“Dr. Frankenstein warns ‘stitched-together revenants’ terrorizing local community”

To paraphrase a great review of the original Alien film: “No one listens to the smart lady, so they all die, and she escapes with her cat. 5 stars.”

Echoes of a very dark past.

I’m horrified by Trump’s order to send 300 National Guard troops to Chicago. We’re only nine months into a four year term and already the president is trying to invade an American city. If you’re in the Guard, you can and should refuse these orders.

At Decatur Book Festival yesterday. Great time. Met so many cool people.

Five days ago, an ICE agent shoved a woman asking questions about the detention of her husband.

Today they attacked two journalists.

We cannot accept or normalize what has now become routine violence at 26 Federal Plaza. It has no place in our city.

J6ers assaulting cops, that’s allwhite!

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

1. Bill Maher is a wretch.
2. “Planning”? Did I get transported back to 2017 somehow?

Weak. @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social — resign.

Would you tell the man kicking your teeth in that you like his taste in boots? Would you smile up at him as you bleed on the ground, hoping for mercy from a merciless thug?

Who are we to need to be *allowed* to hold elections? Why would we ever negotiate with terrorists? Make no mistake, that’s what the GOP is: a terrorist organization.

It’s a seizure of private assets by oligarchs.

I mean, what can one even say in response to this idiocy?

When I saw this post, I thought “yeah, evil never dies” — then I wondered if Dick Cheney is still alive and, I’m sorry to report, he is. Then I was all set to make a joke about how deals with devils must really work, but Satan supposedly punishes the wicked. He’d never work with these assholes.
