Stephen Miller: "All these demonstrators that you've seen out here in recent days, all these elderly white hippies, they're not part of the city and never have been ... we're gonna ignore these stupid white hippies that all need to go home and take a nap because they're all over 90 years old."

Read half of the book I picked up yesterday, washed the backyard windows and pruned some overgrowth back. Then cleaned the alley. Not a bad day so far.

Reading East of Eden, as a life long west coast resident I'm curious if someone from the east coast would have a different perspective on the novel. 🤔

Donald Trump announces his a "trade deal" with Vietnam, which increases taxes on American consumers while decreasing taxes on Vietnamese consumers.

The zero-rate tariff offer in Vietnam was proposed on April 4. He's essentially done nothing in 3 months.

The support has been awesome to see through our threads/Instagram suspension the past few days — genuinely means a lot to us.

Reminder: One great way to support our work is to chip in a few bucks monthly and grab a Holler hat 🧢 like @davidwontshutup.bsky.social’s: tnholler.com/holler-hats/

We're reading East of Eden and William James came up in a way I felt was very coy but relevan. This has been my goto for understanding a reference in a book that goes over my head.

Absolutely incredible turnout for Budapest Pride! So proud of all the organizers, including some old friends, who estimate hundreds of thousands— major embarrassment to Orban
