Whenever I see Tom Cox has posted a photo, I get extremely excited for the alt text, like age-8-Christmas-morning excited, and this one definitely does not disappoint.
Every time I walk past this bit of fallen tree I can't help imagining it scuttling around, crablike, after sundown, and getting up to no good.

I think you could get Trump to say he killed Epstein if Obama said Donald was not intelligent enough to pull it off.

In less than a week the Kennedy Center has effectively closed and our local DC paper has been gutted, both by billionaires.

Three rules in FBI firearm training:
1. Always point your weapon downrange
2. Do not point your weapon at anything you do not intend to shoot
3. Don’t put your finger on the trigger unless you intend to shoot
Guns are not for threatening compliance for unarmed people doing things you don’t like

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

There are approximately 3 million undocumented persons in Texas and Florida, and there are about 100,000 in Minnesota. Ask yourself why ICE has been deployed to MN, but not even close to the same way in FL and TX. This isn't about immigration, it is all about politics and retribution.

@repscottpeters.bsky.social @padilla.senate.gov is anyone listening? This is the way.
A competent opposition political party would cut together the footage of what ICE had been doing in the twin cities with Mike Johnson saying "ICE is doing what ICE is designed to do" and have it in ads all across the country
Mike Johnson comes out against additional guardrails on ICE as Democrats call for it.
“I think there's a lot of Democrats playing games right now with national security and with law enforcement. And I think it's dangerous. Ice is doing what ice is designed to do by its very name.”

Disgraced congressman Duncan Hunter got a Trump pardon. Now he wants one for another notorious San Diego son of Washington.
Hunter is using what’s left of his political influence to help Raymond Liddy, son of infamous Watergate figure G. Gordon Liddy, escape his conviction for child pornography.

Not restrictions. Not promised reform. Just no, no, NO more funding for ICE.

Warren: Not without more restrictions. This is an agency that is out of control. If we don’t get some restrictions in place, they’re going to put more American citizens at risk.
