“No hell is hot enough or eternal enough for Dick Cheney.” 🤌🤌🤌
When it comes to the ghouls that crawled to the top of the muck heap during the global war on terror (which never ended), there's no one I'd rather read than @attackerman.bsky.social. His Cheney obit is no different. www.thenation.com/article/poli...
His Works Completed, Dick Cheney, Mass Murderer of Iraqis and American Democracy, Dies
As much as the Trumpists claim to disavow the War on Terror, they walk a path paved by the most powerful vice president in U.S. history.

I got to sit next to Wil Wheaton at the Phoenix airport because I had a power strip and he let me plug it into the outlet nearby so more people could charge their phones.
Right folks. Feeling rather down at the moment so bringing back an oldie

Senator Padilla was forcibly removed from DHS Secretary Kristi Noem’s press conference in Los Angeles while attempting to ask a question.
Padilla was thrown down and handcuffed. A senator in his own state! (He has since been released.)
The Trump regime is out of control.

In honor of Trump unironically attending Les Mis, I will unironically repost the thread of which I am likely most proud:
Why Les Mis was an ahead-of-its-time primer on the cause and harms of mass incarceration (with citations).

I saw on the news this morning that Les Mis is returning to the stage in France, inspired to import over here what I think was my greatest thread Over There.
Les Mis debuted in 1980, just as mass incarceration was taking off. It warned us, we didn't listen. Its lyrics are a syllabus on CJ reform:

Rahaeli's built a deserved rep for exegetic long-form threads of fascinating import, but this one is superb even by those standards. Scroll to the top, do not miss.
And Francis's response, basically, was that while the catechism of the Church is important and people should follow it because that's what it means to be Catholic, we're all imperfect beings and none of us is free from sin, and also these things you're concerned about are WAY down the priority list.

Hey, I'm going to do this, and I hope you will too. Not because I think a one day pause will be a devastating blow, but because coordinated action takes practice, and if you don't do the small stuff, you will have a harder time gearing up for the big stuff.
