ICE arrested comedian Robby Roadsteamer for singing a parody of Rod Stewart’s “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy” in a Jeffrey Epstein the Giraffe costume outside their facility.

He sings “If you hate brown people / and you are a Nazi” and ICE thugs grab him and drag him into detention. No violence—just speech.

This though. It takes deliberate work to not know and realize that the wannabe king of the small government party is a rapist and close friend of a known pedophile. And he takes money from foreign governments and doesn't seem to care at all for the true security of our country. Just flagrant

i mean, if people are going to insist on continuing to do the political equivalent of taking their dicks out in a restaurant i guess there is not much we can do. but for the rest of us, aka polite society, voting republican should be treated like taking your dick out in a restaurant

Reading drama between various folks I follow and find generally the posting of interesting and good is something. Like I'm pretty sure you all agree and are on the same side for almost everything. Maybe remember to be generous in public

Maybe the only thing I've read that makes me want to try and get into the show again

There’s 1,000 times more chatter about the Maine senate race in a year than about Maine’s ballot measure in 3 weeks that’d bring voter ID and crack down on mail voting… maybe let’s start there??? boltsmag.org/maine-questi...

A Ballot Measure Targets Mail Voting in Maine - Bolts

Question 1, on the November ballot, would set up a barrage of new restrictions on absentee ballots that would considerably affect older voters and people with disabilities.

The whole "president signs memo/issues proclamation giving himself new powers" framing to stories really downplays what is happening. Dude just says he can do whatever and it is taken as more than rambling is a bad dynamic

Nobody ever wants to talk about or admit this but it happened.

Taking in refugees isn't just a nice thing we do — we have a legal obligation. The 1951 Refugee Convention came about specifically because countries like the US refused entry to Jews who were trying to escape Germany, because the world didn't ever want that to happen again.

2/ Democrats aren't going to vote for a budget that throws millions off health care and funds Trump's growing totalitarianism. At least I'm not.

Why work so hard to get to the Senate if you don't use your power to fight for what you believe in? Especially at a time like this.

I'd probably say something along the lines of "thanks! Are you saying I'm not pretty now?"

yeah - I was impressed by the token-prediction as being as powerful as it is, but there's more going on than that and I don't really follow it any more.

Feels like a clue that maybe they don't use these services, because I'd love to ride some of the stuff that is supposedly in the works, and figure I have twenty years before moving back would mean I had good access to it

Got my shots today. Easy as could be. Walked up to the pharmacist, asked for the COVID and flu. Even had COVID options because I guess they are fancy. Had to wait about ten minutes because man, pharmacists look over worked these days. Then a nice lady stuck me twice. I forgot my lollipop though

This used to be homes, and businesses and lives and dreams. What if the storms in north Carolina, or the floods in Texas, or the fires in LA were every day. And someone was doing that on purpose.

Remember to dip your chicken in mayonnaise on occasion. It is food for you. Do this while reading about industrial chicken farming and wonder at the complexity of life

So much of this fight is reminding people what a great concept freedom and democracy are and how we could be living a good life together if it weren't for the most miserable losers running everything
