Yesterday: Worst migraine in years.
Last night: Worst insomnia in months.

What will today hold?

My day was totally lost to a migraine but at least I didn’t sell out my country like a Senate Democrat so I feel like I win.

Exactly right.

Leave your phone at home.
They want you to leave your phones at home so you can’t take video of them. If you leave your phone at home, take a go-pro with you. Cameras out, America!
“ICE is quietly building up its ability to spy on Americans' phones

The agency activated a $2 million contract with Paragon, a service that offers the ability to remotely hack into someone's phone.

[Also] ICE entered into an $11 million contract for Cellebrite devices…to break into a locked phone”

He is trying to force the courts to allow him to starve American families rather than spend constitutionally allocated funds and this confusing headline is what was selected.

"Trump Sues So He Can Starve Babies" is a better headline. It's shorter and more accurate.
the president is demanding the nation’s highest court let him starve american citizens, in case you’re wondering where we are right now www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I helped make a film, out this week, called “Rovina’s Choice,” about the deaths this man without conscience or accountability has caused — already 600,000, ⅔ of them children.

This is a very important thread. People are free to curate their feeds how they choose but Alt NPS does not deserve your attention. They frequently steal content without attribution, make up numbers for protest engagement(No Kings #1), and in this case create false narratives to fit their goals.
This one is personal to me.

AltNPS posted, so far only on Facebook, an extended piece of manipulative fanfiction about the recent abduction of a woman at a Chicago daycare center by ICE agents.

The video, which you've likely already seen, is horrific.

The video now rapidly circulating (which also does not have a date or time marked) does not blur this poor woman's face. Here's one that does:

Pretty great night in politics for a change. Now that’s a phrase I wasn’t sure I’d ever get to say again.

I’m sure glad baseball season is over so I can spend more time focusing on the horrors. 😱

Thought I was in bad sinus tach after the game, but it just turns out somebody’s blasting bass music nearby. Whew

It's not always good to be nice.
YES. It’s all about socializing people to tolerate nearby suffering and disparities without creating a ruckus. It is the foundation of white supremacy and it’s not a phenomenon limited to the south. Every white American is groomed this way to varying extents.

Hard work? Am I supposed to feel sorry for it? Give it a paid vacation?

That thing where you look at your to-do list, realize a bunch of things are not done, start to panic, and then realize it’s tomorrow’s to-do list. The reason there are things checked off is because you did them a day in advance. Ugh
