Things I am? Illinois licensed attorney, RYT 200, comedian, artist, disc golf coach, NASM certified personal trainer.

Things I do: make the world a better place, putt good, make (some) people laugh. Dye discs. Game. Not necessarily in that order.

I am a #discgolf coach. If you want to dial in your putt, improve your practice routine, or need some accountability, I can help.

If you want to throw 500 feet, well, when I figure that out I’ll let you know.
Serious post: if anybody wants to do some actual good in this world, DM me. This is my final public facing post (🧵)for awhile.

Calling a kid a wanksta pre-2003 was top tier triggering for a certain kind of post millennial loser.

Incredible that the Democrats now have their own Joe the Plumber only instead of a plumber it’s an autoworker and instead of taxes on small businesses his issue is “the president seems to be covering up for a ring of pedophiles.”
“I don’t feel as though fate looks upon you often, and when it does, you better be ready to seize the opportunity,” said TJ Sabula, the UAW worker who heckled President Trump and who Trump flipped off and cursed at. “And today I think I did that.”

So, if I'm reading this right:

4 prosecutors at the Dept of Justice Civil Rights division quit because the Trump-appointed leadership won't investigate Good's killer,

and

6 from the Minnesota US Attorney's office quit when they were told instead to investigate her widow.

Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.

The letter from Bill and Hillary Clinton to James Comer explaining their refusal to testify in his Epstein investigation is really remarkable, not like any letter of this genre I've seen. It's signed by them, not a lawyer, and the arguments are not legal ones. Reprinted from their X account:

Trump: "Iranian Patriots, KEEP PROTESTING- TAKE OVER YOUR INSTITUTIONS!!! Save the names of the killers and abusers. They will pay a big price. I have cancelled all meetings with Iranian Officials until the senseless killing of protesters STOPS. HELP IS ON ITS WAY. MIGA!!! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP"

I didn’t learn about perfidy until law school.

The fact that I still have to know what perfidy is makes me want to fight.

I'm not advocating for anything here, just stating a fact: if Tim Walz and Jacob Frey want to avoid riots, a good way to do that would be to deploy the National Guard against ICE

semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003

when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out
