Gassing protests should be a capital crime.
I spend a lot of time trying to help people understand that not all protests are the same, but one of the things that make this hard is that sometimes you show up for a "liberal vibes with kids" protest and you get an "everyone gets teargassed, including the kids" protest.
Just got gassed pretty good at the labor union anti-ICE protest in Portland. Massive march, 5-10k strong. Vibes were very much liberal rather than radical. Lots of kids and older folks.

They gassed the whole crowd as soon as it marched on ICE, in broad daylight.

Burn it all down.
This sadly adds up. Jeff was just getting into his Ponzi scheme era in 1988 and Blues Traveler was getting popular in the local NYC club scene before they hit it big a few years later. Gross man.
Oh my GOD blues traveler is in the Epstein files

I just passed a group of a couple hundred or so (I'm not good at estimating size!) high school students who walked out of school to protest ICE. Seeing them gave me some much needed hope. 🫶✊

Cue @georgetakei.bsky.social meme:

“The very first rubber dick to touch government-issued leather boots triggered a full-blown chemical weapons response. That is not metaphor… That is a literal sentence that happened in America in 2026.”

They call it "pulling a Vatican"
CBP chief Bovino has confirmed that the officers who executed Alex Pretti in the street yesterday are not only *not on administrative leave,* they have all been reassigned to other jurisdictions and are all on the street today.

This is totally unheard of for any officer-involved shooting

I think Cignettis next move should be to jump to a program whose glory days are long gone. Whose roster is completely barren. Who is completely directionless and desperate for leadership.

What I’m saying is Cig for DNC Chair
