My PvP is from a custom piece of art made by the amazing developers of Stormbound (which you should try if you like digital card games!).

I used to stream it pretty heavily before my cancer diagnosis… to cheer me up, they made this hilarious depiction of me playing while watching with my two kids.

And this little nuance is the part that I keep harping on. We are no longer a functioning democracy if the executive gets to pick and choose which laws they will follow and when.

Elections are the equivalent polishing brass on the Titanic.
The reason the Epstein files are not being released according to law is because there are no consequences. They get to break the law without facing jail time.

An official CSIS report is claiming that Russia has lost more soldiers in Ukraine than any major power since World War II. Their estimate is 1.2 million Russian casualties.

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

He should follow the great Patriot tradition and hire a videographer to film the Seahawks practices.
"Josh has been a good resource. Obviously, he’s coached in these with the extended break."

This week, Mike Vrabel is relying on the most experienced coach in the NFL when it comes to Super Bowl appearances.

Too soon
Got kicked out of the Seahawks group chat for observing that at some point in this Superbowl they'll be on the Patriots 1 yard line and Sam Darnold will have the chance to do the funniest thing

Finally got around to a bit of research I'd been meaning to explore, and: There is no documented instance of an ICE officer being identified and assaulted while off duty because he wasn't masked. www.pbump.net/o/ices-excus...
ICE’s excuse for wearing masks has never actually manifested
There have been incidents of harassment and threats. But there are no apparent incidents in which identified ICE officers have been assaulted off-duty.

I know all eyes are on Minneapolis, but there's a fast-approaching nightmare in Springfield, Ohio.

Trump is revoking protected status for tens of thousands of Haitians living there on Feb. 3.

Reportedly, on Feb. 4, 1000 ICE agents are arriving to remove this population. Ethnic cleansing.

As far as I know, Tom Suozzi here still does not have a primary challenger in his district (NY-3 on Long Island).

The filing deadline is April 6 for the primary on June 23, and if there's a remotely progressive town council member or PTA president in that district, this is the time to make a move.

While you are chatting… maybe mention that @schumer.senate.gov needs to step down. He’s not the leader we need for this moment.
Please call your senators and tell them to demand rescission of the ICE/CBP funding under the BBB.
SCHUMER says Democrats are “united” behind three DHS reforms

1/ End roving patrols; tighten the rules on warrants and require ICE to coordinate with local authorities.

2/ Enforce accountability; a uniform code of conduct.

3/ Require masks off, body cameras on, agents carry ID.

Socialism is going to save us in this moment.

We need to come together as communities and demand that our government serves OUR good.

If you work at DHS, and you are saying “gosh, everyone has the wrong idea about USA we aren’t all like that…”. Time to show it. You either reach out or you are complicit.

You don’t get to sit there, collect a paycheck and wring your hands.

You are what you tolerate and allow to happen.
If you work at DHS and know the identities of the CBP officers that murdered Alex Pretti, my Signal contact info is in my bio. I’ll keep you anonymous.

We fought an entire fucking war to get rid of this shit… and then we forgave it all in reconstruction FOR NO PARTICULAR REASON WHATSOEVER.

I want to point out that DHS can be easily removed for the appropriations bill & fund every other department. I did budgets for a living. It's all a political scare tactic.
Pisses me off that they use psychological warfare to achieve their agenda.
