I looked up info to make sure I knew where to find them, and everything I’m reading says after sunset or bust. Maybe that’s just gonna be the best time. And hah, I plan just before dawn with purpose as those are the ones I gotta stay up for, not expect the alarm to save me.

I *am* going to grimly enjoy the frantic tap dancing of DJT supporters—the people for whom every Symbol Of America is considered sacrosanct—spinning themselves around to say what DJT is doing to all of them is good and patriotic actually.

The Jackson Magnolia… from the South… at such a time it would be for Andrew Jackson? I love trees more than most people but idk, maybe not that one.

I got it stuck in my head this was a “just before dawn” instead of a “soon after sunset” event xD so I’m hoping for clear skies tomorrow night. Glad you got good looks!

Hard one because I like both teams, but I’m happy for the Jays. Having to win last night and playing a seven at home: they had the edge. 🇨🇦

Oh my GOD.

At 4:10 p.m., she texted me: "By the way-everything | ever sent you is off record. You're not a journalist so it's weird saying that but just letting you know."
I responded: "I'm sorry, but that's not how this works.
You don't get to say that in retrospect."
Halligan was unpersuaded: "Yes, I do. Off record."
"I am really sorry. I would have been happy to speak with you on an off the record basis had you asked," I said. "But you didn't ask, and I still haven't agreed to speak on that basis. Do you have any further comment for the story?
To my surprise, she kept going: "It's obvious the whole convo is off record. There's disappearing messages and it's on signal. What is your story? You never told me about a story."
I didn't respond. It was time to publish my story. I'II text it to her.

Turns out taking a shitload of test and HGH provided by a "men's anti-aging clinic" run out of a trailer can't make these guys put the actual work in to hit a minimal fitness standard

SCOOP: more than a third of new recruits at the ICE training academy have failed the personal fitness test -- so many that the agency has had to start pre-screening new hires to weed out what one official called "athletically allergic candidates" www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

A Third of ICE-Academy Recruits Are Failing Out

Push-ups, sit-ups, and a brisk jog pose a threat to Trump’s deportation campaign.

A war manufactured so blatantly as to recall the Iraq buildup, yet hardly treated with the urgency or the outrage it deserves. The regime change Trump is trying to inflict upon Venezuela is the result of compounding normalizations. New at FOREVER WARS:

The Legacy of The War on Terror Reaches South America

While Trump openly manufactures a war in Venezuela, Israel never stops attacking the Palestinians

I signed on as part of the wall

I joined @bsky.app today because it’s more important than ever for us to raise our voices. Today, the Trump Administration continued its campaign of retaliation and weaponization of the judicial system against working people by filing charges against me.
