Flirting with martial law for Hitler's birthday
This garland is a real product that is sold in stores, that apparently people buy?

Is this really happening?

Genuinely, who knows, we live in the upside down now. What we do know is that on January 20, an executive order was put in place that gave a 90 day window for the White House to potentially invoke the Insurrection Act related to "threats at the southern border." So that would allow him to deploy the military domestically and declare martial law. 90 days later. Which happens to be Hitler's birthday. There is a pretty reserved Snopes article about all this that basically says, "Well, this could happen, but we don't know that it will happen. Yet."

What I also know is that this week's Hate Group and Government (ha, are they even different categories anymore?) news is easily two to three times as long as LGBTQ and Abortion threat news, so that's... something. I guess the general threats venn diagram has really just become a circle.

This week ahead:
