Stewart Rhodes, the leader of the far-right Oath Keepers militia, was sentenced on Thursday to 18 years in prison for his conviction on seditious conspiracy charges for the role he played in helping to mobilize the pro-Trump attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
The sentence, handed down in Federal District Court in Washington, was the most severe penalty so far in the more than 1,000 criminal cases stemming from the Capitol attack — and the first to be increased for fitting the legal definition of terrorism.

I don’t understand why people can’t just NOT buy the things. I saw a Tiktok where the person was offended because there was some shirt with a dinosaur and a rainbow. It’s so ridiculous. No one is forcing these people to take out their wallets and buy the shirts. Plus, my 5yo definitely associates rainbows with the thing in the sky after a rainstorm. My almost 5 year old loves his Target rainbow dinosaur shirt. LOVES it +1 it's such a cute shirt

The Mickey Mouse “tell him it was me” meme is my favorite thing on the internet so far in 2023. I love it.

"Two of Donald Trump’s employees moved boxes of papers the day before FBI agents and a prosecutor visited the former president’s Florida home to retrieve classified documents in response to a subpoena — timing that investigators have come to view as suspicious and an indication of possible obstruction, according to people familiar with the matter. Trump and his aides also allegedly carried out a “dress rehearsal” for moving sensitive papers even before his office received the May 2022 subpoena, according to the people familiar with the matter, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe a sensitive ongoing investigation. Prosecutors in addition have gathered evidence indicating that Trump at times kept classified documents in his office in a place where they were visible and sometimes showed them to others, these people said. Taken together, the new details of the classified-documents investigation suggest a greater breadth and specificity to the instances of possible obstruction found by the FBI and Justice Department than has been previously reported. It also broadens the timeline of possible obstruction episodes that investigators are examining — a period stretching from events at Mar-a-Lago before the subpoena to the period after the FBI raid there on Aug. 8.' Trump workers moved Mar-a-Lago boxes a day before Justice Dept. came for documents www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2023/05/25/trump-classified-documents-mar-a-lago/

I don't understand this. Like isn't a large % of their base SS recipients? You think they'd pissed when they don't get their checks?

My trumpet uncle sent a text to our group chat today saying “The debt limit issue the White House can't seem to figure out might make it so they don't pay me to work.” They’ll just blame it on Biden. (Or Obama somehow.) 🤣

Also, on the rainbow discussion; on June 2nd my school is hosting their annual rainbow/LGBTQ+ support theme day. I will be in my progressive pride flag leggings and my proud ally T-shirt. Then on Monday June 5th our GSA is hosting their annual raising of the pride flag where it will remain front and center outside our building the entire month.
Go shove it up your ass, homophobes.
I'm so disappointed in Target for giving into extreme bigots.
