"A Republican who doesn't behave like a feral raccoon in a dumpster."
🧵A Threads post in response to a George Will op ed praising Mike DeWine - the post includes a screenshot to a comment on the Will piece which is spot on in labeling DeWine as a radical right winger clothed in temperamental calmness
The comment is a luminous piece of prose, suitable for framing.

Her adoptive dad had sexually assaulted her for years. But when Taylor Cadle told police, she was treated like a “monster.” She was charged with lying to the police and had to write an apology letter to her abuser.
Justice finally came when Taylor took her phone and hit record.

Police didn’t believe a 12-year-old who said she'd been raped. Then she hit record.

🧵This horrific story is being reported all over Latin America, but not the US.
Randall Gamboa, a Costa Rican, was deported from the US in such a critical health condition it required an ambulance flight.
He then died upon his return to Costa Rica after being detained for 8 months by DHS.

HOW TO ORGANIZE YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD FOR THE END OF SNAP
This is important. This came to me overnight through a group organizing in the PNW. Please consider adopting these strategies where you live. YOU WILL SAVE LIVES. SNAP runs out 11-1.
Start a block/neighborhood channel on Signal and get to work.

Start a block/neighborhood channel on Signal and get to work.
![How it works:
1. Steward posts once to the block group: "I've got a small shelf of staples. DM 'BAG' no questions asked."
2. Keep a simple in/out tally; rotate oldest first; replace what's used.
3. If demand spikes, steward pings the block: "NEED: 6 cans, 2 pastas, diapers size 4."
4. For larger needs, handoff to a local food bank. Privacy and dignity first—no photos, no public names.
Comment to volunteer: STEWARD
- [Your Street Name]
Comment to donate: DONOR -
[Item or $ pledge]
Need help? DM me the word BAG.
No shame.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:l3k4ivyknlg4yv4as4b6anmt/bafkreifmoiimee4tkmql74qnbxhvqxf4u2s3hte6ojaxtb4gvsnkmhvsv4@jpeg)

Singapore PM on the change in the global order given the US is no longer the insurer of stability - a sentiment that will go beyond the current administration. But nobody else has stepped in building a foundation of multipolarity amid turbulence.

I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason.
Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.

LTC Brandon Salter commands 2nd Battalion, 7th Marines, 1st Marine Division. He’s in charge of the USMC troops that deployed into LA. I will not forget his name; in fact, I have it in a file. Many other vets and I will be advocating strongly for his court-martial at a future point.
