Hey, just an aside - please don’t feel like you have to follow me because I followed you - you don’t, this isn’t a trade.

That’s it. I could probably discuss more about why I “follow” people1️⃣, but that’s just really subtext.

Even if you don't have time to read all 83 pages of Judge Reyes's opinion barring the Trump administration from rescinding Temporary Protected Status for 350,000+ Haitians, please at least check out the four-page introduction.

It's a tour de force:

Is “old and grumpy” some new street slang for “racist butthole”?

I admit to being behind the times with the new hoopy slang.
Forgive me, Jesus, because I genuinely deeply enjoy how perpetually unhappy and desolate these losers are.

DHS said that the woman CBP shot in the chest in Portland was “involved” in a gang shooting.

Her ~involvement~ was that suspected gang members sexually assaulted and robbed her.
After Border Patrol shot two people in Portland, DHS claimed they were "vicious gang members" tied to a past shooting.

But records I obtained reveal a US prosecutor has since directly contradicted DHS, saying, "We're not suggesting he is a gang member." My dive into how DHS' claims have collapsed:
DHS’s account of two Venezuelans shot by border patrol falls apart in court: ‘A smear campaign’
Immigration officials said agent shot two ‘vicious gang members’ in Portland, but records obtained by the Guardian reveal US prosecutor contradicted claims

You can at least understand why Trump is closing the Kennedy center;

Basically it was close the center or have:

"Ted Nugent, live at the Trump/Kennedy Center, July 2026 to…the foreseeable future! um, well let's just say he's in residence"

CNN is reporting the real reason Trump is closing the Kennedy Centre for two years is not for renovation: “the Kennedy Center does not have a 2026/2027 season. There would not have been any programming to announce."

Whenever abuse starts getting exposed in a culture of abuse, the question posed is "where does it all end?" to avoid asking “*how* will we make this end?”

But I'll answer. Where does it end?

It ends when we excise the abusive ice, from hummock to bummock. www.the-reframe.com/where-it-ends/
Where It Ends
Answering the enabler's constant question, and contemplating the depraved depths of the billionaire mindset.

The woke scolds are trying to make this about racism. But Musk is right. It's about historical and scientific integrity. When the God of Thunder disguises himself as a swan to seduce and fuck a queen and the resulting baby hatches from an egg, *of course* the baby will be white. It's just science.

Looking at my materials on my Law and Race unit for this term, I seem to have gone with "Make them laugh, make them cry and then enrage the hell out of them."
The best advice I got on public speaking was from Dolly Parton in a concert she did in London in the 80s: "Make them laugh, make them cry and then scare the hell out of them."

Reminder to cis women that our trans siblings of all genders have been warning us for fucking ever these people hate - HATE - women. All women. Cis TERFS being transphobic pieces of shit & throwing their lot in with men like these are not only evil, they’re empowering the people who hate rhem too.
O cool The hypothesis that the elite were trying to segrigate trans people from society purely to keep us as sex slaves was real, but only for trans women since they see trans men as undesirable for sex and want them eliminated which is EXACTLY THE POLICIES AND RHETORIC WE'RE SEEING HAPPEN RIGHT NOW

“Webelos…*lights cigarillo and takes a long drag*…now that’s a name I haven’t heard in a looooong time”
I made a Webelos den leader cry and curse me as a demon from hell. And when he had spent his rage, my best friend and I turned to each other in glee and went “YEAH!!!”

So of course I’m not a trans pity narrative. I fucking enjoyed it.

My childhood was a time where “going to Denmark for the operation” was a joke and the best you could hope for was pity for your tragic plight, or a National Enquirer cover story about how you may be a sexy Playmate now but you were born a boy. So you can’t hurt me.

Reminding us all, yet again, that Anne Frank - whose family the U.S. refused to accept as refugees or immigrants - died in the Nazi concentration camp Bergen-Belsen of typhus.

Of infectious disease. Not gas or bullets or experimentation or any of those myriad other horrors. Typhus. Illness.
