LOL, when US Congress "tables" a motion, it gets relegated to the Greek calends -- but when Commonwealth legislatures begin to consider a motion, they say the motion was "tabled."
Grits are usually made from hominy (*nixtamalized*) corn. Nixtamalization increases the bioavailability of tryptophan and thereby, thiamine. Wikipedia says the process improvess "flavor and aroma" of corn. (My wife, who comes from grits country, does not agree). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nixtama...
Franco's General José Millán-Astray first introduced the slogan "Viva la Muerte!" ("Long Live Death") in a 1936 speech. Confronted by right-wing philosopher Miguel Unamuno's critique of his "necrophilous" oath, Millán-Astray then replied, "DEATH TO INTELLECTUALS!! DOWN WITH INTELLIGENCE”
Don't look at this image solely in terms of 'number of firearms.' It's also a salient counterexample of 'muzzle discipline.'

I am so old that I remember when @senangusking.bsky.social still had a brain of his own. In 2023, the Hon. Josh Hawley wrote a book with the title "Manhood: The Masculine Virtues America Needs." On January 6, 2021, Hawley demonstrated his virtue in action. www.youtube.com/watch?v=d60T...

DHS hates it when people call ICE the "Gestapo." As a tribute to the post-literacy of Marjorie Taylor Green, I'll refer to ICE thugs the "Gazpacho Police." #Gazpacho
ICE is now a Federal gendarmerie with national jurisdiction. DHS is on track to overrun its enormous proposed budget. Including all-in support costs, ICE alone will cost about the same as the US Marine Corps.
Those are excellent. Are they made of fabric?

That happened in the wake of the Paris Commune! In "The Civil War in France" (1871), Marx wrote about public safety in Paris after the police fled to Versaillles: www.marxists.org/archive/marx...
![Wonderful, indeed, was the change the Commune had wrought in Paris! No longer any trace of the meretricious Paris of the Second Empire! No longer was Paris the rendezvous of British landlords, Irish absentees,[M] American ex-slaveholders and shoddy men, Russian ex-serfowners, and Wallachian boyards. No more corpses at the morgue, no nocturnal burglaries, scarcely any robberies; in fact, for the first time since the days of February 1848, the streets of Paris were safe, and that without any police of any kind. “We,” said a member of the Commune, “hear no longer of assassination, theft, and personal assault; it seems indeed as if the police had dragged along with it to Versailles all its Conservative friends.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:3c5qbrmpbvwg2w6b7oydwyaz/bafkreib6mw6k7x6trjnwmbcv4r2ll3povzo7pfhvopru7mbfqxrytxl3nq@jpeg "Click to view full size")

Bill Clinton encapsulated Democrat politics: They imagine that America wants a leader who "smokes, but doesn't inhale."
"I have nothing to say" is substantially more prudent than "I'm trying to keep you from kidnapping my neighbors." You can beat the rap, but you can't beat the ride.

G*d grant me the arrogant self-confidence of Rafael Cruz as he insists that scripture from more 2,000 years ago refers directly to a post-1948 ethnostate.

If you just want to repeat what you wrote on the fascist site, you might at least be inclusive of visually-impaired readers. Not bothering with alt-text seems lazy and disrespectful. Alternatively, you might first post on Bluesky, and save your screenshots for The Other Place.
Newsom called Abrego Garcia's case “a distraction." His podcast "Meet Gavin Newsom" platformed Charlie Kirk and Steve Bannon. He threw trans athletes under the bus. He obliged Trump by canceling Medi-Cal for undocumented immigrants before the Budget Buster Bill even passes.

![[NYT 12/20/1920]: Hitler Tamed by Prison Released on Parole, He is Expected to Return to Austria Berlin, Dec 20 -- Adolph Hitler, once the demi-god of the reactionary extremists, was releaased on parole from imprisonment at Fortress Landsberg, Bavaria, today and immediately left in an auto for Munich. He looked a much sadder and wider man today than last Sprint when he, with Ludendorff and other radical extremists, appeared before a Munich court charged with conspiracy to overthrow the Government. His behavior during imprisonment convinced the authorities that, like his political organization, known as the Völkischer, was no longer to be feared. It is believed that he will retire to private life and return to Austria, the county of his birth.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:3c5qbrmpbvwg2w6b7oydwyaz/bafkreidfj5cpk6aclz3abej3ahgnfdth73zsk56dwwl5vfggdywdyniala@jpeg "Click to view full size")
