It is amazing the collection of soulless voids that have been gathered together in the administration.

At least McReynolds adopted orphans rather than arrest and deport them.

I hear his previous assistant, Cherysh, was even worse.

Our neighborhood stray, Mr Red. Hangs around for a few months, then disappears for a year or two. This is his fifth go-round. He’s probably about 10 years old. Has a neighborhood fandom not because he’s friendly (he’s not), but he’s so deaf now that people can get close to admire and feed him.

Great actor, but also something of a violent psycho in real life.

Andrew @ads60nyc.bsky.social · 4d

Clever strategy: clearly, you’ve never had troll messages before and won’t know how to process them.

It’s only hackneyed if it comes from the Hackney region of France. Otherwise, it’s just sparkling lameness. 😉

On the other hand, I have had facebook suspend me for “suspicious activity” when I tried to personally respond to all my birthday wishers.

I lost whatever passion I had for big music acts when seeing them in concert began to cost my life savings. But Taylor is undoubtedly talented and seems like a good person, so all best wishes to her.

I think the watershed moment will be a Sharpville massacre level incident and how the country reacts to it.

Miller’s posts remind me of how white supremacist newsletters would follow up racist attacks on Blacks and others with deranged screeds lauding their “heroes” in the “race war.”

The stereotype is true here—it’s hard to tell cowardly Republicans apart.

Court-watchers confirm this cruel ICE agent has been reinstated.

Last week, in the briefest moment of decency, violently throwing a woman to the floor was “beneath the men and women of ICE.”

This week, it’s back to business as usual. The cruelty, after all, is the point.

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)
