The Cynics had five core principles:

1. Ἀρετή (Aretē) – Virtue as the Only Good
2. Αὐτάρκεια (Autarkeia) – Self-Sufficiency
3. Παραρρησία (Parrēsia) – Frank Speech
4. Ἀναίδεια (Anaideia) – Shamelessness
5. Κατὰ φύσιν ζῆν (Kata physin zēn) – Living According to Nature

These are the Way of the Dog.

This morning, I went to see what were supposed to be the completely unredacted Epstein files. However, some of the files were still redacted by Kash Patel’s FBI.

Here’s my reaction.

Here's the property management company that leases space in Tukwila, WA to DHS and who will apparently be leasing one of these offices mentioned in the article, in case anybody wants to say anything to them. sabey.com/real-estate/...

Martin Selig, ICE's landlord in Seattle, who fled Nazi Germany as a child in 1939, refused to stop renting to Trump's Gestapo. Now 19 of his downtown properties are in receivership including the one that housed ICE, he's defaulted on almost a billion in debt. Biblical fates await ICE collaborators.
NEW: ICE has a plan to lease offices across the US as part of a secret, months-long expansion campaign.

Today, @wired.com is publishing dozens of those locations. Many are near schools, medical offices, and places of worship.

Vital work from @leahfeiger.bsky.social that I'm proud to publish.

I’m glad to see people protesting Discord forcing IDs for age verification, but what I need everyone to understand is that there’s immense bipartisan pressure to make the entire internet like this, and they are likely going to succeed unless something drastic happens

Hot damn, inject this STRAIGHT into my veins.
McIVER: Do you consider yourself a religious man?

LYONS: Yes mam

McIVER: How do you think judgment day will work for you with so much blood on your hands?

LYONS: I'm not going to entertain that question

Save this for every time some Blue MAGA Dem defender comes at you with "But what can the minority party DOOOOOO? Their poor hands are TIIIIIED!"

There is a long list of things they can "DOOOOO" that they are choosing NOT to do. Here's the list.
"But what can Democrats do, they're out of power?"
I get that question a lot.
So I made this guide.
Because members of Congress have a lot of power, even in the minority - especially in the Senate.

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

The contact # is on the website I linked to. At this point it's still unconfirmed, but I'm waiting for an email reply to see if we can get confirmation in writing.

ICE is expanding their offices in a bunch of cities. The closest one to Seattle is Tukwila (where they already have a building) and it looks like these guys own the building they're moving into. I'm gonna contact them and see what they have to say for themselves. sabey.com/real-estate/...

PLEASE, friends from out state and other states - spread this! It's true. They are still hitting our area up here in St. Cloud and the surrounding rural communities just as hard.

ICE is not backing off. It was an optics statement from the admin and it doesn't mean jack shit.

i think this more than anything is what miller wants. vast detention camps with all of the suffering and death that means.
ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.

If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

Glad to know you’re in favor of funding concentration camps.

This is torture. The US is torturing children. Children whose words and whose art contain infinitely more humanity than the people keeping them detained.

I know nobody on Patty’s team reads these replies, but just in case one of you gets bored, can you ask her why she’s not doing something about the concentration camps where children are dying?

GODDAMMIT, PATTY! They're BUILDING CONCENTRATION CAMPS AND TORTURING CHILDREN! They're opening hundreds of mini-Dachaus all over the country and you want to just "REIN THEM IN." FUCKING CHRIST, this is PATHETIC!

So SICK of Congressional Dems and their milquetoast whining.
