Dearest Martha, The National Guard stand solemn watch at the Krispy Kreme tonight. I cannot tell if they defend the people from the donuts, or the donuts from the people. Powdered sugar hangs in the air like cannon smoke. Jensen took a hot coffee to the face, he may never recover. Yours in glaze,

Doesn't this demonstrate more than anything else that DC is not, in fact, more dangerous than Baghdad if Trump can wander around out there?

My favorite part of this is that 'living off the grid' and the "prepper" mentality are generally conservative, and you'd think those would be the kind of people who'd want the independence of generating some/all of their own power.

Kim Davis going from "my religious beliefs demand that I don't facilitate a same-sex marriages" to "my religious beliefs demand that there are NO same-sex marriages anywhere" *should* make Democrats realize there is no "sincere" compromise with bigots on trans issues.

How far away are we from the GOP introducing legislation to drop the age of consent for girls to about 12 or 13, so they can then say that it's not illegal?

Washington, D.C., has a population roughly equivalent to Alaska's. And it has zero senators. If D.C. had senators, the GOP megablil bill would have failed today. Instead, Murkowski got carve-outs and money for Alaska, and then voted to subject DC to the bill

Meanwhile, Trump's previous HHS Secretary Alex Azar co-wrote a piece for Time with Obama's HHS Kathleen Sebelius laying out that we *need* immigrant healthcare workers to address critical staffing shortages (go ahead and guess why Azar wasn't invited back to the current cabinet)

A corrupt system is when ~155 million Americans are represented by 53 MAGA Senators but ~200 million Americans are represented by only 47 Democratic Senators—so the will of 155M is enforced on the will of 200M. Tyranny of the minority is not a functioning Republic, its an aspiring Autocracy. 3/3

A corrupt system when you need 60 Senate votes to protect every basic Constitutional and civil right in this country—but 6 unelected SCOTUS justices mostly appointed by a POTUS who lost the popular vote can strip them all away. 2/3

So by accepting carve-outs for Alaska for her yes vote, she's admitting that everyone should get those exemptions but is willing to hurt the rest of the country for the sake of the GOP. Cool. Great.

When a cabinet member announces "We are using the military to liberate an American city from its elected leaders," where do you go from there. What is left to say. The idea of that being anything short of a near-universal "Wait, what the fuck is going on" moment proves how far we've backslid.

Randomly firebombing a vigil by American Jews for people held prisoner by Hamas will not free any Palestinians, but it *does* reinforce the central Zionist narrative about Jewish safety and terrorize my whole community, so I guess if you're an antisemite it's impossible to say if it's bad or not.
