I launched a new column on @cinapse.bsky.social today & began with @ryanprows.bsky.social’s NIGHT PATROL because it has been on my mind. Minor spoilers, but nothing that will ruin the film for you. In fact, go see it this weekend while it’s still in theaters nationwide!

That may be the first accurate thing Kristi Noem has ever said, because not a day has gone by without my hearing about her and the lawless departments she oversees.

Let me get this straight, Trump hangs a photo of him & Putin in the Palm Room of the White House - then 1 day later claims it's Obama's "manufactured evidence" that makes people think he colluded with Russia?

He's your best friend and the CIA is NOT the reason the whole world knows it.

There are many skeletons in Trump’s cabinet.
The autopsy showed Mary Kennedy, then going through a messy divorce with estranged husband RFK Jr., had her fingers between her neck and the noose, as if having second thoughts.

A former NYC Medical Examiner said: “I have investigated many, many suicides by hanging and I’ve never seen that.” 2/2

ICE used an administrative warrant, not a judicial warrant.

That matters.

Bovino was forced out of Minnesota because the American people stood firm. Tens of thousands of people took to the streets in below-freezing temps to peacefully defend their neighbors & freedoms.

We’ll keep fighting. No more deaths at the hands of rogue DHS agents.

This is just misleading. There is a big difference between saying state resources can’t be used to enforce fed’l civil immigration policy & local cops refusing to assist fed’l partners in an emergency. Deliberately conflating the two is disingenuous.

Just a reminder that both Ilhan Omar and Maxwell Frost have been attacked this week.

No outrage by right-wing media or even corporate media.

Now imagine if this were done to Republicans.

The entire system is rigged in favor of conservatives, folks. The double standards are just wild.

In my area, today is the last day NIGHT PATROL is scheduled in any local theaters. I suspect that’s the case in many areas. Get out there tonight!

And check out the episode of our #podcast that @dougtilley.bsky.social & I did w/ @ryanprows.bsky.social!
