Surely Noem, Miller and Bovino have already learned their lesson about overstepping. Surely their chastened dejection and profound regret, of which we have no evidence, is powerful and patriotic. Surely we don't need to push any har I'm just kidding, fuck them up BAD and let me watch

I can't stop thinking about Liam Ramos. A tiny child, yanked away by masked secret police thugs. His little hat, his gigantic backpack, the bewilderment of experiencing the Friendly Community Helpers every kindergarten kid learns about locking him up in jail, where the Bad People are supposed to go.

Just wanna go on record stating that armed, government-sanctioned secret police invading private property to disappear the "wrong" kinds of people absolutely CAN and SHOULD be compared to the optics of the Holocaust.
No, it's not in bad taste--in fact, it's timely and cautionary. I am not aghast.

Did anyone ever really think Trump was going to achieve--or even attempt to achieve--the domestic golden age he promised, rather than simply insisting repeatedly that he already has, and that anyone who says otherwise is a traitor?
The man's entire skillset is TV promises. This is so weird to me.

Seems like a good time to remind everyone that no, it's not "already normal" for a US citizen to carry ID. In fact, we never stfu about how weird it is to be asked for it abroad.
"But we always carry our driver's licenses..."
No we don't.
Do not obey in advance, or make excuses for it.

This is not who we are. I became an ICE agent because I truly believed in the value of getting a $50,000 signing bonus to violently assault and terrorize anyone I wanted while never getting in trouble for anything. Being held accountable conflicts strongly with my deeply-held personal beliefs

Have we forgotten how to just watch TV and enjoy it? Is it CinemaSins Syndrome?
Season 5 of #StrangerThings was perfectly fine. Some truly great moments, some disappointing ones, some mixed-bag--but the Duffers ended the story with heart.
America sucks right now. Can we just enjoy something?

I am happy that Stranger Things has ended, but I'm especially happy for Nell Fisher. She seems like a bright, happy young actor who is beginning to experience the Millie Bobby Brown treatment from the creep squad on the internet. I am glad they won't get to gawp at her for x more seasons.

Surreal in the worst way to be looking forward to yet another destabilizing, horrifying war of distraction at the behest of an administration whose only hope of appearing quasi-competent is to make it permanently "irresponsible" to "waste the American people's time" actually holding it accountable.

TIRED: Charlie Kirk is a martyr, a saint, a lover of people and dialogue who was slain doing his sacred work. We may not besmirch his holy name.
WIRED: Rob Reiner was killed by complications from hating Trump, and it is patriotic to spit on his and his wife's fresh corpses.
What fucking bullshit.

As fun as it is to watch MAGA splinter, which was inevitable, I wonder (and worry) about the re-energized radicals who will coalesce from the toxic runoff. When it's no longer enough to trust that your imbecile boy king will show favor to whomever paid him the most recent compliment, what's next?
