Everyone can set aside partisanship, psychologizing, pathologizing, whatever, and—I would hope—still see that it’s incredibly dangerous for a political leader to be this disconnected from the real conditions in the country.

Trump: "I don't know what could be worse than Portland. You don't even have stores anymore. They don't even put glass up. They put plywood on their windows."

I really want you guys to watch this speech from Russell T Davies, the guy who brought Doctor Who back, and did Queer as Folk and loads of other iconic shows at the Welsh BAFTAs recently about censorship and TV and the rise of the far right. It is amazing. www.reddit.com/r/GreenAndPl...

“Going to Princeton” makes a case for best @themountaingoats.bsky.social album. Not just best live album either.

The mastering and pressing are fantastic. The energy comes through the recordings. The setlist will please just about any fan, new and old. Vibrant versions of old favs.

Cover of Going to Princeton by The Mountain Goats. Peach cover background with illustrated bus driving into sunset. Bus has a possum graphic on it. Album is sitting on a blue couch next to a pillow with a jaguar on it.

It’s hard to conceive of one’s political opponents in a liberal democracy as being loyal to that democracy when they’re using the military on American citizens against the wishes of legitimate local authorities, and talking openly about doing much worse.

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

If you can hear this image, it's probably time to schedule your colonoscopy. If you can sing the whole song, it's also time to get your shingles vaccine.

Time for Timer on a red background. Next to him, the phrase "When my get-up-and-go has got up and went, I hanker for a Hunk O' Cheese!"

He looks at you with this blank stare, daring you to tell him you tried to make sunshine on a stick in the freezer but the toothpicks never stayed up straight. He knows you won't say anything because you're embarrassed. You know he knows. He knows that you know that he knows. And yet, he just stands there, hankering for a hunk o' cheese like it isn't fucking impossible to get plastic wrap to stay taught on an ice cube tray.

You want to ask him for a wagon wheel, from his stacks of snacks, but you can't bring yourself to say the words, because now you, too, are hankering, hankering for the last hunk-o-cheese, and you both know you'll have to fight for it.

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

report "icy roads"

Anil Dash @anildash.com · 8d

One first step people should do to respond to this is start using the “report a speed trap” function in Apple Maps to report where ICE is operating. Make Apple party to the attempt to protect people.
