#DiscGolf under the stars - Last night at our local glow league: dark and cold, a dusting of snow, the #1 basket glowing in the foreground, with the league’s tent, another basket and the moon hanging on the ridge. — magic.
Ever since I learned about house burping I can’t stop.

ICE is a secret police force. No warrants. No courts. No lawyers. And no appeals. People vanish in the night, not because they broke the law, but because the law no longer means anything. The knock on the door is the sentence.

Brooklyn Park police chief Mark Bruley: "We're hearing people being stopped with no cause & being demanded to show paperwork to determine if they're here legally. We started hearing from our police officers the same complaints. Every one of these individuals is a person of color... it has to stop"

This is on you, Congress. Every single member of Congress who does not support impeachment, removal, and prosecution right now is complicit.

Some perspective: The S&P opened down -1.3% on Trump's Greenland saber-rattling. That's $750 billion of wealth destroyed -- roughly equal to estimates of the value of Greenland.
And so ~in dollar terms~ his shenanigans have already cost the US one Greenland, and we've got nothing to show for it.

I am not exaggerating when I say ICE functions as a terrorist organization in the Twin Cities. The goal seems to be to harass and frighten people (the ones who are lucky enough to not be abducted, at least) and it's deeply unsettling when you learn they're in your neighborhood.

The pedophiles in the government are still covering up the Epstein Files. Speaking of, it's now been over a month since the Justice Department was required to release them. Release the fucking files and arrest Pam Bondi.

DoJ unveils new plot to keep Epstein Files hidden from public eyes

“The truth always lies somewhere in the middle” has to be one of my least favorite phrases. Sometimes, one side is actually truthful and one side is actually malicious and lying!
