So the national guard let armed fascists raid our entire nation’s capital. That’s what you’re telling me?
Just to be clear: the military who’s job it is to protect the country from foreign invasion isn’t able to keep a bunch of Linuses from invading one of our most important federal buildings. Is that what you’re telling me?
My heart rate is dangerously high
At the end of the day the reason why confederate flag waving maga hat linuses breached the capitol: Some of those that work forces are the same that burn crosses.
Correction: The national guard wasn't called which is its own separate issue, but the Capitol Cop were out here letting these fools in.

The amount of violent suggestions in the replies of those cougar video tweets is exactly why wildlife professionals are desperately trying to the video framed correctly:
He had stalked her and her cubs for a vid and she was responding. Not the other way around.
There is almost an insignificant chance that you’ll ever be stalked by a large predator in North America. We’re talking roughly one person every other year is killed by a wild cougar and that’s not strictly predation, that’s just a general lethal encounter.
But when videos like this circulate paired with a false narrative, the audience begins to believe predators like this are a danger to them and their kids.
