Wow he’s healthier at 79 than he was when he got deferred from the draft 60 years ago. He’s a walking miracle! #despicable

Federal Secret Police and plainclothes ICE agents kidnap multiple people from a neighborhood in Chicago. They then deploy teargas and brutally beat neighbors who come out to express their concern.

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

More than a decade ago, I sat down with @marcmaron.bsky.social in his garage to tape something new called a podcast. This time, he came to me to record his last episode.

We talked about the power of conviction, decency in an age of division, and the true story of America.

There’s a way I despise that we have to say “it will hurt you in the long run” to make people give a care. Hello? Just care even if it has nothing to do with you.

Graphic of boot trodding on head. “Every boot you ignore stomping on someone’s else’s neck is just breaking in the leather for yours."

“No Kings means no paychecks?” Scott, that’s not how government works; that’s how feudalism works. You’re literally arguing for the system we escaped in 1776.
No kings means exactly what America stands for— we don’t serve monarchs or dictators. The people are the power, not one man or family.
