Social media did help me crack my egg, and I wouldn't have met @benotafraid.bsky.social if not for Twitter.

i like Platner too but just a quick reminder that Janet Mills is the governor who yelled "I'll see you in court" at Trump to his face over the trans sports executive order, so if you wanna trash her please be sure you're sending the signals you intended to send.

Back during Trump's first term, there was even an article pointing out how an awful lot of the alt-right influencers were Canadian.

They certainly have no long-standing history of racism or current racism, that's for sure. And if they do, it's because they swear all the stuff Americans say about Black people is correct about Romani/Travelers/Jewish people/Muslims..

And we know for a fact that the unicorn is not a threat to the ICE incels, because unicorns don't harm virgins.

Trump: "We call them the water drugs. The drugs that come in through water. They're not coming. There are no boats anymore. Frankly, there are no fishing boats. There are no boats out there period, if you want to know the truth. Does anybody go fishing anymore?"

Anyway, "liberals are my bitch mom telling me to clean my room and do my homework, leftists are my cool dad promising he'll take me to the ball game and the amusement park" remains a pretty reliable lens to view politics through.

it was in this moment, where the infamous white nationalist followed by the vice president of the united states shared the cartoon show that neo-Nazis had made about me, that I realized the modern world had gone mad and must end

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

Such an amazing summary of the quality of people who have "risen to the top" in the Trump regime.

Johnson, a former journalist who reinvented himself as a Christian national infuencer *highlight* after he was fired from BuzzFeed for plagiarism, *end highlight* shared video of Noem looking down from the roof of the Ice facility at the small group of prostesrs below, including Jack Dickinson, a protest organizer who wears a chicken costume to mock Trump.

This is personalism. It's the Charles I scenario -- the king rules without the a legislature and simply taxes and spends in whatever way he feels like.

Impeach, remove, disqualify.

We've already had at least one clear attempted murder along these lines. We're surely going to have a successful one sooner or later. Probably sooner.

And god help us, but there's a real risk these guys do a My Lai on an apartment building. They're hiring sadistic, stupid bottom barrel thugs.

This is not going to end well. Sooner or later an American citizen is going to get killed.

CW: protester being struck in the head by a pepper ball

Footage I took earlier of the moment Reverend David Black, a regular protester outside of the Broadview Detention Center, was shot in the head with a pepper ball by ICE agents on the roof of the facility.

Streets are still closed off in front of the Portland ICE facility at 8:30pm. Protesters have gathered on a side street. Dance party in progress.
