That’s a good one. That wouldn’t have occurred to me.

Like the banana album, one of those that had influence way out of proportion to sales.

Yeah. That’s human nature, though.

At my public high school we made trips to a cattle breeder (we got to see the semen collection process up close) and a brewery. That’s life In Wisconsin.

You know, I like but don’t love the Cubs (I support my local Washington Nationals) but your devotion to the team makes me happy.

🧵 I'm excited to share that my article "Democratic Backsliding and the Limits of Civilian Control of the Military" has been accepted @thejop.bsky.social.

It answers the question "how ought militaries act when civilian leaders turn on democratic institutions?"

New — Video shared with me shows ICE officers in DC detaining a man on Friday.

Bystander filming asks man for his name. ICE agent lies and says he’s not allowed to speak to him “by law” and another says “We’ve arrested American citizens for being too close…If he gets any closer, put him in cuffs.”

My first thought was “wow I hope this guy didn’t give out his name because he could absolutely be charged” and yup, he is correct to stay anonymous.

This man’s account is shocking. His neighbors’ situation is shocking. The entire Chicago raid is shocking.

On the other side was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for his help.
"I wasn't planning on letting her stay, but I didn't know what the hell was going on," the man said of his Venezuelan migrant neighbors. But he quickly relented. The little girl was inconsolable and hid under his bed.
"I didn't want them to take her," said the man, who didn't want to be named because he fears he'll be targeted by federal authorities for his actions.
"I gave her my bedroom, and I just told her,
'Just stay there. Don't open, don't, shh, just stay quiet," he recalled telling the mom and daughter as he choked back tears.

I’m guessing it was Bondi trying to fake an accent.

This is a whole thread of powerful insights into how we can take down the organized, powerful, and well-funded ANTIFA terror network.

derek guy @dieworkwear.bsky.social · 5d

a friend of mine in antifa told me that antifa's headquarters is SHEIN and if the company fell the whole network would fall

Ted Kinnaman @tkinnama.bsky.social · 5d

That’s hilarious.

“Someone” cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second.

We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’
