👋🏼 it’s Chase. I do creative strategy @nytimes @tbrandstudio. Formerly @tumblr. Opinions strictly my own. Seek the joy. ⭕️
So I brought bagels and cream cheese home today for the holidays and TSA confiscated the cream cheese because they consider it a liquid. Okay, fine. Dumb but expected.

Then they told me if I left security and SPREAD THE CREAM CHEESE ON THE BAGELS I could bring them back through with no issue.

Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

Remember when Stephen Miller claimed the Chicago apartment raid was on a building “filled with Tren de Aragua terrorists”?

Well, DHS has now dropped the number of alleged TdA members arrested in the building from 2 to 1.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

A feature I’d like to see added to this app is the ability to search for people you follow based on a vague description of their profile picture when you forget what their name is

Part of the grinding daily terribleness is how everything RFK Jr. does is exactly what it was clear RFK Jr. would do if anyone were cynical enough to put him in charge of health, Pam Bondi is doing exactly what anyone knew Trump would require his A.G. to do—brutally obvious and obviously brutal
NEW from me: RFK Jr. made it clear at a press conference that he'd promote "environmental factors" (read: vaccines) as a cause of autism, and trotted out a new phrase, "epidemic denial," to label people who disagree with his interpretation of data. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
RFK Jr. Is using a new study on autism rates to push his anti-vaccine agenda
While researchers try to determine why autism rates seem to be rising, Kennedy made it clear he’ll try to put his thumb on the scale.

Black music protesting white political terror in registers they never hear; reminiscent of ancestral spirituals embedded with instructions for runaways
