“Have you tried turning it off and turning it back on?”
Yes. That’s the problem. It doesn’t turn back on.
So I’m off to the Apple Store for either repair or an autopsy.

It’s just lawless thugs with a bigger budget than the Marine Corps carrying out a violent ethnic-cleansing campaign, so it shouldn’t provoke any negative historical analogies. The important thing is we stay *polite*.
Josh Shapiro can go fuck himself. So goddamn tired of this self-absorbed empty suit.

“Just explain things clearly to people” is incredibly effective when you want to help people, but it will absolutely wreck you if your aim is to exploit people.
So there is a very good reason the lane was open.

Someone said protests don’t belong in church and it took every ounce of self-censure within me not to say “Deborah you are literally a Protestant.”
A PROTESTant.
I assume they think Luther was nailing Bed, Bath, & Beyond coupons to the door.

I agree with this, except that I’m pretty sure the only way to ensure this ban would be effective is by abolishing the renegade goon squad currently deporting citizens.
Abolish ICE and this problem ceases to be a problem. Put ‘em on trial and the crime won’t be repeated.

If your mailbox gets damaged by a snow plow in my township, you can fill out a form to get it replaced. The name of the form is "My mail box was damaged by a snow plow." Excellent.

"Homeland," though.
Who SAYS that? Nobody, ever, except blood-and-soil types.
That wasn't a clue or a secret message that required decrypting. It was a big flashing red alarm sign.
Shut it down. Burn it down. Salt the earth.

My wife told me she heard at a training she attended that ICE has argued "ALL ARE WELCOME HERE" signs are invitations to enter private spaces and if that don't beat all I don't know what does.

If they truly ban whistles, any other noisemaker will be soon follow
So, may I politely suggest people alert others to the presence of ICE in their immediate vicinity by howling like wolves 🐺
Not even joking. Throw your head back & howl. It’s an incredibly cathartic sound to make & it carries.

Extended forecast now predicts a high of only 30 next Tuesday. Some day we will see temperatures above freezing, but apparently not in the next 10 days.
10-day forecast says we can expect to get above freezing with a high of 35 a week from Tuesday, so this should all melt off pretty soon, right?

JD Vance thinks Nicollet Avenue in Minneapolis is "the border."
The border of what?

Oh my God, what an incredibly real and incredibly terrifying story. These grown men were locked inside a restaurant? Wow.
It's hard to say where that ranks next to the state-sanctioned murders and the kidnapping of children, but gosh, they were briefly locked inside a restaurant? Heaven forfend.

I've always looked at, like Willard's "Spirit of '76" and wondered what tangible benefit revolutionary era armies saw in having a drummer, a piper, and a guy with the flag. Like, were the redcoats supposed to be "Oh no! Look out! That guy has a flute!"?
But I'm starting to see the reason for it.
