Investigators are trying to determine how closely members of the Proud Boys communicated during the Capitol riot and to what extent the far-right nationalist group might have planned the assault in advance. nyti.ms/2Yey6Vy

Ethan Nordean's idea of going "incognito" while leading an insurrection is wearing a jacket while wearing the same backwards hat (bottom left, 2018) & the exact stupid sunglasses he's worn at other Proud Boys rallies (bottom right, 2019). A mastermind. politico.com/news/2021/03/0

Remembering that time in April 2016 when Infowars' Joe Biggs came to antagonize PDX because people weren't nice to the "PSU students for Trump" kids. Joe Biggs is now a major Proud Boys leader and was involved in the Jan 6 capitol insurrection. My photos portlandmercury.com/blogtown/2016/

This in no way justifies what Fagan did, but this is one reason public officials need to be paid adequately. It’s a vulnerability in our democracy. This extends to our “part time” legislature as well. twitter.com/shanedkavanaug…

So much of the Trump-era right — this, Trump’s dishonest fundraising, the weird supplement stuff, Musk’s blue check scam — is just wealthy elites duping regular people into giving them money by convincing it’s a way to demonstrate their contempt for wealthy elites.

It's $8 a month to support a service that -- whether we like it or not -- media members use daily to do their jobs. I do not understand the reluctance to pay the $8. The entitled will refuse to pay and support. They always want something for nothing. It's about support, not fame.

Is Therapy-Speak
Making Us Selfish?
Boundaries are important. But our relationships require a
touch more compassion than some online blueprints offer.
by Rebecca Fishbein
April 7. 2023
ast summer, Anna, 24, was dumped by
a longtime friend over text. While
making plans to meet up, the friend
pivoted and told Anna she wanted to
end their five-year friendship. When Anna asked
if it was something she did, her friend told her
she wasn't comfortable answering, and that
there was no more room for discussion.
"I'm in a place where I'm trying to honor my
needs and act in alignment with what feels right
within the scope of my life, and I'm afraid our
friendship doesn't seem to fit in that
framework," the friend wrote.
"I can no longer
hold the emotional space you've wanted me to, and think the support you need is beyond the scope of what I can offer.”

For decades, Justice Clarence Thomas has secretly accepted luxury trips from a major Republican donor, newly obtained documents and interviews show. The extent and frequency of these apparent gifts to Thomas has no known precedent in modern SCOTUS history... 🧵👇

Coincidentally this is the same reason Portland officials gave for authorizing more Zenith oil trains through the city even while they were winning in court! Everyone learned that can just say this when you’re making a political choice & pretend the lawyers made you do it.
