Dogs, politics, social issues. Good in small doses. LGBTQIA & BLM ally. There will be cussing. Blocks malicious ignorance.
Colorado blue. Don't have words big enough to express how much I loathe what's coming & the people who've enabled it.

Gonna keep saying this over & over bc people need to soak this into their core...
Live your values.
Where you spend your money,
What you watch on TV,
What you wear,
Who you celebrate.
It's the greatest power you'll have for the foreseeable future.
Live your values, so you can live with yourself.

Wonder if Bondi's burn book was in anyway related to Ron Wyden's letter last week?

Trump posted a video depicting the first Black president and his wife as apes and his excuse for this is that it's a riff on The Lion King, a movie that does not feature any apes. Somehow this was a one-day story and we've already moved on.

Everyone having a camera in their pocket has really changed things.
Quelle surprise, ICE lies and lies and lies. www.startribune.com/doj-moves-to...

"The USAO said “newly discovered evidence” in case against Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis and Alfredo Alejandro Aljorna is “materially inconsistent” with the allegations initially brought against them in a criminal complaint."
DOJ moves to drop charges against Venezuelan men arrested after ICE shooting
Federal officials for days claimed a snow shovel and broom attack led an agent to shoot one of the men in the leg.

This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.
More than 400 people, including hundreds of citizens, were “sorted” at gun point into racial and ethnic groups by 200 ICE agents who fired flash-bang grenades into cars with people inside, pointed guns at children & demanded their zip tied parents not comfort them. apple.news/Ausdx6kWtT0e...
Idaho families sue over immigration raid that swept up hundreds, including U.S. citizens — NBC News
About 400 people, including children and U.S. citizens, were detained for four hours while they were denied food and water in the raid, according to the lawsuit.

Trying to understand: the Constitution gives Congress the power to impose tariffs. The President imposes tariffs without Congress. Congress passes a law rescinding his tariffs. The President then vetos that law. Seems like something’s wrong here.

Breaking: House passes new version of SAVE Act, worst voter suppression bill considered by Congress. Could disenfranchise:

-21 million Americans w/out access to citizenship papers
-69 mil married women who took partner’s name
-21 mil w/out valid drivers license

So DOD risked civilian airspace to obliterate some fucking balloons; when FAA found out and asked them to stop they refused; FAA did what it had to keep people safe; when the public rightly freaked out, DOD relented, lied, and blamed the FAA.

Sounds like Hegseth!

Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones.

Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.

Great piece!
Aided by genAI models like ChatGPT, “writers” hoping to get paid for fake stories have become an even bigger problem for publications big and small. One such writer almost pulled one over on COYOTE — until @soleilho.com, who is a nerd, spotted a key idiosyncrasy.

It’s great when the Attorney General essentially admits she views money more important than justice.

Its funny, if you lived thru the first mass transition from human customer interfaces to machines, how much people have hated that - always.
And big tech heard that & eliminated humans even more.

So, to wrap up today's insanity:

President Trump, who is deeply implicated in a pedophilia scandal involving his best friend, the sex trafficker, sent Attorney General Bondi -- who only has that job because Trump's first choice was also implicated in a separate pedophilia scandal -- to the House...

I can't think of an attorney general ever showing this much open contempt for Congress before.

Not only would most of them think this kind of conduct was beneath them, they'd have known that the Judiciary Committee chair, whatever the party, would never stand for clownish antics like this.
Bondi is now just straight up ignoring questions from Democratic members

It’s extraordinary that the President of the United States upended a major project involving extensive trade and cooperation with an important ally right after a billionaire pal chatted with a cabinet member, who then apparently had a quick word with Trump about the situation, and everyone yawns.
Remarkable: Trump's deranged threat to block the bridge connecting Detroit to Canada is backfiring, giving Dems a big issue in 2026 races in Michigan, which could help decide control of Congress.

Michigan Dems tell me they'll use this against Republicans big time:
