He/Him. Bi dude. AuDHD. Expect cannabis advocacy, responsible gun ownership advocacy, LGBTQ+ advocacy, leftism, anti-MAGA, and more references to The Wire, Dark Souls, and The Big Lebowski than you could ever possibly care for.

Looking at the mug shots Bondi posted of folks who allegedly impeded ICE officers... I'm reminded me of some of the iconic 1960s images of 'criminals' from counter sitins and freedom rides

“I’m not surprised this happened,” Ilhan Omar attacker Anthony Kazmierczak’s brother said. “Not at all. Unfortunately, he and my mother are both right-wing extremists.”
"In my mind, he’s a piece of s**t," he added.

🧵What the #Trump years have taught me is that while there may be such a thing as #conservative ideology, there are practically no conservative ideologues. Every little thing that we've been told conservatives believe in like low taxes, small government, right to bear arms, individualism...

The President of the United States has incited this kind of action against a sitting, Black woman member of Congress. Where is the “tone down the rhetoric” brigade?

Bovino is just the patsy - a noxious and odious fall guy. Stephen Miller is the architect and prime mover of the whole thing. Everything they do is at his direction - often after his threats. As long as he runs policy in the WH, nothing will change no matter how many Bovinos come and go.

I have an idea for a modest series of posts: Billionaire Hall of Blood. Let's start from Dell.
Will comment what I found about the company and the boss - you can use it to help unplug ICE.

🧵How did we get here? Well, a lot of reasons, but a good place to start is that US never truly reconciled with our racist past. No one ever wanted to "insult" white US history students by explaining the hurt and horror that their own parents' beliefs invariably cause when allowed into public policy

He put his personal lawyers atop many agencies upon securing an agreement that they would continue to act as his personal lawyers, no matter their title.
How many years are we planning to wait for corporate media to pick up on this obvious ploy?

Bondi Desperately Tries to Keep Damning Trump Files Hidden Forever
The rest of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s report on Trump’s classified documents should remain in the DOJ, Pam Bondi argued.

Democrats needing to message on affordability as the country endures a brutal authoritarian takeover is tragic. Take it from someone who lives in occupied Minneapolis. Our problems go deeper than prices.

Ask yourself what you would have thought 20 years ago if someone had told you schools would be issuing warnings to stay away from federal agents. If this disgusts you, then please be prepared to commit to a #generalstrike. It might be our only way out of this.
There is no level to which these heartless shit-for-brains won’t stoop to inflict cruelty and suffering.

At this point I question whether orange diaper man even has fucking object permanence.
Norwegian PM Støre says Trump repeatedly raises—complains about, pleads for, and demands—the Nobel Peace Prize every time they meet. Støre gives same answer each time: decision is made independently by Norwegian Nobel Committee, with no role for Norwegian gov—a concept Trump appears unable to grasp.

2026 is going to be a very dark year for US foreign policy, where everything that was built over many decades by leaders for collective security is torn apart by one madman, but only because people in his own party remain silent.
