I really don't want to hear any more hemming and hawing from anyone about whether we're really in full fascist territory or not. Federal goons beat an opposition candidate for office for simply following their orders at a peaceful protest. We're there. Full stop. Now act like it.

After trying to bribe Kilmer Abrego Garcia into pleading guilty by telling him they’d send him to Costa Rica if he did and to Africa if he didn’t, the Trump admin is now refusing to acknowledge that he agreed to be deported to Costa Rica — but won’t plead guilty.

Update on Kilmar Abrego Garcia: While the judge deliberates on whether to release him, DOJ says the US identified a country that will take him: Liberia. Abrego Garcia's lawyers prev had said he was willing to go to Costa Rica and that officials there were amenable; no mention of that buff.ly/sAR7n1Y

Ever see the TV series BrainDead? I sometimes wonder if that's actually what's going on. Ants from space eating people's brains.

Broadview PD instructed us to go into the “free speech zone” early. Last week, they told us to go into the street and then we got beat with batons.

We’ll see what happens!
