Stephen Miller would have grown taller were it not for his Grinch heart sized three times too small.

Today is a good day. I need to get out and enjoy the 71° weather!

Happy Diwali!

Neurodivergence is a blessing in how it efficiently sorts the assholes from the decent people online. I don’t even respond to their nastiness, I just block them. Believe the assholes when they show you who they are. Life is too short to needlessly endure assholery from people you don’t want to know.

Israel will continue to kill Palestinians with impunity. Sign this global petition to grow our coalition to demand Palestinian Statehood. bit.ly/4nEUKjT

Palestinians need and deserve self-determination. Period.

ProPublica reports that ICE fascists have detained at least 170 US CITIZENS. ICE fascists "dragged, tackled, beat, tased, and shot them." At least 3 women were pregnant, one had her door blown off while Noem watched.

All have one thing in common—they're brown Latino Americans.

This Is Fascism.

Thank White Jesus for Zofran. It’s been a bad nausea day. I’m finally keeping some oatmeal down tonight.

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

BREAKING from PP

We found immigration agents have held more than 170 *citizens*

The govt doesn't track citizens held. So we did. We tallied:

Nearly 20 kids, two w/ cancer

More than 20 citizens held for day or more, incommunicado

Trump says his $40B bailout for Argentina's failing libertarian economy is "not gonna make a big difference for our country."

Really?

Imagine if we invested those billions on healthcare and housing for Americans, instead of bailing out Trump's pals abroad.

Getting older is an endless assault of increasingly debilitating infirmities until you give up the ghost.

But then, I’ve always been overly optimistic. 😉

From the Ulogila (Cloud) family to your Indigenous family, we are glad that you and yours are still here.

Survive with a vengeance. It’s what they fear the most.

Too late. Bibi nixed the ceasefire to avoid his corruption trial yet again. He keeps telling Israelis how his freedom from just prosecution is worth more than their actual lives every day.

Trump signed an EO to combat "anti-Christian bias."

This week ICE shot a Christian Pastor, David Black & not one MAGA politician, pundit, or person has bothered to condemn it. Instead they celebrate it.

It was never about anti-Christian bias—it was always about fascism masquerading as Christianity

BlinkRX, an online prescription drug delivery company, stands to benefit from proposed changes by Trump that would allow pharmaceutical companies to sell drugs directly to patients.

His son, Eric Trump, is on the company’s board.

Always follow the money.

White people: “This is uncharted land…”

Natives: Bitch, it’s charted! It’s been charted for thousands of years. Just b/c a white man hasn’t been there doesn’t mean it’s “uncharted.” We just don’t share shit with you anymore. We won’t. You poison the water & you desecrate our sacred sites.

Nope.

From Ann Coulter calling for more dead Indians, to Pete Hegseth glorifying the brutal massacre of more than 200 women & children, to all of you justifying the culture of racism in your fucking sports teams on Sundays, murdered Natives is the American theme. Clearly. Prove me wrong. Try.

This is how stupid they are:

“You’re in America! Don’t speak that foreign language here!”

Bitch, English comes from England. It’s literally foreign.

I’ll play your game:

If an NFL team was named the Chiefs, but they were “honoring” African chiefs, would it be acceptable for fans to show up in blackface? Bang drums? War whoop?

And then a black man says to a white man:

“That’s offensive.”

Then a white fan responds:

“But we’re honoring you.”

I’ve got his plenary power right here.

Texas man accused of plotting Pride parade shooting as revenge for Charlie Kirk Exclusive: ‘Come on bro let’s go hunting fairies,’ Joshua Cole wrote to a friend two days before the Abilene Pride Parade, according to an FBI probable cause affidavit reviewed by The Independent

Jimmy Kimmel was suspended by ABC after pressure from the United States government. This is a direct attack on the First Amendment.

Everyone who values freedom of speech should be outraged — and they should speak out.

BREAKING: FBI confirms Kirk shooter drove vehicle with something called a "transmission" connected to the engine

Don’t have a flying eff to give Nazis who incite violence and then are hoisted by their own petard. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

The high school shooting, on the other hand, I care about. My condolences to the families planning funerals today.

My neighbor in Orlando mentioned this EXACT concern to me last night!

Okay, he's not dead

Back to the topic at hand: where are the Epstein files?

Taking a page from astrophysicists, when I encounter something troubling that I can’t explain, I’m going to start blaming Dark Matter.
