When you collect ephemera from a record label and open a random cabinet and everything just.. falls out. So you arrange, snap a pic, and then stuff back in the cabinet. Right @musicephemera.bsky.social ?

DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate β€” and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August.

He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA.

The grift continues.

β€˜Nazi heaven’: Inside Miami campus Republicans’ racist group chat The chat is the subject of a Florida International University police investigation.

The secretary of Miami-Dade County’s GOP started a group chat for conservative students β€” and within 3 weeks, it was filled with over 400 instances of the N-word, Nazi rhetoric and writings of "dozens of ways of violently killing Black people"

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.

Reminder that Congress has the power to stop this.

My sister blindsided me with this pic from 1987 last night. More proof I’ve dressed like an old man since I could dress myself.

This was definitely the right call for last day of vacation in the desert since I’m now surrounded by 38” of snow.

Wanted to go for a walk in the hills of Phoenix with my friend and it rained the moment we opened the car doors at the trail. Ah well. It was still 63 degrees and not snowing like back home.

At tonight's TPUSA white supremacist Super Bowl halftime show, will Kid Rock sing about how much he likes raping underage girls *before* or *after* the Heritage Foundation's glitzy performance of "Springtime for Hitler"?

1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

Something orange and 80 is being is being kicked to the curb. But, sadly, not the *worst* thing that is orange and 80.

In a blistering ruling, a Bush-appointed conservative federal judge said that ICE "has likely violated more court orders in January 2026 than some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence."

Congress must not give one more cent to this rogue agency.

Underneath the name Charlie Hebdo is a pile of bloodied dead bodies representing US citizens killed by ICE. The pile of bodies are collected in one corner to represent the stars of the US flag and the streaks of blood caused by them being dragged across the ground form the red and white stripes. In the foreground an armed skinhead officer with an ICE vest is dragging his latest victim with multiple gunshots to join the pile. The world is watching in horror.

Did my usual walk in the middle of the snowstorm but didn’t last long (this one is really just too cold). But the quiet and snow to the face were what I needed to not be angry and heartbroken for a moment. Stay safe y’all. But stay engaged. When’s the general strike? I’m ready. 🩡
