Every Gen Xer needs a quirky hobby. Everyone younger than us has one, but we made fun of each other for our quirks.

It's OK! Get with the times. Go nerd out about something & meet people! Great way to build community.-

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Here's the thing, Greg — free speech is still protected by the First Amendment under the Constitution.

If you want folks to stop saying you're the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people, maybe stop acting like the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people.
Bovino: "When politicians, community leaders, & some journalists engage in that heated rhetoric we keep talking about, when they make the choice to vilify law enforcement calling law enforcement 'Gestapo' or using the term 'kidnapping,' that is a choice & there are actions & consequences."

I constantly remind myself of what a Hitler scholar identified as the biggest similarity between Hitler and Trump: Going from one defeat, from one catastrophe, to another and declaring them all victories.
In case you're wondering what a Hitler scholar thinks Trump had most in common with Hitler.

The majority of organizing happening in Minnesota isn’t just peaceful, it’s INVISIBLE. Moms showing up who won’t be interviewed on TV, people whose ICE patrols don’t turn into viral video. The grocery runs, the donations, the people filming bc they happen to be there. Please remember this.

This is why we want exceptional people like Dr. Butler teaching our young people, and elders. 😀

America as you have known it dying because we have to build this country better. Full stop. Holding on to the fantasy nostalgia doesn't help the people of Minneapolis, or anyone captured by ICE. You have lived with an illusion of freedom, but this is Authoritarianism 101.

They're not like the SS or the Gestapo. That grants them far too much power and focus.

They're like the thugs, the disaffected veterans, the extremists and chancers that joined the Sturmabteilung or 'SA'.

The official policy of the government of the United States of America is that they will murder anyone they want, that they will tell any lie necessary to justify that murder, and that no one who resists them has any rights they are bound to respect.

The Bugbear Dispatch is back to help us American bugbears navigate 2026!

If you had to describe the first two weeks of this year in one word, which would you pick?

For me, the word is surreal. Here I discuss the situation and my thoughts on how to cope:
