Abolish ICE is the conservative idea

The guy worked for Blackwater after his military career and posted a list of wars he wished he had fought in, all while having a Nazi tattoo on his chest. What are we doing here.

There is definitely a “two out of three ain’t bad” joke in this thing, but I’m busy this morning, please go at it

What did you do this week to promote the candidate who is not a Nazi or a jerk or septuagenarian in the primary? Because that’s how to make anyone safer, not being weird to people who aren’t rending their garments enough that a marine is lying about being a lunkhead, but still is not Stephen Miller

I will never pay retail for a bike that isn’t a Townie again. The seat set back far enough that the right size frame can fit me is worth it. So the question is: what’s your Townie? (The brand & design that fits your body.) whatever it is it comes in electric now.

That’s not what I said but OK

i am being absolutely serious here: CENTCOM had one job and it was literally to prepare for an Iran contingency

The opposing party is using my tax money to build concentration camps and pay pardoned J6ers to kidnap children and shoot taxpayers in the street and bomb schoolchildren in Iran. Grow up you putz

Since the 1980s, US policy w/r/t the Middle East has been driven by securing this opening for oil to come out from the Gulf states; this imperative has been an obstacle to changing the relationship w/Israel. Starting a war without a plan to preserve access...you can't overstate the stupidity.

signature deadline is next week I think, "they" may yet do a democracy in Maine (by adding a third person who is neither a white nationalist-curious liar NOR a septuagenarian to the Democratic Primary)

bsky.app/profile/what...

the oppo research dug it up in about 17 minutes but he

did Nazi that coming

(goes to his judgment)

(I'll see myself out)

it's this simple: Graham isn't a Nazi, he's a reformed jerk who can't stop lying about it, which makes it not much of a reform

Get ready to learn to install solar panels, buddy

yep these GOP critters have pressed all patriots who understand how this works to the extremity of 'all I want my representative to do is throw sand in the gears', compromise is no longer useful because they're lawless & have no trustworthy negotiator

this...isn't great

It's funny that the Democratic Party is so unpopular, but it's also a superlatively dangerous, flashing red sign of democratic crisis.

Opposition parties to elected autocrats can become very unpopular because they're trapped between 'business as usual' politics & escalating constitutional conflict.

Pianos are expensive!

I can't help recalling one of the businesses Donald Trump put under by refusing to pay his debts to was a music store in Freehold, NJ. They sent the Trump casino 5 pianos on credit & then lost their shop because Steinway collected from them

so, is that ONE grand piano or...?

already is, man

absolutely dying to investigate this piano purchase

that's the key, for real

a self employed plumber, had he finished college AND served 3 years in combat, is LESS qualified than the day he was discharged to run a complex operation like DHS

don't get me started on the MMA/entertainment through violence experiences, also disqualifying in another way

Marcwayne is not disqualified from running DHS due to not serving in the military or no college degree. He is unqualified because his skills & experiences don't include anything inside a bureaucracy. Running your own plumbing business makes you LESS qualified than any E-4 at the actual job here!

If you’re mad your elected representatives said they could not cross Israel no matter what gross violation of human rights Israel does & wondered what they were not saying: it’s this.

Since 1979 the role of US policy has been to prevent the closure of the Straits.

Bike to free Palestine actions.

USCENTCOM’s entire reason for existence for the last forty years has been to prevent exactly THIS ONE THING from happening

and yet

After revelations that companies like Ring have been selling home security footage to ICE, the most common defense of keeping a camera up seems to be, “But what if I’m stalked?”

And as a violence researcher, I’m just here to state for the record that police do not care about your security footage.

Ok but that One Big Boat is the
USS Ford, now what

Oh no you’re right

But we can’t, is the point

Mines can be dropped off a fishing skiff under sail, for chssakes

Fox News was on at the gym over the weekend and the chyron said "WOKE MAPPING" to refer to gerrymandering and honestly I've gotta hand it to them, it's been rattling around in my head like Beat It for 48 hours.

Talk to management at the gym about why they’re allowing Boomers to be radicalized on the stair stepper?

Calling Cormac McCarthy’s authorial style a “mistake” that AI no longer makes is so funny
