If I say something abt being ready for an armed revolt pls know I’m full of shit. I’ve never held a gun & I’ve only fought w my brothers. I’ll join one but I’d die or be wounded quickly. If I’m wounded just charge ahead bc I’ll be fine on the ground playing Bejeweled on my phone for a few hours.

CASSIDY: I know it's titillating, but I think we need to move beyond the titillation

Then why didn't he just say that? Any normal person would have calmly said, "Of course no one should follow illegal orders and we do not issue them." Instead he got hysterical and basically said "how dare they say not to follow my illegal orders! I'll give any orders I want & they WILL follow them."

Honestly, I don't think you should be able to give live testimony in city council meetings unless you live in that city. Not visit that city, not own property in it, or work in it, or run a business, live and vote. You do any of those other things, submit written comments.

This #Thanksgiving, you could have a calm & peaceful holiday & avoid politics altogether.
I'm sure that's what the majority of folks did in Nazi, Germany.
Or you can educate your family as to what's going on so they can't claim ignorance.
Talk about #ICELawlessness.
It doesn't have to be hostile.

Huge @tinanguyen.bsky.social scoop: Trump is preparing to try and ban all state AI laws, going so far as having Brendan Carr’s FCC pull rural broadband funds from states that try to regulate AI www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...
Here’s the Trump executive order that would ban state AI laws

Under Trump, the only normative rule is to gain as much power and money as possible.
Power and wealth are honored, even if the honoree has greenlit a brutal murder.

Please help Bryan, a decent and hardworking person who was just kidnapped off the street in DC. He has been in this country since he was a child. He has a business and a family. He does not deserve such shameful cruelty. Please share.
