With all due respect to Robert Frost, if Hollywood has taught me anything, it's that the 'road less traveled' always leads to a cabin occupied by a family of murderous hillbillies.

Evil is a business for those who can afford it.

During the 1992-96 siege of Sarajevo, wealthy foreigners paid €80k-€100k to access sniper positions and shoot civilians in what was called a "human safari".
The highest bids were for children and pregnant women, while older people were shot for free.

DHS is holding a 2-month-old BABY at a detention facility in Texas.

Last night, Juan Nicolás was rushed to the hospital after choking on his own vomit & being unable to breathe.

This demands accountability — not a blank check for more cruelty.
I have an update on Juan Nicolás, the 2-month-old baby detained at Dilley, and his mother.

CBS wouldn't release Colbert's interview with James Talarico so he released it on YouTube. Hmm. It seems that this regime is worried that Texas will turn blue this year.

Historically, ICE is the Trump version of the Nazi SA. This is more accurate than naming them Gestapo, who had a different role. The thugs who were not hired for their intelligence ended up in the SA, raiding the streets and beating up everyone they didn't like.

A new draft of the farm bill from House Republicans is being used to advance protections for pesticide manufacturers. The proposal includes language that would shield companies from state-level penalties or court rulings if their product labels don’t spell out potential health risks.

This is Bob Coveiro. He sat by his human's grave for 10 years until his own death in 2021. Pets were not permitted to be buried with humans, but he was given an exception. Now 5 years later, inspired by his loyalty, Brazil passed the Bob Coveiro Law allowing pets to be buried in family graves. 14/10

For decades, national policies have compelled states to pare back eligibility and benefits for social programs. Under Trump, federal austerity has become a tool to punish political enemies.
