The ICE stories in this Reddit thread should shake every American, regardless of party, to their core. We no longer have a Constitution. This is fascism, pure and simple.

My friend wrote a book, so I thought I'd pick up a copy and see what I could learn from him.

This turkey vulture flew right over my head and landed on top of our power pole. It then proceeded to survey its surroundings, without seeming to mind me walking up for a photo opp.

Unless it's a trash hauling company, I agree.

I wish I'd had a real camera, but I did enjoy a much needed break—hiking in the Northern Japan Alps.

Does licking Trump's cornhole count as his personal preference?

There’s death and destruction! A terrible fright!
SURRENDER! I shout with a great deal of might.
So will I or won't I? The world has to guess.
Will I make a big peace? Or a much bigger mess?

Max Hoberman @maxhoberman.bsky.social · Jun 19

I may do it. I might.
I could do it tonight.
I may also just not.
I like keeping them hot.

They want to make deals in a tizzy,
They’re calling and keeping me busy.
But why did they wait? It’s so late in the day,
A week makes a difference, that's all I will say.

I asked Gemini to write a Dr. Suess-style poem based on Trump's blathering here, and I enjoyed the result...

Maybe their identities are anonymous and all that's being voted on is the coolness of their (new) name.

The purpose of these tariffs is to be able to lift them to those who bow down to him and sacrifice their dignity. That is what he did to the GOP, the billionaires, and is doing now to Big Law. Those who stand up will be punished, those who bend a knee and humiliate themselves will be rewarded.

No matter your station in life, there is astoundingly little separating you from those men in that cage behind Kristi Noem. No charges, no attorneys, no hearings, no trial. Just conjecture and brute force could be enough to justify completely dehumanizing you, too.

I wrote about the importance of "prebunking," in light of rumors that Elon Musk may have purchased $40 million in Super Bowl ads to spread misinformation about the "fraud" and "corruption" in this vital agency. I hope you will read and share asharangappa.substack.com/p/prebunking...
