I think it's a little soon for the press to be reporting with credulity about ICE's claims of a drawdown in the Twin Cities. Do we really need to take months for reporters to inevitably come back and say "Actually they never drew down the agents?"

Just like the Second Amendment did not anticipate the machine gun, the First Amendment did not anticipate social media. Social media is the machine gun of free speech.

The federal government, while overseeing the terrorizing of a major American city and lying about the on-camera murder of unarmed protestors:

"Our top priority is to protect ICE agents."

Ghouls.

This weekend, New York City will experience some of the coldest – and most dangerous – weather we’ve seen in a long time.

If you see someone in need, please call 311 immediately so our outreach workers and first responders can provide assistance.

On a lighter note, I wrote about characters from recent Star Wars that could use some more time in the spotlight.

1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

Trump is failing in Ukraine unless he’s a Russian asset. Then it’s going perfectly.

Always always always vote.
I'll be honest, I don't expect fair elections for the midterms. But I'm going to push for voting anyway because we can't just hand this country over to them. We've got to fight to the bitter end to restore Democracy in this country.

“And we don’t assess art’s value on how many people like it anyway. Some of the best things I ever saw played to single figures sometimes […] while one of the worst – the Queen musical We Will Rock You – got a standing ovation from a sold-out theatre full of twats. “

I love Stewart Lee
Entertainers can’t save truth. Or Greenland. But at least we can boycott the ‘Trump Kennedy Center’
