Boring, Nerdy, husband and dad. Would much rather not be living in interesting times. In simpler days I enjoyed DND, video games, fantasy novels, hiking, shooting, and over priced whiskey and craft beer. When in doubt, eldritch blast a fascist. He/him.

Sen. PADILLA: This Justice Department fired a 15-year career prosecutor who put away sex traffickers and transnational terrorists. She was marched out of her office. Why? Because she had the audacity to remind Border Patrol that it should follow court orders.

It's amazing that they've produced an entire party of Trumps not just in terms of the fascist politics but in the sense that almost all of these people are incapable of processing anything more complex than lines of tweets

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Graphic with Senator Warren asking: Is it consistent with the First Amendment for DOD to revoke a reporter’s press credentials for publishing a story that’s critical of President Trump?

DoD official responds:  Yes... If the basis was that the person published information that was not otherwise approved for release by the Department.

Senator Warren Responds: Whoa.

Trump’s nominee to be the Army’s lawyer is confused about the First Amendment.

Independent journalists must be free to report the facts without fear of retaliation.

If we're sending troops to war under false pretenses, Americans have a right to know.

Guys, every person you see on Fox News in a mask is just Robert O'Neill, retired Navy Seal and occasional Fox News contributor. He's the former Antifa, former Gazan, former gang member. His eyes are very unique.

This is the best evidence I’ve ever seen that we’re living in a simulation. Some very bored higher dimensional being is using the most off the wall mods for the Bethesda game that is our reality while they wait for the next game they want to release. Only explanation I can wrap my head around.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Federal Agents Storm South Shore Building, Detaining Families and Children Families were woken by flashbangs and helicopters as hundreds of federal agents raided their homes. Days later, neighbors are still searching for the missing.

Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here.

Confirms one thing I was told but didn't put in my own piece because I didn't have a second source and it seemed too insane: border agents segregated arrested residents by race

Outcry as Trump plots the plunder of US forests: "You can almost hear the chainsaws" Public comments suggest repealing the Clinton-era "roadless rule" is wildly unpopular.

In 1999, Bill Clinton announced that β€œthe last, best unprotected wild lands anywhere in our nation” would be shielded by a new rule that banned roads and drilling.

Today, these lands could soon see chainsaws and logging trucks amid a push by Trump to raze these ecosystems for timber.

I don’t have anything that resembles a faith anymore, but even the conservative church I was raised in would have lost its mind to hear something like this when I was growing up. I know the bones of this were always there, but it’s still surreal to see how far the β€œChurch” as a whole has gone.

The subhed here is a master class in corporate journalism rewarding malfeasance via semantics

Bondi didn't valiantly fend something off, she refused to answer legitimate questions before Congress because the answers would be horrifying and politically inconvenient

And that's a profile in cowardice

500 hospitals, nursing homes, and clinics are at risk of closing because of the Trump-Republican big, ugly bill. Many are in rural areas.

Meanwhile, Republican-held US House districts and states Trump won in 2024 rely more on ACA coverage.

They're selling out their own voters.

This is exactly what the right wantsβ€” our silence.

They want us afraid and to stop speaking up, to check out, to shut up about politics. We can’t give them that. Not now. Not ever.

When Trump is about to do something awful, he signals ahead so that people can get acclimated to the idea. It reduces the likelihood of a blow up from people due to the shock.

Brace yourselves America. You put him in power. Get ready for the road to fascism to accelerate at a fast pace.

It seems clearβ€”I think to everyone, nowβ€”that a false and illegal invocation of the Insurrection Act is coming before the end of the year. Media outlets should be telling us how they will prepare for this potential Treason. State governments should be telling us. Activists should be developing plans.
