In 2026 we're being mean to Democrats and social justice orgs that don't alt text their images. If y'all ain't for folks with disabilities, we're not on the same team.

The killing of Alex Pretti and the grotesque lying was an overreach by the administration. They've paid a price and had to pull back a bit. But it's when there's some disarray that the democratic opposition needs to intensify the offensive, and turn a marginal tactical success into a major victory.

Every regime is subject to public backlash, even authoritarians. They are losing and will keep losing because people refuse to accept the realities of living under fascism.

"Most of the work of writing regulations ISN'T WRITING THE REGULATIONS," I scream at an uncaring administrator who merrily estimates using this bullshit machine that sucks will save me 45 seconds of typing, at the cost of twenty minutes correcting what it typed, to conclude a six-month task.

This is a good time for Dems to send a strong message to folks at ICE: "Whether you are on the streets or behind a desk, get out now before we regain control of Congress. Because we will investigate and prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law. Would be a good way to weaken ICE from within.

I asked if he wanted to share words for the media on camera, & he did:
