Although it does sound like the police have a suspect. I hope this gets nailed down. The story fits _so_ well with Marge’s latest “defund the FBI” messaging that it seems…suspicious. ---

On a positive note, no mention of race, ethnic background, or religion. (I suspect that’s in the footnotes). ---

Texas passed a law _requiring_ schools to display any poster reading “In God We Trust” that is donated to them by a private citizen.

_Insisting_ it’s a false flag is dumb. But false flags do happen, and it’s often idiots like MTG who do petty shit like this in order to pretend they’re under attack, like the idiot who carved “BO” in reverse on their own face. Also, something something Jussie Smollett probably. I dunno, I didn’t really follow the story. ---

I actually prefer the gay pride one with the tiny, translucent font. Lots of good trouble to get into here: “Thomas Jefferson raped his slaves and was a Deist, not a Christian. In God We Trust” “Religion is the opiate of the masses. In God We Trust” ---

Ideas that the Republican’s have continue to bolster my feeling that they will never be able to organize a civil war. I would be surprised if they could organize a picnic with two friends.
