My wife got a picture of the band for our production of Measure for Measure before the show started, when we were just messing around. That’s me on the right on bass.

Democrats can and must make it clear there will be trials and anyone even somewhat associated with ICE will face them. Maybe give a quit-your-job deadline on appeasement and give people 72 hours. I don't know. But currently the plan is to let them murder us in the street and get away with it.

When will it be enough for you, @schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social ? When will you be moved? You should be standing in the streets of Minneapolis. You should be shouting from the rooftops. What a pathetic pair of cowards.

The problem isn't just the White House. It's Republicans. All evidence points to the fact that they are okay with everything that's happening. Until Democrats start identifying them as the source of this problem, it won't stop.
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.

The Lincoln Market on Rogers Ave looked like a normal shopping day just now. I didn’t need to make a trip but we were low on oranges and I don’t want to get scurvy. And I bought flour because you never know when you’ll get the urge to bake bread.

Tonight’s movie: Kung Fu Panda (2008). I hadn’t seen this before and I loved it. It’s like Star Wars if Porkins was Vader’s son. I don’t think I need to see any more; I’ll assume they didn’t make more of these.

I really can't state this enough.

Federal agents have been teargassing parks and residential neighborhoods for weeks but didn't show up for a fight downtown today and look what didn't happen.

Wishing absolute worst wishes to our occupying forces. GTFO of Minnesota.
Note how there's no violence or chaos when the cops aren't rioting.
Demonstrators as far as the eye can see. Current status of the march in Downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota for Ice Out of Minnesota. They are turning onto 3rd Street from 5th Avenue.

It really is kinda wild just how many MAGA influencers are either Hollywood hopefuls, has-beens or never-would-bes and you would think people would connect the dots when it comes to that. Hell, the MAGA Overlord himself is a B-list celebrity
Erika Kirk's Amazing Race audition tape shows that all these right wing grifters really just wanna be rich and famous and won't stop until they stumble on an audience dumb enough to let that happen

My Brooklyn grocery store was actually busy tonight at 6 pm. Maybe everyone forgot to get their Friday dinner ingredients until the last minute like I did. I forgot to buy lemons and fruit so our fish will be without citrus.

the thing about american voters is that they don't like when bad things happen on their tv and want the bad things to stop, but that doesn't in any way connect to larger causes

It's already demoralizing to be a federal thug, a barely sentient ogre. Nobody likes or respects you. But then you go to work in -19 weather thinking surely today you'll get a break from people yelling at you. But no there they are. They're not even cold
Outside the Twin Cities this morning, where it is -19F—

Minnesotans are gathered early outside the Whipple Federal Building. ICE and DHS agents currently arriving at work to much disapproval.

What’s funny about the Oscar race this year is the CHUDs are mad at One Battle After Another because it’s “woke” and makes fun of white supremacists but they can’t derail it from winning everything because then the big winner would be SINNERS which is woker and makes more fun of white supremacists

Primary the Dem yes votes, but acting like they're why the bill passed and it otherwise would have been defeated is ignoring that the GOP still can pass it 217-214 even with Massie voting no, Johnson would have held up the vote to get others in town if he knew they were needed.

"we'll look weak and out of touch"

ICE is underwater with non-college whites including 41% "strong disapprove"

there's no polling to hide behind, if you're not willing to fight here it's because you don't want to, not because it's a losing fight

My dad had an old Volkswagen Scirocco that he would push down the street to start, and it once died on a mountain so we coasted all the way down. I'm sure we had to pray it would make it to an exit at least once.

i agree that simply “abolish ice” is no longer the bare minimum.

i’m not even sure it’s what’s here, “abolish ice and permanently bar all employees from future federal employment”

i think the bare minimum is nuremberg
This is a systematic effort to violate constitutional rights as policy while keeping it secret from the public, the courts, and Congress.

Yet more evidence that "reform" is not an option. The bare minimum is to abolish ICE and permanently bar all employees from future federal employment.

Posting the words "Lord as my witness I am going to Make Heaven Crowded in Riverside, California on January 21" on social media and instantly the feds are at my door.
Make Heaven Crowded is an insane title.
