fear reprisal? absolutely.
i draw a silly cartoon that no one sees, and every time i expect to have my door kicked in.
i drop my kids off at school and every time picture what it will be like when ICE shows up and i'm in their face to GTFO.
i 100% expect reprisal.
still gonna speak out, though.

Im white but cant shut up, yes, I fear reprisal from my government for utilizing my free speech.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
Is America safer? Are Trumps policies making life more affordable? Are Tariffs lining your pockets? Are you confident Trump will accept the results of any election? Is there any doubt Pam Bondi works for Trump? If you are any color other than white, do you fear getting detained?

it used to bother me when others would be so empirically absolute in their perspectives, so inflexible. now i just shrug.
it's rather helpful, actually, when challenging people see themselves out.
cheers, Seán, and thank you for your dedicated fandom.

here is a person who has clearly made peace with the knowledge that history will lay bare her hypocrisy, lies, deceit, and moral decrepitude for a very, very long time after she's done walking the earth.

Throwback to Pam Bondi’s campaign ad for Florida AG:
“I’ll fight to put human trafficking monsters where they belong. Behind bars.”
The ad aged. The internet remembers.

Too Much Information is what got me to the album, Come Undone is my standout favorite track.
i was hesitant after Liberty. i was worried and didn't just go buy the album blind as i had done with all the other DD albums.

i've done stupid things, stuff i'm not proud of, and things i'd prefer not sharing publicly. i take great comfort knowing that if i had it all exposed in spectacular fashion for the world to see, i could still look my grandkids in the eyes and they would not be ashamed of me.

when taken into context, you can clearly hear the continuous evolution from Oh No to Shout to Total Devo. you don't get to TD without Shout.

loved this mix on the Greatest Hits cd when it came out, used to blast it at college all the time. kinda sad that the original mix and the Shout album as a whole just didn't land well. kinda fond of that one.
