I know nobody sees my posts, but my buddy Steve made this edit with my song Headphones, and it makes me smile. Have yourself a merry little MESSmas!

BTW when I say abolish ICE, I mean abolish it entirely and replace it with exactly nothing. Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. That's it.

Imagine what’s happening in the camps.
Imagine how much they’d be lying about what happened without all the videos showing it from multiple angles.

Prosecute ICE is the compromise position, prosecute any politician who is not actively assisting with prosecuting ICE as a coconspirator is the goal.

"They say they're coming to save us from some evil? They're talking about our neighbors who take care of us ... Alex was murdered while he was helping. Mr Rogers said look for the helpers, & right now the helpers have a target on our forehead ... Mr Rogers would be here right now too, so I'm here."

Minneapolis Police Chief O'Hara: "The video speaks for itself. We have identified this person - 37-year-old, white male, resident of the city. The only interaction that we are aware of with law enforcement has been for traffic tickets and we believe he is a lawfully gun owner with a permit to carry"

Exactly. For most of my life I'd felt like the U.S. was a place where the arc of the moral universe was bending - far too slowly, but bending - towards justice. Now it's been violently wrenched in the opposite direction.
People are basically stating what our poets said long ago:

"Democracy—a great word, whose history remains unwritten, because that history has yet to be enacted" - Whitman

"O, let America be America again—
The land that never has been yet—
And yet must be—the land where every man is free." - Hughes
People who say this are clearly speaking aspirationally about a shared American creed they hold dear. “Have you heard of the Trail of Tears?” is not a very helpful response, because they probably have and the priority right now is moral opposition to fascism and not fake-educating each other.

Swapped out our Ring for a Eufy when whispers of this started filtering through last year. I suggest you do the same (pick your brand, but the Eufy is treating us well. I assume they’re also a milkshake duck of a company in some way.)

Since his socialist ideology was written out of the history books.. In his own words:

"If America does not use her vast resources of wealth to end poverty and make it possible for all of God’s children to have the basic necessities of life, she too will go to hell."

Happy MLK Day.

They have fucking assault rifles and we have whistles and they’re scared shitless, because they know we’d rather be righteous and dead than ever be them.

My home river is the Cuyahoga, the crooked river, much abused in years past and still maligned by those who remember only its smoldering, polluted history, and didn't get to grow up playing on its banks in Kent, Ohio, and have never gotten to live, swim, hike and kayak near its mouth in Cleveland.
My favorite Twitter prompt was "RT this with your home river," so reskeet this with your home river.

Mine is the Patuxent.

That’s a very astute observation, and you’re right to question the morality of these choices. But this isn’t about ethics, it’s about compassion

It’s not eating your pets. It’s a rescue mission.

And that distinction MATTERS.

Would you like me to create a diagram of how you could eat your dog?

I saw this video of a Vietnam vet in the fur coat yelling at ICE and thought to myself, "this is missing something," before I realized, "Ah, of course, the Ether instrumental. It's so obvious."

Here’s a good trick: trick the government that insurance carriers are in defiance of the administration’s views on climate change, and make it illegal to factor that into premium increases…
