25 y/o vet George Retes, a citizen, was ICE-napped en route to work—tear-gassed, cuffed, ghosted for 3 days. No charges. No calls. No clue. “Oops” won’t cut it. The Empire eats its own. Fnords howl. Chaos knows the truth: this isn’t justice—it’s ritual abuse. Investigate everything. 🌀🇺🇸

At what point do leaders in the GOP band together (since they seem to lack courage individually) & say enough is enough? The party of Reagan becomes the tool of Putin if they don’t, especially after last night.
NEW — 19-year-old DOGE engineer Edward Coristine turns out to be the grandson of former KGB spy Valery Martynov, who played a role in a sprawling 1980s espionage saga.

In times of trouble we all need a vision to inspire us. This is from a Bertold Brecht play “ Mother Courage”. *sold* I painted this preparing for cancer treatment. I urge everyone to create their own powerful image to be their guiding star.

We deleted and shredded those records and stopped tracking reading history for that reason.

He’s the president’s biggest donor, he gets a west wing office, he gets to oust the administrator of the federal aviation administration, he gets to send emails to the entire federal workforce trying to scam them out of their pensions, and he’s a nazi.
I missed this entirely:
The FAA Administrator criticized Space X’s safety record and threatened fines.
Musk demanded he resign.
He did.

"No thanks is a massive understatement! PGE's 'Harborton Project' isn't just a cut; it's corporate vandalism of Forest Park! They'll bulldoze centuries-old trees & wetlands for data centers, not residents. Ratepayers pay, and nature dies. Greed, not need.

“In 2024, Donald Trump won the popular vote by 1.5 points,” writes the columnist @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social. “Trump and Democrats alike treated this result as an overwhelming repudiation of the left and a broad mandate for the MAGA movement. But by any historical measure, it was a squeaker.”
