Phyllis Schlafly's worst nightmare even before I've had my first sidecar. Married to a really awesome man who didn't realize what a shitty deal he was getting before he said yes.

I'm seeing people wonder why ICE is going after Charlotte.
ICE has been at war with Charlotte's sheriff ever since he won in 2018.
We'd covered this at Bolts back in the day; this quote is from that sheriff:

We'd covered this at Bolts back in the day; this quote is from that sheriff:
“When the 8 African American sheriffs took over the largest counties in North Carolina, it became a threat to the good ol’ boy system,” says the sheriff of Charlotte. These new sheriffs broke ties with ICE.
But GOP lawmakers cracked down this week, overbidding the governor’s veto to adopt this law:

North Carolina GOP Is Cracking Down on the Black Sheriffs Who Stood Up to ICE
Boosted by new supermajorities, Republicans are closing in on legislation to mandate more collaboration with ICE and preempt local policies hard-won by immigrants’ rights advocates.

So, we can add insecure dork to the list of ways we describe Larry Summer, the genius who helped give us derivative supermarkets with no positive controls.
The emails have Summers reporting to Epstein about his attempts to date a Harvard economics student & to hit on her during a seminar she was giving.

There is a reality that gets missed here, that these people are living on borrowed time. The more they act with impunity, the more violent and bloody the backlash.
And it always comes, not from the left or right but from the middle when ordinary people have had enough.

With @arynbraun.bsky.social, this week we ran this big look at what ICE/CBP has become under Donald Trump and how the agencies increasingly resemble a sort of national police force he can send to whatever city he likes to intimidate people:

I have been asked by non-gun owning friends to teach them how to shoot to protect themselves and I’m like (I have an entire schpiel), we have to be very clear that what you are asking me to do is teach you how to use a gun to kill someone in self defense.
while I am okay with that, are you?

The outrage was always selective. Republicans loved the Epstein files — until they didn't. The GOP crusade against elites shows pure projection to confession. Once emails implicated Trump, the fervor became a hoax and right-wing media dutifully changed the subject.
The President Who Cried Hoax
Republicans went after Epstein only when it was politically useful.

I feel like we’ve memory-holed that until the last 15 years or so, mainstream culture was largely fine with the idea of sexualizing teen girls (remember tabloid countdowns of the Olsen twins turning 18?) so I guess I’m not too shocked that some people want to go back to the era where perving is ok.
Holy shit. They're really doing it. They're doing "actually pedophilia is good now." The debasement of the American Right is complete.

Fire them all.
Elected officials have to take control of the police.

Critical to note that this is the Illinois State Police, not ICE or CBP.
The lesson we take away from the past 10 months cannot be “wow, ICE and CBP are uniquely bad.”
To the extent they are worse than regular police, it’s a matter of (slight) degree, nothing fundamental.

I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?

To quote Peggy Noonan, “is it irresponsible to speculate? No, it’s irresponsible *not* to.”
The important thing is not whether the Trump performing sexual favors for Bill Clinton thing is true. The important thing is that we all pretend it’s true, and that someone asks Trump about it every day.

It only took 7 months, but my “why tariff banana?” crusade has FINALLY been vindicated: the White House has exempted bananas (and a bunch of other tropical fruits) from the tariffs today
Now if they could just realize this whole trade war is stupid and counterproductive…
