Former Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn was on the front lines of January 6. Five years later, he warns the greatest threat isn’t just what happened—but the lies rewriting it. “January 6 was not legitimate political discourse.” Read his powerful piece: www.meidasplus.com/p/history-be...

I’ve made a copy of the 60 Minutes INSIDE CECOT segment. If Substack takes it down, I’ll put it up on my website. I know there are cleaner copies out there, but I kinda like the punk rock bootlegged version. The link is in my pinned post if you haven’t seen it yet.

I’m sad. Rob Reiner killed by his own son. Just tragic. We need to
do so much better with those in mental health crises.
So much tragedy this weekend. Heaviest of sighs.

“Trump turns being artless into an art form; he’s a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of shit. Even his flaws have flaws. There’s always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too, but rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid.” -Nate White

I miss government of the people; by the people; and for the people. I miss checks and balances. I miss respect for the Bill of Rights and for the Constitution. I used to be proud of America. Now I’m just trying to survive in the dangerous, make-believe government we have now.

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

Do you really think they check the backgrounds of these ICE goons? Ever think you could be walking down the street, get grabbed by a group of masked, armed maniacs, and end up in jail in a country you’ve never heard of?
