Oh really?
Here's what "inviting violence" looks like.
And this is what it looks like when your immigration plans invite violence.
So, I dunno, doesn't it sound like he's threatening the Biden administration with unleashing these murderous thugs on the public yet again?

Let's ask our next guest.
Oh, you don't say.
Those guys leading the assault on the Capitol, known as the Oath Keepers, were just "a coalition of former police, military and public officials," after all, right?
Of course, we understand that your worldview reflects the company you keep. It's important to keep your mind open to all kinds of views, correct? Thanks for coming by.

It’s MLK Day, so here are some shots I took in Selma a few years ago of the memorial to him at the Brown Chapel AME church there.
The thing about Selma is that it has always been majority black, but for years it was run by whites who had multiple ways of intimidating black people into silence and disenfranchisement. Which was what the March to Montgomery was all about.
That particular legacy can also be found around the town: In the name of the bridge (Pettus was a Klan leader), and in the Confederate cemetery, where there’s a memorial to Nathan Bedford Forrest, the KKK founder.

This year I decided I needed an antidote to the ugliness that appears regularly on my timeline. Knowing that getting a daily dose of natural beauty is key to my own mental health, I began sharing a daily (well, sorta) photo of the beauty I’ve seen over the years: #TodaysBeauty.
Over half of the #TodaysBeauty shots have been from my photo archives, but I also posted a large number of pix that were contemporaneous. So to celebrate the New Year, here is a thread of some of my favorites, mostly taken this year, month by month. Enjoy!

I have often mentioned how many of these “Patriots” and “constitutionalists” are in fact scam artists. Here’s another one.

Bunny was one of the far-right sheriffs who met with Jeff Sessions and other senators to bash Obama’s immigration policies in December 2014.

There was a group of “Patriots” who came to D.C. that day to support the sheriffs. While the meeting with Sessions et al was taking place, these characters were protesting outside the White House demanding the president be lynched.

I decided to delete this tweet because (a) enough readers provided me with evidence to persuade me that the Sunshine folks have indeed protested Republicans, and (b) my concerns about the politics of attacking allies were off in this case.
I still have a lot of reservations about how some progressives sometimes conduct their politics -- longtime readers know I have zero patience for faux progressives who focus all their efforts on attacking Democrats while ignoring or even bolstering Trump (koff greenwald koff).
And Sunshine has indulged this tendency somewhat. But in this instance, I don't think that was what was happening here.

OK, just to keep ourselves from going mental today, here’s a thread of whales from around the world.

First, some whale music to play while scrolling.
