@BrianJopek tweet from Kristi Noem @KristiNoem:

If Joe Biden federalizes the National Guard, that would be a direct attack on states' rights. Over the last several years, we've seen Democrats try to take away our Freedoms of religion, assembly, and speech. We can't let them take away our right to defend ourselves, too. South Dakota defends the Constitution.

Great cartoon!

Expanding on the #alttext a bit

"A Michael de Adder cartoon

A soldier seen from the back is looking at a modified "Uncle Sam Wants You" army recruitment poster

In this version of the poster, Donald Trump's face has replaced Uncle Sam's face and the text reads:

I want you to use force against your fellow American"

Be strong. Be safe. Trump can't stand to be humiliated. This is what's driving his dictatorial moves. But he will overreach. He already has. And this overreach will ultimately be his undoing. As long as we keep our heads — and engage in peaceful civil disobedience.

@sccdp Why did this need to be an image without #AltText? Why not just PUT THE DAMN TEXT IN THE POST!! Anyway, because you couldn’t be bothered to make your content accessible, here’s some #AltText4You:

What we are seeing in Los Angeles County is a purposeful provocation by the Trump Administration.

From arresting immigrants to detaining labor leaders to mobilizing military personnel against peaceful itizens, Trump has made his intentions lear - to demonize, divide and destroy our communities.

Yet his actions will only strengthen the resolve of Angelenos and those who call the Golden State home.

We will not bow to a king or bend to the will of a dictator.

We will speak up, speak out, push back, and fight back today, tomorrow, and every day until justice is won.

Real vegans roll their balls in their palms!

This morning (as a small distraction from losing mum to #cancer 2 years ago today) I’ve been mostly making misshapen air fryer date & apricot #falafel.

Packed with overnight soaked chickpeas, fresh coriander/parsley/dill/mint… plus cumin, hint of chilli, shallots, apricots and dates.

Full of Middle Eastern flavour. Delish…!

Now to make a hummus accompaniment…

"So i just came out to my dad abt being nb, and he said something really wise about names, i think. He said "Gifts are not obligations. You give things to people, and you hope they like them. And your name was a gift from us to you. If it doesn't work for you anymore, you're not obligated to keep it."
And I just thought maybe other people could use hearing something like that.
