Might???
Because there hasn’t been enough yet?????????
Legal experts smacked down Stephen Miller’s ominous message to ICE agents that they enjoy “federal immunity” and argued that he might have just opened himself up to impeachment proceedings.
Stephen Miller’s Dark Message to ICE Agents Immediately Backfires
The deputy White House chief of staff’s ignorance about the law was on full display.

Dropped Chester off at daycare. While most of the other dogs were busy playing with toys in another corner, Chester was already busy making friends with the staff.

They have opposing thumbs and know how to open doors.

Chester’s no fool. #DailyChester

Someone fell asleep waiting for Zoom Bible Study to end. He even brought his toy bus so he’d be all ready to play as soon as I was free.

Our lights are all connected to a timer on James’ phone. So now, when he travels for work, he will turn the lights on and off on me from wherever he is (in this case, Chicago).

What a goof.

Oh good. The field has begun to thaw. Sigh.

I will never get over the number of people who follow me and then feel it’s their right and obligation to tell me what I can and cannot post on my own feed.

It’s social media. There are a billion accounts. It’s not 1960’s TV with three channels that you have to cross the room to change.

I post all kinds of things - and will continue to do so.

I’m as political as they come on Bluesky. So don’t make assumptions about what’s important to someone based solely on a couple of posts on social media .

And don’t tell me what I can and can’t post - or when.

That’s what Elon does.
Bluesky has been wonky lately. Mostly here for current events, news & analysis. About 75% of the content satisfies that quest. Then there is this: buff priests?, lots of cute cats, and oh so funny puppies. I don’t mind the lighter stuff, but maybe take a week off after the face shooting, huh.

Never forget the most ironclad rule of politics:

Every abuse you justify against another will be weaponized against you in time.

To cheer abuse, violence, or the suspension of others’ rights is to cheer the abuse, violence, and suspension of your own.

Ever post something and immediately decide to mute the thread?

So we’re all clear that Trump is escalating ICE raids so he can trigger retaliatory violence and then declare martial law to interfere with midterm elections, right?

Chester just had an intense half hour playtime with “Pickle Rick” his giant green stuffie.

He’s now totally passed out.

This is Chester’s version of a hangover.

Also, no actual legal authority wears a mask.
I think it’s important to point out: ICE does NOT have the same authority as a police officer. They do NOT have the power to enforce laws, only to engage in their specific tasks.

IE: they don’t do traffic, etc. impeding traffic is not a penalty ICE can enforce against

It’s probably time for America to not only accept that it’s no longer a functioning democracy, but that it has *never* been “the greatest democracy on the planet”.

This dogged commitment to exceptionalism is a large part of the problem.
Renee Good should still be here.

She was a beloved child of God, with inherent value and infinite worth.

She was murdered by her own government in broad daylight in what is supposed to be the greatest democracy on the planet.

I think what bothers me most is he typed “Ur” for your and then a few words later, managed to type “your”.

Yes. That is what will keep me up tonight.

Though I find fundamentalists exceptionally annoying at any age, a particularly galling trend on social media is the high school / college freshman theologian who manages to mix evangelical ignorance of scripture, history and theology with the know-it-all arrogance of adolescence.

Child, sit down.

Homan: "We gotta stop the hateful rhetoric. Saying this officer is a murderer is dangerous. It's just ridiculous. It's gonna infuriate people more which means there's gonna be more incidents like this."

Now we need to add, "When I love my neighbor as myself, they call me a domestic terrorist"

I am currently in possession of about 37 lip balms. And not one of them is ever in the pocket of the coat I’m wearing at any given time.

Because apparently James is bracing for a hard winter here in the Little Penthouse Condo on the Prairie. 🙄
