My debut poetry collection, alongside the wonderful @quotidianwriter.bsky.social releases in September!

THE SHIP AND THE STORM is a conversation in poetry, as we delve into subjects ranging from loss and memory to war and nature, and I really hope you'll give it a read.

Totally having a normal one at the Pentagon. The most whiny, thin-skinned man to ever occupy the office.

Sometimes, when I need a pick-me-up at work, I think to myself, "today could be The Day It Happens."

Works every time.

This is antisocial behavior in the highest degree. Once upon a time, this kind of shit would get you exiled from the tribe so you could starve to death.

Being back shame.
CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

For any Democratic strategists concerned with AOC's "electability" in a general consider this:

Low-info voters are mainlining Epstein files discoveries from TikTok and podcasts--maybe now is exactly the time to choose a true, working class candidate WHO WEALTHY, CONNECTED BILLIONAIRES CAN'T STAND.

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

Bondi crashes out over Epstein: "The Dow is over 50,000 dollars! I don't know why you're laughing. You're a great stock trader as I hear, Raskin. The Dow is over 50,000 right now. The S&P at almost 7,000, and the Nasdaq smashing records. That's what we should be talking about."
