I love this picture. I saw a reproduction of it in a comic book when I was six years old, which was a very long time ago, and then I lost the comic book and could not find the picture anywhere.

Years later when the internet became a thing and connections slowly grew fast enough for people to be liberal with their picture uploads and google got really good at the searching thing, I found it again.

I think I stared at it forever that day. Anyway, it’s called the Flammarion Engraving. Nice to see it again.

The best explanation of Tumblr’s appeal that I’ve seen

the real reason i’m still here

The document – reproduced here in an easily searchable format – shows a terrifying network of coordinated DHS, FBI, police, regional fusion center, and private-sector activity so completely merged into one another that the monstrous whole is, in fact, one entity: in some cases, bearing a single name, the Domestic Security Alliance Council.

“The documents, in short, show the cops and DHS working for and with banks to target, arrest, and politically disable peaceful American citizens.”

I can FEEL my blood boiling.

This isn’t a counter offer; it’s a legislative burning cross,” said Democratic consultant Eddie Vale, who has been working with several pro-immigrant groups to pressure Congress over the past few months. “This isn’t an offer of someone who wants to get to a deal—it’s attempting to use the DREAMers as pawns to change the entire legal immigration system and get every item on Stephen Miller’s white supremacist wish list.
