The problems at the isolated SANAE IV base stem from email allegations that a team member attacked the base leader and made threats.

@Lana Only problem with throwing something at someone, whether lethal or not & whether it hits them or not, is that that's legally considered an #assault & is subject to #CriminalProsecution. It becomes #battery if you actually hit the person with the object. So, be forewarned. Do so at your own risk.

A few hours ago, @nytimes wrote:
«"It is very clear that, if there is a middle of all of this hot mess of division, Americans want us to work together when we can and find common ground," Sen. Amy Klobuchar tells the Opinion writer Michelle Cottle.»
I'm going to pray that they've been sitting on that quote for weeks and that it's not the evidence of dangerous cluelessness by Klobuchar that it appears to be.
I think Americans want first for Congress to save Democracy, Amy. Because control of the public's attention is easily manipulated in social media, they may not realize it's in mortal danger, but it's Congress' job to know that fact.
If they, Democrats and Republicans alike, aren't describing it as a full-on assault on the Constitution, a coup, a sudden & complete dismantling of Democracy via a prior published & detailed plan, then they aren't solving the right problem and show no evidence of paying attention.
Even 4 years ago, on January 6, it wasn't "business as usual". We needed Congress on that day to continue a Constitutional government but NOT to hear budget debates and such mundane legislative things. We knew we were UNDER ATTACK.
This, now, today, is an ESCALATION OF THAT ATTACK, and she's talking like she wants to ignore it, treating this as an ordinary work day. Work together by IMPEACHING maybe, but nothing less. Do not underestimate the seriousness and urgency of what's going on. Do not get distracted.
If Congressfolk don't see this as an escalation, maybe because it's a "white collar" attack not (yet) involving guns, they can't respond properly. They must stop talking about this as something to legislate their way out of. We in the US are under a real time administrative assault. Stop taking weekends & holidays. This is not a schedulable event. They are preying on your willingness to pretend it can have a leisurely pace.
Congress has long been soft on white collar crime, treating it as a privilege of the elite, the donor class. Perhaps it's become invisible to them, even as it's far more sweeping and hurtful than much street crime. Maybe a white collar coup is then likewise invisible. We need them to wake up and SEE.
This time they're using ID cards to get into buildings they're taking over, but there's more to Constitutional government than right of entry. The Constitution spells out limits on power. They're violating limits so fast they can't all be checked fast enough. A Gish gallop assault on policy & power.
Sadly, I predicted this crisis on the ex-bird site Oct 13, 2016 (before 2016 vote). Talking Points Memo (TPM) had cited USA Today on Trump's propensity for legal challenges. I expected the same with Constitutional challenges. Just as happened. Our system barely handles a few challenges a year, not thousands.

(This post is an expanded form of a thread I just posted to BlueSky.)
Today I was assaulted in the street at six in the evening. Fortunately, there were no serious consequences for me.
It happened to me many times in the past and it hadn't happened again for 14 years.
I'm getting older now and today I realized that I'm no longer in a condition to fight like before. So it will be time to go out on the street with a gun again.
If I choose a firearm I will have to buy it. Otherwise for now it will be one of my knives or my little mini katana.
The world is becoming more and more dangerous.
Today was the 16th time I've been attacked and I didn't lose anything. But you don't always win in these things.
Nothing happened to me, a brief fight and there were police nearby who saw the situation.
Justice delayed is justice denied.
A brave woman
