THE MERCHANT OF JOTENHEIM

Barnabus Grymm, the infamous Merchant of Jotunheim, prefers to sail the perilous seas between realms rather than navigate the treacherous politics of the 12 Elven houses of Svartálfheim.

Murray: I talked to a family that’s paying about $300 a month for their health insurance. It’s going to jump to over $1,800 per month.

Many people will turn away and not pay for it—obviously, they’ll lose their health insurance. The fewer people who have insurance, the more everybody pays.

Oh look the party that screams “family values” every five minutes is silent when one of their megachurch darlings pleads guilty to child sex abuse. But they’ll trip over themselves to ban books and attack drag shows. Tells you everything you need to know.

Whoa! The shutdown’s ripple effect starting to hit.

Burbank Airport in LA County has no air traffic controllers on duty due to sick calls, last-minute day-off requests, and staffing shortages.

If you’re flying anywhere in the country, check for delays.

Federal agents hurled tear gas at people on a busy Logan Square street, outside a grocery store and near an elementary school.

Reckless, undertrained ICE hires are a danger to everyone. This is terrorism against US citizens.

For some reason, people feel compelled to signify that Black people aren't doing enough during ICE raids.

We are actively not being arrested when we can. Why?
Been there. Done that.

In my essay: I told you to keep you Black ass at home. I meant it. I still do.

Abughazaleh: I think Kristi Noem should be tried at The Hague. And if the response from ICE to people exercising their first amendment right is to drive vehicles through them, they should not be an agency in the US.

For 20 years, somebody loved it. But I wasn't among them.

It was some of the worst writing I have ever experienced and I suspect its appeal has more to do with racist and sexist depictions that flew over most readers heads.

The only thing worst than the books were the films. But you do you.

“Yes.”
“Catnip?”
“On the list.”
“What about-“
“Relax Alvin, I got this.”

🧵 The founder of Gateway megachurch, a former faith adviser to Trump, pled guilty to sexually molesting 12-yr-old Cindy Clemishire in the 1980s.

The victim went public with her truth in 2024, ending the silence that had tormented her and protected him for decades.

Subscriptions = Enshittification.

If they go that route, then this is the last version of the program I will ever own.

I came to them to avoid Adobe and their monthly subscription bullshit.

I enjoyed the hell out of them for the three or four years I have used them.

Nothing good lasts.

RECRUITMENT DRIVE: #ICE

Insecure with your masculinity?
C student at best in high school?

Too ugly to show your face?
Join ICE. There are no standards!
ICE: We're #feckless pussies.

Be one of the most reviled Americans alive.
ICE is taking back America one deported US citizen at a time.

I was so happy with this software. Has enshittification arrived here?

I am filled with great sadness if that is the case.

Black folk will tell you: The 1st thing cops say after an incident is always a lie.🤷🏿‍♂️

They lie because there's upside in it for them, and no downside.

No matter how many times they get caught lying, newspapers will print their next lie as the gospel truth.🤡

And people stop caring before truth hits

ICE lied about the person it shot, claiming he was a "criminal," but NBC finds that he had no criminal history whatsoever. Not even traffic tickets in 12 years! It also lied about the extent of the injuries to its agents....

This is not a fight about tax credits.

This is a fight over your ability to go to a pharmacy and afford your insulin.

We have the chance to protect the health care of millions of Americans. We need to take it.

A 10 day hearing began today in Texas to determine if the GOP's new rigged map will remain in place or be struck down for 2026. The best way to stay informed on what is happening is to subscribe to Democracy Docket, the media outlet I started in 2020, for times like these. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0
