopped,’ she says. ‘I said, Do not engage. This is not the time to be cussing at anyone. But she said, Mom, ‘if I create enough noise, my friends can get away.’”

@cultdev @volts.wtf I encounter my mail carrier almost every day. Very pleasant guy. Not stupid, not malicious, not a dipshit. In fact, every mail carrier I've known in the past 50 years has been nice. And I think mail carriers are the federal employees most of us encounter with any regularity.

Okay I'm a teacher so let me explain in simple terms what happens the second the US invades Greenland:

1. NATO dissolves.
This would literally be a founding member of NATO invading another member nation. This would be a gross violation of one of our longest held treaties in our history. NATO as it exists, would not, and could not, survive.

2. Instant war.
This triggers the defense clause of the post-WW2 agreement, a clause specifically written to trigger if this exact thing were to ever happen. We are instantly at war with (at bare minimum!) the other 11 founding nations: Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Iceland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, and the UK.

3. Financial ruin.
The EU is the largest holder of US foreign debt and it isn't even close. With every country now left defending itself, most of the EU decides that loaning money to a nation currently at war with them is a bad idea. They call in the debts, stop extending us credit, and within a week every US based business from Amazon to Walmart experiences an extinction level event.

4. We never, ever recover from this.
There is absolutely no way on God's green earth any nation ever trusts us ever again after this. How the fuck could they? Even if we get rid of Trump, even if we get rid of elected Republicans, even if we get rid of MAGA as an ideology itself, all we have proven in the end is that our friendship is capricious and can't be relied on because it could just as easily flip flop in another four years.

5. This isn't even including long term effects.
This is literally just what happens the very moment we send American troops to invade Denmark soil. We lose. That's what happens. We lose forever.

@NorcalGma2 My roses are blooming right now too--but so is the rust and black spot. I'm focusing on the growth and bloom, rather than the disease. I want the roses' growth and bloom to be the harbinger.

@spytfyre @VeroniqueB99 Geology check: California will not break away and sink. Part of the state is moving north and part is moving south. So eventually we'll be in Mexico and Canada...but not the ocean. My part of California is moving north, but we won't be part of Canada in my lifetime unless we take steps to make it so now.

@ai6yr You could try putting in a couple of tomato varieties that do well in heat and a couple that do well on the coast, so that one way or another you'd have tomatoes. If I had your climate, I'd be planting Carmello on March 1.
