I made a "Fuck Columbus" sale that is 10% off in the US, but then I added more and more things until now almost everything is on sale this weekend, including a lot of playing cards and magnets.

So I was looking at inflatable squirrel costumes, and look at what the upsell was.

Frequently bought together is the text; picture shows inflatable squirrel + inflatable frog costumes side by side. Tempted.

Okay. So now we know what *didn’t* happen.

UPDATE: In emailed statement to me / @reason.com, DHS alleges that WGN-TV producer Debbie Brockman "threw objects at Border Patrol’s car and she was placed under arrest for assault on a federal law enforcement officer."

Screencap of email from DHS public affairs: Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin:

“U.S. Border Patrol was conducting immigration enforcement operations and when several violent agitators used their vehicles to block in agents in an effort to impede and assault federal officers. In fear of public safety and of law enforcement, officers used their service vehicle to strike a suspect’s vehicle and create an opening. As agents were driving, Deborah Brockman, a U.S. citizen, threw objects at Border Patrol’s car and she was placed under arrest for assault on a federal law enforcement officer.

“This incident is not isolated and reflects a growing and dangerous trend of illegal aliens violently resisting arrest and agitators and criminals ramming cars into our law enforcement officers. These attacks highlight the dangers our law enforcement officers face daily—all while receiving no pay thanks to the Democrats’ government shutdown.”

Finally remembered to pre-order these books by @mskellymhayes.bsky.social & @letsgomathias.bsky.social!

You can order them here:
linktr.ee/KellyHayes

& here:
www.simonandschuster.com/books/To-Cat...

Screenshot of the cover of the book “read this when things fall apart: letters to activists in a crisis” by Kelly Hayes. The cover art is an illustration of a person with long hair with their back to us wading in a pond covered in lily pads. The pond is ringed by pine trees, red flowers, and small red mushrooms under a deep blue sky with constellations.

Screenshot of the cover of the book “to catch a fascist: the fight to expose the radical right” by Christopher Mathias. The cover is bright red with white and black text, in the upper right corner the drawing of a black snake is being pierced by three downward facing white arrows.
