DC folks actually sort of need to demand that heads roll over this. Itβs a real problem if law enforcement in the capital is so pathetic, weak, and supine that their instinct is to act as stormtroopers for illicit federal power grabs.
The military draft comment from Leavitt feels like a trial balloon.
If there's enough outcry, Trump denies it and Leavitt falls on her sword for "misspeaking."
If there's not, Trump and Hegseth bring it up casually and slowly push. For example, Trump may "joke" about it as a next step.

He is just such small person who has repeatedly been called out for his own draft deferment, and of course he wants to instate a draft, just to prove a point, because he is such a small person.
Like theyβre *investigating* ICE killing Alex Pretti & Renee Good?
DHS killed a 23yo in Texas in March 2025 the same way they killed Renee Good www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...
1/The failure to investigate Renee Goodβs death at all is ongoing scandal. The independent autopsy suggests that Renee Good was still alive after the first shot; it was the third shot that killed her, www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news....
So almost exactly how Renee Good was executed
Like Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
Walk into a sandwich shop. Itβs regulated for health and safety.
But AI, which will transform the world economically and socially, is completely unregulated. Thatβs insane.
We need to make certain that AI works for ALL humanity, not just the billionaires who own it.
Every time a woman runs for president I hear that sheβs too emotional and unstable to make wartime decisions, unlike the men in charge who make really reasonable decisions like bombing kids to death, starting water wars, and poisoning the entire planet
Wow -- as first spotted by @BadFoxGraphics on X, Fox & Friends this morning used *old footage of a previous dignified transfer* to mislead their audience about the fact that Trump wore a baseball cap during the one yesterday
The tie in with Will & Rowan was good, but my frustration at the time was that Strixhaven draws heavily on a JKR vibe, when it could have drawn on a UKL Earthsea vibe⦠but the set did cool things with enemy colour pairs, and the stories were great. I absolutely loved having Liliana hide out there.

The Borg Queen from Star Trek: First Contact. She's a terrifying bald cybernetic monster who is absolutely rocking that red lipstick, girrrrl
The T-Rex from Jurassic Park, breaking through the barriers that kept her from achieving her full potential (eating whoever she wants)
The Xenomorph Queen from Aliens. She's a horrifying mass of insectoid limbs and black carapace. She's making her own way through the galaxy in the face of adversity, all while raising a family. You really can have it all.
Jobu Tupaki from Everything, Everywhere, All At Once. She's wearing an outfit that's a riot of different colors and styles. That's because she's out there girl-bossing and living her best lives, all at the same time. That's multitasking!
Me and the girls celebrating International Women's Day
Sgt. Declan Coady was 20 years old. Sgt. 1st Class Nicole Amor was days away from coming home to her two kids.
This is who he is. This is what they cover for.ββββββββββββββββ 3/x
Then, within hours of leaving Dover, he posted on Truth Social that the war was already βwon.β
Fox News then aired footage from a different dignified transferβone where Trump wasnβt wearing a baseball cap. A host later called it an βinadvertent error.β Sure. 2/x
Trump wore a $55 campaign merch hatβwhite with gold βUSAβ lettering and β45-47β on the sideβto the dignified transfer of the 6 soldiers killed in his Iran war.
VFW guidance is explicit: civilians remove their hats and place them over their hearts at military funerals.

Matt has been a mentor and a friend to half the critics coming up in the past few decades. He helped me get my very first gig. His bookstore is a treasure trove of gorgeous art and behind the scenes knowledge. I can't recommend it enough.
A report out today said that Russia's war on Ukraine has emitted over 400 million metric tons of CO2, which is roughly equivalent to all diesel engines on earth running nonstop for a year.
Multiple reports this week suggest the carbon emissions of our war on Iran will be significantly higher.
According to a federal court, Trump's IRS illegally shared confidential taxpayer information with ICE 42,695 times.
FFS, BELIEVE THE WOMEN!

Someone talking on a landline.
TOP SECRET! (1984)
Its always unnerving to see people talking about war like its sports game, supporting their respective teams, like its not something with extraordinary destruction that, under the BEST of circumstances, those who haven't been obliterated, will need to spend many decades attempting to rebuild from.
40 far right with union flags surrounded by cops on every side boxes into a small huddle
Bristol Patriots having a shit day out today. All 40 of them, totally boxed in by hundreds of antifascists.
Police turned them around and marched them back the way they came.
Despite using batons and horses against antifascists, people held their ground and the fascists did not pass.
Big βservant of the Secret Fire, wielder of the flame of Anorβ¦ you cannot passβ energy here.
Someone who looks a lot like Spice, in all black standing arms outstretched holding a book (a bible) whilst police horses charge it. There's a crowd behind. They didn't run it down & the line was held.
Outnumbered the fascists.
Police failed to break our line.
They got bundled into taxis & fucked off home.
Got a pic that goes crazy hard out of the whole equation.
Lovely Saturday, over all.
