Tricia McLaughlin’s Top Five Lies The outgoing Homeland Security flack’s pattern of mendacity.

Whether insisting that the immigrants being detained and/or deported are hardened criminals, or that the Americans killed by ICE were domestic terrorists, Tricia McLaughlin has sure told a lot of whoppers.

N.Y.C. Officials Reinstate Pride Flag at Stonewall After Federal Removal

This is the way. When they come at us, we come back at them twofold. Raise that Pride flag every time they take it down. If they prevent that, surround the park with Pride flags. Ruin their petty little lives until they shit rainbows. Never stop. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/12/n...

I haven’t checked my sales reports in a long time but today I learned that since its September release, PLEASE WAIT TO CROSS has sold more than 1,000 copies.

You guys. Thank you. Thank you for embracing Beth and Mike and loving Remy and being glad to attend KK and Jay’s wedding.

A story:
NYT David Brooks writes that the Epstein files are no big deal.
David Brooks is *in* the Epstein files.
NYT is silent.
David Brooks announces he is leaving NYT to pursue new blahblahblah. Also writes 1,000,000 words how he’s still better/smarter than us.
The end.

ILAP Maine

Lewiston, Maine is home to a vibrant and strong Somali community. The federal government has brought its reign of terror to Maine and people are being kidnapped off the streets.
This organization is working hard to protect everyone who needs it, and we can help them.

Our Visibility Brigade message last Sunday. Only 9 🖕from drivers. Hard to be against exposing child rapists I guess.

It was so fun working with Elissa Sweet on the cover of my new novel. To get started, I sent her a chapter and told her the dog had to be included and she sent me her artistic brilliance. A few tweaks and we were done. Find her: elissasweet.com

I’d like to introduce you to Beth Rhinehart.

Soft cover and ebook available- also coming in soon to Bank Square Books in Mystic.

As a survivor, I can't think of a more fitting metaphor than a rapist creating loud noises with planes as a survivor tries to tell her story. I mean... just wow. Nevertheless, she persisted.

Good morning - a little self promotion here. My new book is out! You can find it here: a.co/d/jkS9t9J
Thank you in advance!

So excited to be launching my new novel at my local indie bookstore. Link to register: banksquarebooks.com/event/2025-0...

Release the Epstein files.

They’re totally going to do this.

Art depicting “Sandwich Guy” now at the scene of the alleged misdemeanor.

For tonight’s homework, everyone has to watch the movie “Dave.”

a man in a suit and tie is saying i 'm just trying to be a glass half full guy . ALT: a man in a suit and tie is saying i 'm just trying to be a glass half full guy .

With RFKJr’s plan to kill us all, we can stop worrying about the death of democracy. So, glass half full I guess.

Ban assault weapons.

You know what no one is lighting on fire in the streets? The Epstein files.

I think many Americans wrongly believe there would be one clear unambiguous moment where we go from “democracy” to “authoritarianism.” Instead, this is exactly how it happens — a blurring here, a norm destroyed there, a presidential diktat unchallenged. Then you wake up one morning and our country is different. Today, August 25, 2025, is that morning. Something is materially different in our country this week than last.

Yesterday’s Visibility Brigade in SECT. One guy went to the effort of leaning out his driver side window and shouting “Suck my 🍆.” So everything’s going great.

Me too. It’s just a matter of time.
