When I was on @looksunfamiliar.bsky.social I chose this sequence from a 1979 Sesame Street episode - probably the first time I ever heard Philip Glass was this exclusive piece he wrote for this animated sequence, Geometry of Circles. It's never appeared anywhere else.

A president who can tear down 1/3 of the White House can tear down the entire White House. A president who can steal $230M from the treasury can steal $1T from the Treasury. We have both legalized and tolerated Trumpβs crimes, so they will only get bigger.

291. I love the game, Hank! I might have cheated a bit. And haven't subscribed yet. But I love it!
I don't disagree with you at all. But recently, I saw the...place of states' rights... when there's a maniac in the White House and the Congress and Supreme Court are not reining him in. I'm not talking about the history of the principle of states' rights, but about how we could use it for a time.

There are all these documentaries about octopuses that I can't watch because I know I'll be rendered useless for days and just cry forever.
Anyway, here's my kitchen backsplash that I painted and gilded in 2014.
That's the work your grandma was saving time for. Making pie. She had her priorities straight.
We'll miss you!
Trump is gunning for unionsβstripping collective bargaining from federal employees in ~21 agencies to muzzle dissent and punish opposition. A court slaps that down as an βunprecedentedβ attack on First Amendment rights. Read it yourself: www.reuters.com/business/wor...

Millions of malnourished children now face deathβnot due to war or famine, but because the U.S. just pulled the plug on the lifeline. On July 1, USAID disappears. Contracts canceled. Clinics closing. Families left with nothing.

For all the respondents saying, yes, please. Well booya, I agree, but you may have missed the "unpleasant, deadly and very hard" part. Someone please queue up the Jeffersonian quote about the tree of Liberty and the blood of patriots. He was talking about us. That's our blood.
/3β¦.short, of course, of the unpleasant, deadly, and very hard Jeffersonian win scenario of disposing of the armed thugs, the government actors sending them, and the political and intellectual elite that wrote the plans for their thuggery.
/2 The hidden premise of the question seems to be there is some hidden cheat code that lawyers know that will solve this. But thereβs no cheat code for fascism. You submit to the masked armed thugs or you get brutalized and/or prosecuted. Thereβs no win scenarioβ¦
Thatβs a tough question. Resisting masked armed thugs in any circumstance can get you beaten or killed by the armed thugs. If the masked armed thugs are agents of the U.S. government it will also get you prosecuted for βassault on a federal officerβ or βresisting arrest.β

Agreed!
Well, that does make sense. Hope you looked up my second reference. Not going to defend the deplorable policies of the republican leaders there. But that doesn't mean 100% of the people who live there voted for them. That's what confused me about your statement.
Also, the flag doen't.
