New Fury In The Slaughterhouse single dropped. Good stuff, and I've met the video's director, Olaf, a bunch of times when hanging out with the band. Great job, Olaf! It looks spectacular!

it’s about to get weird
Holy shit, there's an open carry #2A protest of ICE happening in Douglas County Colorado -- a very wealthy and very red suburb county of Denver. (I lived there for 16 years.) The Trump Administration pissing off committed gun owners sufficiently for them to join the protests against ICE is wild.

Seriously, folks, let's get the guillotines ready. They've made it clear - it's us or them.
And you 2nd Amendment folks? Pretti was legally carrying a gun he did NOT draw. So let's see your outrage now. Otherwise your bullshit is performative.

The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon.

Here's a regular white guy (literally "Chad") not a protester. because, "It seemed pointless, or just a way for people to expiate their sense of guilt." Chad witnessed something shattering. And, that all changed in a moment.
Excellent article!

I've gotten two dozen emails from the Democratic Party asking me to donate. I haven't and I won't, until shit like this stops.

Was pleased to see Joe Carnahan back in tip top form with "The Rip," an utterly tense and stylish thriller/action movie done with some of the best neo-noir cinematography I've seen in a long time. I was reminded of Michael Mann's "Heat" in a lot of great ways. Worth your time to watch on Netflix.

If you want people to stop treating ICE/DHS like Gestapo, stop letting them ACT like Gestapo.
Seriously. Just start arresting all ICE agents now. They're clearly not going to stop until they're stopped.

To expect anyone to be able to prove citizenship on demand is obscene.
To expect it of a sixth grader is completely through the looking glass. When I was that age I had a hard time not losing my gloves, but kids of color are supposed to carry passports at all times?

Honestly, the first reporter who tells Trump, "Can we speak to Stephen Miller, you know, the person actually in charge?" will both be immediately ejected from the White House, but also probably fix the country, as Trump's ego refuses to share the spotlight, which means Miller would have to go.
i think it is simply true that for all intents and purposes stephen miller is the president of the united states

Abolish ICE. Destroy their weapons and melt down their equipment. Deny their agents, employees, and bosses all government employment for all time. Remove the agency entirely from the budget and give the money to public libraries and free health care.

Rep. Angie Craig: "We were told because this facility is being funding by the 'Big Beautiful Bill,' not the congressional appropriations act, that we would not be allowed to enter the facility. That's complete nonsense ... I informed them they were violating the law. They said they didn't care."

At some point in the very near future, we're going to have all of these "ICE Agents" up on trials for war crimes.
This bullshit is done. Tell me you're going to put all these criminals in jail, and you'll have the votes of 2/3rds of this country.
Kristi Noem, your total lies are despicable.

We’re done with your gaslighting, Stephen Miller.
Even if the officer were run over, it’s not domestic terrorism.
But as you can see from the path of the car after she was shot, she was trying to drive away.
You are inciting untrained thugs to murder Americans.
This is on you.

Turns out Netflix has put up one of my favorite revenge movies ever up for viewing again, "Man On Fire," featuring Denzel at full ferocity in one of Tony Scott's best pics. Seriously, if you're angry at the world, this is the film for your mood now...

We had an OK soda machine in the atrium of my high school for my sophomore and junior year, but by senior year, it was gone and we were all a little less joyous because of it...
Wow I totally forgot about this. If you ever wondered what’s wrong with Gen X, this is us when we were young:)
