I exist! I finished (the first part of) a thing!!! It has been years since I've gotten this far on a project. 92 poems, by me sent off to the editor! I'm really proud of pushing through chronic health challenges & allowing myself grace to take a glacial pace & get it on its way & make Olivia proud.

REVEALED: we identified the operator of an overtly racist X account, "GlomarResponder," as ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden, based on an overwhelming number of biographical details matched through publicly available documents, other social media activity, and courtroom observation.

An actual post from the official White House account. You can't even make this up.

Tweet from official White House account. Text: "They came after the wrong man." Image: heavily airbrushed image of Trump, standing against background of American flags, bald eagle, and fireworks (lol). Text superimposed on image: "I was the hunted -- NOW I'M THE HUNTER."

You'd have this expression too if your bottom half looked like the ghostly disembodied hands that played old-timey songs in a haunted saloon and your top half looked like floof.

While it's absolutely worth celebrating their freedom from CECOT, we can't overlook the fact that more than 60 of these men had pending asylum cases.

I’d say that @stephencolbert.bsky.social is (with the lone exception of @maddow.msnbc.com) the most brilliant, humane person I’ve encountered in broadcasting. His mind works faster than anyone else’s at a level of sophistication that is unmatchable. Genuinely a generational talent.

We just watched your 4p.m. segment and wanted to thank you for breaking down the real knockdown effects and these federal raids, both economic and humane. We recognize it was an intentional choice by you and the producers, and truly appreciate it.

Icymi Ventura county was invaded with military vehicles today in a few locations. They are not allowing duly elected officials or the press to witness. They are tear gassing peaceful protesters and shooting them with rubber bullets. It is surreal and fuked up.
