Don’t like posting personal info. Safe to say that I am an AF Vet, retired (power gen), read way too many books, love live loud music (pop-punk, metalcore), ex news junkie, not a cult member.

That’s not my pic, it’s a fucking Marshall stack.

As the would be king and his court of fools are about to take over, while wars and brutality consume the world, as our nation is dividing in two -

I post about music and concerts.

This is what brings me peace of mind.

This is insane. ICE is out of control here, still. They must leave.
happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

Billie Eilish during her #GRAMMYs speech for Song of the Year:

“As grateful as I feel, I don’t need to say anything except that, no one is illegal on stolen land. It’s really hard to know what to say and what to do right now, I feel hopeful in this room and we need to keep protesting… fuck ICE.”

Every day. Every single day chaos.

I was a news junkie but stopped viewing all news; local, national, cable fourteen months ago.

No one in gov is doing much, if anything, to stop the insanity.

I need music.

In the first year after she was appointed to the U.S. Senate, Ashley Moody had over a million dollars in her corporate stock traded. All while she had access to insider information only Congress gets.

That should be outlawed.

If you work for ICE or Border Patrol and have information about unlawful conduct taking place at your agency, please speak up.

House Judiciary Dems want to hear from you. America needs to know about crimes committed in our name. As a whistleblower, you can share anonymously:

This ICE officer in MN was heard telling someone ON camera

“you raise your voice, I’ll erase your voice”

I never thought tyranny would come wearing baby hoops.

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.

The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

Met with surgeon this afternoon. All medical clearances have been completed. EKG, X-ray, labs are all good to go.

Talked with hospital admissions.

Two weeks. Lumbar surgery.

It’s been a long winding road to get here.

So sick of Democrats blithering about how there's nothing they can do to stop this hell. Here's an idea...

Introduce legislation to REPEAL THE INSURRECTION ACT!

This will make it COMPLETELY clear to the military that any order deploying them against Americans is UNLAWFUL... no excuses!

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.

I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."

The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"

"Learned what?" she asks

Then he knocks her phone out of her hand
