Bear, Sugar Bear to those that were lucky enough to know him, walked his sorrel out of the entrance of the crevasse. The opening was normally obscured by fog this time of the morning but an unseasonably hot sun had melted away most of the cover.

Bosco crouched behind some stacked boxes in an alley.
Foot traffic is light on the main street at this time of night.
Just as his legs started to ache, he spots it. An obviously drunk man with his purse carelessly dangling from his belt.

"My husband complains about the cold," the man said. "Can you teach me a spell to keep him warm?"
"I can teach you to bind hair into a net to catch heat," the wizard said, "using arcane counting and a pair of fine wands."
After a while, the man said "Isn't this knitting?"
"This, too, is magic."

1. This short thread is about the issue that dominates almost every aspect of politics, and causes or exacerbates most of our problems: the extreme wealth of a small number of people. Here’s the amazing thing: almost the entire political class aligns with the ultra-rich against the rest. 🧵1/10

Can someone on the ground near a detainment camp start a volunteer transport network? People could sign up to drive refugees home, one leg of the trip at a time. Animal rescues have moved dogs cross-country this way for years.
Yesterday, I drove refugees that had been shipped off to Texas all the way back home to St. Paul
Seeing them reunite with their families reminded me this is their home.
So keep sending them to Texas. I’ll keep driving ‘em back and introducing them to Bucc-ee’s and KC barbecue along the way.

WTF happened to the Epstein files? Full release was required December 19 by federal law. Today, 99% are still undisclosed. Initially, there were rolling releases. Now, nothing in weeks.
REMEMBER: The DOJ said the review of these documents was complete in JULY.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!
ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

This is torture. There better be lawsuits, there better be hearings, there better be defunding and criminal charges and REAL CONSEQUENCES for all of this shit on an unprecedented scale to ensure it never happens again. Any politician being timid on this issue needs to get out of the fucking way NOW.
