The Constitution is clear: Congress decides on war. When a president uses military force without authorization and Congress stays silent, they are abandoning their role as a co equal branch of government. War is the most serious power our government has. Shame on the U.S. Senate today.

Apparently not.
Yep. Horrifying and tragic, as J Hines said, considering her positive affect on readers and other authors
Surprised Mists of Avalon isn't getting more mention. Whatever flaws it may have, it is a marvelous take on the story.
You may be surprised. Took me about 2 wks
Anybody know why the resurgence in 1990 was all about?
Does she have one blue eye and one green one?
Even if we win all 3 branches of government in 2028, we still will have the same fucking corrupt SCOTUS
WE WILL NEED OT EXPAND THE SUPREME COURT TO GET OUR DEMOCRACY BACK
Well done!
Especially when his wife bared more than just her arms
Okay. Couple days have passed since masked thugs killed the second citizen. Have we chilled out now.
BECAUSE I FUCKING HAVE NOT
We need to invite the Black Panthers to come to our communities and teach us how to use guns and methods of protesting. They have been doing it for years and have the experience. This is the first time in my life that I am thinking about getting a gun now that it is obvious the Govt is the enemy.
We call 'em "punks"
Called and left messages for both of my Dem Senators opposing any funding for ICE.
WTF is wrong with our Dem leadership?
Do they think voters will vote for them in the midterms after this? Because people are getting jaded. Apathy is coming if they won’t fight.
Full-page wrapper for the Seattle times today.
Damn those politicians, from here, proposing new taxes to make it more expensive for those of us who live here, to vacation here.
Love the 2nd part of this post. So often, "eat the plastic" headlines imply organisms with assholes in the 10th dimension where excreta simply vanish. Reusable chemicals is awesome, presuming it is cost effective to reuse them.
All the gun rights people who claimed they needed their guns in case it became “necessary to the security of a free State…” um this would be your moment.
That's good. I'm not convinced that the *lens* was responsible!
Yep. The routine is the thing. You go.

We had a friend tell us that we shouldn't grab our guys' tails. If you don't, how you supposed to start them??
I make the little jokes (and cartoons) but man I am so incessantly incandescent with rage I think I may spontaneously combust
Hey... You can say it as often as you like, by me....
starting a rumor that the agency's full name is Legal Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or LICE
On the Media's "Breaking News Consumer's Handbook: Protest Edition" 1. TV news will fixate on incidents of violence, even if rare and uncharacteristic of the overall event. 2. Opponents will try to delegitimize protesters by claiming they are "paid" or otherwise dishonest. This is almost always untrue. 3. Measuring crowd size is an imprecise, politicized enterprise. Be skeptical of hard numbers: view aerial photos and compare sources. 4. Beware loaded terms such as "riot" and "rebellion." They often reveal the political leanings of the media outlets using them. 5. Crowds at protests are so diverse that the media can tell any story they want. Beware broad conclusions based on extreme people or events. 6. Coverage often considers whether protesters left a mess, or helped clean up a subtle jab or praise. The truth is somewhere in the middle. 7. Protest coverage tends to be episodic, not long-term. Seek out stories that place events in their larger political and historical context. 8. The media will try to tabulate immediate successes and failures of protests. Remember, their impact may not be felt for years.

Buy it for all your friends. It is a terrific read!
Yeah... This occurred to me too. I think you are overstating the case - many, many were already mad; they did give a shit - still the level of outrage is telling.
It would be so cool if the United States Congress still existed.
