In Texas, our corrupt, sleazy, unctuous monster of an AG is sending his thugs to raid the homes of prominent democrats of Hispanic descent, including that of an 89 year-old woman who helps other seniors register to vote. All in the name of “fraud”. Fascism is already here and has been for some time.
Thanks for hammering this point, Noah. Not enough focus is put on the fact that MAGA is a stochastic terror movement. If a Black politician’s POC followers were known for their violent reprisals, it would be a major story.
There's a song from the Civil War about an old man picking up his son, who's "coming home today," but the old man is "showing signs of grief and tears" and has gone to the telegraph office instead of the train station. The clerk tells him kindly, he should go to the station where he'll find his son amongst the passengers disembarking, but the old man shakes his head. The telegraph office is where you pick up cargo which has been shipped by express train, such as the casket containing your a Union soldier son's body.
Arlington was seized and created in 1864 to serve as a cemetery for the thousands of unknown Union dead because all the cemeteries in the surrounding region had already been packed to absolute capacity. Unable to identify who to send them home to, the US was unwilling to dump them into mass graves, so it seized/accepted Arlington.
I swear I'm not bloodthirsty, but... Part of me is saying "at least it wasn't the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier." And another part of me is wishing very much it had been the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, because instead of assaulting an ANC worker, they'd - well. The Tomb guards don't play games.
There were Republican members of congress who voted not to impeach (especially the second time) because they feared Trump’s deranged cult members. I wish I could remember exactly where I originally read that. It’s not surprising though- keeping one’s family breathing is pretty high up on the priority list.
I think the mistake which the cemetery employee made was acting as one.
Barbara Pressman , a feminist academic in Canada, once observed that someone speaking up alone will quickly be labeled a crazy. Two people speaking up will be labeled two crazies who found each other.
But three or more speaking up have to be taken seriously.
I'll say it a thousand times. It's up to DOJ to file charges, not ANC staff, and not in three years, BUT TODAY.

Edit: The lady in question is 87, not 89.
“Is anyone really surprised that convicted rapist Trump forced himself on Arlington after Arlington said no?”

The idea that Trump’s first term has not really ended hits home for me. Have not read that before, and it seems accurate.
The cop city Planned near Atlanta, Georgia deserves more context each time it is mentioned.
Georgia has perhaps sent to the most cops to Israel for training in urban warfare. Going back decades.
They are quite proud of it and assume that good guys bad guys is still the path to community safety.

I think it was Romney's book?

That’s what the cemetery story brings to my mind.
