Dang. This poem by @sophieklahr.bsky.social hits hard. Absolutely beautiful.

The speaker of the house claimed not to of seen the president’s address to the 800 military generals and flag officers, but he did have an opinion on the Super Bowl halftime entertainment so there’s that.

I’m trying to think of another country that is has been as enthusiastic about sending its military against its own people? Syria? Not even Russia

Are there any potential consequences for a government attorney involved in a selective and vindictive prosecution such as penalties from a state or local bar association?

Is there any oversight to such a decision (short of congress expressly withholding funds) or can Treasury just go ahead and do it?

Ooooh, this is such a beautiful book object! The cover has that weathered feel, the illustrations are haunting, and text is large enough to be gentle on the eyes and the margins are big and creamy.

Oh, and its a horror anthology <3

We have copies in stock, let us know if you want one!

Any similar relief for Illinois?
