Well, I've wandered over here from Twitter (I never called it X). I'm the same beer brewing, bee keeping, activist retiree. Just more disillusioned.

Candidates come and go. The sentiment remains. #NotMeUs

This sucks. But, it reminds me to give a plug to the Fermentation Institute, at Southern Illinois University, in Carbondale.

Instead of telling ICE to get off their private property, Home Depot is letting the secret police use their parking lots as a staging area.

Contractors get supplies at Home Depot (and other lumber yards and hardware stores) every morning. Hopeful day workers gather there to pick up work. ICE has been using this as a 'fish in a barrel' situation.

That's true, in the Senate, but I don't believe it about the House. The crop of Republicans, in the House, are true believers. A combination of the naturally stupid, the undereducated, and religious nuts. My representative, Mike Bost, of the IL-12, is all three!

And these are the people who are going to defend us from fascism?

He's been on the wrong side of everything: women in the workplace, deregulation, Occupy movement, environment, repealing Glass-Steagall, Epstein, the 2008 financial crash. Instead of tying their wagons to people like him, the Clinton/Obama Democrats should have sided with workers & their families.

I was unaware of their demise. When craft beers hit the Midwest, Rogue, in those bombers, was one of the first. Hard to believe
how long ago that was.

ICE should be abolished. There is no reforming a secret police force. It can only be smashed and prosecuted. Otherwise, it will come back out of remission and matastasize.

My guess is that this is a plan of his and Bondi. If they're investigating something they'll be able to say ah! We can't release the files because there's an ongoing investigation!
