@fitwr.bsky.social a very timely episode this week as I attempted to have a colonoscopy yesterday. But c’est la vie. Going to try again in six more weeks. Hopefully David doesn’t see this unless he needs prep advice

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.

Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

I don't think it's exaggerating to say that the stark contrast between Delia Deetz in "Beetlejuice" and Kevin's mom in "Home Alone" was the first time it really dawned on me what acting was.

Greg Bovino sadly filling one steamer trunk after another with elaborate fashy overcoats, the teargas canisters he always has bouncing around on him like labubus, and dozens of "chest-belts." They will be shipped ahead of him as he prepares to return to his home, which is a men's size 10 boot.

Fuck ICE. Fuck this administration. Fuck everyone who supports this.
Our city has been over-run by Nazi ghouls kidnapping people to traffic them to concentration camps and other countries.
Did you ever think you'd see the day when masked gunmen jump out of moving vehicles and chase families down the street in your own neighborhood?
FUCK ICE forever and ever.

I find this unbearably beautiful as an expression of the joy that comes from making art together as human beings.

This is what the AI dickheads will never understand and never feel.

This is Simpsons level misread of the room.
Yes it’s cold in Minnesota—but we embrace it. John and I were in Hastings with Mayor Fasbender for Hockey Day Minnesota to watch my alma mater, Wayzata High School, take on Rogers. Photo taken with parents right after their son scored a goal!

Civil rights activist Claudette Colvin dies at 86
At 15, Colvin became the first Black person to be arrested for challengingMontgomery’s bus laws. History has largely ignored her bravery.

ICE’s hiring process is even worse than expected (hiring ppl who don’t even finish the paperwork, future-dating untaken med clearances, etc.).

Which seems like something Dem candidates should jump on NOW. Like:

“We will claw back bonuses of anyone who should’ve failed their background check.”
A few months ago, ICE hired me

I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable

And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!"

My latest for Slate
You’ve Heard About Who ICE Is Recruiting. The Truth Is Far Worse. I’m the Proof.
What happens when you do minimal screening before hiring agents, arming them, and sending them into the streets? We're all finding out.

I hope all the insiders trading on non public information who bet big on the invasion right before the invasion go ahead and sue Polymarket in their own names.
Polymarket is disputing that the US mission to capture Nicolás Maduro constituted an "invasion", refusing to pay out bets on a contract with $10.5M in wagers (Financial Times)

If The Pitt could have everybody back on set before the Emmy nominations were even announced, Heated Rivalry can book some ice time!
at the end of the broadcast era, we were pumping out 23 eps of Lost a year and now we can't get the second season of Heated Rivals, which has like 10 cast members, six locations, and no effects, until 2027. we must do better.

Al right, listen up, our fugitive has been on the run for 15 hours. Average foot speed of a jacked Pop Tart, barring injuries, is 4 miles per hour. That gives us a radius of 60 miles.

Your fugitive's name is Slammin' Strawberry. Go get him.

ICE has been spotted in Durham today and people are scared but also mobilizing to support our neighbors on a level that's honestly awe-inspiring. If you want to help locally or donate from anywhere, Siembra NC is doing incredible organizing work already www.siembranc.org
