Okay, I'm making up a "Nice" list, like I'm fuckin' Santa Claus, bitches. BUT! You only make my list if you're a member of the US Congress and you stand up for trans people, like Rep.-Elect McBride. So far I have Ocasio-Cortez, Frost, and Robert Garcia. If you know of any others, let me know.
Just spent an hour looking at how the Washington Metro has expanded since I was last in the District in 1989, wishing to the gods that Columbus had any sort of public goods insight.

This was just me making this comparison yesterday, but today the Korean news is calling Minnesota "America's Gwangju" and have human rights lawyers explaining how America is now living through the dictatorship Korea once had.
The Chun regime that my wife fought against in the 80s did the exact same thing. They needed a "crisis" that "only they could solve" to hoard more ill-gotten power, so they chose one city (Gwangju), declared its inhabitants enemies, sent trucks full of soldiers to violently attack and kill them.

Good. I don't want to see his corpulent, atherosclerotic ass on my TV while I'm watching my Patriots, so fuck him five ways sideways.
Bad Bunny and Green Day are both scheduled to perform at the event. They have been vocal critics of Trump and his administration.
“I’m anti-them,” Trump said. “I think it’s a terrible choice. All it does is sow hatred. Terrible.”

TikTok is under right wing billionaire control now. Plan your exit strategy.
This morning, I recorded a video on TikTok about why DHS’s arguments for the power to enter homes without judicial warrants in immigration cases are bunk.
Nine hours later, TikTok still says my video is “under review,” and can’t be shared.
Well, here’s a link:

We got no investigation whatsoever for Renee Good. Todd Blanche said he watched the video and there was no need. Now we will get a rigged investigation on Pretti with DHS investigating itself to determine if DHS did anything wrong, and zero oversight from the Republican Congress.

“He’s killing us in the streets and we still have to pay our taxes in April” is an incredibly compelling point.
Before speaking with two armed men at the Pretti vigil last night, a man approached & asked if I was going to tell the truth. I said yes. He told me how frustrated he was at the media & the harm it’s causing to his community.
I asked if he wanted to share words for the media on camera, & he did:

Feels like it should be a pretty big deal that a Trump supporter physically assaulted a Democratic congressman
Last night, I was assaulted by a man at Sundance Festival who told me that Trump was going to deport me before he punched me in the face. He was heard screaming racist remarks as he drunkenly ran off. The individual was arrested and I am okay.

US citizen. Public servant. Licensed to carry a firearm but had no weapon in hand when killed. Attacked by ICE agents with chemical munitions for no reason, then shot.

Noem lies shamelessly: "An individual approached order Patrol officers with a 9mm semi-automatic gun. The officers attempted to disarm this individual, but the armed suspect reacted violently. This looks like a situation where an individual arrived to inflict maximum damage and kill law enforcement"

A nurse attempts to assist a woman who has been being manhandled, they both get maced, thenthey get separated, each pushed down to the ground, then an agent unholsters his gun and unloads an entire magazine into the nurse. This is not law enforcement; this is murder in cold blood.
Just regular old murder from the look of it he was on his knees with both hands on the ground and they just tried to shoot him in the head first thing.
