"They were obviously not trained at all. I've known many police officers in my life. These people were right off the streets."
"They had the professional demeanor of criminals."

Look, I know you guys are in all kinds of trauma right now but let's not forget all the Presidents who actively encouraged the eradication of the First Nations and supported slavery. America before Trump wasn't a freedom-loving egalitarian Golden Age. Myths like that are what got us where we are.
Before the horrific floods in Texas, 5 former National Weather Serice directors warned Trump that continued cuts to the budget would result in people's deaths.
All presidents have an ego, we've just never had one that required human sacrifice to feed his.

1. The Department of Health and Human Services has launched a national "snitch form" to report gender affirming care providers.
The last few times state Republicans did this, they were overloaded with memes and Bee Movie scripts.

Not exaggerating when I say I would like a personal, handwritten apology from every pundit who barfed out a dozen "the left wants to change the way you talk!" op-eds based on non-mandatory guidelines in obscure PDFs.
2. A memo distributed by NSA leadership to its staff says that on February 10, all NSA websites and internal network pages that contain banned words will be deleted.

Let me tell you about the weird business that delivers art into our lives, and the impact it has on the long-term careers of artists. This is a thread prompted by yet another article on authors' incomes, and the inevitable reactions from the 'people-would-pay-if-it-was-worth-it-to-them' brigade. 1/
