Wow! What sounded like the entire AEW Dynamite audience in Las Vegas tonight chanted "Fuck ICE! Fuck ICE!" in unison before the main event

It's always wild to me that Republicans will straight up tell you they want to murder you in the street and someone will insist that they can be reasoned with

Done with my next writing projects outline which unfortunately now means I have to write a book.

The brutality will continue until the fascists get what they want.

the demands schumer laid out, in light of existing rules and current ICE practices, are not a serious effort at modifying ICE’s behavior in any meaningful sense. they’re an attempt to mollify the base with meaningless bullshit without actually changing anything so they can move on to affordability

Damn who would have thought that Dr. Oz, an Armenian Genocide denier, would immediately start targeting Armenians once he was given a slice of power.

Heroes Die by Matthew Stover might be the one of the best books I've read with quite honestly one of the worst covers I've ever seen

Dems are starting so far back from what is needed that one of their demands is "warrants for arrests"

MOTHER FUCKER THAT WAS ALREADY REQUIRED
Dems coalescing around 5 restrictions on ICE, I'm told:

DHS required to cooperate with state probes (big)
CBP stays at border
warrants for arrests
IDs, bodycams
ICE out of churches, schools

"That package unites a lot of Dems," Sen Chris Murphy tells me on the pod:

A Dem Senator’s Harsh Takedown of Trump Hits Home: “Breaking Point”
As Trump scrambles to contain the damage from the latest ICE horrors, Senator Chris Murphy offers a sharp indictment of Trump-ICE lawlessness—and explains how Dems can meet the urgency of the moment.

If history tells us anything it is that the main thing the Trump Administration is going to learn from the backlash of murdering people in the street and on camera is to keep the terror sequestered away to somewhere normal, everyday people cannot see it.

The problem with finishing reading The Expanse is that nothing is as good as it and I'm having a hard time finding something that hooks me half as much

it is funny how all the fictional monsters we imagined taking over the U.S. for the last 30 years are objectively better people than the current regime. Give me Skeletor, please. Cobra Commander wants to run shit? He can hardly be worse than what we're rockin' today. It's worth a shot!

Most nazis and most concentration camp guards went on to freely and openly live their lives and died peacefully in their beds.
This is essentially what governments did in the late 1900s and early 2000s with respect to Nazis. Whether you were a lowly concentration camp guard or in Hitler's inner circle, if there was evidence you were a Nazi, it was straight to jail with your walker.

It worked.
Maybe instead of identifying specific ICE agents who do particularly heinous things, we could just penalize everyone who was on payroll at the agency starting by a certain date.

ICE is going to investigate themselves.

Whenever I get an email or text about a guest spot on a different podcast it always because I'm someone they thought about for one of two topics:

They need someone to talk about Genocide

They need another dork to be too passionate about Warhammer 40k.

To that I say, let me guest on your podcast
