Retired HS teacher. Now just dinking around. Sacramento’s fine, but Big Island the best.
"Tax and prosecute," baby.

That's the motto of the candidate I'm voting for.

MINNESOTA — Mom goes outside to warm up her car, ICE grabs her: "Please, my car kids are all alone in the house!”

So nothing has changed and Homan was just to put a new face on the cruelty, got it

"I'm coming to Boston and I'm bringing hell with me."

"Do I expect violence to escalate? Absolutely."
-- Tom Homan in March

"I actually thought about getting up and throwing that man a beating right there in the middle of the room"
-- Homan in July, referring to a D congressman
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."

For reference, Minneapolis's "Metro Surge" was 25x larger than Chicago's Midway Blitz - ten times as many agents in a city almost a third the size.

The Springfield metro is only 136,000 people. A 1000-agent surge will be the equivalent of TWO HUNDRED MIDWAY BLITZES at once. Utter insanity.

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.

McClatchy wants you to invest in a Sacramento Bee subscription, but the company doesn’t want to invest in its reporters.

Under management’s latest offer, seven local journalists would still make salaries low enough to qualify them for low-income housing.

Agree with this. On the first day Homan was in charge, ICE tried to invade the Ecuadorian Consulate. Doesn't seem great.
I don’t think passing Tom Homan off as a professional is going to work. He has the look of a stepped-on old potato. He can’t help but sound the bell warning “drunk distant uncle at the family function.”

It is Stephen Miller's Administration, so absolutely credible that a hollow, amoral opportunist like Noem was following his lead--and has been from day one!
Wow.

It’s clear what is happening here, and it is juicy.

Kristi Noem knows she’s being thrown under the bus for her slanderous lies about Alex Pretti…and now she’s trying to pull Stephen Miller under the tires with her.

These people deserve each other.

Stop what you’re doing and read this piece, which is as powerful as you’d expect from @adamserwer.bsky.social witnessing the events of last week on the ground in Minnesota. “The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they’re the ones who are alone.”

Bovino is just the patsy - a noxious and odious fall guy. Stephen Miller is the architect and prime mover of the whole thing. Everything they do is at his direction - often after his threats. As long as he runs policy in the WH, nothing will change no matter how many Bovinos come and go.

Steph Curry on watching the protests from his hotel window: "In negative 10-degree weather. It was beautiful to see that turnout. That speaks to how important people felt to have their voice heard. In those elements and whatever streets outside our hotel, they were out, and it was amazing to watch."

We (who look like me) need to finally accept the dual state did not die with Jim Crow laws; the masses living in the normative are seeing just what it all means to stand with the masses who have endured the prerogative, like James Chaney’s colleagues who stood up against Jim Crow.

Minnesota strong: We the people will save this country...
The people of Minnesota have executed one of the most impressive civil resistance campaigns I can remember:

- Organized a city wide general strike
- Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence
- Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE
- Flipped public opinion against ICE
