I tried all day to join antifa.
I was thwarted!

I wonder if Pam Bondi can help me find them.

LA: we will fight you.

Chicago: we will fight you.

PDX: we will make you endure week after week of of improv theater.

“If ICE can’t arrest them without a warrant, that really limits the use of racial profiling,” said Mark Fleming, a lawyer at the National Immigrant Justice Center, which represented the plaintiffs. Free link: www.nytimes.com/2025/10/08/u...

ICYMI: "We need a tough guy, they say, because the Democrats are so dangerous. But now they find themselves defending Trump against the one sin that has given their movement its chief moral stature: child abuse." That was an easy about-face.

The Epstein Scandal Reveals MAGA’s True Face

They all knew Trump was a louse and a liar. Now they’re desperate to deny the obvious.

I don't think I got to that part yet. I keep dying and playing something else. I think I was last trying to go after Pam Bondi.

Still think Antifa isn't violent? Here's bodycam footage of Antifa founder B.J. Blazkowicz shooting a heroic member of ICE who was just trying to protect this great nation. Thank God we have Blazkowicz's girlfriend in custody.

One of my favorite things is to make a fancy dinner for no reason other than we are alive and we get to have pleasurable experiences.

Tonight, I made a spectacular roast leg of lamb, squash + peas, and a tomato salad (the last from the garden).

Joy, pleasure: these are resistance, too.

Homeless people are not the enemy.

They can’t “just try harder” their way into housing.

It’s the system that’s failing.

Most of us are one emergency away from being homeless ourselves.

We need affordable housing, universal basic income, healthcare & social supports.

We need a safety net

If ICE agents are willing to shoot a US citizen in broad daylight, as they did with Marimar Martinez in Chicago, imagine what they’re doing to undocumented immigrants.

They shot her in front of witnesses & with body cams turned on

The horrors facing those disappeared to camps are sure to be worse

BREAKING: The Chicago pastor intentionally shot in the head by masked ICE agents is SUING. 💪 He's being joined by journalists ICE targeted. "I invite ICE to repent." 👏 They won't, so suing them into the ground will have to do.
