Unemployed do-gooder, helper of refugees. Colorado. Multipotentialite--or is that the ADHD? I'm in my third act, or maybe it's my fourth. Maybe it's the epilogue. I don't have a job.

Everyone read this and share it - Reece is the guy that literally wrote THE book on the history of the Border Patrol. I've been screaming that everyone needs to talk to him and read his book NOBODY IS PROTECTED for years. HAVE HIM ON YOUR SHOW.
I wrote for the New York Times about how state violence that was hidden in the borderlands has burst into view in Minneapolis. The solution cannot be simply to send it back there www.nytimes.com/2026/01/29/o...

Why do people on the right claim that protestors in Minneapolis and elsewhere are “paid”? Because they’re just telling on themselves

ICE is upset that ICE isn't welcome in restaurants after ICE ordered food at a restaurant, ate it, then arrested restaurant employees, and ICE believes this is someone else's fault, do I have that right?

A legal asylum-seeker who works at Chipotle and plays music at a church in Maine went missing. His pastor searched and searched, eventually finding his abandoned car with the keys on the floor.

ICE grabbed him. No criminal record. No explanation.

When the president was calling all Somali immigrants "garbage" who "come from hell" and "contribute nothing" to America and therefore needed to go "back where they came from" did you ask him to "stop the rhetoric," Tom?
Homan: "I begged for the last two months on TV for the rhetoric to stop. I said in March -- if the rhetoric doesn't stop, there is gonna be bloodshed. And there has been. I wish I wasn't right. I don't want to see anybody die."

We are in a world in which every single person in the administration, from the President to the Vice President on down, said the same exact thing: that ICE was authorized to murder US citizens just because they were annoying.

I am hearing that RFK Jr.’s minions are going to go after HPV vaccines. I’ve got problems with these people and now you’re going to hear about them, first from a personal perspective and then from a professional one.

It all boils down to this: WE HAVE A SAFE VACCINE THAT PREVENTS CANCER.

These are the Haitians attacked by Vance in 2024 at the urging of Canadian neo-Nazi Geoff Martin, aka "Captive Dreamer," who he appears to follow closely.

They're currently here legally. The admin is abruptly making them illegal, then removing them in a 1940s-style militarized cleansing campaign.

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.

I'm continuing to work my way through the entirety of "The West Wing." It's competence porn and I need it badly right now. It's comforting, even if it isn't real and never was.

While independent bookstores are giving out free whistles, hosting protest sign making events, and donating proceeds to mutual aid, Amazon is *checks notes* providing technology that assists ICE in their terrorizing of communities.

Independent bookstores deserve your support. Amazon does not.

Oops, our U.S. data center partner just so happened have an outage that shadowbanned all left-wing political content on our platform for 48 hours. And this just so happened to coincide with us being purchased by one of Trump's friends. Our bad.

If the Dems don't come out unilaterally for abolishing ICE by the time there is a midterm (if there is one), which guarantees they will lose seats, not gain them, will people be saying it's the voters that failed the politicians like they always do or will they finally see it's the other way around?
Yeah these "real reforms" Dem are asking for would essentially restore DHS and ICE to the previous status quo, which was also extremely bad!
What is disturbing me is it is clear they came up with these awhile back. And now they are taking them off the shelf and rebranding them as new and improved.

The Bari Weiss plan is for CBS News to employ fewer reporters charged with finding things out and more (right-skewing) commentators charged with telling them what to think. Same playbook Wash Post is using. www.npr.org/2026/01/27/n...

The CDC is not tracking any data related to vaccinations.

My job (I’m an epidemiologist) is no longer relying upon federal rates but switching to state registries for comparison disease tracking. But states like Louisiana and Florida are also unreliable.

May our children forgive us.
